For newcomers: Where to find helpful information!

[Noob1]

(If someone wants to this might be a good addition to Getting Started as a third post. If this needs cleaning up feel free.)

 

If you are new to game or have forgotten things after ohhhhh SEVEN YEARS!, this short and sweet post will show you how to find information about in game things, like missions, powersets, Badges, Merit system, and character creation, where to post questions to name a few things.

 

#1 The first thing that helps is to know the link to the wiki

The wiki: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

So MUCH information. Use the search box in the upper-left corner of the page.

For eample type in powerset and click search.

It brings up links to descriptions of  all the different powers in the game. (Some of the latest things may not have been added.) Also you can search for names of contacts in the game, story arcs, Badges you can earn, and Merits. Merits can be earned by doing special activities and can be traded in for really good Enhancements which you can slot into your powers to improve them.

 

#2 The is the COH forums: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php

There are different topic areas and you can post questions and people will repost replys works like old message boards.

You can probably even find builds posted and people talking about em.

Here is a video on really how to use it. video is from before COH came back online but 90% this should be more than good enough to get you using the tool.
