what is a good way to farm for reward merits

I heard something about a Kheldian tf

Positron tf I heard is quite good for reward merits

Ummm any good tfs or missions or story arcs for reward merits?

and is there a recipe you can craft for reward merits?

How long does it usually take?

lvl range and how many merits do you get at the end as a reward>

well, depends... That Kheld arc is of only historical interest now, and Dr. Q. TF... Are you guys kidding? Maybe I don't know something, but just the mission list on the wiki shows it's a poopsockfest, even with perfect team.

Some story arcs are still farmable, e.g. this: http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/showfl...part=4&vc=1 You also don't need a team that way. I think I know a few more, but I neither tested them, nor do I know anyone who did, so I'm not telling just yet.

Basically any TF you can do quickly.
Posi can be done by a competent team in around 2 hours giving 64 merits (originally 90), SSTF1 yields 111 but takes too long - typically 5-8 hours.
The respecs used to be popular especially as the each count as seperate - low 20s each but quick.

STF would be another option especially if you're also now getting merits for the flier - you could farm that for a bit whilst picking on Recluse's inner circle.

I guess Wincott's first arc could be farmed as well but I would expect a better return from TFs

Thats my post! Linked-post fame at last!

Like you said that arc is great if you cant find a team or just want to go solo for a bit (its fastest in a team of 3 imo) and the merit:time ratio is VERY good. Though there are 2/3 arcs that have caught my eye as being easier to "farm".

Will post if i find any

It's a pain in the rear and monotonous to do, but you wouldn't clock anywhere near 8 hours with a good team.

It's still the best for merits if you can get it down.

Oh I'd agree a good team will probaly be 5-6 hours - I have been on a team thats completed it in sub 4 hours in the past but that was exceptional. Now that Raptor packs are easilly and cheaply available in FBZ its much more accessible, but if some need to disappear for food, pacifying spouses, picking up kids this can extend and these sort of things are much more likely on this with it being so long to start with.
I can remember when it used to be 12-18 hours as the normal length and 8 hours was considered exceptional.

I'd say running Posi, Sister P and Psynapse back to back would give you a better return on the time.
To say nothing of ITF, LGTF and a couple of respecs - again about the same overall time

Edited and yet wrong!

Positron is now 64 but previously was 55.

SSTF1 is 111 but previously was 90.

You mistakenly said Posi used to have the reward of SSTF1.
