After doing several arcs on my brute today & getting my 3 merits for each i have reached a conclusion. The Dev's are nuts. Assume i did 67 arcs, which is what it would take to get 1 high end reciepe at 200 merits. I think its absolutly absurd. I guess if you want to actualy accumulate any amount of merits you will have to farm TF's non stop. Forget about running a team & doing someone elses arc, your screwing yourself out of the limited amount of arcs u have avalaible to yourself. Unless you want to go back & do the arcs by going back in time. Merits, what a joke.
