Level 15 villain with Vanguard Merits?

Somehow I was able to get 10 Vanguard Merits in the RWZ on my level 15 villain last night. As I am not a level 35 toon, and I have not run the RWZ intro arc, I should not be able to get any Vanguard Merits at this point. I am really not sure how this happened, and I am looking for any ideas that the community may have.

Background: I was invited to a mixed ToT team in the RWZ last night. I entered the zone thru Cap as a level 13 toon, and was SKd up to lvl 49 when I joined the team.

Running through the Vanguard base, I got one exploration badge.

After a bit of ToT, a MS raid formed. During the raid, we planted a bomb, defeated the Rikti AV and I got the explore badge in the bowl of the ship.

At that point, I went to train up to level 15 and noticed that I had 10 Vanguard Merits. Looking through my reward log, I did not see any notification that I was rewarded with Vanguard Merits. I did see XP earned, inf earned, prestige earned and all reward drops (recipes / salvage / enhancements).

Any ideas how this happened?

I believe that the raids give 10 regardless of whether you have done the intro arc, but am not positive.

Doesn't the day job give you a merit for each mission completed, whether or not it's in the RWZ or against Rikti? Probably works for people sub-35 too?

Not sure about that. I had never set foot into the RWZ before last night, so I have to rule that one out.

They locked the Day Job badge. You can earn time for it by logging off, but the badge will not award nor will you have the buff power unless you are 35+

I experienced a bug where one of my characters was getting a vanguard merit for compleating a each mission. I was duoing with Mr. Tealeaf, doing his missions, which were from a contact in Founder's falls. We were not fighting any Rikti. This character was also pre-35. He was not getting any merits.

Though about bugging it, but then I got lazy/drunk/passed out.


I'm Tealeaf, and I approve of this message.
