Level 0
Download Midnights' Hero/Villain Designer from http://www.honourableunited.org.uk/mhd.php and plan out your character from levels 1 to 50!
Level 1
1. Defeat 100 Infected in the Tutorial. This badge does not come with benefits, but is very tedious to obtain outside the Tutorial.
2. Obtain the 2 large inspirations from the Outbreak tutorial. Do not use them. Instead, post them at Wentworth's for a low price so that they sell fast. They will likely fetch 2-10 thousand influence each, allowing you to slot up your character completely for the first few levels. This task is not essential, but if you choose to do the tutorial you might as well do this.
3. Missions: First Atlas contact unlock inspirations if you intend to play in Recluse's Victory later on IMPORTANT! These contacts only give missions from levels 1-4!
4. Defeat: 25 Rikti Unexploded Bombs (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
5. Defeat: 10 Rikti Heavy Assault Suits (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
6. Defeat: 100 Rikti (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
Note: Items 4, 5 and 6 will be tough to complete after the Rikti Invasion world event of i10 ends. Only completing the Lady Grey Task Force will trigger a random Zone Invasion then, and it may take you all 50 levels to get these 3 badges.

* Go sit under Atlas and show all the n00bs all of your cool costumes/capes/auras/pets/buffs/effects that they can't get for 49 levels! HolonicGhost
* Obsessively max out your character with level 53 IOs and HOs
* Complete your badge collection
* Hold costume contests, character biography contests or other contests under the Atlas statue (please offer a top prize worth at least 500,000 to 1 million influence)
* Randomly help fledgling heroes, especially in The Hollows (e.g. by healing, buffing or teleporting them)
* Stand near Ms. Liberty in Atlas or Back Alley Brawler in Galaxy and show new players the ropes (someone without even a single veterans badge could probably use your help)
* Hang out in Pocket D or under the Atlas Statue and role play
* Go into PvP zones or the Arena and fight other players
* Farm influence and/or salvage and/or recipes (hey, some people enjoy this!)
Now, if you have other tasks to add to the list, please feel free to post in this thread. In any case, happy mishing!

When you level
I've created an Excel version of this checklist which shall be updated each time this web version gets changed. This downloadable checklist has conditional formatting built in: items you check off turn grey and get crossed out. There's also a printable version of the checklist within the file.
Because I'm sharing a folder rather than a specific file, it's easy to update the file by changing the contents of the folder.
Click here to download the checklist!
Note that while MediaFire supports download managers, the following managers don't play well with MF:
* FlashGet - Downloads reach ~99% and then stall
* DownThemAll - Downloads reach 100%, but then restart from scratch
* Internet Download Manager - Resuming multiple connections doesn't work and downloads are often corrupted when they reach 100%
* Free Download Manager - Resuming downloads doesn't work
The file's small enough that you wouldn't need a download manager anyway.
I think this is the best guide bar none. CoH has added so much content, that the developers really need to add functionality in game such that it helps users point them in the right direction where "primary content" exists. It is all to easy to just join a PUG and start doing random missions and miss a ton of cool stuff.
For instance when you level the NPC leveler mentions that the following quests should be completed before the next level, or that the following GM and TF are availiable in this level range. etc.
Ok Eldandil you get mega stars. Time to work on CoV!
Now if only the Villian side had one of these 
Thanks, Osiris. That really warms the cockles of my heart.
(Isn't that a strange expression though?)
Sadly, I will be taking a break from CoX for a bit. I've run into some financial difficulty and really need to cancel my subscription for a bit. I'm not sure when I'll be back either. 
Anyway, let me just state for the record that if anyone is willing to update this checklist in my absence, that's absolutely fine by me. Or if someone wants to transform it into something bigger and better, please go right ahead.
Hopefully, I'll be back again a few months down the road.
Eldandil I would like to request one more thing in your spread sheet. I am trying to fill it out and I need the name of the badges so I can look and see if I have it already or not. You list what you have to kill and what accolade it is needed for but not the name of the badge. I don't know if I have it in my badge list.

