I think I messed up.

I leveled up to 35, and hadn't done the Talos Island Safeguard Mission yet. Not a problem, I thought. The wiki says it's 30-35, so I should still be able to get it. I go through the requisite number of missions, and instead, it gives me Brickstown (35-40). This worries me, because, of course, it means I'm missing a badge.

My question is, if I were to go to a different town (I'm in Brickstown now, so Founder's Falls, for instance), and run missions there, would I be given the other Safeguard Mission? Or am I out of luck?

Have a lower player with the mish invite you and bam

That's likely what I'll have to do. I just tried running radio missions in FF, and it still comes up Brickstown. I was kind of hoping to do this solo, but if I can't, I can't.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe at the overlap levels (in your case, 35), there is a certain % chance of getting the lower-level map... and I think that chance is lower than 50%

You can sort of get the mission for yourself, get it on an alt, find a friend, have them enter to hold the mish open, swap toons, have them invite you, get the badge. Your alt will get the temp item if you complete the mission.

When you're at the breakpoint level between two safeguards, like 35, you have a 50/50 chance of getting either. I would think the easiest method would be to find someone who has the mission and go along with them.

If you MUST do it on your own, for whatever reason, go into options and turn off your XP so you stay 35 indefinitely. Then just keeping doing radio missions until you get the safeguard you want.

I ended up finding someone else who had it. I got lucky, it was the first person I'd asked, and he had no problem letting me get the badge and get out.

Don't forget, it's not WHERE you take the Safeguard mission -- it's based solely on your toon's level. So regardless of the zone you took the mission in, you will get the particular Safeguard based only on your level.
