Wow you guys are awesome help. i really appreciate all the advice and finger pointing to where i can find this stuff out.
Server:Freedom
Character:Viason
Global Handle:StormChill_1 (i think)
Anyone needs a favor or help with anything feel free to whisper. -
Quote:Awesome! thats a good idea. So it seems like the biggest time constraint is going to be me learning which recipies and materials are cheaper then the final product for profit. i have about 1.5 mil inf so far. Should i shoot for lvl 50 rec or does it not really even matter. Would you recomend i do this with lower lvl rec and build up my infamy then start dealing with the lvl 50 ones? Only bother with unique ones...which are orange?Originally Posted by crayhal
In addition to doing tips, (if you have Going Rogue), I suggest spending a bit of time crafting and selling on the market to build up a bit of cash.
Example:
1) 5 mins to check the market for crafted items that regularly sells. I usually look in Endurance Modification, Healing and To Hit Buffs. Let's assume that Eff Adaptor: EndMod sells for 5 mil.
2) Check the corresponding recipe for the items. Let's assume that Eff Adaptor EndMod recipe lv 50 sells for 200k. Salvage for it will cost about 100k.
3) Buy recipe + salvage for 300k. Craft cost of 500k.
4) List crafted Eff Adaptor on market for 4 mil.
5) If it sells for 4 mil, your profit is 4 mil - 800k - 400k = 2.8 mil.
If it sells for 5 mil, your profit is 5 mil - 800k - 500k = 3.7 mil.
You have about 10 market slots, so if you are selling 10 crafted IOs for 5 mil each and all of them sell, you would've made 2.8 x 10 = 20.8 mil (or 3.7 x 10 = 37 mil with a 5 mil sell price).
It takes me about 10 mins to gather recipes and craft them. I try to keep recipe and salvage costs under 1 mil and target at least a 2 mil difference between cost and list price.
The caveat is that you have to wait for your stuff to sell. For me, it usually takes a day or two, but can be as short as 10 mins. It really depends on the number of people buying stuff.
You can do this with any toon, btw. The only requirement is a bit of inf to buy recipes, salvage and crafting. For some tips on building initial capital, check out the Market forums.
I admit that I do run AE from time to time on my Elec/Shield brute whenever a friend wants a few levels, for prestige or to kill time while waiting for someone. However, I prefer not to farm.
thanks for the info, thats good stuff -
Awesome! thank you guys so much for the info. This really helps out getting back into the game.

Wow thats some very helpful information about the Merits! thanks so much.
One question about merits...whats an easy way to get some? When i played the game many years ago i was a casual player in every sense. I never really payed attention to what any of it does. Are the merits only good for the exchange? or can you get good recipies for inventions somewhere? Do the vendors differ at all?
Also i was apart of a ghostyard run or something in sharkhead isles and i got a special merit for it. Whats to be done with these?
There prolly is a thread on all of this so feel free to just link me if its to much trouble.
I appreciate all the help, it makes it very welcoming and easy for returning players like me to pick it back up and stay with it. -
One last dumb question...
The tip mish's...i read the FAQ and it says they drop off all non critter 20+ mobs...but what exactly drops and how do you identify that you have one? -

Tickets are a great way to get good stuff (bronze rolls, for the love of god bronze rolls). That is, good stuff you sell and then have plenty of money for purples. Not to mention on a fire farm in AE ss/fire, on just SOs, is a demi-god.
-
So basically Farm tip mish's which if i remember right you can only do 5 a day that you get credit for. Sell the stuff i get from it that, or save it if its something i need.
Also im a returning player and i know you get merits from doing special tasks and such. Are there certain ones to look out for? Where exactly do i go for the merits i get. i see the merit vendors, but will any do for the good stuff?
thanks a bunch for the tips to guys -
Well this is the character im trying to build
http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=249669
i checked all the sets on the Black market and everything is really expensive. So you can get alot of recipies for this stuff by doing Tip mish's? -
Ive also never used SD. is the charge an AOE?
-
ok cool! that makes alot of sense
i dont really want the character for anything other then income and salvage farming. so im not trying to invest a bunch into his powers by getting sets and such right now. I will most likely go with SS/Fire. This should be effective using Single origins slots? -
So ive always heard that Brutes can farm and collect resources better and faster then all other AT. Im trying to build my dominator and slot him out but i could use a better farm character.
I was thinking Super Str and Will or Inv. im looking for something that can be powerful and effective for farming mish's solo or with one other while using IO's. i see a hundred different build guides on the front page and i frankly dont want to try the different builds out to find what works.
What say the forums? -
Wow thanks!
Couple questions, how important to the build is it to have combat jumping and super jump? i currently am using fly and hover and would like to stay with it unless there is a reason that the other is a better fit.
Enhancement levels...My friend recommends doing lvl 25 ones because if you slot for lvl 50 and you drop below that in a group the slots become useless.
Thanks for the help!
-
oh and im lvl 25 currently.

Ok i have been a long time COH and Cov player, but its always been casual play. So in turn i never really delved into builds and sets and such. Well fast forward 5 years. me and some friends have found interest in the game and are planning builds etc.
i assume go for sets that create a permadom situation. I want to know what people are recomending for these power sets now a days. im not familiar with all short names or anything so as long as i can auto complete whatever in the black market so i can do research i should be fine.
i want to aim towards control rather than damage if that matters at all.
Any recomendations for sets and things would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
