Hi, I'm VVolf, and I'm a badge-aholic.
At the time of this posting I'm level 20 and have over 70 badges, not counting the SG badges...

For now I'm just posting the zone anyone level 20 can get easily, as a stalker I've rumaged other zones for location badges already...
Also not bothering to list Gladiators, you get the other badges, you'll get them.

Two different Privateer badges (plus the Sky Raiders one from CoH), or is one of these incorrect?

Alright this will be one of the stupidest questions asked yet...I've been away from the game awhile, how do I locate the reference points? If a badge is at -1223 etc, how do I get to that waypoint? Apologies for the idiocy, and many thanks for the big list of badges.

there is a /loc command (I think you can set it in options menu) that will give you the X, Y , and Z co-ordinates.

These are both correct, in fact there seems to be a number of badges with double names... There's a Media Junkie location badge in Cap Au Diable and there seems to be Media Junkie Mission Badge later in the game... It may be posible these will all be neded for an accolade, but that's pure speculation at this point.

Any chance we'll see the Sharkshead Isle badges again? I've forgotten where most of 'em were.

Are there any "defeat X many in Breakout" badges for CoV?

This has a pretty easy answer go to www.vidiotmaps.com. They have the new CoH/CoV badges for all the zones. So far they are 99.9% right. Except a Plaque that's in Port Oakes I believe by the ship, that I never found. That should help ya with the badge hunting problem. Just search around in there. You'll find interactive maps that will tell you what the badge is and the coordinates of it's location. I have fly so it's pretty easy to steer clear of the baddies till the time comes to actually get the badge.

As for the Hunting badge post; Yes there are hunting badges in CoV. A lot of them deal with VG badges and what not. I also have 2 missions badges, and have done a few arcs. Seer marino's has been the best readingwise so far. The PvP Zone badges are a bit toughter to get since yo0u have a bazillion heroes flying around Bloody Bay. But I did manage to get all of the ones in BB. I haven't gone to Sirens or the other PvP zone yet. But I'll keep ya informed.

Yeah, they guy from Vidiot used the same badge location threat from the beta as well. But the plaque that's no longer there is in Sharkhead.

hell yeah, you rule!

I am a total badge-[censored]!

Got four of six beacons for my Stalker's SG thanks to this guide- Sweet Tooth and St. Martial are all that's left to do. My MM was able to guide someone to the Sweet Tooth badge, thanks to what I was shown in beta- just got him to the hole, then went and sat on the map where the badge was so he could navigate. He was very grateful, as that was the last one his SG needed, and I think I owe you most of that thanks, since I would have no clue personally.

I'm not wholly certain, I'll check when I can- but I think you can get the Privateer badge by fighting the Sea Witch another way. I got a mission to fight her from Mr. Bocor, while a ship was in drydock. Had to deal with Red Hands and Night Haunts, as well as the Sea Witch. And I think I got the badge for it. Again, I'll doublecheck when I can get ingame.

Some updates and corrections.

Spectral is for trapping 100 ghost
Privateer is for trapping 50 ghost
Strike Buster 100? of any scrapyarders (got the badge killing a minion)
Fixer 250,000 damage healed (for the MMs, henchmen count for this [they may also count for some of the other badges, unconfirmed])

How do you get through the hole? I just run up over top of it. Or has it changed with the 11/08 patch?

Found another plaque:

Siren's Call - (-934.4, -158.0, 202.9)

It's in some rubble on the ground straight ahead from the villain base.

The badges in Bloody Bay are a lot harder to get by the way. There's always some hero that's waiting to get you, LOL. But per vidiotmaps, all the badges are where they were on Beta.

They are as follows:

Hungry: -1193, 0, -742 It's right near Comet J. It's guarded by some CoT Mages most of the time. Best way is to just fly, or SS right by it. That way the Mages don't lock ya down and ruin your day.

Ghoulish: 91, 65, 360. This one is in an open, long Mouselium. Kinda like an archway along the path.

Crooked Politician: 2264, 137, -832. On top of the building. Almost due riht of Metor Char.

Imploding: 1883, 130, 1338. Up and a lil right of Meteor Teen.

That's all for now enjoy

Thanks for the badge listing!!!

Well, I haven't been on since 11/7, but I went to the spot that VVolf was bringing people to in beta. When I got there, I could see the hole real easily- and from there, I just walked in. The guy I brought along flew in and headed for the badge, no problem. I ended up teleporting out after trying to get my pets to leap into the abyss, then went to the location so he could use his minimap and navigate.

I'd guess you could maybe use teleport, if you knew exactly where you were going. But fly's just going to work better.

Just a quick question.

How do you get the Sweet tooth badge? I've been crawling all over that freakin builing for two days and it seems the badge is inside the building. What gives??

Unless the devs have fixed it (Hint,hint devs) The hole in is the NE corner of the map near where the water hits land.

I did every one of the Golden Roller's missions, until he stopped giving them out, and I never got the privateer badge, nor did I have any mission involving a "Sea Witch" are you sure this is the correct contact? also, if you did get it from this contact, perhaps missions are not contact specific like they are in CoH, that could explain it.

Oh well, one more badge I need to pester people to find
(wishes for the flashback system so I can do all the missions for all my contacts and not outlevel half of them)
