Active Accolade Powers - 5 of these, how to get (BIAS)

[Purrfekshawn]

Lemme remind the guide link for the passive ones: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/4233-accolade-guide-4-passive-bonuses/

 

Probably you're wondering about remaining ones, there's 5 of these. Thus l decided to put a guide that could lMO provide pretty fast way to get these. This is much biased, especially in terms of Geese of the Kind Ones, but for someone l believe it might be useful

 

EYE OF THE MAGUS / DEMONIC AURA - solid +DEF and +RES boost for all but PSI.

Get this one on Villains

First hunt Circle of Thorns hordelings in Echo: Faultline, about the middle of the map. They are very low level, thus must fall from first splash. Then do all required exploration and plaques, starting with Grandville, then moving to Sharkhead Isle (use Base Transporter/Supergroup Portal), Mercy Island, Port Oakes and finally Cap Au Diable. After this go ouroboros and offer soul of Akarist - difficulty -1x1. Move to entrance of first using Mission Transporter, then run to end of map, defeat Akarist, then use Team Transporter for 2nd mission, use just a glowie there.

Demonic aura popped. Don't forget to switch sides by Null the Gull to get hero side power (Eye of the Magus), because it has 0.67s activation time, as opposed to 3.00s on Demonic Aura, although for some concepts Demonic Aura could look better (it's a pity it's not tintable). Eye of the Magus looks more theme neutral as well.

Usually takes 15-20 minutes to get it from the 0 CoT kills.

 

CREY FREEZE RAYGUN / STOLEN IMMOBILIZER RAY - damage and Immobilize effect.

Get this one on Heroes

Only if you really wish, because it's one of the weakest accolades, if not the weakest one. Hunt Crey Paragon adds on Eden location, there's like 2 of 3 of them almost each stack, and they're pretty squishy. Do required # of their frags, then exploration and a really short Ouroboros mission -1x1. The gun will be yours (both of them if u switch side). It's tintable and customizable as well, really bad that it can fire only once per 10 minutes, which is VERY hilarious (maybe gonna be rewamped @future, because it's a joke now)!

Usually takes a bit more than 30 minutes to get it from the 0 Paragon Crey add kills.

 

VANGUARD MEDAL / MEGALOMANIAC - mez boost.

Get this one on Heroes

This one is not quite useful, especially on characters with few-to-no mez powers, but might be a bit helpful for Controllers and Dominators, as well as certain VEAT, and few other combos. First switch side to red, go to Monster Island (take Submarine from Port Oakes far East). Hunt Rikti Monkeys there, their stacks must fall from a nuke or 1-2 other splashes, until the badge. Then switch sides to blue, goto Boomtown, then go Sewer Network (yuck) and use Reveal power there. Run around upper side of the map, looking for the Lost add packs, most of them have just 1 leader (boss add with bare chest), but some 2 or 3 of these. Splash the packs until the badge (very low level, so must fall instantly), then only Exploration left - Founders Falls plaque, then Peregrine lsland remote lsland from yellow Tunnel Portal. To Ouroboros's Rikti War Zone echo, there's badge for standing on statue arm, at last 2 plaques on Crey's Folly and 2 on Eden. After that the mez boost power shall be yours! This mez is not customizable and uses same visual on both sides.

Usually takes about 40 minutes to get it from 0 all add frags.

 

GEESE OF THE KIND ONES / FORCE OF NATURE - solid +REC +RECH +TOHIT and some -DEF.

Get this one on Villains

The way to get this badge is a bit biased, as the team of 8 players would probably do better bestin' Croatian adds to 333 of each, but for soloing this might get a bit faster in some situations, especially if your character cannot or struggles really hard with soloing the same AV 10 times (each 3 times the nasty witch becomes +1 level stronger, has devilisly annoying hurricane and infinite knockbacks) from Katie Hannon TF, which also requires to be unlocked with story arc on ouroboros. Also there well might be Giant Monsters absent for indefinite time. Finally DaGawstez do not appear at daytime (only 21:00 to 5:00 /citytime).

So Force of Nature. First act of of the Marlezon Ballet. l believe you've already done 25 hero "kills" from unlocking Invader passive accolade. So first We're going to Lord Schweinzer (Port Oakes). If your character has superspeed, take Peregrine Island rob, otherwise Founders Falls rob. If it suggests you take faraway submarine to Founders Falls, drop the mission and take again until the lord suggest nearest sub.

