Thread: What to do with all these Anniversary Tokens?...

New-ish player here. I have an alt that's acquired triple digits in Anniversay Tokens (got both the Beer Fight Deeds, plus many Envelope runs, plus miscellaneous Fest quests, and then won a handful in a lottery). What, exactly, can I do with them all?

As I understand it, I can...

o get some (nice!) cosmetic clothing
o get some (rather odd) cosmetic clothing
o get some maps for another Title (cartogrophile), which is also purely cosmetic afaiu.
o get some trappings for a house (if I had a house)
o Spend 40 Tokens on an odd-looking (but high caliber) horse (if I wanted to do some Races (and win more tokens), spend several hundred silver and purchase the Riding Skill for 95 TP.)
o Save them for ''next year'' (when I'll almost surely be in the same boat!)

Anything else? Anything I'm missing?

(Also - re the Maps - how long do they have to stay in your Inventory to trigger the Title? Can you buy some, dump them, then buy the rest?)

That's pretty much exactly what you can do with the Anniversary Tokens. Seasonal events like this aren't meant to be productive or improve your character, they're meant for fun.

As far as the map deeds, as soon as the item is in your inventory, the deed progresses. You can trade the maps to other players or alts, or even sell them if you like.

You are probably going to want to get the riding skill anyways. Once you get out of the starter zones it gets to be a pita to get around on foot. The horse is better than average, as it has 250 hp, rather than 100 like the normal mounts.

well, the map deed gives ten TP and the 11 maps themselves are tradable. So depending how many alts you have (9 chars in my case) its ok to place them all in the house chest and you have 90 tp more. After that you could sell them on the AH, or trade them to a kin mate, passing them around.

Purchasing the riding skill certainly is worth it. When you start doing the epic part of the books at around lvl50+, you will wish for a horse and swift travel, believe me..

You say ''passing them around'' - does that trigger the Deed/Title as well? So if one had a dozen alts and shared storage, they could just buy one set and get that deed on all the alts?

Oh, I'm wrestling with that, believe me. Complication is that I'll be activating a retail Mines of Moria box soon, and get the Riding Skill free at that time - so the question is not whether I want it or will get it (I do, I certainaly will), the question is whether it's worth 95/alt now, when in a dozen levels they'll have it anyway. :/ (And the more I ''run'' around, the more I'm leaning toward... YES, WORTH IT... but I'm still torn.)

I bought one set that four characters worked together to buy. Passed it around to complete the deed for the 11 characters that I have on 2 different accounts using shared storage and a house chest.

Each of the "cartogrophile" deeds consists of a list of requirements to "obtain a map of <X>". The moment you first add one of the maps to your inventory bags, the requirement for that particular map gets checked off in your deed log as accomplished. You can then trade the map, or place it back in shared storage for your other alts, or even destroy it, as that particular requirement towards the deed is already met. So you don't need to keep all the maps, nor have them all at the same time, just have held each one for at least a moment.

One note: There's two different "cartogrophile" deeds, Eriador Cartographile and Moria Cartographile. You can get all eleven of the maps needed for the Moria Cartographile deed now during the Anniversary event, but the Eriador Cartographile deed is spread out across several festivals. There's about four or so maps available for that one now, and others will be available during different seasonal festivals, so you can get all the maps it requires sometime during the year, but there's no time when you can collect them all at once like you can with the Moria maps.

Understood, thanks for clarifying that point.
