    ... You... didn't read any of my posts, did you?

    Alright, one last question- a friend of mine sent me a link awhile ago, and I never got around to reading the entire thing, but the jist of it seemed to suggest that getting level 50 IOs wasn't necessary, and that one could get nearly the same effect with level 30 IOs, with the added benefit being that you could exemplar much lower.

    If anybody could point me to that link (I can't seem to find the thread in my history), that'd be awesome, but is that really true?

    Okay. Now I gotta plot out a schedule, because now this seems more possible than I'd initially considered it.

    I came to a decision- I decided to play the market a little bit, as per some suggestions from both the responses here as well as from a few friends. I wasn't prepared for how often Rare salvage dropped, either- it's alot more frequent than I remember it dropping.

    But another thing I decided on was running Tip missions. I have 19 character slots, and 10 of them are currently devoted towards Heroes. I'm well aware of the fact that I can't transfer hero merits between toons, but if I remember correctly, that doesn't extend towards the rewards one can purchase with them- like rare recipes.

    This also kinda helps me with rotating characters around in such a way that I get frequent play time with the ones I built, so it's not like I'm neglecting any of them for weeks on end, and I rarely get bored (-you- try switching your mindset between a BS/SD Scrapper and a Trick Arrow/Archery Defender, then to a Plant/Rad Controller, then to a Dark/Psy Dominator!).

    Thanks for the input here, it really came in handy. ^_^

    Eventually, I do want to get VIP back so I can do Incarnate material, but am I right in assessing so far that, even for Incarnate material, I don't need all that much?

    I should elaborate by saying that I'm a bit of a casual player (I play other games), enough so that I'm not sure if I'm willing (or able) to sink the time and effort necessary to reach top potential.

    Although the more I think about it, I'm probably pulling my hair out less over how to play the game and more over something I probably don't need.

    Also, that's one thing I never got. You gain access to Wentworth's/Black Market before you gain access to IOs-I'm not quite sure I understand why you would gain access to a feature that's only really useful if you've unlocked another feature on a higher tier.

    Although I suppose that's assuming that IO licenses weren't purchasable off Paragon Market, which of course they are...

    I've access to the Alignment system, yes. And once again, I have yet to actually purchase an IO set. I think the most I ever did was build common IOs for my level 50.

    As far as making money, I got lucky once or twice and got rare recipes that I didn't need and ended up selling, but the only real advice I got from SG members was to run AE missions for tickets, then purchase random silver recipes, then sell those recipes.

    I've been playing the game for years now, and I'm almost ashamed to say that in the 3+ years I've sunk into this game, I've never had a single IO set, nor have I ever had the access to funds to purchase them. I've only managed to ever get one character to 50, and the last time I played him he was still slotted with SOs (even though he had Incarnate abilities unlocked).

    I'm now playing a Broadsword/Shield Defense Scrapper on Freedom, and I'm not sure I'm doing the damage I could be doing even with just SOs. I recently unlocked permanent IO access, but I'm still sticking with SOs out of caution. I have about 300 million Influence, but I don't dare purchase anything for fear that I might end up wasting my money on a system that I feel I don't completely understand yet. I'm not part of any SG at the moment, and the few times I -was- involved in an SG, they were groups that didn't offer much in the way of help.

    I guess, in short, I want to know what kind of options I might have, as far as if I can dabble in IOs, if I should stick with SOs ftm, or if I should attempt to build my coffers before committing to a decision.