@Founder Falls mayhem map go right, and defeat Devouring Earth, but not nearest, but one is located behind the house. It will suggest an Arson mission. Commit that then go Parking for car frags, and destroy items - Payphones (cyan), Mailboxes (blue,) Newstands (yellow) and Hydrants (red). There's about 4 blues, 4 yellows, 5 reds and 5+ cyans on the map along the way, the final Newstand can be found right at the other side of Bank Building entrance. l prefer moving along the border of the map clockwise. When u finished blastin go bank and blast the Door, but do not take Moolah, type "/leaveteam" instead. Track Most Recent badges, stop hitting cars once u get Impounder and inanimates once u get Vandal. Impounder must pop on about 4th run of the rob, Vandal on 7th. 10 runs total requested, but if Firebug didn't fire due to certain bug, may have to repeat arson 1-2 time. @Peregrine Island mayhem map blast the Kinves located right in front of you for Arson. There's 5+ items of each color as well. Of course this all must be on -1x1 difficulty.

Second act of the Marlezon Ballet. Go Ouroboros and take 50-th level mission "Light and Darkness" - 2nd from the Top. Burn through 2 first these missions -1x1, then setup team size of 8 at 3rd. At start of the map summon your pets, Backup Radio, Signature Summon - Ranged Damage, and get crazy on Longbow but do not defeat sunstorm. Instead dismiss all the pets and logout and back in. About 250-300 longbow per instance run. Repeat until 1000. Then take the Ouroboros mission "Indigo Hunt" - there are PPD adds, do on diff -1x8 as well, switch off Bosses of course too, summon Backup, Scirocco, and get crazy on Police. After several runs u'll get 1000 police too and get the precious Power.

Geese of the Kind Ones or Force of Nature might be reilly helpful, on toons especially if they're runnin out of energy once in a sunny day, to use these kind (or not too kind) geese in order to refill your blue bar in these situations. Geese and Force of Nature have the same visual and are not customizable.

Usually takes about 2 hours, maybe a bit less, depending on your character layout. Advised for the character to be T4 incarnate and temporary DEF/OFF/SURV boosts from P2W wouldn't be excessive too.

 

ELUSIVE MIND - some Psionic +DEF and +RES.

Get this one on Whatever

First have to solo The Lady Grey's Task Force, which is not an easy task even on -1x1, because of non-revolsterable Archvillains. From my observation any lllusion/??? Controller does that the best, because untouchable entities taunt AVs, also Psi Damage penetrates Honoree's defensive. Hamidon Main core shoots even through lllusion Decoy untouchable, however, which is really weird. Blast hamidon, then you have to wait for big online before launching final The Lady Grey's Task Force mission. When online is high, do the Final Mission! After Honoree and items are blasted, the Rikti event will begin IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE IN YOUR CHAT TAB HERO/VILLAIN/PRAETORIAN ZONE (ALL OF THESE) EVENT MESSAGES ENABLED!!! As the raid could happen aywhea, except maybe Praetoria.

Switching your alt to the one that needs the Powah, and go hunt kill Rikti. Chat LFG and Broadcast about the Rikti Raid on this or that Zone.

This may take uncertain time to get, as well as have luck Rikti Raid popped on Heroside area, as there's bigger chance for more players and as a result enough Assault Suits to get the badge. The Lady Grey's Task Force is not necessary to be soloed, but taking enough players and then accomplishing may require even more time than soloing the TF, if it's not the WST, especailly if you're playing at the time when online is low. The Elusive Mind power is the same on Heroes and Villains.

 

Feedback is appreciated, but l repeat again this all is the BIAS.

A tiny update regarding to Villain (1000 Longbow) badge, it's possible to AFK farm it on Mecry Island - very north of area surrounded by walls - use a toon with Fold Space and damaging auras (e.g. Firefarmer), team up, take some ouroboros arc of lvl 50, then Auto Cast Fold Space on certain area. The longbow kamikazes there respawn really quick, so in less than a hour of AFK'ing 1000 Longbow frags on a toon that need the Geese will be yours. Thus you may actually consider plopping theese Geese on most if not all of your alts.

 

It's REILLY pity that the PPD you can defeat at the one of Incarnate missions (Dark Astoria arc that can be taken @Ouroboros), do NOT count for PPD frags, otherwise that mission would be easier as the player gets +3 level shift there (assuming the player has proper Destiny/Lore).

You are using some idiosyncratic slang that makes this hard to follow. A guide should use standard terms:
Geas of the Kind Ones

DaGawstez: Ghosts

Marlezon Ballet: I don't even know what you mean

 

Note that Lord Schweinzer is an unlockable contact. Some villains may be limited to running whatever mayhem mission is available at their level.

Le ballet de la Merlaison - a french performance that is known for its longitude, and is composed of about 16 acts total, this can be said about any of prolonged performances.

l somehow assume that the character a player wants to make an Accolade for is already level 50, most likely +1 level shifted due to the Alpha.
