That doesn't seem accurate. If I buy a garbage recipe (anything selling under 10,000 inf), craft it, and use converters to turn it into an enhancement worth 2 million, have I not created wealth? I took ingredients worth 600K or 700K and turned the value into 2 million. If I then price the enhancement low enough that it sells instantly, have I not shared that wealth by allowing someone to buy something they want at a lower price than they would have been able to otherwise? I actually do this, which is why this example immediately sprang to mind.

Well, to me, the phrase "recent weeks" would seem to line up with the Halloween event. Every enemy you defeat (that isn't grey to you) has a chance to drop a purple. And Peregrine Island on every shard has a non-stop Trick or Treat farm going where enemies are being killed non-stop at a prodigious rate. I would think that is boosting the supply in the short term.

Really?? How can you just post that picture instead of an actual video. I mean, a guy with a mohawk playing Thunderstruck on flaming bagpipes. When you look up the world 'awesome' in the dictionary, it has this guy.

Ah, now it's all clear. That was a Hard Mode task force. Compared to that, Master runs are (typically) much easier. Most characters should expect to die repeatedly on a PUG hard mode run, which is what this sounds like. With people who play together often and have discussed what character each person is bringing, you can do the hard mode runs with just a handful of deaths. I've done 1 and 2 star runs with less than 10 deaths and I was on a 4 star run where I died about 8 or 9 times and the entire team had 30-something deaths.

Because you can't. Every team leader can pass the team star to someone on their team and the league leader can pass the league star. You can't promote a person to team leader unless they're on your team. So you have to communicate to someone on the team to promote someone. You need to identify who should get promoted (and move them to that team, if necessary). Then you probably need to send tells and often GO TO ALL CAPS to get their attention. Frequently, they are oblivious and you need to follow KaizenSoze's advice - which doesn't work if the league is full. Exactly what I had to do. Luckily I wasn't running the ToT league in prime-time so it fluctuated between four and five teams so I always had slots open to shuffle people around.

That's not my recollection. Maybe there were some vocal complainers, but my impression was that most badgers didn't care because the PvP badges weren't as stupidly grindy as, for example, the healing and damage taken badges. I had all the PvP badges back on live and I have them all on Homecoming. Also, while the PvP zones weren't the ghost towns that they are today, they were NEVER busy zones.

Yomo did post, but in another thread.

Well, you can sort of get one of those now. When you meet any of the conditions to unlock Cimerora, it becomes available as one of the destinations when you are exiting Ouroboros.

Some people (myself included) find running task forces to be more FUN. This is a game, so fun is my primary metric. Of course, I can have fun efficiently. Occasionally, when the Dr Q TF is the weekly, I'll solo it - with 3 accounts logged in. So that's 744 merits for me. Also, diminishing returns is not relevant unless you only have 1 or 2 characters. I'll certainly agree with you that task forces are not the best way to earn inf; not even close. Some people farm for fun and relaxation, and some people hate farming. Some people enjoy marketeering and some hate it and/or can't be bothered to learn it. Task forces are an OPTION. Personally: I find farming boring; I enjoy marketeering (and that's where a lot of my inf comes from); I enjoy running task forces (and have over 40,000 rewards merits lying around).

I thought about this and concluded that, if I really want those extra Aether, I could just turn off XP so they won't level during the ToT carnage.

So you probably haven't seen the related changes. There's also a whole bunch for the hero and villain epic AT's that Ieft out. Level Availability Changes Primary Sets (non-Epic ATs) Tier 8 powers moved from level 26 to level 22 Tier 9 powers moved from level 32 to level 26 Secondary Sets (non-Epic ATs) Tier 2 powers moved from level 2 to level 1 (character creation) Tier 7 powers moved from level 28 to level 24 Tier 8 powers moved from level 35 to level 28 Tier 9 powers moved from level 38 to level 30 Epic Pools Tier 3 powers moved from level 41 to level 38

I have seen several people express the opinion that the current market conditions are anomalous and are caused by people moving away from AE farming to Trick or Treat farming - which drops hardly any salvage or recipes but can quickly get you 10 Prismatic Aether. If their conclusions are accurate, wait about two weeks and things should start moving back toward 'normal'.

Yeah, sometimes they get shuffled in the display order after an update. They might be on the 2nd or 3rd page. Or the 80th, so Astralock's step 3 is an easier way to find them.

I don't think Defender would be a good choice unless perhaps you're talking about TEAM damage, but then set bonuses would not be applicable. My character most focused on damage is a beam rifle / kinetics corrupter specifically created for the Magisterium iTrial. He only has 13% damage from set bonuses (plus Assault) because his priority was recharge in order to be able to spam Fulcrum Shift - that's where his real damage comes from.

Actually, no. The entire concept of Freedom of Speech only means the government can not restrict your speech or take action against you for it. This forum is privately run. The mods can delete or edit your post in any way they see fit and neither you nor anyone else can do anything about it.

Ooo, that is a good idea. I didn't think of that, even though I noticed it auto-filled the name when I was sending a Transcendent Merit.

Exactly. This is City of Schrodinger - simultaneously too easy and too hard.

To avoid this in the future (I know, it doesn't help now), many people suggest sending yourself an email with no attachment and confirm that it arrives. Then, leave it in your mailbox and when you need to send to yourself, REPLY to that email since you know the global name is correct. And yes, 4 million is small potatoes to many. DM me your global name and I'll send you 4 million. 🙂

I'm reminded of that scene in Futurama: "Bureaucrat Hermes, you are TECHNICALLY correct - which is the best kind of correct." Anyway, go nuts with the Luck of the Gambler (up to five). The only way to have too much recharge is if you don't have the END to support it - and you can build for that.

There are Nemesis arcs in Ouroboros, such as Nemesis Weather Control and Nemesis Rex (which are badge arcs) and a long arc called The Eternal Nemesis. These should all be in (or near) the 40-44 range since they are from Maxwell Christopher and that's his level range. This is blue side. What srmalloy is referring to is a Signature Story Arc. Heldenjaeger is a contact in Steel Canyon and you can teleport to it (yes, "it" - it's a Nemesis Jaeger) using the story arc tab in the LFG window. There's also a red side contact, but I've never used that one. Heldenjaeger is the contact for part 5 of the 'Pandora's Box' signature arc and it's worth doing the whole thing for the story.

Absolutely. My brother has titanium frames, bamboo frames and other types from Zenni. Their glasses are really very nice. However, I'll also point out that they CAN be extremely inexpensive. I have a simple prescription and, to check their quality and the accuracy of the prescription, I bought the cheapest glasses they sold in order to leave a spare pair in my girlfriends car in case I didn't bring mine and need to drive her car. The prescription was exact (as far as my eyes can tell). They look dopey and don't fit very well but they were *** $12 DELIVERED *** and are absolutely fine to sit in her car if I should need them.

Well, @Yomo Kimyata said, "I can tell you exactly what's going on in rare salvage, and it has nothing to do with a shadowy cabal manipulating prices. Well mostly nothing." We're still waiting for elaboration.

ParagonWiki refers to the game as it existed a decade ago. Much of the information (although perhaps not on those two pages) is out of date (i.e. wrong). Much better to link to the Homecoming Wiki, which is updated on an ongoing basis. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Invention_Salvage https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Invention_Salvage_Tiers

I don't like referring to the game as CoX, because there's only one way to pronounce that.

You should be writing poetry.
