Defender Medals are a form of currency used to purchase items from the Tavernkeep. They are obtained by completing waves, beginning with the third, in the Old One's Army event, dropped by the Eternia Crystal at the end of each wave. Betsy's Expert Mode Treasure Bag also rewards 30–49 Defender Medals when opened. In addition, the player can obtain 10 Defender Medals by talking to the Tavernkeep and selecting the "Eternia Crystal" option, but this can only be done once per character.

Notes

• In Multiplayer, each player picks up a separate stack of Defender Medals from the Eternia Crystal, similar to how Treasure Bags work in Expert Mode.

Tips

• Purchasing items and immediately selling them back to the Tavernkeep is a good way to turn Defender Medals into coins. Increasing the Tavernkeep's happiness ensures greater profits.

Trivia

• Purchasing one of every item available for Defender Medals requires 11500000*1150 .
• Until 1.3.5, items had an unused internal name. The Defender Medal's name was "our first non coin currency!"