Hello, Newbie here (actually a 41 year old doctor who found his new favorite hobby), been playing 4 weeks, I love the list of "to dos", but my question is "why?"
Why do I need these stinkin' badges (insert blazing saddles quote here) and could you explain the grid # system before giving grid #s, I have no idea what they are, they do not show up in my game screen
I assume the list is to help us newbies, but the language is not newbie friendly
I guess I do not understand some of the terms and lingo
here are a few examples
"3. Missions: First Atlas contact unlock inspirations if you intend to play in Recluse's Victory later on IMPORTANT! These contacts only give missions from levels 1-4!"
"How do I find this First Atlas contact" When I started the game I had a mission to go talk to someone inside city hall, but not someone under the Atlas statue.
4. Defeat: 25 Rikti Unexploded Bombs (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
Does this mean that as a level 1-4 I should go to the Rikti zone or wait around for a Rikti invasion?
5. Defeat: 10 Rikti Heavy Assault Suits (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
same ? in an Rikti battle there are dozens of heroes, how do I get credit for the defeat?
6. Defeat: 100 Rikti (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
Note: Items 4, 5 and 6 will be tough to complete after the Rikti Invasion world event of i10 ends. Only completing the Lady Grey Task Force will trigger a random Zone Invasion then, and it may take you all 50 levels to get these 3 badges.
7. Level in:
* Atlas Park levels 1-6
* Galaxy City levels 1-6
What does "level in" mean?

You don't, but some badges are needed to unlock accolades.
Accolades are badges that grant you in game benefits like temp powers or endurance and health increases
I assume the list is to help us newbies, but the language is not newbie friendly
It's to help everyone. There are soo many things to do it's difficult to keep them all straight.
You'll pick up the lingo as you go along.
"How do I find this First Atlas contact" When I started the game I had a mission to go talk to someone inside city hall, but not someone under the Atlas statue.
That's the contact he was talking about. The first contact you were assigned in City Hall.
Defeat: 25 Rikti Unexploded Bombs (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
Does this mean that as a level 1-4 I should go to the Rikti zone or wait around for a Rikti invasion?
Well, since you can't get into the Ritki Warzone untill you hit level 35, you'll have to nab them during raids.
It is a common practice to list the minimum possible level required to do a feat. Accolades are only availalbe when examplaring down to the level they were earned. So the earlier you can obtain an accolade the better off you are.
Now that the invasion event is over, it's not really practacle to attempt to earn it in that range, but it's theretically possible to if you wre patient enough.
Defeat: 10 Rikti Heavy Assault Suits (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
same ? in an Rikti battle there are dozens of heroes, how do I get credit for the defeat?
As long as you caused damage to him, or were on a team that caused damage to him, then you will get credit once it is defeated.
6. Defeat: 100 Rikti (Rikti Zone Invasion) Watchman
Note: Items 4, 5 and 6 will be tough to complete after the Rikti Invasion world event of i10 ends. Only completing the Lady Grey Task Force will trigger a random Zone Invasion then, and it may take you all 50 levels to get these 3 badges.
7. Level in:
* Atlas Park levels 1-6
* Galaxy City levels 1-6
What does "level in" mean?
They will be X level in the follwing zones. As in the opponents you come accross in those zones will fall within that level range..
Sorry to be "Super Newbie"
Don't worry, we all were at one point.
This game has a pretty steep learning curve. I find that is part of what makes mastering it feel so rewarding.

