While I'm in Paragon...

[Generator]

Hey there,

 

So I've got a rogue character on whom I'm starting to get more serious about badging.  I'm in the process of going around the figurative horn, doing tip missions, changing to each alignment, staying there for its requisite week.

 

Is there a list anywhere of badges that can only be acquired as a hero?  I ask because I clearly have two of them at the top of my "Closest to Completion" tracker (Task Force Commander, and the one for Day-Jobbing the Shadow Shard), and I figure I should get those all knocked out while I'm in the Hero/Vigilante side of the spectrum.

 

Thanks,

Generator

The Homecoming wiki does not a clean list of hero vs villain badges. This exists, but there is a lot of overlap between the lists.

https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Badges

 

As for day jobs, there are four I see that are blue side specific, City Hall, Trains, Stores, and Shadow Shard.

For all of these badges, you can earn credit as a villain/rogue, but the badge will only award if you're a hero:

 

POWER ACCOLADES

 

(Note: If you have the villain equivalent listed in parentheses, you'll get the hero version without having to meet its normal requirements.)

 

Task Force Commander (Invader)

Received the Atlas Medallion (Marshal)

Portal Jockey (Born in Battle)

Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member (High Pain Threshold)

Archmage (Demonic)

Conspiracy Theorist (Headline Stealer)

Geas of the Kind Ones (Force of Nature)

Vanguard (Megalomaniac)

 

DAY JOBS

 

City Official (City Hall)

Commuter (train stations)

Dimensional Explorer (Shadow Shard)

Intern (Portal Corp)

Law Enforcer (police stations)

Shop Keeper (stores)

 

And accolades requiring one of the above:

Entrepreneur (Shop Keeper + Day Trader)

Police Chief (City Official + Law Enforcer)

Scientist (Professor + Intern)

Security Chief (Law Enforcer + Banker)

Traveler (Commuter + Dimensional Explorer)

 

LEVELING GLADIATORS

 

Assuming you're at least level 30, you'll get all of these as soon as you switch.

 

Nebula Elite Buckshot (level 10)

Button Man Gunner (level 20)

Fire Thorn Caster (level 30)

 

ARCHITECT

Heroic (complete a mission of heroic alignment)

 

EXPLORATION

Multidimensional (Hydra Dimension missions)

 

DEFEATS

Isolator (100 Contaminated; the only way to work on this as a villain/rogue is to pop the one in the RV train station 100 times. I... wouldn't do it that way if I had another choice)

 

There's also some that can only be done/are much easier to do as a hero/vigilante. I'll throw that list together in a little bit.

Thanks so much!  Take your time on the second list, I've got a full-enough dance card.  🙂

 

So if I change over to Hero, and do The Pilgrim's arc in Flashback, it'll send me to the Villain version instead of the Hero one?

 

Thanks again,

As a hero/vigilante, you'll get the Outbreak version and can do Isolator that way. (It occurs to me that a rogue could maybe join a hero/vigilante running the mission and rack up credit for Isolator so they get the badge when they switch. I'm not sure.) But Contaminated only spawn in Outbreak (starting heroes only), that one mission (usually only accessible to heroes/vigilantes), and RV (the dev troll option).

@Generator, don't forget that there are also all the Hero/Vigilante story arc badges you can get through Ouro -- including the Vigilante-specific arcs that award different badges for taking the different options.

Badge missions/arcs. Some of these you might be able to join others doing, but it's easier if you can do it yourself.

 

Pt 1 (Lvls 1-29)

 

Spoiler

 

Errata: Reason to Fight is 21.04.

 

Pt 2 (lvls 30-50)

 

Spoiler

 

 

Dimensional Warder: Dominatrix and Infernal can only be fought in missions from Maria Jenkins. The A Hero's Hero and A Hero's Epic arcs required for other badges contain both.

 

You can only enter RV from your home side, so to fight the Arachnos AVs there you'll have to go hero/vigilante:

Arachnophobic (Recluse)
Poltergeist (Ghost Widow)
Sandblasted (Scirocco)
Shark Hunter (Mako)
Wrangler (Black Scorpion)
Justiciar (all five)

 

These badges related to the alignement system require you to become, or be, a hero or vigilante. They should be obvious, but I'm listing them here for completeness:

Heard the Call - Maintain hero alignment for 7 days
Fearsome - Maintain vigilante alignment for 7 days
Streetwise - Complete vigilante alignment mission
Above the Law - Complete vigilante morality mission (can also get by switching to Vigilante via Null)
Ascended - Switch from red (villain/rogue) to blue (hero/vigilante)
Descended - Switch from blue to red
Come Full Circle - Get both Ascended and Descended

go to echo zones from Oro to get the zone badges.  Should be about 9 per zone at the least.

For a list of Hero only badges - consider this site: 
https://n15g.github.io/badger/homecoming

On this site, there are options to seek (and check off as completed if you wish) badges by alignment, accomplishment, Achievement, Accolades, History, Exploration, etc. 

You can track one character, or as many as you like. Well, at least 12. That's how many I was tracking at one time. I've have since come to my senses and took 7 off the list.

Hey that's what I've been using for the past few years.
