You should bug that, it seems like that's not how it should be working and there were other procs that didn't work correctly that have been fixed over the years once the subject was brought up to the right people.

Sure, everything was fine until YOU brought it up....

You know, I REALLY hate the way that Melees get all that Protection and my squishies don't!!!

Bob has 154 Gum balls and he's only level 5?!? Twink!

I haven't made base items in a LONG time. For clarification, is the Crafting fee paid for with Prestige?

As a matter of fact, I have!

This is what I use for my Emp:
And for the player targeting, this is my keybind file to use the Numberpad numbers for Team targeting:
So to Absorb Pain on my teammate in the 4th team slot, I hit the Numberpad 4 key, then the 2 key on the top bar or click the menu item.

As with with any other random chance, the only way to increase your rewards over time is to increase the number of chances you have to gain that reward.

If there is a 1 in 3000 chance for something to drop (which I've heard before in reference to purple drop rates), the only feasible long-term way to increase how many you get it to defeat those 3000 enemies quicker.

Running a farm on -1, x8 will definitely get you the most number of chances in the least amount of time. Most likely, LTs and Bosses provide a higher chance of a purple recipe than minions but I haven't seen anynone post hard numbers to prove it. Odds are they'd have to have data from many tens of thousands of combats to really get a good dataset.

On the other side, if you're looking for money, +3 minions give you a lot more INF than a -1 minion does and depending on your build and other factors, might take relatively less time to gain the same amount of rewards after you factor in the multiplicative increase in rewards. In other words, if it takes you 1.5 times as long to kill a +2 as it does to kill a -1 but it gets you 2 times as much reward, you're better off in the long run with the +2. Unless you really want to maximize the number of non-Inf reward drops.

I'll try to get hard numbers tonight and see what it really turns out to be.

All base items, rooms and plots can be "sold back" for a 1:1 prestige cost when deleted. You never "spend" Prestige in base items, you just kind of tie it to the room/item/plot that you place. If you delete it, you get back the same amount as you "spent" on it.

The only real way Prestige truly goes away is from upkeep costs and that is now minimal.

Put in whatever you can afford now, you can always upgrade it later by adding the new larger room, moving all your storage items to it and delete the old small room.

Odds are you're looking at outdated PIGG files. The game is referencing data contained in the PIGG files (proprietary archive file format for COH) in a manner that doesn't correspond with the data that is in there so it is showing the wrong objects.

A full verification from the NCSoft launcher might fix it or else you could try deleting all PIGG files and running the updater again.

Both times I've had my email "reset" and lost items, I didn't have to give them a list. I just asked them to fix it and they pulled the logs and gave me my stuff back. As an added bonus, they didn't even ask what I did with the stuff I had already previously used that magically re-appeared in my mailbox when it "reset".

What's the current ratio for a level 50 in SG mode for defeating minions? 200:1? I'll have to check.

The number of ARCs doesn't matter at all, you can have as many active contacts/arcs as you want.

You can only have seven active MISSIONS at any one time. Just complete one of your active missions but do NOT start the next mission from the contact and you'll be able to start Ramiel's arc.

For the most part, there's not too many sets that are huge sellers. One quick way is to look at the Set Bonuses. Does the set give 5% or more Recharge Rate enhancement? Does it give 2.5% or more Defense (either typed or positional)? If they do, and it's from a Heal, Hold, Melee, AOE, or Defense set then it will probably sell well. Generally any recipe that gives 4 Enhancement types (Acc,Dam,End,Rech,etc.) will be worth selling as well.

Most of the Mez sets (Sleep, Confuse, Stun, Hold) are fairly low-value at auction, except for the Basilisk's Gaze Hold set since it has 7.5% recharge for 4 parts of the set.

Of course there's other ones that don't fit this mold but there's always exceptions. Both Miracle and Numina's Heal recipes sell well since it's often desirable to have at least 5 of the 6 recipes of the set. Same with Luck of the Gambler recipes that match up with the LOTG +7.5% Global Recharge recipe. Also the travel power recipes with the +Stealth procs.

Crafting before selling is situational. Many times you get a much larger return by crafting it (especially the recipes that only need White and Yellow salvage) before selling it. There's people out there that are willing to pay double or triple costs or sometimes even more if they don't have to scrounge and collect salvage then craft it themselves. If you have to spend 3M Inf on a rare salvage though, that may negate the returns you may receive.
