TOPIC: 2023 Re-Print Ideas

Rare or Uncommon:

tokendb.com/token/bottle-of-rum/ - But also a GP Equivalent token

Rare:

tokendb.com/token/1-sea-elf-spear/
tokendb.com/token/brawlers-mug-rare/

tokendb.com/token/eel-skin-gloves/ - Similar But as a Rare (e.g. Gloves of the Eel) and +2 Shock regardless of weapon type

tokendb.com/token/shark-tooth-armor/

Some kind of "of focus" hand slot item for Wizards (it's fine with me if other classes are included - it's just that it will have been 7 years since a rare hand slot "of focus" Wizard item).
tokendb.com/token/staff-of-focus/

tokendb.com/token/blessed-wind-gloves/ (No longer a transmute)

Uncommon:

tokendb.com/token/sea-elf-spear/
tokendb.com/token/nixie-shield/
tokendb.com/token/potion-siren-wine/
tokendb.com/token/shoes-of-fire-step/ (Shift damage type to cold and theme to nautical?)
tokendb.com/token/belt-of-the-bull/
tokendb.com/token/gloves-of-linked-fury/
tokendb.com/token/gloves-of-wrath/
tokendb.com/token/pants-of-quickness/

Common:

tokendb.com/token/light-trident/
tokendb.com/token/wooden-oar/
tokendb.com/token/lens-of-the-hawk/ (Perhaps change the effect to just say: +1 to hit with Common and Uncommon ranged weapons and the name to something nautical)
tokendb.com/token/raiders-shirt/
tokendb.com/token/ale-drinkers-belt/
tokendb.com/token/raiders-belt/ (assuming there are axes at common)
tokendb.com/token/raiders-cloak/
tokendb.com/token/raiders-gloves/ (assuming there are axes at common)
tokendb.com/token/raiders-helm/
tokendb.com/token/raiders-robe/

UR:

tokendb.com/token/2-sacred-sling/

A solid ranged option for Clerics, and allow some more Relic -> Io's transmutes (especially since the Ranger Necklace focuses on Ranged attacking).

Fred K wrote: Below UR, I'd recommend reprints of these:
Rare:
Censor of Sacrifice
Flask of Sharing
Brawler's Horn

These are completion tokens. To date no completion token has even been reprinted (although some have been functionally reprinted, and with the huge numbers of completion tokens coming about in the last few years it may be inevitable).

While I'd be fine with this, the Viper Stike Set is (I believe?) unique among sets in having a 4th piece added to it years after the first batch.

I'd be more excited about a viper strike thing in some other slot (wrist, hands seem the most flavorful)

Updooting these ideas by others:

UR
+2 Assassin's Crossbow
+2 Rod of Persuasion
Bowl of Spirit Sight
Crown of MIght (And subsequent Might items in coming years, although possibly new ones in different slots)
Earcuff of Orbits
Something like Ektdar's Tinkering Tool but with some purpose for non-rogues as well
Gloves of Deflection
Goggles of Instant Analysis
IS Sapphire Prism
Ioun Stone Topaz Trilliant
Lenses of the Fae
Quiver of Anointment

Rare
+1 Sling
+2 Cloak of Resistance
Charm of Enlightenment
Ring of Brilliance
Ring of the Deep (only if it would be relevant)
Sacred Arrow
Staff of Focus


Uncommon
2013 rare/uncommon Blunder Slugs (or equivalent)
Ring of Enervation

Transmuted: If TPTB are interested in opening up paths to crafting older Legendaries.

I would like to see these relics available again:

Greater Cloak of Destiny
Ring of Greater Focus

It seems the Totem of Heroism is drawing a lot of controversy and math.

I have a suggestion:

Instead of making Totem of Heroism's ingredients available forever, periodically make Folio's of Might available (in the treasure mix, as a large purchase or early order reward, etc.)

Then people who want to play at 5th level slotlessly without Eldritch stuff can, and people who want a rare legendary token that is hard to get can have that too.

We recently got the lenses of agility (2020) so 2023 makes sense for the Libram then 2026 for the +2 Rod of Persuasion or Ekdtar's. I would recommend the masterwork theives' tools be on an every other year rotation.

Fred

The Libram was last reprinted in 2017, +2 Rod of Persuasion was last printed in 2016, and Ektdar's was last reprinted in 2014. I think Ektdar's needs the reprint over the Libram, but agree that all 3 need reprints in the coming years.

Do we really need an Ektdar's though? I never got that one, it just always seemed cheesy, like if I can't do the full thing, I'll use a retry or auto success token. Maybe I'm in the minority, just never liked that token.

How do you feel about the rod of persuasion if you think Ekdtar's is cheesy?

Why do something different when we already have the mechanism to get what we want now, just expand it for a few years giving people who need it actual time to get it? Its a perfect item/reward to give people who are playing VTD over these tough years.

I have the Rod, I rarely need to use it, but that's what I'm saying, I'm not sure Ekdars is really needed anymore, we have many other tokens that work to do the same job, if not better.

Not against a reprint, just wondering if its not sort of obsolete at this point.

In physical TD, Ektdar’s saves time.

Reprint Gloves of Deflection.
Reprint all Rod of 7 Parts pieces and all Ring of Supreme Elemental Command pieces and reopen transmute so people who didn't have megabucks to spend years ago have a chance to obtain Eldtrich set.
