Hi, my (character's) name is Professor Eviella, and I'm a serious badge-a-holic.
I just wanted to thank everybody who has posted in these threads for their help, and ask a few questions:
Does anybody know a good place to hunt Mu Guardians? I've found a few in Cap, but not a lot.
Does anybody know why Vidiotmaps is showing "The Stinger" confirmed under accolades? I sure haven't seen anybody with it.
Is there any good way to convince the game you're not actually AFK when you're trying to get the time badges for the PvP zones? A book on the space bar didn't work, and I really don't feel like spending 5 straight hours paying attention to a pvp zone.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm pretty sure I have seen someone with the Stinger Accolade its for one of the high lvl SF.
As to the Mu a couple thing. Only ones under lvl 20 count. And the only places to find them are really missions and CAD.
Thanks for the help, I'll keep working on the time badges.
I've seen people with the Scorpion Clan badge, that was being given out for the SG Strike force early on. It's been replaced with the correct Air Pirate badge now. Unless there is a 5th Strike force that hasn't been mentioned anywhere I've seen it, Stinger is not for that. There are 4 SF's and 2 respec trials that I know of, nobody has reported anything else that I've heard of.
I can verify that the Ice Mistral SF in St. Martial gives Crystal Keeper, and that the Sharkshead SF is now giving Leviathan correctly, in case anybody was wondering.
Best way to get Mu Guardian is to form a team and split into two groups, one hunting in Aeon City, the other in the northeast hills or PTS.
If you want Banisher in City of Villains, the easiest way to get Spirit Masks is to have someone level 25 get the Steal the Scrolls of Tiekkelu mission from Archmage Taxius. Fill it with 7 people and you should get 20-30 masks every reset.

Other rare CoH enemy badges in CoV:
Outcasts - Only available in the "Destroy Hero Status" mission from Wellman
Paragon Protectors - Any level 30+ Crey mission should do.
Overseer - Naylor gives you a Rularuu portal mission or you can wait until the Item of Power trial.
Unveiler - Naylor also gives you a Nemesis mission that sadly only spawns 1 Fake Nem. There should be more Fake Nems in Grandeville if you don't want to farm one mission 100 times

I can confirm plaque in Bloody Bay, as well as Swashbuckler history badge. The plaque is at 604, 0, -151, NW corner of the brick building, on the western facing wall by the steps. Text talks about two female pirates. Combined with the plaques in PO, Sirens, and Shark gives Swashbuckler.
Rescue Wretch mission is a great one for Mu Guardians. Boss spawns inside mission varie from either Mu Guardians or Huntmans. So based off of luck but much quicker then hunting in Cap.

That would be Diviner Maros, not Tarixus. I checked the mission description. 
Darn i already did that mask mish without knowing it could have masks in it. CURSE YOU BANISHED PANTHEON MASKS CURSE YOU!
This is why you need alts. If you get a badge mission, you can always start it with a team, drop that character, and bring in an alt that needs it. Just make sure somebody is already in the mission. Both your characters will get the badge.
It also works for farming missions, if you find a group willing to wait as you log in and out. I've done it to get both Troll and Tsoo badges over the past few days.
ok.... let me see if I understand you...
I can get a mission, invite at least one person, have that person stay in the mission map, log off, (from inside the mission) bring my alt in, finish the mission, then the alt that I logged will have the badge? Somehow, that sounds incorrect to me. Please clarify.

This works for *missions* that give Badges, like Spelunker.
If an alt of yours owns the mission, this alt will receive the badge for a completion of this mission regardless if he is logged in, or ever takes part of the actual mission; the mission and rewards are tied to the owner. Whoever else takes part in the mission (and stays in the mission) will also be granted the mission badge at completion.
I've already forgotten about most of you

I've done it before as well. Its how I got Negotiator on my main when I out leveled the contact for it. Just made a new toon with a Tech origin and chose the right contact for it. Surefire way to get badges on multiple toons.

When you log back in the alt that originally had the mission, they will have the badge, as well as the alt who was actually in the mission. In the case of the "retrieve the Loa Bone" mission, I even got the temp power when I logged back in.
If you do it to set up a farm for some hard-to-find kill badge, like trolls or tsoo, the alt who logs out will not make any progress on the kill badge. I did not mean to suggest that, but may have.

Aye...this technique only works on mission badges, not villain badges. However, if you have a decent mission that helps farm skulls, Shivans, CoT what have you...then you can switch alts to farm it and get those badges individually(granted you will need a very patient team to accomplish this)

I must say the SF badges are a lot cooler looking then what Heroes has. My VG did Ice Minstral yesterday, and The Cap SF today. Great TF, last map in Cap SF is the cavern of Transcendence Trial. It's been tweaked a bit, but definately cooler then what heroes has tbh.
Ok, after looking at another thread or two, I'm going ask if anybody can tell me how to get the Kaolin Legacy of Earth or Lucent Legacy of Light gladiator badges. Thanks in advance!
Kaolin Legacy of Earth is currently bugged. It should be awarded with the Collector badge for having 25 badges, but it isn't.
Lucent Legacy of Light is for killing 200 Legacy LTs.
Ember Legacy of Flame is for killing 200 Legacy minions.

I'd imagine that you couold get those by farming the CAD SF. One or two of the missions in it are filled with Legacy Chain mobs.

Can anyone provide a list of SF contacts and their respective zones and level caps? Thanks

i actually got my legacy of light glad 1st on my 4th time through the cap sf, got my flame glad a little later while helping with a sea witch hero mission, there's definitely something odd about these badges

Virgil Tarakoss - Levels 15-20 (Enemies spawn at 20-21 regardless of team size)
Silver Mantis - Levels 20-25 (Must be unlocked with SG Base mission computer)
Strike Force Leader Renault - Levels 25-30
Ice Mistral - Levels 35-40
And there's the respec trials (And I will no doubt mispell these names):
Sprectrial (CoT Behemoth surrounded by Mu in Southern Nerva) - level 25-30
Trespecial (CoT Succubus surrounded by Mu in Northern Nerva) - level 30-40
And it's reasonable to get the Legacy LT gladiator before the Legacy minion one, especially on Virgil. Most people get the minion one through the regular missions from the Radio and Golden Roller.

The time needed in a PvP zone for the badges is cumulative, but not necessarily consecutive. This has been confirmed by Lord_Recluse over in this thread.
However, actually getting the badge to appear seems a bit wonky. I was in Bloody Bay from 6am to 10pm yesterday; even with log offs and disconnects, I was in the zone a good 10 hours. The badge never showed up, so I gave up and zoned out. Still no badge. And then at some point later, the badge was there -- but no notification that I had received it.
