    It's really hard to get gold without 'assistance'.
    Inertial Reduction makes the badges much easier since it does exactly what the name says - reducing your inertia and making you more maneuverable.

    So can afterburner

    I generally use a "buddy system" in the Arena for things like Hold/Stun Badges, and Gladiator matches for the Heal.  Available at any level, rather than only with Incarnate crap.

     

    You don't need to be an incarnate to farm out the badges. Back in the day I had a tank that I kept at level one and farmed out the damage badges. He ran around at level one with the Immortal badge title.   Hold badges can be farmed out with any enemy that can hold you without defeating you, i just find sappers to be the best but mileage varies.  A rad corr of mine back in the day, at level one it could heal others so I turned off xp and had a level 1 empath titled character running around after awhile.

     

    With XP turned off at level 1 you could in theory farm up the money badges.....though for that you may want to door sit in non ae farms

    I've been trying to find this contact and mission in Ouroboros but I can't seem to find it under Hero or Villain. 

     

    Does anyone know what her arc is under? I've looked through them all with no luck. Is it there or am I just being blind?

     

    Story arc is called Through the Looking Glass in the 20-29 range as I recall

     

    Offers the Singular Vision badge

    Have there been any posts on good afk methods to farm badges like Immortal, Empath, Jailed, Cataclysmic?

    For the hold badges, I just get a malta mission and stand in front of a sapper after clearing the rest of the room.

    Do not go into rest mode as that can sometimes be lethal, but rather use /selectbuild 2 and switch to an unslotted build to remove your defenses and io buffs.

  5. Also about 12 to 15 hours in the arena with the 3 longbow wardens doing their heals and as many of the lost cost gladiators that you can bring in will get you the heal badges

    I've been using a +4 CoT Guide in a flashback mission to hit me while in Rest for Immortal farming.  Wonder if there was a better mob to farm off on my /regen Brute badger.

    If you dont have someone with a healer that wants to work healing badges at the same time, then no. I use a +4 CoT guide also

    For Cataclysmic, gather all of the AVs in Mender Ramiel's first mission, and toss an AoE on them about every 23 seconds.  You have 3 extra Incarnate powers, one of which adds a massive DoT to all of your damaging attacks.  They should heal fully up between each shot.  You'll probably need some sort of automation program to attack on schedule.  If you don't have that, you could put a 90+ second recharge power that does damage on auto (nuke or damaging AoE hold).  The Incarnate powers also give you +400% recharge or something like that, so any short recharge AoE will fire much too often.

    I found that setting the mission to +4 and using contrl+click to set ion judgement to auto to be the best

    As an additional note on this, activate Rest before letting the Sappers start holding you. This will negate any defenses you may have, as well as reducing your resistances to stuns and sleep. This will pretty much guarantee that the Sappers will keep you perma-held, even if you have a bunch of passives and set bonuses.

     

    Sometimes when using rest mode with the sappers you can be defeated.  The better way to negate your defenses is to use the command /selectbuild 2 or /selectbuild 3

    Sounds a lot like Unveiler for 100 Fake Nemesis, just takes a long time to even find that many. And of course Nemesis only spawn a few places with Fake Nemesis as a Possible member of a spawn. Good Luck on the CoT, some of these Badges are just intended to be difficult to obtain.

    Dark Watcher and Black Scorpion offer some nice missions for farming Nemesis.

     

    As to the incarnate CoT and other enemies at that level i street sweeped Dark Astoria.

  10. That's good to hear but as an FYI, if you just log out at the tunnel that takes you out of First Ward the DJ job will accumulate time even if the icon isn't there. 

     

    As I think back to the first era of CoH, the icon was a bit buggy. Possibly due to the other specific DJ locations in that zone.

  11. Well my Tequila crashes half way through the download of whatever its downloading. I have an exception for it and the entire coh folder in my AV....unless malwarebytes is somehow flagging it but I don't think so as it never sends an alert.

     

    So now I have to launch tequila and quickly double click homecoming before the crash and if it time it right CoH launches.

     

    So what else can be done?

    I don't have Pither as a contact.  According to Paragon Wiki, the only contact that will introduce us is Arbiter Daos. 

     

    The problem is, I've finished Daos's second arc, after which he will not speak to you anymore.  He never offered up Pither as a contact.

     

    Any ideas on how to get the Efficiency Expert badge missions?

    Here is a thread about Pither

    Weston Phipps's missions were the only ones that I started deliberately failing, because I felt filthy completing them, even with my villains.

