Not sure I understand your confusion here. ALL your characters from now to death of the game have all the Vanguard costume pieces, so you never ever have to buy one again. Different characters that you have don't have different ones unlocked. Characters you haven't even made have them all unlocked.

(Note that I'm not saying the devs should not take the costume items out of the purchasable list. It would be much less cluttered to have them removed. But there should no longer even be a reason to go into that sub-tab in the first place.)

In this case, Paragonwiki is wrong too. http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Hero_Accolade_Powers

I tend not to get accolades until my characters are pushing 50 anyways, so I can't say otherwise from experience. All I know, is that when the devs first removed level limits on Hazard Zones, they put locks on the accolades that required entry, similar to the one that won't let you earn the Vanguard Recruit Day Job badge until 35. I remember that the progression bar hint mentioned the unlock level. Given the Hazard Zone level removal was some time ago, it is entirely possible they removed those locks without my noticing.

Well, I'm not sure how much a year's worth of soap is going to be, that depends on the quality and location.....

As far as the game's subscription goes, a year's sub is $143.40, equal to $11.95 a month.

You should be able to see it on the list even if you don't have the merits for it, assuming you haven't bought it. Just be sure the toggle for (something like) "Only purchaseable items" is off. It's on a drop-up/down on the lower right of the purchase window.

No, your first merit is still valid. You can just make one purchase per 20 hours, whether that purchase is 1 merit, 2 merits, 30 merits or more. So you can buy two one merit purchases on two consecutive days while working on your third merit. If you save your first two merits until you have your third, you can make a two merit purchase one day, and have to wait until the next day to spend that third merit. Once you have a merit, you keep it and it is good as long as you don't change alignment.

As Soul_Stormer said, there's no purchases between 2 and 30 merits. So by stockpiling them intentionally instead of spending as you earn them, you are delaying how quickly you can buy things.

FYI, the Cardiac comes with Damage Resistance, not Damage. Would have thought it a typo, except for making the same mistake twice.

Actually, the Prestige Sprints set the precedent if I'm understanding the situation correctly, that this is a separate power from Ninja Run, and not an animation choice. My understanding of the difficulties with pool customization is that of knowing which of the powers are in the players build and an associated UI. (I suppose they could just put ALL the pool powers as customizible, similar to how they did Primary/Secondary powers, but then your costume file would be big, causing some lag in crowded areas (Ship/hami raids))

To clarify this: In the same list of optional debuffs is a drop-down menu allowing you to set a timer for 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. The mission you are using the timer for will not fail if the timer runs out, but you get a big red Challenge Failed across your screen if the timer hits zero. You may be able to use this feature to artificially set a timer on just about any mission you like, and just hit "Quit Task Force" in your team window if you fail.

If what you are looking for is a mission that comes with a mission failure timer of 30:00 or less, the only missions that immediately come to mind are Efficiency Expert Pither's missions, which are not Ouroborous accessible. Most timed missions have 90 minutes to 2 hours on them I believe.

You could try the Paragon Wiki for a list of timed missions, but I don't know how to find it there.

The Pit is the big strip mine in Sharkhead Isle. As the name implies, it is a very deep pit.

I ought to look this up (but don't feel like it, correct me if I'm wrong), but I believe the Eye of Horus is the name of the ship which caused the oil spill. Probably the same one you found, as I don't know of more than one spill. (Again, correct me if I'm wrong.)

One problem with your numbers Master: you aren't getting 14% of your base recovery boosted, but 14% of the increase to base recovery given by Stamina, which is around .42 end/sec. So that 14% is giving you an additional .06 end/sec. Compared to the .20 for the proc, I'd pick the proc, unreliable as it may be.

The Clockwork pet will spontaneously do animations if you stand around long enough. Maybe the Mekman too, I don't remember. I'm pretty sure the others don't though. No attack/snowball animations.
