Best way to use architect mission tickets
I find bronze rolls to to be quite lucrative, craft and sell the 'worthwhile' ones and vendor the trash.
Make sure to check the actual selling prices on the crafted IOs. Some sell for decent inf, even though recipes maybe cheap.

what good idea, I have seen some recipes for 25k but the enhancement sells for 1mil
It's even better when the recipe sells for a million or 2 and the crafted IO sells for around 7-8. It happens with reasonable frequency. Of course, I buy A LOT of bronze rolls.

Debt barely slows down levelling these days. It's just a little bar that measures how much Awesome you've generated recently. (If you're not getting debt, you're just not trying to generate Awesome hard enough.) -Kelenar
The common salvage also goes for quite a bit - midlevel arcanes, for example, will go for around 1250 influence a ticket on average {upwards of half a mil per 400 tickets, in my experience}, so if you don't feel like rolling for recipes, you can take advantage of the market suffusion of recipes, but lack of components to make them.
There are some stupid prices on uncommon salvage - well, stupid price spreads. I saw something this morning where the "buy it now" price was 200K and the "Wait ten minutes" price was 5K.
I don't know what the optimum price strategy is.

I use them to buy SOs so I don't have to spend influence on them before I upgrade to IOs. It doesn't cost me that much either so I still have some tickets left over for random rolls.
I also use them to outright buy invention salvage to craft something, 540 tickets is cheaper to me than 2 mil inf.
Bronze random rolls, before too much longer every character I have will have KB protection and a number of them will have an additional 3% defense and 6% to-hit bonus.
If I have a LOT and don't feel like doing any of the above things with them I'll burn some on a gold roll. But I prefer using merits for random rolls like that.

I do gold rolls in the 30-34 range. It's gambling, so you can get good stuff and you can get bad stuff. Usually my luck isn't that great, but this week I got a Miracle +recov and a Numina +regen/recov, so that was about 70m redside and 40m blueside for me to spend.
The downside is that when you get something crappy, you just wasted 3500 tickets.
Dispari has more than enough credability, and certainly doesn't need to borrow any from you.

[/ QUOTE ]This is why I stopped doing gold and only do Bronze. The downside is doing the research about each recipie to know which ones are worth anything...
Claws: I don't think that's optimum (from the standpoint of tickets.) It may be optimum (from the standpoint of convenience.) Like I said, I don't have a good feel for tix vs. money.

I used to do that too until I saw ParagonWiki and saw that 30-34 has alot more junk than 35-39, with all the same good recipes like Numina, miracle, LOTG, etc.
Bronze all the way here. If a character is 30-49 I'll probably roll in the 15-19 range. Once they hit 50 its usually the a mix of that and then some in the 20-24 25-29 and 30-34 range.
The thing is you go through *a lot* of rolls and you end up deleting *a lot* of junk. You can make more if you craft but sometimes they move slow, the sheer volume usually means I have to sell fast. There are a lot that sell for the 1-10 million range, a handful that sell in the 10-20 million. And the Regenerative Tissue + regen proc that is your occasional jackpot for 40-50 million.

Yeah, it's because the recipes go 10/20-30 and 30-50 in most cases.
So you have a ton of recipes that can give level 30 recipes.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Arcane salvage gives you a good bang for your buck. During the exploit hell days I was cleaning up on arcanes AND tech.
I've gone through about 2 million tickets now so I have tried many different strategies to make inf. My recommendations are:
Characters level 1-49 = buy rare 45-50 Salvage.
Characters level 50 who generate 10k tickets a day or less = Buy 30-34 bronze rolls and craft into enhancements.
Characters level 50 who generate 20-30k tickets a day = Buy 30-34 bronze rolls and only sell ones worth 500k and up.
Characters level 50 who generate over 30k tickets a day = Buy 30-34 Gold Rolls and craft into enhancements.
bronze recipes 30-34 are worth the most, but when you start generating huge numbers of tickets, it's not worth your time to go through the rolling / crafting process. Further, when you start putting up 20 recipes every hour, you run out of space very fast.
For example: I earn 6000 tickets in 30 minutes. Rolling 84 bronze rolls and figuring out which 20 to keep then hoping I have slots available to put them on the market will take me another 15 minutes. In this time I could have earned enough for another 3500 tickets and had another gold roll by now.
Lots of great suggestions here. I'm a fan of Bronze rolls as well, although Numina has been warm for my form lately: three heroes, four Gold rolls over a week, each grabbed a Numina (one proc, two others).

How about a guideline for those of us who have a level 50 but only seem to manage to get about 600 tickets per hour?
I suppose I just don't have the right combination of powers on my 50th level toons to be able to clear the missions that fast.
But thanks for the tip on the lvl 30-34 bronze rolls. I picked up a Regenerating Tissue +Reg recipe from one of those rolls today.

Actually I was hoping for a clue on how to generate 30K+ tickets per day. I mean that's what? 3000 tickets per hour?
But I guess you have to have a Billion+ IO'd out, AoE machine in order to pull off something like that.

OK...I tired...that's all I got.
I spend all my tickets on Deific Weapons.
Then I throw them away.

[/ QUOTE ]Just how are you earning so many tickets without farming? I have gone thru tons of AE arcs but anything thats like non-farming always gives horrible ticket amounts.

I don't see anywhere in that post that says he/she doesn't farm them. Farming tickets (XP, etc) isn't bad. EXPLOITING stuff to get more rewards (tickets, XP, etc) than should be gotten is bad.

I have gathered quite a few tickets and was wondering what is the best route to use them to get IO enhancements. Is it better to do the random roll and hope to get the recipe or use them for salvage and sell the savage for money. Or is there another way I could use them to help get the IO enhancements I want.
