This is indeed a very bargain basement price considering the huge amount of effort it takes to get flagged as far at T9 (Token of VT) and T7 (Token of Xeru) on top of that, well, there's not much for me to spend plat on these days. I know the effort involved as I flagged all of my characters through T9 the hard way.
Now I am pretty old school so I think the process of getting there in EQ is more fun than being there so, I've enjoyed the flagging and the extra huge amounts of time I've had to roam around the EQ zones getting flags but then....I am old school and I don't expect all others to have my funky tastes.
So a new price system is going in place as of today, you folks who want tokens will have to do some work (much less than flagging to be sure) to trade for tokens. Currently I will trade tokens as follows:
Token of Xeru for 100 Hardened Lizard Hides
Token of VT for 400 Hardened Lizard Hide
Of course you folks are welcome to pass this along if you have more plat than time: buy the hides from someone else and trade them to me!
My guess it will take a few hours to get the hides and do the combines but this is far less effort than getting flagged for T1.
Of course I DO NOT have an infinite supply of tokens so I need to farm them...don't expect me to instantly flag your 40 member guilds.
After I get my 300 in tailoring with Hardened Lizard Hides, then I'll barter for something else I need for another trade skill.
