The lower-level recipes (which require those salvage) are cheaper to craft, then you can attune them and/or sell them on the AH. I don't necessarily object to the suggestion as an option, but you'll find use for those drops if you care to.

That's exactly as designed. https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Veteran_Levels You'll get Empyrean Merits every 3rd level through VL 99. Incarnate Threads through VL 11 when you're not getting Empyrean Merits. Otherwise, threads come only as drops and Incarnate rewards.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I miss Trixie leading us, but I'm glad to hear she's doing better.

Sounds good! Sure, plague doctor was a medical professional of the time!

Here are themes for June: 7 Jun - “Darkstalkers” - Soul of the Woodsman (Numina, Level 35-40) - Shapeshifters (two costumes with different face/body types, start with one and switch to the second as we enter Eden; e.g., one vaguely human and one Monstrous) 14 Jun - “Rise and Fall” - Cavern of Transcendence (Karsis, Level 12-15, leader needs unlock) - Angels and devils costumes 21 Jun - “Sportsball” - Tree of Thorns Respec #2 (Trepsarciel, Level 34-43) - Any AT/powers, sports uniforms (I may be out of town.) 28 Jun - “Who’s Posi gonna call?” - Positron 1+2 (Level 8+) - Ghostbusters costumes; Beam Rifle, Energy, or Radiation powers

I may have been a little vague there. "Appropriate costumes" was meant to refer to "Professional-Grade", so something akin to the medical or biological professions. Even a business suit or a "field research" costume would be appropriate. Signups for 31 May - “Mutate This!” - The Kheldian War (Moonfire, Level 23-28) - Professional-Grade Gene Alterations with Radiation/Radioactive, Bio/Nature, Poison powersets; appropriate costumes. @FrauleinMental Cranberry Doctor - Rad/Rad Corruptor @Midnyte Gamma Dancer - Staff/Rad Brute @TygerDarkstorm Botanical Pathogen - Plant/Poison Controller @Burnt Umber Marcor - Rad/Bio Brute @Bananiac Lethal Leaves - Rad/Nature Corruptor

Here's next week's theme: 24 May - “Lite Brite” - The Sky is Falling (Admiral Sutter, Level 20-40) - Spectrum Body type (other costume elements are fine, but the spectral body should be visible). Everyone picks a different color. Any AT/powers. I'll be on the road next week, so someone else should do the signup and lead.

Signups for 17 May - “Rikti Infiltration” - The Lady Grey TF (Lady Grey, Level 45-50 35-50) - Rikti costumes with matching weapon-based powerset @FrauleinMental I'Konn Redd - Dual Pistols / Mental Manipulation Blaster @Burnt Umber Sideros - Beam Rifle/Invul. Sent. @Purple Enchantress Fire Cauldron - Axe/Fire Armor Brute @Midnyte Wylde Lotus - Katana/SR Scrapper @Glacier Peak Bone Saw - Dark Armor / Battle Axe Tanker @Bananiac Elvish Impersonator - Ill/Time Controller (I just realized LGTF's minimum level is 45, not 35.)

Also, see the events of Who Will Die?, Episode 6 (Specialist Greer, 40-50).

Since no one has signed up for this week, Abandoned Sewer Trial is tough if you go in light, and I know at least a couple of our regulars can't make it (but were interested in the theme), let's postpone the theme a week (to the other side of 4 May). I'll modify the month as follows: 3 May - Cancelled “May the Fourth be with You!” - Abandoned Sewer Trial (Mairenn MacGregor, Level 38-50) - Star Wars costumes (Jedi/Sith), appropriate AT/powers (a lot of powers could qualify). Get your time capsules and shop for Anniversary stuff from Luna!

Perfect. That's kinda what I meant by this. On Live, I recall the default was the first character name was your global unless you changed it, but maybe on HC it's a little less set in stone.

Sign-ups for 26 Apr - “Anniversary Celebration!” (24 Apr is HC’s 6th anniversary and 28 Apr is COH’s 21st) - The Crystal of Seraphina (Ice Mistral, Level 35-40) - Bring your global-named character in your original costume! (Typically, that would be the first character you rolled, in the costume that character started with.) @FrauleinMental @Burnt Umber Hostia Usta - Fire/Dark Corr @TygerDarkstorm Apocolyptica - Demons/Storm MM @Purple Enchantress Purple Enchantress - Dark/Dark Blaster @Midnyte Midnyte - Dark/WP Brute
