Hi all,
I've gone through and added details about the Item Grade raid tokens called Eye of Demonfire. (Also available outside of raids in a limited capacity).
This are almost exactly like the raid tokens from games like WOW and other MMOs, except that they buy RECIPES for to upgrade your items, so players of many heroes can upgrade all their heroes items instead of having to focus on just one hero.
Here's some initial info:
Eye of Demonfire
A new item upgrade currency known as "Eye of Demonfire" is now available in game.
Each raid boss drops 25 tokens, except Surtur drops 50 tokens. This is a once a week per account per boss drop
Each shared daily quest drops 2 Eyes of Demofire per day per quest, total of 6 per day. (42 per week)
Man Ape drops 3 Eyes of Demonfire, once per day. (21 per week)
Summary:
You can receive up to 63 per week from playing outside of raids. (more will be added with upcoming new content and with Login Rewards)
You can receive up to 150 per week from raids if you completely clear all encounters, including Surtur.
Misc. Notes:
These will eventually drop in loot boxes from raid bosses instead of on the ground. For the last week of Beta you will have to click on the ground.
It is absolutely intended that someone who dedicates the time, effort and preparation to raiding has the potential to acquire these faster, assuming they put in the work every week. However, everyone will still have access to them, even if they never step foot into a raid zone.
This isn't the final list of methods to acquire the tokens, but it's a reasonable start.
Recipes for each slot are approximately 200-300 tokens each. Once you get a recipe for the slot, you can upgrade any number of items for any hero, with a crafting cost associated with each one. [around 20k credits each]
These will be added to the Currency Tab when it launches later this year.
