 tldr:

 

1) Level to level 2 and take your new power.

2) Go to the P2W vendor, get jump pack and run power. NO XP BOOSTERS.

3) Run Matthew Habashy arc. (3 Merits)

4) Run Sondra Costel arc. (3 Merits)

5) Run Aaron Thiery arc. (3 Merits)

6) Get the 8 Exploration badges (5 Merits)

7) Convert your 14 Merits to 42 Enhancement Converters.

😎 Sell converters for 60,000 each: 2.5 million PROFIT!

 

 

If you're starting a new character and don't have millions of "seed money from your main character, there's a quick and easy way to get up to 2.5 million influence without ever leaving Atlas Park.

 

After spawning in, the first thing to do is kill enough Hellions hanging around  Atlas Plaza to get to level 2 and get your second primary power.

 

Go around the left corner of the platform to the P2W vendor (she's the second NPC.) Grab your free damage enchancements and a "run" power (ninja, beast, or Athletic.) This gives you powerful jumping abilities when sprinting. Pick up a Jet Pack or Steam Jump while you're here. We will need it later. DO NOT get any XP multipliers! We don't want to outlevel our three contacts here.

 

Mission Contact Matthew Habashy is right past the P2W vendor. Run his quick story arc for 3 Reward Merits.

 

He will introduce you to Sandra Costel. This is another quick story arc that earns you another 3 Merits.

 

NOTE: YOU NEED TO TURN OFF XP WHEN YOU HIT LEVEL 6. You don't want to run the chance of outleveling the third contact:

 

 

Aaron Thiery is our last contact, and the third one to award us 3 Merits. After you finish his arc, turn XP back on and load up on XP boosters at the P2W lady. 

 

Lastly, we're going to get the eight Exploration Badges here in AP. This will give us another 5 Merits, for a total of 14. This is fast and fun. The link has all the locations. I start at City Hall. Grab the two inside, the one on top of City Hall, and the one on the Atlas globe. Head to the Base portal behind City Hall, where there's another badge in front of an NPC. That's five already. Then south to the Vanguard HQ, where there's a badge to the left upstairs. 

 

All that is left is using the Jump Pack to get the last two badges, which are on ledges on two buildings near the north wall. 

 

Now, we cash in! First, go to the NPC near Ms. Liberty after you level up. Sell all the enhancements you've looted and all the white Salvage pieces. This gives us enough inf to pay auction seller's fees.

 

We go to Wentworth's and use the Merit ATM to the right as you enter, You want to exchange your 14 Merits for 42 Enhancement Converters. (They look like this: Enhancement Converter.) These sell from 60,000 to 65,000 each. Sometimes up to 70,000. 42 x 60,000 is 2.5 million, minus seller's fees.

 

Now you're a millionaire, and you've never left the starter zone! If you've been lucky enough to loot orange salvage, this is another few million in your pocket.

The badges has the perk of unlocking the long range teleporter accolade, which is *extremely* useful. From then on, any zone in which you pick up an exploration badge will get you instant teleport access. Since I learned how easy this is I never leave Atlas Park without it. Everything else is optional, I think. If people haven't learned to roll DFB into Posi 1 and 2, they will very naturally be pulled towards running contacts. Just knowing that boosters, converters, and unslotters can all be competitive options to spend merits on is enough to keep them going. However, there is also value in demonstrating that a level 6 can earn 2.5 million, which is ample influence to build common IOs when the time comes.

Sell your big inspirations on the auction house. Some of them go for upwards of 50 thousand. You can get them from the P2W Inner Inspiration free power.