    I hated taking down civilians in the mayhem missions

  14. Also I think perhaps the Lore of the game needs to advance another notch.

     

    The last advances were the restoration of Recluse's girlfriend in the Valentine Event, then the demise of Miss Liberty (she was retired but still...), Statesman and Sister Psyche, and the apparent permanent dispersal of the power of Zeus. Penelope Yin steps up to replace Sister Psyche.....but,

     

    The balance of power is shifted greatly in Arachnos' favor, should Recluse decide to go on the warpath.

     

    Perhaps it is time for the Honoree to be cleansed and HERO 1 to arise once again.  In the cape unlock mission the Rikti seem determined to steal the letter left behind by Hero 1 from the time capsule......why? Are they afraid that if the Honoree sees it, that Hero 1 may rally from within and cleanse himself of their corruptive influence?

     

    When you seek to unlock your Alpha Slot, Hero 1 is fighting within the Honoree.  Also when you join the Midnight Club you work out a cure to turn the Lost back into humans, and Ms Liberty carries Excalibur which was given  to her by Hero 1 even though she cannot use it.

     

    A combination of that letter, the Lost cure, and Excalibur may be just what we need to get HERO 1 back, and restore the balance of power.

  15. Why change anything?  The game is a snapshot or time capsule of 2012.  

     

    I'd rather see some of the early blue side missions, circa issue 1 to 6, get an overhaul and tightened up a bit in their design. Retire the originals to Ouroborus.

     

    Synapse TF also gets retired to Ouro after a new and improved version is made.

     

    Numina TF: must we hit every zone and wipe out mobs in each one until the final missions are available?

     

    DR Q Taskforce: 3 of my alts spun through it this week as it is the weekly TF and those 200+ merits are great for obtaining components needed for them.  However that TF is only worth running when its the weekly as  about 5 missions are essentially cut/paste repeats of previous missions in it.   The last few are same map, different zone, similar objective on each one.  Trim that TF down in size by getting rid of the repetitive/redundant missions. Retire the original to Ouroborus. 

     

    Now granted with Team Mission Transporter, Personal mission transporter+assemble team or incandesence, and flight you can speed things up but still the DR Q TF needs and overhaul.  Just like they did long ago with the Sharkhead/Leviathan SF.

     

    Also some of the i24 missions need a minor debugging here and there. Nothing game breaking just fix a few small errors.

  16. Okay 1507 now.  Reviewed my character with latest copy of the tracker sheet.  Turned out I was missing one of the virtual badges from the AE so that was a quick fix.

    458/458 explore

    25/25 history

    180/180 Accomp.

    177/179 Achievement - known the one that I needed for awhile, but also I see listed the Bailout Hero badge which appears to be for doing the Dream Doctor mission to complete the Dillemma Diabolique Trial....but I did both the mission and the trial some time ago and got the other badges from them both.  Ran Dream Doc's personal mission again, this badge did not reward. Paragonwiki states it was never added prior to shutdown. So is it in the game, and do I need to run another Diabolique trial then Dream Doc personal mission again? Also was this badge a recent addition?

    132/133 Accolades: Well the Flames of Promethus was long ago obtained and redeemed, the only other one missing is the elusive Bug-Hunter,

    72/74 Gladiator badges: the missing 2 cannot be obtained until Winter Event. No big deal, those will be bing, bang boom for me to get.

    32/33 Vet badges, shut down XP some time ago at level 98.9, wanted to save 99 for last...may reconsider that.

    44/44 PVP badges

    51/51 invention

    120/120 defeat

    67/81 Event badges: any winter badge from candy canes has been obtained now, all Halloween badges easily regained plus a couple of others. Waiting on Winter/Spring events AND The Nemesis Invasion Event.

    77/77 Ouroborus

    16/16 Consignment

    29/33 Dayjobs, will wrap those by end of October and good riddance to them

    28/28 AE, still surprised I was missing one. Go fig.

     

    So looks like 1532 total in game badges at this time.  Currently at 1507 + 4 DJ +1 Vet +1 the one achievement badge =1513 + the apparently in game Bailout Hero = 1514 possible at this time.

    Lately, I've begun to realize that my pursuit of ALL day job badges for all of my characters is getting increasingly difficult.  Mainly, for my lower level characters who have to venture into zones that are so far above their current level, that getting spotted, and taking even one attack is fatal.  The ones that have fly have it a little easier.  The Super Jump crowd, less so.  Then there is the fact that some zones are difficult, or impossible to even get into, before a toon is above a certain level. 

