Be prepared to spend around 3 hours getting your Rune Defender. However, getting one is one of the best choices you could make. Remember to get a backup one too! For getting tokens you should animate Black or Mith Armor. It's the quickest way of getting tokens. To add to your list, I'd suggest doing Horror from the Deep, then getting a Zammy book. You will want it very badly whenever you 1-handed Range or Mage. You will also want to make Animal Magnetism your highest priority quest. I can't imagine ever having ranged without Ava's Device. Good luck, and have fun in membership!