Actually, I did mention in the third-from-bottom paragraph of the first post what the badges are for: they aggregate to award other badges called Accolades. (And these Accolades give bonuses to your stats or grant additional powers!)
[ QUOTE ]
and could you explain the grid # system before giving grid #s, I have no idea what they are, they do not show up in my game screen
[/ QUOTE ]
The coordinates are in -x, z, -y format, where:<ul type="square">[*]x corresponds to the east-west axis (left-right on the minimap). The more positive the number, the further west (left) the location.[*]z corresponds to the up-down axis. The more positive the number, the further up the location.[*]y corresponds to the north-south axis (top-bottom on the minimap). The more positive the number, the further south (to the bottom) the location.[/list]
Together, the numbers work something like this:
<font class="small">Code:[/color]<hr /><pre>
Demonstration of 1337 ASCII skills
|--------------------------------------------|
|(100, 0, 0) (0, 0, 0)|

</pre><hr />
Now, one problem with the system is that the origin point (0, 0, 0) of a CoH map is not fixed at one of the corners as one might expect. It tends to float somewhere in the middle of the map. In the ASCII example above I fixed the origin in the NE corner just to make the example useful, but you will never find such a situation in practice.
Hence, we tend to see both positive and negative numbers for all three coordinates. Just thought I'd warn you before you got confused.
Oh yes, you need to hit a hotkey in order to bring up your current coordinates in your chat window. I load such an extensive set of binds on each new character I create that I no longer remember what the default hotkey is. Please check your keybind settings in the in-game Options menu to find out what it is. Or perhaps someone here could give a quick shout out?

Hm. I hadn't realised that the list contained references not immediately clear to new players, but I suppose I've come to take a number of things for granted along the way. Let me do my best to explicate then.
By 'First Atlas contact', I meant the first contact you are given in Atlas Park, the city zone. For players who choose to start their game in Atlas Park, this is the very first contact they are given (automatically) outside the tutorial. Now, why is this important? Actually, it's not important, but it's convenient. This first contact is always found in City Hall - the same place the entrance to Recluse's Victory is located. If you do enough missions for this contact, he or she will later be happy to sell you Inspirations. This facilitates PvPing in Recluse's Victory - if you use up all your Inspirations, you can grab new ones from the Atlas contact with a minimum of travelling.
Those who choose to start the game in Galaxy City are out of luck. Though they can of course get contacts in Atlas Park, I believe the ones in City Hall are not among them.

Someone had raised a similar query in the earlier incarnation of this guide and so I added the note about how it might take 50 levels to get the Watchman badges. I guess it's still not clear what I meant though.
'No' to the RWZ, since only kills during Zone Invasions count. (You can't get into the Rikti War Zone until you've gained quite a number of levels, but that's irrelevant.)
Also 'no' to waiting around. I only meant that it's theoretically possible to start working on the badges at level 1. It was even feasible during the i10 Invasion event, which is when I wrote this checklist.
Yes, I know putting these badges in the Level 1 range could confuse some people. But before anyone suggests that I should move these three badges to a different level range, let me point out that they don't fit better anywhere else.

You join a team. In any team kill, everyone on the team gets full (not proportional) credit.

What does "level in" mean?
[/ QUOTE ]
I used 'level' as a verb here. This might be gaming parlance. To level is to fight enough bad guys (or do whatever else it takes) to gain enough experience to promote to the next experience level. Therefore, the "Level in:" sections tell us which parts of the game to hang around and fight the bad guys in in order to maximize one's rate of experience gain.

