	It has been bugged for a while now. The non-epic token giving chest sometimes spawns as a heroic level chest, thus giving no tokens. Next time you get 0 tokens from it, check the ML of the items in it to see. I gave up on DA for tokens long ago because frankly it sucks even without it bugging out. There are many better options if you have 5 bot accounts to multibox. LoD: 6 minutes per run, 6 tokens. BoB: 6 minutes per run, 6 tokens. Chains of Flame (yes, serious): 13 minutes per run, 15 tokens. Those times include getting the 5 bots killed, but not the time it takes to rez and loot/recall. People laugh at doing Chains for tokens. Yes it sucks balls running 6 accounts out there, but once that is done you ransack the quest in well under two hours and come out with around 120 tokens. Enough for 6 lives. (Each char gets 2 full tokens and 30-70 fragments per run). These times are based on my alchemist who clears r10 with ease so other classes/builds, especially without aoe damage may be a few minutes slower per run.

	For chains, run out on your main with your horse. Enter quest. Reset the wilderness (one of your nekkid barbarians will be the star to do this or go get a snack and wait the 5 minutes. Exit Chains of Flame quest. Now your entry point is at the quest entrance and you don�t have to make the run 5 more times. If anyone wants to share the method for where to jump in Chains to make the quest faster (I�ll need a YouTube video because I can�t figure it out otherwise) I�ll appreciate it more than I can say.

I'm not really understanding; are you saying this lets the alt step in to the wilderness at the quest entrance? Would the same thing work for BoB? i2049 wrote on Aug 13^th, 2020 at 7:25am: Those times include getting the 5 bots killed, but not the time it takes to rez and loot/recall. My alts don't die quite as easily. Sure 2 of them are naked barbarians who go down like cheap hookers, but the other 3 are characters I actually created to play/have friends play. Even naked they take a bit of a pounding. Last time I tried to kill them in LoD, fucking Gnomen took out all the mobs before they could kill my naked, dancing alts.

	Wormhole is a classic, but does not work in every explorer area.

	Halfmaniac wrote on Aug 11^th, 2020 at 9:28pm: The real question is: Why are none of you taking advantage of the free quests coupon code? Create a full bot party and long gone are your dreaded hours of farming tokens. It only takes about 20min (if u got the boxes or someone who can provide) To roll, do tutorial and cap the bot. and bonus point!: Not only you got yourself a full bot party to farm tokens, but also any gear! Stop being lazy +1 But then I have 7500 greater tokens set aside, who the fuck doesn't have tokens?

	I ran DA once on Elite and twice on Normal yesterday with 5 level 20 Barbarian friends in the party. They were all kind enough to pass me their tokens since I did all the killing and on elite, we got a total of 6 tokens (zero tokens in the second chest). On the two Normal runs, we got 10 total tokens and then 10 again on the second run. Going to run it again this afternoon if I am less tired by then. Almost felll asleep during wave 4 yesterday. Holy crap does that quest need a gong.

	Were the barbarians naked? This is critical, need-to-know information.

	The Barbarians who chose to join me on the quest all appeared to have some kind of no-gear challenge going on where all they had was the Grotto end reward great axe. It was weird seeing 5 different accounts all have the same challenge going into DA with me. I hope they remember to get a run speed item soon.

	You should tell them to ask your crafting friend for some cannith crafted 30% run speed boots. Alternatively, take them for a visit to the manufactury and get some cannith boots of propulsion. Also, if for whatever reason you just "happen" to have a whole shitload of Oils of Strengthening you're not going to use, they might appreciate them.