     

    I am going for it in most cases, but it has not been without it's casualties along the way, and I know that some of them will have to advance a few more levels before they can acquire certain badges.  But, the challenge is making the pursuit all the more rewarding when I hear that "ding" of a Day Job badge, in a place where this toon has no business being at this stage in their career.

    Well the only day jobs that are "level locked" would be the PVP zones as you have to be a certain level to enter bloody bay, but once you enter any PVP zone just park near the entrance and you get teh badge in 100 hrs.

     

    Vanguard: park in the vanguard base and in 100 hrs you have a full meter that will ding the badge after you train to 35

     

    Cimerora: have to be 35 to enter that zone, can't be avoided. This is the one day job that is truly level locked as you can't enter Cimerora with out being L35 and a member of the midnighters

     

    Midnight Club: use portal in Atlas to go to Night Ward, the area you appear in is safe, go into the Midnight mansion, receive a map badge, the midnighter badge if you didn't run the arc to get it, and park in there  or else now you can go to the midnight club via Steel Canyon if you are a lowbie and park in there.

     

    Ouroborus: go to Echo Galaxy City, use the train to enter Ouroborus if you can't use/don't have the portal. Grab the map badge there and then park.

     

    First Ward: Base teleporter will put you in the graveyard there where you can work the Mortician Dayjob.  After that go work the 4 dayjobs in that zone.

     

    If your lowbie has the jump jet pack that once was awarded along with the Pocket D VIP badge, then go to Peregrine and if you can't fly use the jump back to hyper jump through Peregrine.  Head to the water and you can take a scenic swim to the arena, after that Dayjob use the jump pack to get to the police station there for that DJ. After that use the jump pack to help get to portal corp.  Once in there take the portal to Firebase zulu as that DJ should give a jet pack with about an hour of fuel ( i think), then portal back into portal corp and park in that room for the Intern DJ.    Doing this gets you the Police station, Firebase and Portal corp DJ's which are blueside only.

     

    As long as you have a jetpack with about an hour of fuel, presuming you didn't take flight at level 4 when the pool powers open, (can always respec out of it later), with some judicious use of the jet pack you can fly above the danger spots and park somewhere safe. 

     

    Mercy Island: you can work the arachnos base,  pilot, and ferry Day jobs.  After that, take the ferry to Nerva and either jump pack/jump or fly to the crey building and get inside it, whoever once inside you cannot just park at the door you have to move into the office to say near the desk or doors in there and then park for that DJ.  After that Ferry boat to Grandvile,  take some steps off teh boat and docks to that big grandville wall in front of you and log out. After that go pack to Port Oakes and get to the building where redsiders have to register their super groups and park in there.  After that you have all 6 of the redside only Dayjobs.

     

    Atlas Park:  a bit of a honey pot for Dayjobs:  log out in city hall for a blueside only, the trainstation for another blueside only, the tailor, SG base portal,  hospital, police station for another blueside only,  Auction house,  then there is a vault, and Atlas is an entrance to the vanguard base.   Atlas also has the portal to get to Night Ward and First Ward.

     

    Pocket D: has its own DJ, the bank/vault, and teh hospital DJ...however parking at the arena controls does not seem to provide the arena badge.  Peregrine or Port oakes for that.

     

    Echo Dark Astoria,: SG teleporter puts you there and basically that entire zone lets you work the mortician badge.  The spot you appear in is usually safe so jsut log out there. After 100 hours, if you cant travel out or teleport out, take the "debt express" by getting pounded on and then hitting the hospital.  That will put you near the exit portal.

     

    Dark Astoria: base teleporter puts you near the base portal entrance so walk away from it or else you will not get credit for parking in DA. Go to the wall near the zone entrance from the base portal and then log, that area is safe.

     

    I have a level 1 MM that I plan to rebuild but right now he's just sitting at level 1 working the DJ's both blue red.

     

    However here is a screenie of another Level 1 of mine that is missing only PVP and Cimerora. he also doesn't have the 6 red side only ones as I don't plan to switch his alignment.

    Let me just say this: I appreciated the accuracy of the Batman reference. Even with the screenshot, not knowing the WEB like I should, it took some time to find it, even knowing the loc. I'd get 2 out of 3 of the xyz close to correct, but was always off. Finally found it. 

    Thats why I left the map open. 🙂

  19. Found them all and screen shot them all.  Also regarding the description "underground near a crate wtih council insignia", to quote Blight from Batman Beyond "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?" 🙂
