TOPIC: Deciphering the Relic Fragment Riddle

True but it is also not on the transmuted page or the tep page so you cannot just mail it in, yet this point it seems.

Yeah, I started thinking about that after my last post. The flexibility of Orion's Belt seems nice, but with no Ioun Stones that boost healing and only a very-limited UC Charm, I'm not sure it helps me as much as Arcane Belt.

Still likely to make one, but less certain I'll be using it much after current season.

I'll definitely make one, just to have it.

More than one, I guess it depends on how demand goes.

I agree, I think it is a great item, and perfect at the relic level.

It was a fun ride to watch.

i put my fragments up on eBay

I'm leaning slightly towards the arcane belt for my cleric build, but I feel like it would be a bad move not to bank and Orions for later...

Also good time to be a charming set user.

So, did we have any affect on the release of this?

Like, if no one found the ring of riches was clickable, would token DB still be updated?

Ditto. Feels like this item will be very situational. There could be combos that make the belt worth it in the future but will have to do the numbers.

I will make one just because but it doesn't really compete with the STR legendary belt for me. I play the whack a mole wizard and beat stuff with a stick.

The recipe for Orion's Belt will be added to the Token Exchange Program page shortly. While hypothetically you could send away for it now, getting the required ingredients to us before tomorrow's cutoff might be challenging... and rather expensive!

You will be able to transmute Orion's Belt at Gen Con. Just take the neatly bagged & labeled ingredients and your paperwork to the transmuting room like you would any other recipe.

The Token Exchange Program Form contains Orion's Belt now and the recipe section indicates which fragment is which.

Bravo well done. This was quite the ride. Great puzzels, great conversations. It really passed the time till Gen Con.

This was really super fun!! Would have liked to have to have gone somewhere different then the transmute room for the trade in though, like one of the old hotel ballrooms. However I understand that would require extra resources. Hopefully we see more things like this in the future.

It would have been cool if they had a booth setup in or near the Hyatt ballroom - find the booth, get a discount on the transmute.
