I recently decided to get my defender. I initially got 750 tokens thinking that would be more than sufficient while wearing my ring of wealth. Those tokens only got me my bronze defender around the 300 token level!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I then went the next evening to get more tokens and a friend came with me that already had a rune defender. I proceeded to collect about 1800 tokens and headed upstairs. Over the next 900 tokens I got all the way up to rune! In the same amount of time my friend got seven rune defenders to augment her stock already. We were both wearing a ring of wealth while doing this.

i got all the defenders with about 1.2k tokens and about 200 of them for bronze also i didnt wear ring of wealth.
