    Thanks, I knew there was more of a difference but wasn't sure what it was.

    In and Out Burger is very good. Five Guys is better IMO, so is Culver's. Steak and Shake is about equal. We have three of the four in Chicago, so I have all the refined burger joints I need.
    I've never tried Five Guys or Culver's (first I've heard of them), but unless the S&S in Indianapolis really sucks, it's no where near as good. In my opinion, of course. I eat there every year during GenCon.

    Actually, I don't think they do. I've never tried ordering it like that because I don't think the different tastes go together.

    There's even an article about it on BaconToday.com

    Basically just a chocolate donut. Not a white donut like Krispy Kreme's are.

    Yes, when said KK opened, I picked up a dozen and they gave me one right off the line while I was waiting. Good, but to me, no way addictive. It's still a plain frosted donut.

    All this talk of food, I think I'm going to head over to In and Out and grab me some lunch .

    It's like Krispy Kreme. Some people don't think it's all that special (like me). Some people will line up around the block for it.

    A Krispy Kreme opened up next to the In and Out that used to be the closest to me (about 10 miles away). Nobody lined up and the place closed down after about a year. Myself, I can't wrap my head around the idea of a donut shop that didn't sell devil's food donuts.

    Nice and Conga Rats.

    I've grown up with In and Out, living near store number 2 for the first half of my life. Until about 6 months ago, I had to drive 10 miles to get to one and during traffic time that meant 40-50 minutes round trip.

    I do like that the newest one that opened near me is number 247, I just wish they were open 24/7.

    part 2 is not the weekly target, so no extra rewards is expected
    "Dam Hero" is Part two. Part one is "Rule of Three"

  9. Do you have tool tips turned on? Options->General Options->Miscellaneous Options
  10. Also, what did you set your difficulty to? Are you fighting +3s or +4s?

    It appears all the judgment stuff is done, but yeah, it looks like you're right about the rest.
  13. The Paragon wiki page on incarnate abilities should have the data you need.
  14. Pretty much just show up or send a tell. No secret password necessary.

    It's 2.5 million, not 20 million.

    IO confusion

    Lot of math on that page, but the tl;dr version is this point:

    * Level 32 is a key breakpoint. If you are 33 or higher, you can Exemplar as low as 32 with no penalties no matter how big the drop is. If you are 32 or higher and you Exemplar below 32, your penalties will be the same no matter how high you were to begin with.

    There is one assumption you're making here that's incorrect. It's not the new or inexperienced people who are buying your stuff. It's the vets who have more money than they know what to do with and have no reservation about dropping a million on what would normally be a cheap recipe or piece of salvage. As Adeon Hawkwood just said, Time is Money and many people would rather get back to playing quickly.

    Nope, it's old and it's listed. The actual title is Stop the production of Council robots and retrieve some parts for analysis. The mission objective is Stop Prototype A-12 and its guards.

    Just four? Compared to me, that's a good track record. I've made that mistake more times than I can count, including more than once on the same task force!

    Even lower, from what I've heard.

    Prestige/Recipes

    Are they set recipes or generic IO recipes? If they're generics, sell them to a vendor. When you need that type again, you can buy them on the market for less than what you sold them to the vendor for, though that may take a bit of patience and planning and require you to bid a day or two before you want to use them.

    As an example, lvl 50 generic damage recipes sell to the vendor for 116,100 infl. The last 5 sales on the market are 70k*1 and 75k*4.
  22. There's a some missions shared between contacts with different origins, but not many. For example, both Collin Larson (a tech origin) and Christine Lansdale (Natural origin) both have the "Get over to Speilman's warehouse…" mission.

    Additionally, it's possible to get two contacts with the same origin at the same level range through mayhem/safeguard missions. It doesn't happen often, but I've seen it happen.

    Just to be clear, you did check under the Contact Menu->Tip mission tab?

    Quote:
    so where do these so call tips drop. Don't say off any level 20+ because I couldn't have got to 50 without killing something over 20.
    Sorry, that's what I'm going to say. I kill level 20-25 in Talos daily for my tip missions. It usually takes me less than 5 minutes of slaughter to get 3 tips, the maximum of regular tips you can hold at a time.

    Quote:
    Per say I got to 50 doing AE farms
    While I'm not completely sure, I don't believe that tips drop off of AE missions. I could be wrong though.

    Quote:
    and most of the TFs, I've done the ITF & LGTF 100s of times. I I've done more BAF/LAMB that I can stand.
    Then you must have tips if you've done these even a fraction of that amount. Again, check under the tip mission tab.

    Edit: Here's a visual aid.
