How long to get 20 epic tokens?

[AltheaSteelrain]

I am a f2p, with a couple of adventure packs "bought" through rerolling characters and earning TP. Currently I have,

1. Vale of Twilight
2. Delera
3. Catacombs
4. 600 Turbine Points

I am actually tempted to buy the Red Fens Adventure pack next, since all the quests in the pack are epic capable. But after doing my homework and realizing that maybe, those flagging quests may drop epic token fragments instead, it brings me to the point of asking how hard it is to reach 20 epic tokens as a f2p with Red Fens, Demon sands, VON? I can only choose 1.

In my signature is my current character, of course it has the mandatory max song for fascinate. I also have good sneaking abilities later researching that combat is secondary in epics, and more on crowd control and mitigating damage. So given also that I usually play with half the party PUG and the rest are guildies, I theorize it'll be slow, but how slow?

Finally, is it worth it? Or should I just get Amrath or low level adventure packs to unlock 32 point builds?

You should ask your question in another section (Quests ?), as it's not really Reincarnation-linked

100 epic fragments = 1 epic token.

"Fragments-dropping" quests usually drop in the range of 40-70 fragments.

Iirc, Von 1, Von 2 and all quests in Red Fens but "Into the Deep" drop fragments.

The right question is: which quests would you be able to run? This depends on your guild, friends, server: if you buy content that nobody runs, it will take longer ......

In my experience,
- Von 6 and Zawabi's Revenge: plenty of parties;
- Von 1 and 2: fairly common, since they are quick runs;
- An Offering of Blood, The Chamber of Rayium: common, but picky;
- Von 3, Chains of Flame, Against the Demon Queen: few parties, often very "picky";
- Von 4 and 5: seldom run;
- The Red Fens: only a few items are considered appealing; people usually run "Into the Deep" and "The Last Stand".

Definately go for 1750 favour and 32 points builds.

In my experience,
- Von 6 and Zawabi's Revenge: plenty of parties; Plenty of guild/channel parties. Rarely pugged.
- Von 1 and 2: fairly common, since they are quick runs; Extremely rare since they are no longer easy to solo, do not drop full tokens and there are much better places for farming tokens.
- An Offering of Blood, The Chamber of Rayium: common, but picky;
- Von 3, Chains of Flame, Against the Demon Queen: few parties, often very "picky";
- Von 4 and 5: seldom run;
- The Red Fens: only a few items are considered appealing; people usually run "Into the Deep" and "The Last Stand".

Argo experience added.

thanks for the inputs ^__^

it seems the new red fens pack is much forgiving to first time TR's with moderate gear than sands...

Though Amrath = 32 point build option suddenly becomes appealing... :P

The Carnival pack (not mentioned in the OP) is probably the best for farming tokens.

It's semi-popular, short quests and you can get around 2.7 tokens every 18 hours from 3 quests there. Pretty easy in comparison to the Desert & even the Fens. There's a 4th quest that drops a token but it's too hard for most pugs & rarely run because the end chest is broken.

Afaik only the long/hard quest to pug in Fens drops tokens. The rest drop fragments, but one is soloable by your stealth char.

Really? I haven't considered getting Carnival because aside from the Antique Great Axe, there isn't any good loot for any of my melee bards. :|

Which quest in Red Fens do you need stealth in? I was anticipating to stealth my way in epics.
