No. I just finished two more times. Once with a perfect set. You can't get further than 25-26 anyway. And this is about 115 tokens. To buy something decent, you need to spend topaz, otherwise there is no way. Look at them, they double the characteristics at once! Damn cheat :) I would also like to have a stock of topaz for twenty thousand to be able to prepare :) And so - you will have to do without delicious artifacts for * 1.15 something.
Sadness! :)
