I dump a LOT of recipes into the system, all at 5 inf (since that's the minimum Wentworth cost and it's one thing to give recipes away and another to subsidize them!) and I'm amazed at how many DON'T SELL. It's probably less than 5%, but still...

My fire/fire/pyre is, by far, my best farming toon. Very quick and very powerful. Levels up other toons much faster than other farmers. But, it is an ACTIVE farmer and requires a fair amount of finesse not to faceplant repeatedly. If you are interested in the details, see these posts: Pyropocolypse PyroPROColypse

My Storm/ice/ice defender is a monster. Not as good as my fire/fire/pyre blaster, but not too far off. I solo +4/+8 content without trouble (I do have amplifiers running to help with being mezzed). it’s been so long that I don’t remember how it was to level him, but now he solos very well.

I saw that too, but I decided that someone had put in a large number of bids for 1 million not realizing ( or not caring) they could get it for half that much.

Ha! Made me realise that I'll spend hours sitting here reading threads, but if I have to wait 5 minutes to get the IO I want it irks me...

Yes. You can click these as fast as you want. No need to wait for the cards to flip.

I've been on many TFs where things are going poorly until I pull out the team insps. Better yet, I have an almost unending supply since they are stored in Email/Character Items.

I agree, although they are a bit less liquid. So dumping a large number on the market can either tank the price or take a much longer time to sell than converters.

While I agree with the math, I think you are missing a big variable: Time. I just sold 5,000 reward merits worth of converters and it was a LOT of clicks and a lot of time. I usually don't mind clicking a lot, but this was enough that I got to thinking that the clicks weren't worth the extra influence I received. Oh... I'll probably keep swapping merits for converters and selling them for 70K even though I don't need the extra money, but I TOTALLY sympathize with anyone who decides to just buy PVP recipes instead.

I didn't realise that! Thank you @Piecemeal! Well done!

The mere MENTION of Luck Charms on Live fills me with dread. Wow... were those things manipulated! One of the things I distinctly disliked about Live. Given that player numbers aren't as large as they were back on Live, I think the changes the GMs made to the market make a lot of sense and have worked really well. On the one hand, anyone who spends a few minutes reading the forum can make lots of inf very quickly, on the other, few prices are crazy high and supply is reasonable. That's much more balanced than I'd expect given the average number of players. Not that there aren't issues, but overall it seems to work pretty well.

Whoever wrote the Doc. Buzzsaw arc has my respect! [NPC] Sgt. Yorkshire: This is the LAST TIME I cover a shift for Russell. A PUN convention? Is that even a thing? He's going to owe me for this one. Later... [NPC] Agent Tavish Bell: I can't afford another demotion. [NPC] Agent Tavish Bell: I... can't go back... to customer service. And a bit later still.... [NPC] Dr. Alexander: Nothing can go right for me this year. [NPC] Dr. Alexander: Sometimes I wish I had just followed Dad's advice and taken welding.

Another Classic from Doc' Buzzsaw's missions:

One of us!

I created a character on Torchbearer just to check it out. Wow! Very cool. It must have taken a lot of work. I must admit it's not like the inside of the Tardis I remember, but I was a fan back in the 80's, so no doubt it's not even close to the same. Keep making cool stuff!

I love this entire paragraph. It's totally true! I, too, make these mistakes all the time.

I'm very fond of my storm/ice. In TFs I wait for everyone to choose a direction and then I clear the opposite path. I do have tough and weave plus maneuvers but even at +3 with tough and weave off (this guy is a huge end hog) I rarely encounter issues. The three rain powers + tornado + hurricane keep things so chaotic they almost don't have time to target me. I'm not saying this is the best combo, just that it's my favorite.

I just started selling my Winter-Os in bulk. I went a little (ok... a LOT) nuts this winter. I spent all my considerable fortune buying and opening winter packs. Then I sold every scrap of inventory and bought winter packs. Then I pulled the enhancements out of some of my alts an bought yet more winter packs. I even took all the reward merits and brainstorm items I got from opening those packs, made sellable items, sold the items and bought yet more packs. What I didn't sell too many of was the Winter-O. Until now...

I refunded him as well (with some extra). I appreciated his willingness to ask on the forums and I love the game so much I want everyone to have a great experience so we'll keep players!

Two days. Very little work. Over 250,000,000. It's a get rich quick scheme that works!

I was a bit bored today so, while doing other things, I started buying, crafting, converting and selling enhancements. I'd done a lot of this a year back and made a very nice fortune, but got bored. Anyway, I crafted 75 or 100. I was a bit disappointed to log in later and note that 49 still hadn't sold. But, then I noticed that I'd made a little over 93 million already on what had sold. Once you count the cost of the converters (which I had from opening so many packs), I still netted a good 75 million or so for not much work. And they are only half sold! I had forgotten what easy money this is.

I remember when they added the change to leveling so that it not only buffed you extremely, but revived you if you had face planted. It's still one of my favorite add ons. And, I agree that it's a bit disappointing to hit a level right at the end of the mission, but that just reminds me of how great it is to even have that level change!

I thought the Windfall power was nerfed and really doesn't do anything anymore. Is that incorrect? In testing I see no difference in inf gain.

6 slotted hover (before ED) was amazing. Faster than fly, a bit of defense thrown in but with none of the minuses of fly (I think to accuracy...). Only downside was 5 wasted slots.

I've now got my staff/regen scrapper up to lvl 50 veteran lvl 6. Alpha, judgement and interface slotted. I'll concur with what others have said, it stands up well to most things, but is a little clicky, it is important to "pre-heal" as animation times make healing in combat a bit frustrating at times and you can be doing great and then suddenly drop dead. Still, while it's possible other scrapper builds are more durable, I'm fighting +3/X8 Arachnos and doing fine. It's not a cakewalk, but I survive most battles very much intact. Again, I'm not comparing one sort of scrapper to another, I'm just saying that I find regen to be fun to play.
