Ironblade

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!

psh, you name it. I made a joke character named Toggle Man based on a piece someone wrote on the old forums. He runs 17 toggles in combat, four of which inflict damage. His only other attacks are Lunge, Boxing and Jump Kick. He's fully tier 4 incarnate at this point. On the other hand, I asked around to find out the best AT and powersets for advanced difficulty runs of ITF and Aeon and went with ice/cold corr. He's also fully tier 4. Bargain basement build? An invuln tank for under 30 million inf who has over 350% regen. A build based on just a name? Sure. Lord Footloose - soldier of Arachnos wearing a white suit and always dancing. Fidgety Girl - barista caught in explosion of an experimental espresso machine. Taiga Tigress - were-smilodon with ice attacks. Every one of them has Task Force Commander from doing the signature task forces. I run the weeklies anywhere from 1 to 12 or more times per week (depending on which it is).

I would recommend doing the tutorial once. I did it when it first came out and it's pretty clear. And you generally learn better by DOING, than by reading.

I have it set that way on every character. I can't be bothered with an extra pop-up. What's the worst that can happen? I die in a game? Big deal. Also, it hasn't happened yet. As for when I use it, two situations: 1) I'm leading. 2) Requested by or pre-arranged with the leader.

You only need to run at the 1-star level for the badges. One star really isn't much of a step up in difficulty. And I see people running the Aeon SF a lot since you can get many more Aether at the 4-star level by running the optional Vanguard battle. I've been on a few of these with two of my corrs.

Manny would be happy to sell. He hasn't seen a customer in ages.

24,300 and something the last time I checked (last week).

Cricket bats.

Rather than answer your question, let me ask - why would you want trillions of inf? What would you do with it?
