Token

Token is the term for items of various types that are used like currencies to purchase items from vendors. Tokens are usually account bound trophies, but certain vendors may ask for other kinds of items as tokens, for example, crafting materials such as globs of ectoplasm or consumables like Pieces of Zhaitaffy.

Trivia

• The wallet, introduced as part of the Queen's Jubilee, converted several tokens into account currencies: tokens earned in dungeons, Fractal Relics, Badges of Honor, and Guild Commendations. In later Game Releases the Wallet was further expanded to contain Geodes, Bandit Crests and Pristine Fractal Relics.
