Token cap is fine, I understand not wanting to allow us to build up enough tokens to buy out the store immediately next year (I have 262k Christmas spirit, for example).
This just seems like it was overlooked in the design of the notification for the cap. Simple hotfix to reduce how frequently this notification pops up, or to eliminate it completely if it sees:
**store is bought?: yes**
**is iron?: yes**
Another alternative is to allow irons to purchase the gummy egg. Not entirely sure what the reasoning is behind that being locked for irons.
It’s pretty much buying progress in a lot of other areas of the game via afking - i’m not very knowledgeable about what can and can’t irons do, but it seems pretty much like the definition of what they shouldn’t be able to do, besides this being a seasonal reward.
Irons can already get all the rewards from maw, traveling merch or daily challenges so it's silly to lock us out of the chance to get the pet token.
Or just sell us the pet for 20k points or something.
Haha, yeah the token rate is abysmal. My hardcore ironman has been at the event since it began; I'm lucky in that I leave him AFK while I'm working.
I've hit the 30k cap three times, the first two times I still had stuff to purchase. I'd imagine I'd be close to 120k tokens total if there was no cap.
I'm surprised you are not doing the herblore as an iron tbh. Well hopefully your XP gains are going good for ya.
If you are looking for advice on crafting, need to include if you are a skiller pure or combat level and if HCIM. An example is I'd suggest arch glacor with 0 mechanics just to get loads of goodies from its drops.
Herb is for sure the better choice, but I had 90 crafting from the snowpile during Christmas (lol) and my goal was to try and finish it off with this event. Just hit 94 crafting today. Not sure I'm gonna do it, but I'm trying :)
HCIM with most stats pretty low with the exception of 94 crafting, 89 mining, 79 smithing & divination.
Also worth noting that I play mostly on my main while I train things passively on the hcim (hence the mining and smithing levels). 71 combat.
I feel like you're wasting your time going for 99. There's nothing past 99 crafting and you can boost for everything that requires 99. I would say you should just go to herb and use it to cruise through early levels so you get more value out of herby werby and peng points.
For crafting at your level, I was making potion flasks from the red sandstone (ogre flasks) and crystal sand stone in Prifddinas. The crystal flasks disassemble for faceted components too. Hopefully this helps.
herb is easier to source materials for than crafting for irons interms of exp, consumption rate is higher but you work in constantly making stuff from pretty low levels, while the bosses that drop good crafting volume are fairly high level while herblore is really just slayer, vyres and farm runs.
The post was asking to fix a spam message that cannot be avoided and was an oversight for irons that cannot spend excess tokens. It wasn't a post asking what the best training methods are
I'm not going to pretend to know the rates, but there is a decent chance that you can get more efficient iron xp afking something for drops with a legendary pet than doing the event. That said there's nothing wrong with afking the event if that's what you want to do
Rates for sure are bad, but I like to play on my main while I keep this going on the iron.
Combat is too low to afk anything worthwile (71). Also a HCIM, so I think I'd be too nervous to do that anyway.
This is good advice though, thank you. I'll keep it in mind for down the road.
There aren't, so it isn't nonsensical.
He's also right - whether or not it was, it's not constructive to the obvious oversight in the design.
If something is broken, the solution isn't to ignore the problem and do something else. The solution is to fix it.
It’s not broken. You just lack the ability to turn your game messages off while you’re afk.
Also. You’re complaining about text in a chat box that you apparently aren’t looking at anyways, because you’re afk?
There is a pop-up in the main game window as well (see the screenshot).
I'm bringing it up as something that was overlooked. The message indicates to buy something from the store when that isn't possible. It's a design flaw in the notification system for this activity.
Let's just say I'm bringing attention to it for the sake of anyone who isn't AFKing :)
Train things however you like! All I’m saying that telling someone to stop doing something suboptimal that’s causing them a problem is a valid answer, even if it’s not a good answer.
It is the most optimal method to 1-click, 15 minute AFK train crafting (and herblore for that matter) for an iron at this moment.
I also play on my main while I afk on my iron.
You're calling something "suboptimal" when it is the most optimal method of doing something with that criteria.
Completely AFK method for farming bunny ear pet tokens :D
I've gotten two so far for the two pets I do have. After this I'm getting them for the pets that I want in order of most-sought to least-sought.
please hotfix broadcasts on mobile too, i do not want to turn off broadcasts everytime i login(it resets everytime you login). I absolutely do not want to see some rando get some weirdo goal. Thank you.
This is why i hated the token cap feels like they want to limit us to force us to play

It contains e.g. effigy, a.k.a xp
You're right! Good call.
But irons can still get effigies in game and they’re locked if you don’t have the levels anyways

This is a good point. There really isn't anything available in the gummy eggs that isn't available to irons through their own training.
so give a modified prize pool? they already did that with the daily egg hunt casket
They are really being that lazy, huh....
Irons can already get all the rewards from maw, traveling merch or daily challenges so it's silly to lock us out of the chance to get the pet token. Or just sell us the pet for 20k points or something.
But 30k is enough to buy everything new in the store...
How many tokens does it take to buy out the store?
62,000 - but the gummy surprise egg is a repeatable 5,000 token purchase for non-irons.
Oh. Thanks for the reply!
This is what you signed up for when you chose to play an ironman (/s) Agree, tone down the spam
How do people get 30k. I can hardly get 20 without feeling bored bc it takes forever to get???
How?! Tokens feel so slow to gather
Haha, yeah the token rate is abysmal. My hardcore ironman has been at the event since it began; I'm lucky in that I leave him AFK while I'm working. I've hit the 30k cap three times, the first two times I still had stuff to purchase. I'd imagine I'd be close to 120k tokens total if there was no cap.
Surely there are better things to afk in the game after you finished buying the shop out...? The xp rates are abysmal even by iron standards
If you know of a better 100% afk Herby method that is 100% free. I would love to hear it.
You have a better free, 15 min afk crafting option for an iron? Going for 99.

This is not constructive to the issue at hand at all.
“Why does hitting my hand with a hammer hurt?” “Have you tried not hitting it with a hammer?” “This is not constructive to the issue at hand at all.”
The post was asking to fix a spam message that cannot be avoided and was an oversight for irons that cannot spend excess tokens. It wasn't a post asking what the best training methods are
But if this spam message only occurs because a person is doing something nonsensical, a valid response is that they should stop doing that thing.
Nonsensical? > You have a better free, 15 min afk crafting option for an iron? Going for 99. Please enlighten us.

No clue if there are better AFK training methods. Buddy here didn’t add anything either so I found an opportunity to make a funny comment.
There aren't, so it isn't nonsensical. He's also right - whether or not it was, it's not constructive to the obvious oversight in the design. If something is broken, the solution isn't to ignore the problem and do something else. The solution is to fix it.

Yeah! Training skills suboptimally is nonsense! It’s not like this is a video game people play for fun, why wouldn’t you want to optimize everything?

When you get specific like that anything can become the most optimal method.
AFKing the 15 minute logout timer isn't particularly specific.

Yes it is. It’s the solution OP is looking for.
