How soon before Oread boons start hitting the market? Still waiting for that.

How many player boons are there each season? I thought there were just #1-5 until I recently encountered #7, not to mention all the boons I see pop up in this thread that I don't recognize. I am not counting mega-con specific boons, just Season 5 Player Boons.
So how many are there actually and how are they given out? I assume that larger conventions get access to more of them, but are they always given to cons in order or is it random.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they rotate quarterly. Who's Yer Con, a fairly substantial local con I just went to, had I think eight different boons available (counting the GM-only boon).

There's at least 10, but it may be that they are seasonal like the GM boon and 1-5 would go for one season then 6-10 for another, because I didn't see anything below 6 at DunDraCon.

I think I saw a #5 at DunDraCon, but to the best of my recollection most of the ones given out at the tables where I was the GM were high numbers.

Actually, you're right, I think #3, #4, and #5 were at DunDraCon, but so were #7, #8, and #10. The Mythic one was there too, but I don't remember it's number.

Doesn't Paizocon have its own set of special boons like Gencon does? I was wondering about the regular old Season 5 Player Boons which you can get at a regular con or regional event.

Hi all, I'm new to boons, don't actually have any, and not completely sure on how all this works.
Still, here's my offer:
HAVE:
$40 that I can instantly transfer to your PayPal account.
WANT:
Ratfolk race boon.
Please PM if interested. Also, let me know if that's not enough money - I'm not at all sure how much these are worth. (I just REALLY want to run a Ratfolk wizard.)

I know this thread is over 700+ posts long, and most people probably haven't read through it all, but offering to purchase boons, rather than just trading, is highly frowned upon.
It is heavily frowned upon to sell these boons. I provide them as a way to boost support to a con. At this time, there isn't much I can do about it. If it becomes a rampant problem, then we will reevaluate. This is similar to someone who wins a autographed book at a con and then puts it up for auction. Once it is in the person's possession, it is their property to do with as they wish. But, selling free boons doesn't sit well with me. It is the reason I don't make these boons better than they currently are. I can't tell you no to sell them. But, I would ask you to use some judgement and restraint in the matter as this kind of thing greatly disappoints me. Thanks to the seller for removing them.

Your friend might have meant that you have to DM to get a race boon specifically, since as far as I am aware that has generally been the case.

I don't believe there are any ratfolk boons available at this time. After Gencon you may see a few in action.
I would suggest looking for conventions in your local area and getting boons then coming back with a trade offer. Very rarely are boons just given up for free to be perfectly honest

Hey folks,
I'm looking for a Mounted Tradition boon.
I'm relatively new to PFS, so I've little to trade in terms of boons, but I'll list what I've got and we'll see how that works out for me.
Have: Undine, Debt to the Society, a willingness to buy someone some pdfs (if worse comes to worst. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth)
Want: Mounted Tradition
I'm GMing at a con in the spring, so I'll have that to offer up as well. The PC isn't rolling out until summer or fall. I'm currently working on leveling my chocobo (and his pet oracle).

Hi all,
I just wanted to post an apology and a retraction of my earlier offer.
I did not know that the sale of boons was frowned upon, and I'm sorry to have attempted to do so. (Had late-night character inspiration for a Ratfolk wizard, and got a bit over-excited).
Again, sorry. I'll try to see what I can do about balancing cons with my anxiety, and come back some time when I've got actual boons to trade.

Some people are willing to trade for official Paizo products, like books (that way, you're still supporting Paizo). I've also had a friend who is an excellent artist do a custom miniature paint job for someone in exchange for a boon.

Well, like many people here, I would like a boon. BUT...I kinda have none of my own at the moment.
I DO, however, have quite a few spare Pathfinder Battles minis that I would be willing to trade in exchange for one!
Hellknight Signifer (Medium)
Grub Swarm (Small)
Berbalang (Medium)
Reefclaw (Medium)
Fire Giant (Large)
Shaggy Demodand (Medium)
Festrog (Medium)
Please note that I would prefer to onnly trade 3 or so minis tops per boon.
As for what I would like, an obligatory race boon would be nice. But what I'm really searching for is a Moment of Glory boon! Mythic~
