Well after 4 BORING days of killing family--- the Slot machine will not speak to me. Yet more outleveled content

[/ QUOTE ]

Family bosses do not unlock the slot machine.

Marcone capos and consiglieres will grant you the gangbuster badge, which unlocks the machine.

[/ QUOTE ]

Are you sure Consigileres count?

Oh, and just to make sure everyone knows, Thorn Robber will unlock Abiter Leary. He's a level 35-40 contact.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where is Arbiter Leary located?

[/ QUOTE ]

He's at 1741.7 157.7 3157.1 in Nerva

Weird, he'll talked to me after the first respec trail, but said I need to to be 35 to do missions.

Wierd ... I'm level 35 too.

Sounds like a bug to me, though I've heard some have done him.

125 Marcone Capos later ... still no badge. Does anyone have an accurate number as to how many have to be defeated for this badge as I've already met the 100 requirement that Vidiot guesses at and, quite frankly, if I never see the words "Marcone" and "Capo" again it'll be too soon!


 

Posted

It's either 150 or 200. I stopped counting at 100, myself.


 

Posted

I wasn't able to keep an accurate count either. I was on a team of 3 people hunting them. It did speed it up not fighting each other for the kills.


 

Posted

I kept a count on the Gangbuster with HeroStats and have just got the badge -- it requires 200 defeats.

I fought exclusively Marcone Capos in Port Oakes so can't comment on what other Marcone/Family bosses may count towards the badge or not.

Happy hunting!

I am horrible at navigating the zones via coordinates, can someone give me a hint as to what Crimson Revenant and Arbitter Leary are close to? Are they on Building tops, or on Rocks, which island, etc.?

Arbiter Leary is right next to Arbiter Frederick, consult your map.

To find Crimson Revenant, go to the front door of the Crey buiding (where the Sci and Tech stores are marked on your map). Face away from the doors and you'll see a building in front of you. He is on a ledge off to the right.

No, Arbiter Lupin is next to Arb. Frederick. Lupin is the guy you go to to trade in your respec and actually respec.

Leery (note spelling) is on top of a mount in the southern peninsula of Primeva Isle (581 yards south of quartermaster on that isle).

Update:

Thanks to this thread, I stopped my leveling at 29.8 so I wouldn't outlevel Doc Buzzsaw. I did the Virgil Tarikov (sp?) Strike Force again in CaD, auto-exemped to 20. I was earning no xp, just infamy (and prestige). During this SF, I dinged the Bling badge (1 mill xp).

Please note that I was the leader of this SF. That's right, even though I was 'too high' in level, it allowed me to start the SF and then auto-exemped me.

When I was finishing pwning Bat'Zul, I promptly went to Doc Buzzsaw. Doc has two mini-arcs with two souvenirs for you. No badges, no temp powers, no timed missions, no AVs or Heroes (but one Elite Boss, so you can avoid the warning to bring friends). I leveled to 30 while in the middle of the second arc, but wisely forewent leveling. Doc continued to give me the rest of the arc's missions.

Doc's missions are a Stalker's paradise. While the devs altered many click-the-glowie missions to involve some battle, they didn't get around to these missions.

[You do know that the highest xp/hour rate can be achieved by running to the mission objective and just grabbing the mission xp, right? This, of course, is provided that you can run to the mission objective without been seen and dying. Stalkers and those with stealth powers have no problems. Superspeed's stealth (and knowing basic CoH/V layouts) is just as effective and faster. If you go this route, put your diff slider is on easy, so as not to crowd the halls with mobs blocking your way.]

Coord is 1739 not -1739

Took L40 Gloomy to him just now. Who has completed the 1st respec trial (not respec'd yet though) , but not the 2nd.

With Thorn Robber, but not actually respec'd ... he wouldn't give me missions. ( I believe it's a bug to get the 'Thorn Robber' badge as soon as you finish the respec trial, as the badge description says it's given after RESPECing, also i was awarded the badge again after i actually respeced gloomy).

Thorn Robber description:
[ QUOTE ]
You have stolen the power of the Nexus of Thorns for the first time, and have used the character respec it granted you.

[/ QUOTE ]Something not right with getting the badge awarded message twice (once when i completed the trial, and then again when i actually used the respec). Wether you have to actually 'respec' i'm not sure, the 'used' in the description could mean 'choose' the respec option instead of an SO, or it could mean actually respec your character.

Anyway I respec'd and went back to Leery, this time he came up with a new message ...

[ QUOTE ]
As an arbiter, i can handle disputes between Arachnos faction leaders. I only work with those individuals who have proven they are the best. You have not done so. Seek out the demons who walk this isle, Sparcetriel and Trepsarciel. They can show you the way to greatness.

[/ QUOTE ]

So it would seem that you do need to complete both respec trials, and take the respec option (not the SO rewards).

I should also mention that even though Doc Buzzsaw is listed as 25-30, I'm assuming that should really be 25-29 as most leveling ranges are figured.

If someone should get Bling at level 30, please see if you can get Doc Buzzsaw to give you a mission, to check this out.

[/ QUOTE ]

My experience in CoH has been the opposite, contacts that started at 25 would still give new missions out at level 30. As I have been mainly soloing in CoV I haven't got to a point where I've been able to test if this carries over to CoV to any great extent yet, I assume it does though.

It's been confirmed in other threads, Doc Buzzsaw will give you missions at level 30.

Thank you sir, I stand corrected.

I did the first respec at 24, the second at 33. I got no respec option for the second time around however. Leery won't talk to me. However my partner did the first respec twice, failed it the first time, beat it the second time and got him to talk and give her a mission.

There must be another badge related to it.

::edit::

I compared badges with her. the only ones she has that I don't are Soul Binder (CoT mages) and Finder (Lost). (not including any gladiator badges or souveniers)

[/ QUOTE ]

The one you did at 33, did you go to the proper contaact? If you used the same contact as at 24, you just did the same respec mission which is why you didnt get another respec. However if you went to the contact that is up north then there is a bug. I also believe you need to be 34 for the 2nd respec, not 33.

Archmage Tarixus..........25-30.........Lore Keeper (not confirmed)......793, 16, 1781 Sharkhead


[/ QUOTE ]

I had Lore Keeper the first few times I spoke with him. That didnt unlock him. Was doing a paper mission and earned both the Soul Binder and Weed Wacker a couple of minutes apart. After that Taraxis would talk to me --- though I had outleveled him.

The others seem to be kicked in by one badge so I can only assume that it is just the Soul Binder or the Weed Wacker.

At this point I am assuming that Weed Wacker is for killing Succubi.

[/ QUOTE ]

In regards to Archmage Tarixus. Previous to last night..he would not offer me anything nor was he onmy contacts list. Last night I did a mission that involved the CoT and gained the Weed Wacker Badge. Today, upon speaking to Archmage Tarixus, he added himself to my contact list and placed himself on my Sharkhead map. It seems the Weed Wacker Badge is the key to unlocking Archmage Tarixus.

It should be nkown however that I also possess the Lorekeeper Badge. So wether ot not you need both badges to unlock him as a contact I cannot tell. But you most certainly need the Weed Wacker Badge.

P.S. My spelling sux.
