Brutes are a solid choice. I highly recommend Staff/Dark Armour. The Stance in Staff that reduces End works wonders while you figure iout your end usage, which is of the utmost importance with DA. Later you can switch to the Dmg one and wonder why you didn't do it so much sooner. Yes it it weak against certain things, robots always come to mind with their tin heads, but the damage can definitely be improved upon substantially. Throw Musculature into the mix later for added oomph. Lots of AoEs, mainky cones. Yes Yes I know..cones...yuck...they actually get pretty easy with a bit of practice and a bunch of hopping around. A Defence Debuff from at lvl 1. The Tier 9, Sky Splitter, does heavy Single Target damage when charged up with Staff's particular quirk, Perfection (hit 3 times in a row, get a bonus to that attack or the oh so wonderful Eye of the Storm). Plus you are spinning a staff and how cool is that? Dark Armour has pretty much everything you need for success as well: Decent Resistance and easy to build Def (one of your cones will help with this), immune to Holds and such, an Aura that makes your foes tremble in Fear, another that damages while they are helpless, a rez for when things go bad, stealth and arguably one of the best heals we have. Yes it is a lot of auras to manipulate so you are not a ball of dark, multicoloured light, but there are options for minimal effects on some of the powers. Yes it is weak to Psionic but I gather everything is. Brought mine to 50 purely Praetorian...well kind of. When I hit 40 I ran Tina of course. As well started helping out Vanguard, I had previously established a relationship with Dark Watcher on Praetoria; went to Cimerora a couple of times as dimensional hopping was old hat by now. Or maybe that was my Psionic/Dark Scrapper. Either way.....Great combo and great stories.

Fair enough. Then I shall join in whatever way I need to and correct away. Thank you.

While we are here is there a specific spot we collect Wiki info that is out of date? Occasionally come across stuff but not sure what to do.

Do people actually do this? Seems like a lot of work for the payoff. To me anyways.

Are they paying lots?

Wasn't me this time so I am happy about that.

Boosting is super tedious, especially if you are doing pretty much all of your IOs. The trick to speed it up is to change to windowed mode, shrink the screen and go to town. Less mouse traveling speeds things up substantially. Still boring as all hell though 😥

Is there a map that utilizes part of the original Dark Astoria map for our arcs?

I started keeping mine as cautionary tales. 70 million LoTGs, 300 mill Cytoskeletons, 40 million Steadfasts, a host of rare salvage in the 10 million range. Always figure it would help but sadly, much like life, I tend to ignore cautionary tales.

The price of this one seems to be on a 6-8 week cycle. Bottoms out around 25 million, which has more or less just passed, and tops at 50ish but mainly hovers in the low 40s. Good money to be had if you are so inclined 😉 and if you want to just save some money wait a few weeks. Hami's are versatile and add some added oomph to builds with an extra slot to spare in a few directions at once. Plus they can be combined to make 53s which have great bonuses. Be warned though that the combination process can fail. I was unaware of this. 😔

Then again some of the Hami Os are pretty pricey as well.

Discounting PvP, ATOs and the winter stuff...Overwhelming Forces KB to Kd, LoTGs and Steadfast + Def are all solid earners.

Cottage rule?

Wow. Thats a long way.

This is a good idea. More of us 9s always better

I always assumed it evolved into us. Occasionally I see people reference their participation on SCORE here.

I have both received and given a surplus amount of influence. I want to say I have donated MUCH MUCH MORE to lucky individuals. The reasons vary. Sometimes it is fat fingers, sometimes the result of amounts carrying over from other bids, sometimes the result of just tooooo much pot or tequila. My favourite is when I am curious how cheap I can buy things. I often do this with Ultimates in sets of 10. "Ok...filled quickly at half a million lets play. 476000...seconds...420000...just as fast...358000...crazy how low people set their price...288000...WTH insta filled. Oh thats why...an extra 0 on all of them." So yeah...both ways. Funny part is I almost never use them...just like to collect.

Love that movie. Wife hates it but that's OK. She can leave the room.

Hmmmm...now I want an alien.

Tough one. Do not forget that you can adjust the facial sliders...this is something I recall every few years. Perhaps some kind of a skull face. Best of luck...look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I have one of those. Love it.

Now there is a name from the past. Very well might have been.

Before emails became a thing there were players with trusted reps who would transfer influence for a flat percentage. Don't recall who and how much but did it a number of times with no issue.

Yes.

If you have accepted no missions from them you can just out level them. If it is a contact you have done some missions for and have the little story book thing attached to them you need to finish the arc for them to go away.
