Trade the collected Scrap to earn Tokens (Image via Valve)

Act I Tokens cannot be used in Act II, so you must grind from the start of the Deserts of Druud to earn a substantial amount of Tokens. Avoid playing turbo matches if you plan on grinding, as you will receive no Tokens for a loss in this mode. Instead, focus on normal or ranked pubs to earn more regardless of a loss.
