reward merits

[Frosty15]

What is best way to get reward merits? Farm TF's?  buy super packs?

[lemming]

After awhile, they just start piling up from multiple sources.

 

One way is to take part in the Hami raids.  Those are usually done twice (for 80+40 reward merits, or 4 E merits, or a Hami-O) , sometimes triple.  And normally multiple times a day on at least Everlasting and Excel.

 

TFs, especially weekly.

The Vahzilok Pollutant Plot flashback give 35 merits for 4 door missions which I think is the fastest to solo (about an hour if you're lazy about it) and the least annoying and accessible at a low level. Set level to -1, run it twice, Grab Luck of the Gambler(+recharge) and sell on AH for a quick 5mil.

If you have a stable of strong 50s and some good macros you can triple box solo Tin Mage tf when it is the WST for 240 merits every 15 minutes.

I just play the game, haven't had to worry over Inf or merits for years now.

I get most of mine through super packs.

For me, the funnest way to get merits by fighting in game is hunting Giant Monsters.

But, honestly, if I'm going to buy something with merits, it is with merits that I gained through card packs.

Wait, wut?

As near as I can tell, the "baseline" level of acceptable-to-devs direct rate of merits-per-unit-time for solo-play averages to approximately one merit-per-minute.

 

There are ways to do "better" than this via conversion of other rewards, multi-boxing, alting against the daily/weekly timers, joining late to certain events, etc.

 

I think the simplest way to accumulate merits with almost no special effort is to repeat the "Who Will Die #1" arc ad nauseum blue side, solo at x1. The first time is for 20 merits, the first repeat during a week is another 20. It takes less than 7 minutes (I've cracked 5 mins several times for full-kits) to do for at-level 20 characters (i.e. "not a level 50"), and is 5 merits each time.

Better be good L50 builds and very good at Triple Boxing because Apex and Tin Mage II TFs are locked at +4 (the only reason they've kept those Reward Merit returns).  Have fun!  😺

80 merits per character, 240 total.

The only items that are probably worth using merits to buy and then sell on the AH are some of the winter pieces. Buying that LotG for 50 merits and selling it for 5 million inf is leaving millions of inf on the table compared to just getting 3 converters per merit and selling them at 50k each (which iirc is on the low side).

 

TL;DR: the exact numbers will vary with AH price changes but generally any enhancement that costs less than 20 million inf on the AH is not worth buying directly with merits.