What about the Demon Slayer Badge??
Heroes
Baphomet is present in the Stop the Rikti transdimensional expedition before the alternate Circle discovers our Earth mission from Angus McQueen. (Levels 40-44)
Baphomet is also found in Faathim the Kind's Task Force: The Saga of Lanaru. (Levels 44-50)
Reddy Kilowatt
Children of Data
2nd SG on Infinity
Earth Tech
Desert Princess
Bloody Decker
(and that is only some of the ones on Infinity)
That won't fit in my list for 2 reasons, Reddy.
1. That badge isn't a useful one.
2. It can be obtained easily any time.
Hm... I'm now wondering if Flashback has made my list more or less useful?
Less because fewer tasks are now time-sensitive task: one could always pick up Spelunker at 50 if so desired. Also, you could just do every single arc available, not knowing/caring whether or not it leads to an accolade, thereby picking up all the accolades in passing.
More because now it's useful to the old 50s (like my Eldandil) who previously couldn't have used this list much at all. Also, some people would still want to grab their accolades as early as possible, and this list would help one see how early one should hit up the missed tasks for each accolade.
Well, it's moot for me, since I only have a few days left on my account. Hope someone out there gets some use out of it though.
Extremely good list and so very helpful. I have 2 lvl 50s, a lvl 45 and hordes of lvls 25-35 and I have seen ALOT of content but it is still very useful to have a great list like this. Now I con use it on the lower lvl toons I have as a checklist

Flashback or not this is very helpful to someone who collects temp powers like myself. I'm not a badge-hunter, unless said badge involves a power. Not only have I downloaded this list, I know at least 4 other people in my SG who will too.
Thank you for the effort you put into this. I'm always sorry to see good people go. Hurry back.

), I make a bid to help others in the same situation whenever I can. If I am about to start a mission that leads to a sought-after badge solo, I usually make a couple of zone broadcasts inviting people of any level who need the badge to join me. Sure, I end up with no XP for these missions sometimes, but it's really a small sacrifice. I would like to make a request of those of you who find this list useful to invite others to your Fortuneteller, Doctor and Anti-Matter missions as well.
Trying to figure out which AV I was missing on my 50 troller for his Portal Jockey badge got me irritated enough that I decided to go and compile a level-based to-do list so that my lower level alts would not have to go through the same frustration.
So, I spent several hours with the Paragon Wiki and eventually came up with the following list of things to do. Doing the tasks on this hero-side list should let a player unlock all the useful accolades, the cape and aura costume options, and the extra costume slots. I have also included tasks leading to temporary powers that I deem particularly useful.
Certainly, some of these tasks can be accomplished at a much lower level than as listed if someone high enough in level is willing to let you tag along as a Sidekick. However, since I don't want to encourage people begging for SKs in order to get their accolades earlier, I'm not going there.
On a related note, almost all these tasks can also be performed at higher levels than as listed. If you don't fancy fighting for your life against yellow- and red- con CoT mages at level 5, you could always hit the Hollows in your 20s and mow them down without risk instead. The only exceptions are those tasks involving level-bounded missions. While you could do those missions at any level at all, you can only obtain the missions within certain level ranges. I highly recommend that you obtain those specific missions (see red text in list below) as soon as you level into the respective ranges.
Having experienced in the past the frustration of missing out on certain badges (Spelunker
For difficult hunts (Banished Pantheon Spirits, for instance), it might be a good idea to ask via broadcast if anyone else in the zone is hunting the same thing. Teaming up with any such people stops you from working at cross purposes with one another and could net you the badge more quickly than if you were solo. Each member of the team would gain full credit from a team kill.
Lastly, I'm not a serious badger. No, I don't mean I'm a frivolous mustelid. What I mean is that I'm usually only interested in badges that come with benefits. That being the case, my list only involves badges of the useful variety with few exceptions. If you are a badge collecting addict and need to catch 'em all, you would be well advised to cross-reference this list with a badge list from somewhere else. BadgeWhore would be a likely place to start from. Snarespawn's level-restricted badge checklist would also be very, very useful to you. Finally, VidiotMaps is your friend.
I would like to thank TonyV for creating the wonderful encyclopedia of all things CoX that is the Paragon Wiki. Information about levelling zones was shamelessly stolen from Aett_Thorn and PsiBug. Thanks go out also to Thunderfire, Destructor, Zloth, Ang_Rui_Shen, Neutrino_Siphon, Human_Being, Zombie_Man, HolonicGhost, and Kanehllfir for their contributions to the draft version of this guide.
