As far as I know you can't get purples with tickets. Some people have told me to choose a random gold recipee roll, but I have been very unlucky with this.

So for my higher level heroes, I choose a silver recipee roll and for my lower ones I take rare salvage. This has not gotten me rich, but my rewards have ranged from about 1 million to 15 million in general with this approach.

I hope this helps.

Heya, Cyber:

First, a more appropriate forum for this should be "Mission Architect: Resources, Discussion & Questions", found here:

(The "Stories and Lore" forum is more for the creative process vs technical issues.)

Now, to answer:

Tickets can be used to buy recipes, salvage, enhancers, etc. However, if you have any desire to engage in MA storywriting, I'd strongly suggest getting the various account-based "unlocks" first, since once you get them, they're yours forever. These include special maps, costume pieces, auras, signature heroes/villains, etc. Once these are gotten, then you can consider all future tickets "fluff" and spend it on recipes, salvage, etc.

Making a popular arc is a fantastic way to earn tickets as well, as people who 3-5 star your arc net you 15-25 tickets with each vote.

I forget, is the Payoff badge still in? If so, that's another thing that can be bought with tickets.

And no, the Payoff badge doesn't do anything, except be a badge.

It's still in there, yep. And yeah, it's just a badge, no "worth" to it beyond ePeenie quantification.
