Token Management in Dota 2 Crownfall Act I The Markets of Midgate
Play and try to win games to earn a respectable sum of Tokens. Furthermore, if you are going to grind, avoid turbo mode, as a loss in this mode is a waste of time.
Don't trade with the Token Trader as it will deplete your Token inventory quickly. You have a lot of time to finish the main and side quests, so avoid contacting the Token Trader unless it's an emergency.
Don't spend Candies on normal bundles, voicelines, treasures, and couriers in the Candyworks Caravan. Only spend them on arcanas and immortal treasures.
