Yup it's my controller Madame of Mystery mish, it's lvl 44/45 and with a largeish team should have plenty of Ma. Illusionists. Plus the AV is unbeatible due to a bug so we can't finish it by accident.
I'll be on from 8-11pm tonight i'll give out a shout on the UB channel when I log on.
Now @Eskimo-Spy
I'm not evil.
Thanks to everyone who joined in with the illusionist hunt, it went very well and many shiny badges were gotten.
I wouldn't mind hunting fake nems. sometime soon got half a bar left. Even though it's street huntable if someone has a mish we could farm that'd be ace.
Now @Eskimo-Spy
I'm not evil.
Happy some of you got the badge. 
If id noticed you were asking were to hunt for them I would have said. Missions are the best place to get them set to invic with a full team so you get more bosses.
Or in PI not to far from portal Corp (SE ish) is a very good spot to hunt for them, just in case anyone else wanted to know.
Yep, got another 4 badges for Badge Hunter which was well worth the 4 hours or so spent.
I'll be on from about 8ish this evening and am definately up for the Fake Nems hunting.
I'll be on tonight (hopefully around 8ish), should I look for @J_Dogg, Badge Hunter? which? With Fake Nem I get my next accolade!
I will be on as Badge Hunter, and it's the last 1 I need for the accolade too and my bar is about 50% full.
After the nems I think it's on to PP's, so if anyone has a missions with lots of Paragon Protectors in I would love to come along and help farm it for a few... 
Just want to say big thanks to Mother's Love for helping me with Jack in Irons and Eochai. Huge amount of debt but she helped turn the tide.
And thanks to TechMan 1 who was there and organised the team to get Jurrasik as well! 3 GMs in 3 hours!!
Also picked up Doctor's Ally and Frontline, so no worries about contact badge missions to level 40 now! [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Does anyone know where I can find Katie Hannon for the Croatoa Task Force?
Had a look the other day and don't know where she is?
Also, can anyone (30+) lead the task force, or is it like the Ernesto Hess where he will only talk to you once you've done all other Strige Island contacts (I did all the contacts in Stiga bar one. But the last one gave me Ernesto Hess as a contact). Does Katie Hannon work the same way?
AND would anyone be interested in doing the Katie Hannon task Force around 8pm Wednesday (9 August) tomorrow night?
Go on [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Katie is like Hess - she is unlocked by completing the Croatoa arc of contacts.

Well i have unlocked the contact with my 33 scrapper, but i think i can only do that thursday and not wednesday... Tell me if you are still intersted and i'll try and see if i can put a team together for it.
It's 5 heroes min to start, and the first mish you have to defeat an AV as much as you can (10 times and you get a badge)... Of course AV is 35 and always come with mobs 33-35.
Yep! I can probably do it Thursday. About 8pm start?
How does that "10 times the victor" Badge work? Do you beat her as many times as you can in the first mission and hope you do it 10 times? Or do you keep restarting the TF 10 times after the first mission and just continue on the last go?
Oh, and what's the auto-expemplar cap? I've got lvl 36 blaster so fully excpect to get no XP anyway.
I can't start the TF as I didn't finish all the contacts. Well, I did finish all of them but completely outleveled Skipper LeGrange before I even spoke to him.
If anyone is going to hunt badges:
Illusionist
Any PvP zone badges (Arachnos minions, shivans, etc.)
Most of the badge mish badges

10 times is exactly that : you have to defeat her 10 times in the first mish. However there is like a time, you don't see it but at one moment the mission is "failed". When it happened to my group we defeated her 7 times and so we were allowed to continue, don't know if we could actually failed it if we don't defeat her a minimum times....
Anyway, i still have the 7 badges for defeated her 7 times, so i guess i only need 3 more times to get the 10 times the victor.
About thursday i'll need to confirm that, i hope today.
Yeah I did some reading and it says something like "In the first mission you have to find and defeat Mary McComber. After that she comes looking for you brining minions, so be careful". The guide assumes you'll beat her 10 times, and the badge counter goes up by one each time "4 times the victor, 5 times the victor" etc. I can only assume that if you repeat the TF and kill her another 3 times (with your current 7 times the victor badge) you'll get the full count.
Suggests to me that if the team DOESN'T achieve 10 victories the first go then quit the TF and start again. After all it is the first mission.
I also found out I CAN start the TF. Like Ernesto Hess I did all the Zone contacts except one (in both zones), but still did the all last/highest contacts mission you can do in both zones. And it's they who send you to Ernesto or Katie.
So any badge hunter's be warned. To start the Ernesto or Katie's TF yourself you MUST do the last contacts missions in Striga and Croatoa, respectively. I think there's 4 contacts in each?
Croatoa;
1-Gordon Bower
2-Skipper LeGrande (I skipped his missions but when I hit level 32!? or similar I spoke to him and he gave me Kelly as a contact)
3-Kelly Nemmers
4-Buck Salinger... finish his missions and he'll point you to Katie Hannons TF.
Striga Is;
1-Stephanie Peebles
2-Long Jack (I skipped his missions but when I hit level 27!? or similar I spoke to him and he gave me Tobias as a contact)
3-Tobias Hansen
4-Lars Hansen... finish his missions and he'll point you to Ernesto Hess' TF.
I wonder if you did NONE of their missions but spoke to each as you hit their level quota whether they just keep referring you on?

Just so you know the last time i did this TF and earned 7 badges from defeating her it took us several hours... 2/3 hours at least if i remember correctly... so if you want after to do it again you're going ot have a TF lasting more than 5 hours and during the week it's pretty hard [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
ouch!
And looking at the guide it seemed so easy...
Defeat Mary 10 times. 2 seconds to say 2 hours to do?

The fact is Mary is AV lvl 34/35... If you have a team of player lvl 34/35 this should not take too long but if the team is more 31/32/33 then it's much longer....
I think 2/3 hours is more likely if the team is doing good w/o wipe or too much death. You have also to think about the respawn time between each salve. It's around 3/4 mins i think (so at the end of the 10 times it's like 40 mins of waiting [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])
About tomorrow night i think i'll not be able to make it... But if you have it then you can start it [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Wish you good luck and have fun [img]/uk/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
If you're not doing it tomorrow tell me if you're doing it next week so i can plan it [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Probably not on tonight after all. Sick as a dog so crawling home to bed.
Can I just I'm so close but so far away on so many badges;
* Just need Cabalist (KM TF) to get Geas the Kind One, AND 10 times the victor.
* Only need about 35+ Paragon Protectors to get Crey Pistol but I'm level 36, and the only ones I can find (out of PP missions) is in Eded where they're all 36-36 Bosses who kick my a*ss. Which also gives Gladiator badge.
* Just need an hour or two in Bloody Bay, & Siren's call to get those two
* Literally ".." this close to getting igneous boss badge but now can't "invoke" them in Hollows as I'm too high a level for them to come out of the ground (Don't know how I missed this as I felt I killed 1000s of the buggers in Hollows???)
* Again, real close to Legionaire for Warrior bosses but they seem to be getting harder and harder to find in Talos.
...and a few others. Whenever I try lately I think "that'll take an hour or two to finish" and 2 hours later I've managed to get 1/10th of the way there.
At least it makes me appreciate the badge when I earn it even more.
I know if you head North East of the cargo ship there is a beach which usually has lots of Rikti on it, just behind the beach there are usually a few carnie mobs and 1 of them usually has a Master in it. I'm sure someone knows a better place though..
