Found an easy way to get free endless beta tokens without killing any mobs

In shards Landing there is an area with skulls on the ground that you can open like chests (called an eerily familiar plant) These can have beta tokens in them. Fast repop, no KOS mobs there

Location is -255.05, -1540.35, 2.19

Took me 45 mins to get around 100 tokens

hope you can it done before beta ends :-)
 
You can also do crafting to get beta tokens, If you don't have any trade skills you can just beta buff a toon then go to the crafthalls and do an easy TS quest over and over. You will have to buy the materials but you start with 75k as a betabuff. My personal favorite is the Jewel crafting 12 this year. It's simple, make a round cut, trillion cut and square cut energized gemstone. You can probably find an easy combine whatever TS Is your favorite though. I just went through the JC list looking at what was required for completion and that was the simplest one. You get 1 token per task completed. Making 3 cut gems takes around 10 seconds if you get the recepie down, and add it to the favorite list. make sure to buy Jewel crafting mastery and put on your JC trophy, makes learning the recepie easier when you're just getting it started. buy 3 cutting tools and make them into the square, trillion and round respectively by combining the tool in the bag by itself it will change. I busted out my tokens in under 30 mins just like last year. They sell all the stuff you need for basically nothing in the craft halls and even supply the raw materials like the energized gemstones, jewelers glass pre made, and planar jewelers kit.

Sorry it's sorta long but I put some extra stuff in to explain things to those who don't do TSing or JC. I'm not exactly sure we need 100 tokens but it can't hurt right? I was told the magic number is 50. I always go over though, last year I did 120 per account. Thanks for your tip though, I didn't know there was any other way to get tokens besides helping a GM test something, kill or craft.

Any chance you could be more specific on the materials needed for this? And what NPC to buy stuff from? As someone who hasn't even touched trades killing, I have no clue where to start!

Thanks in advance,

NICE
 
Moot point now as we only (apparently) have a few hours left of beta but the ground spawns are much quicker than the tradeskills method. It seems weird that the reward to cut those gems is the quest, stone of beta and 100000 plat. What would you spend it on?!
 
I went to where you posted but someone else was already there collecting the beta tokens . however if you go just around the corner (LOC -23, -1564, 9.75) there is ratt corpses wich are containers like the flowers are and have so far been giving about 1 token in every 3 corpses.
Hope it helps.
 
A small update to what i posted,, the rats and bugs are non aggro as long as you don get bored and kill a couple like i did. However the Humanoid mobs are extreamly KoS.
 
Sorry nice, I got caught up this weekend looking for a good deal on a gift for my mother, unfortunately I found nothing worthwhile. To answer the question more specifically Kratch the ale ender in the crafthalls has the TS quests. The merchants are just around the corner from him. The first DE in a blue robe on the right entering the hall with the label (Crafting Kits) sells the containers to combine stuff in. The dark elf in white labeled (Jewelcraft & pottery Materials) on the same wall but third from the last sells the Energized gemstones, cutting tools and jewelers glass. I suppose this method is a bit involved for someone who has never done it and yes the reward for each completed task is 1 beta stone and 100,000 plat which I have no idea why but it's fun. I always end up with a few million plat to just wish I really had... lol. If only doing Trade skills was that profitable in the normal areas of EQ, besides the people who make the AOAA's and cultural stuff, they make a killing.

Good luck to you guys whichever method you choose. And I don't know what our reward will be for beta but if it's a merc that means we'll have gotten three mercs for this expansion, well on my main account I got the collector pack and there's already two in that one, I'm not sure I can handle any more! I have to get on doing that Hero's barrax quest so I can unlock more slots.
