Ironblade

Cool. I had an invuln/staff tank who wore a tuxedo, top hat and monocle and was named Stick Chap.

Ah yes, how the little people track their money. 🙂 Back on live, I had a similar spreadsheet except that the purpose was to keep track of which characters had room to hold more. Each character could only hold 2 billion and I had about 55 billion inf and only around 35 characters. And I didn't and still don't like storing large sums in email or the auction house. I don't have that kind of money on Homecoming - only about 9 billion.

The overwhelming majority of badges NEVER behaved that way, so very little has changed.

He was correct. My badger has 1600 also.

um... You're talking to a guy who has characters named Unarmed Wombat, Fists of Furry Fury, Fidgety Girl, Mr Shouty, Toggle Man. I also had Dark Lord Darkness and Lord Footloose back on live. So, I don't think there is a name too silly for me. A name would have to be offensive for me to avoid it.

And when you say "unslot", the free method is to respec and leave everything in the trays. You have room for 70 enhancements and we get a free respec every 10 levels so you probably have some extra. As for the reward merits: Converters and some effort get you the best cash. If you don't care about the cash, buying purples is the lowest effort.

The Secret World had something like that. You had to qualify as tank, DPS or healer before gaining access to the high level raids. Part of the healer test was keeping an NPC alive who was literally standing in a fire and would not move.

Thank you! TPN and Keyes are the ones that I pretty never run again once I have the badges. They have you doing the same thing again and again - but during a single run of the trial. Well, now you lost me. MoM is one of the trials that I'll join if I happen to be around when someone runs it. I just make sure to take someone who can handle the non-stop psi damage, like an electric tank or dark defender.

Well, on the list you posted I see no mention of the Auction House or the Incarnate system. Those are pretty major.

In fact, most IO prices have declined. The devs have done a good job of avoiding inflation. Also, I think another factor is that more people are learning how to use the market to get inf by converting and selling and this has depressed the prices of the more expensive items.

I know, right? They must not be familiar with the old saying, "When you judge someone, you don't define them. You define yourself."

Wow, that was weird. But no one would ever do that in real life . . .

The schedule for each evening is posted earlier in the day, often early in the morning. So I have no idea when the next Lady Grey run will be. The last one was on June 2nd. I can tell you that because I'm on the Everlasting TFs Discord and the schedule is posted each day at the same time it is put in the message of the day for the Everlasting TFs global channel. Unlike the in-game channel, the Discord information stays there indefinitely. So your best bet is to join the Everlasting TFs global channel and check the MotD each day. I run it myself when it's the weekly, but that was four weeks ago so it's nine weeks before it comes up again. I'll do it with you if you want to set up a day and time for it.

Does anyone have any advice on slotting enhancements while leveling re/origin vs I/Os, when to replace I/Os, whether it's better to buy recipes at the workbench or at the AH, how much influence should be spent crafting will leveling, etc. All build guides I've come across are slotted for lvl 50, so I'm at a loss as to how to slot as I level. Well, this is a matter of personal opinion. Many people have one build to level and then respec and reslot at level 50. As for me, I use SO's up until about level 30-35, then I start slotting IO's - adding high level sets to newer powers as I level and that's my final build. I don't redo it at 50. Do enhancement sets level with you, or do they stay at the level they were crafted? - For example, if you craft a 30-50 set, do you have to recraft it at 50 to increase its stats? Only 'attuned' enhancements level up with you. You can attune any IO you craft using a catalyst (after it's slotted). You can BUY attuned IO's off the Auction House. Also, the archetype sets are attuned automatically. What happens if you outlevel a set? If a set is 10-25, what happens at level 26? Nothing. It works exactly the same no matter what your level is. (Except that the effectiveness is reduced if you exemp down to a lower level.)

And you can use all of this information together by creating a long command that will attempt to access a whole list of bases - for each server I play on - and only the correct one will function. It would look like this: f3 "enterbasefrompasscode VF-5738$$enterbasefrompasscode COSMICTRANSPORT-6608$$enterbasefrompasscode Enclave-687$$enterbasefrompasscode TORCHCS-5949"

Needs more rhyme. How about - If you're not dying, you're not trying.

You know you can turn most of those effects off in the costume creator, right? There's only one bio armor where you can't suppress the effects and it's only on you during the click animation anyway (Ablative Carapace, I think?).

We sent them to a nice farm in upstate New York. They'll be happy there.

'Full' varies from one character to the next. My level 6 MM has 105 slots. My main has 200.

Easy enough to check in the opposite direction. I have Ironblade on every shard. I just logged in and my ping was 240 on Reunion and 130 on Torchbearer. I'm in the northeast U.S. Having said that, I've gotten Ironblade to incarnate levels on Reunion and never noticed any performance issues.

Garbage. Browse the auction house until you find sets where there are hundreds and hundreds for sale and hardly anyone buying. Typical suspects are sleep, slow, confuse. I buy hundreds of yellow recipes. I can get them for a few thousands and the salvage to craft them costs maybe 1800 inf. Convert outside the set for one converter, until you get either something valuable (for example, Karma -KNB is a yellow item) or end up in a valuable category (defense, resist, range damage) then convert within the category. This works for me since I'm not targeting any niche. I'm playing converter roulette until something good comes up. P.S. I still work for converters, per my previous post, despite having over 40,000 stockpiled. When my main starts to approach the cap (10,000 on one character - I do a lot of task forces and hami raids), I spend 1,000 on converters and give them to a marketing character. I still work the market, despite having almost 10 billion inf, because I find it entertaining in small doses.

Signature Story arcs, but you need multiple characters. Each part of the arcs allows you one free pick of 4x merits at the end - ONCE - then it has a one week timer before you can pick that reward again. The normal reward is 5 merits so the 4x reward is 20. And when I say it allows one 'free' pick, it works like this. If you run the arc on a character that has never run it, you can take the 4x reward. You can then run it IMMEDIATELY on the same character and take that reward again - THEN you have the one week timer FOR THAT CHARACTER. My scrappers and stalkers can run part 1 of arc 1 in under 6-1/2 minutes for 20 merits. My slower characters (tanks, controllers, defenders) take 8-11 minutes. So we're talking 60 merits in under half an hour - under 20 minutes if you're actually trying. Whenever I run an arc, I log the time in a spreadsheet so I can see when that character is eligible to run it again. Also worth mentioning, one of the reward choices in 10 threads (if you're eligible to earn threads). Each reward option has a separate timer so you can take the 4x merits and run it immediately to take the 10 threads. So, with 44 characters above level 10, I can run the arc as often as I can stand. 🙂 Another option - hear me out - is the Dr Quaterfield task force under certain conditions. Notably, it is EASY to solo. Normally, it gives 122 merits. When it is the weekly, it gives 244. I have 3 accounts. I log in all three to start, solo it on my main, then log in all three accounts for the final mission and get 3 x 244 = 732 merits. I'm leisurely about it and take a lunch break so it takes me 4-5 hours. If I actually used the other accounts, who have all the mission transporters, team transporters, etc, I could reduce that time dramatically.

ooo, themed names. So many ideas: Necrotic Flea, Electric Flea, Sonic Flea, Robotic Flea . . .

Wake up, people! The internet is becoming self-aware and those periods are when it got distracted by cat videos!
