What should i buy with Merits...
Personally I've had the most success with the task force random recipe rolls. 20 merits per roll, and depending on the level range you roll within you could make up to 100 mil on a single roll.

This. You can make a lot building and selling the ones you don't need.
Depends on how many you have really. If you have less than 250, random rolls all the way. If you have 250 or more, pick up one of the Big 3 (LotG Recharge, Numina's unique, Miracle unique)
I would still make random rolls though. You could spend the 250 and be guranteed to get something valuable, or you could random roll and have a chance of getting MULTIPLE valuable things. I once heard of someone who made 3 random rolls and got one each of the Big 3. I was insanely jealous because that kind of thing never happens to me.

I've had the best luck with random rolls in the 35-39 range. you skip some of the annoying stuff that caps at 30, but still have a chance at the Big 3.

I've also heard of someone who made 16 random rolls, sold them to me at a pre-agreed price, and almost none of them were worth a damn thing. Minotaur warned me he had no luck with the random roll table. . . I didn't listen.
To steal a line from Ego's Shadow, random roll is random. A while back, level 30 Karma -KB IO's were selling for a lot more than level 11-29 ones, and in fact were a better use of merits than any of the big 3. Then the market went insane for a while and I have no idea if that's currently a good investment of merits or not.

So you think you're a hero, huh.
@Boltcutter in game.
Psst!......
(Level 30 Miracle Unique are my favorite.)

I rolled 8 times once... got 1 of each of the Big 3. YMMV. I've done my own datamining with just random rolls, in the 35-39 range. I average 50 mil for every 100 merits, or 500,000 per merit. This was after spending 500 merits on random rolls (not all at once, but over time). Getting the big 3 all at once like that is a freak occurance, but you'll still get many other decent recipes that sell for 10-20 mil per.
OTOH, if you saved 250 merits and spent it all on a single recipe of the big 3, and depending on its level, you would get about 50-70 mil for it. With the fluxuations in the market, that average could go up or down, with an absolute max of about 100 mil. Even taking this absolute max value of 100 mil for 250 merits, you still have an inf. per merit value (400,000) that's less than the inf. per merit value from random rolls (500,000).
