Campaign Completion and Signet of Patronage

I have never used any of them so i have some questions:

1)Does the Campaign Completion token includes boons? Or only campaign tasks? Would i still have to farm boons?

2)What about the pack of campaign currency that is said to come with Campaign Completion? How much currency is that for each campaign?

3)Does Signet of Patronage cut the costs of boons? Or only costs of campaign tasks?

    1) Yes, no, no
    2) Yes. I think there is a list somewhere. Did you check the item in Zen store? It probably has a list.
    3) It cut the cost of all tasks (which include boon) in the campaign diagram.

    Thanks for the info, plasticbat!

    That's the thing. I have the vague memory that the Zen Store showed those campaign currency packs, but now i check and there's no info whatsoever.

    The exact details of what the patron token does varies by campaign. It effectively halves the time to complete any non-repeatable task. Mostly by cutting the costs but in the case of SKT it doubles your reputation gain. Confusingly, the bonus rep isn't shown in the quest rewards.

    SKT doesn't seem to help with Secrets of Ostoria.

    Doesn't the Genie's Gift now work with SKT currencies now? I recently finished up the boons with about 20 Gifts.

    Not sure. Used the Signets that I had. In the process of gathering for the next.

    Not entirely correct. Costs for keys and some other things (e.g. "Dragon Emire Treasures" or "Prevent Tiamat's Return" in the ToD campaign) for example are not cut in half. But most are, that's true.

    Btw, one of my chars almost flew through the Icewind Dale campaign during the recent event that doubled that campaign's currency gain. With the Signet of Patronage, my char made 4x the progress as normal. :-)

    True. I forgot about those.

    It did last October when I finished my alts but perhaps it is bugged now.

    Patronage works by halving the currency cost of progression and boon campaign tasks. However after being halved the costs are rounded up. So tasks such as Dread Ring progression that take 1 unit of currency, still take 1 unit of currency. In addition the time taken to execute the task is not reduced so the Underdark canpaign and Tyranny of Dragons are not significantly shortened - they have 18-20hr task durations - although the boons for Tyranny are greatly accelerated.

    The upshot of all this is that patronage is not a good fit for all campaigns.

    In the matter of keys, it is a discount on the Non-repeatable tasks.

    I am working with one of the characters that completed SKT to gather supplies for a Signet. Secrets of Ostoria for that character are 4/day; 3 for Defending the Dale and 1 for Readying for Invasion.
