Day Job Priority

There are two accolades that give day job powers associated with the universities, a heal and a rez. I have been told that there has been special effort to ensure that one cannot earn two day job bonuses at once; if I log out in a university, does it give me charges for the heal or for the rez?

The accolade powers are not day jobs. The accolade powers will charge if you're at either day job location. You will get charge time on both when you're at the university.

However, presently the Self Rez for Master Architect is bugged. You cannot presently gain any uses for it no matter how much time you spend logged out in University or AE. I suspect it's because both the Self Rez and The Heal power (for Midnighters/Hosp) are BOTH called Vitalize. The game doesn't recognize the Self Rez (this could be because I'd already had uses of the Heal power first).

(Y'know I think I'll PM Castle of this...)

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

Ooh, that's appealing. Thank you.

As Fleeting Whisper said, you can earn the Day Job POWERS for two at once. What you can no longer do is earn Day Job BADGE PROGRESS on two at once. (Previously you could, but all such locations have been fixed.)

My dayjob priority tends to focus on the +XP bonuses.

That is police station for heros and Arachnos bases for vills. By the time I'm 50, this is irrelevant, so I want to get it somewhere between 1 and 49.

Once I'm 50, I pretty much just log off in an area that's nearby, especially if it's something not attainable outside of the zone. If in Sharkhead, I'll go to the graveyard. In PO I'll log off at the arena or the VG registrar, etc.

Most of my characters start with Rez, then Heal. Characters who can already do both like to pick up a few Broker Teleports and then go for an attack (if they need it). I usually look more towards accolades than "X minutes when you log in" powers, since the "X minutes when you log in" powers are usually rather pathetic if you play more than twice a week. ("Oh boy, any missions I complete in the next 5 minutes give me a small bonus to XP! Oh, wait, I'm checking the Broker after logging on, I lost it. Hooray for day jobs!")

You can buy it as often as you want for only 10,000 Inf, though, and no amount of Inf will buy you a rez or heal.

How many uses per 10k?

One.

That's why I prefer using the Day Job consignment house teleporter power, I'm so lazy I hate having to re-buy the one-shot temp power each time I want to use it.

That's actually what I use 90% of the time (although I'm considering switching), but I've noticed the bonus recipe rewards aren't much to write home about...

Have WW porter on most of my toons, for my stone tanks i get plus movement, anything to help them move faster.

Any new toon of mine must always log in WW. I have the pocket-d and mission door, but WW gets me home. In fact, I call Wentworth's home. SC then Talos. I can't spend much time in Atlas, and what's the deal with there being one in Kings Row. KR sucks.

PI needs one.

Dear family:

Today I got a Doctored Wounds recipe! I hope to be home soon.

I only get day jobs that match my characters' concepts, but the one I get on all of them is the fairly concept-neutral Base TP power. This way I can reach any zone in the game by zoning twice (either Ouro > destination or Base TP > destination).

I went for this one first too, but mid-December I got the Vet version. ^_^

The inspirations? The green ones with the plus and the ones with the sleeping guy and the arrow?

Since when can you use those on other people?

I generally go for a mixture of the BM/WW teleport power and the Base prestige bonus power at first.

I will sometimes go for Pocket D or the Arena for the +recovery or +endurance powers.

On one of my toons I generally stay in the Vanguard base for the bonus merits

Apart from that I just log out where ever is the nearest place is.

If your mouse has greater processing power than your gfx card, the answer is yes.

You can't use them on people but you can give them to them

Its a nice bonus when it works, but I notice lately its all common IO recipes.

I dont know what the drop rate is for common/uncommon/rare on the bonus drops, but when day jobs first came into being, I parked in Oro and charged up my bonus, then proceeded to get 4 Obliteration triples in a row from mission completes in PI on paper missions!

Needless to say, since then I dont remember getting even one non common... I think I burned my good drops up in a blaze of glory that first night. Oh but what a night it was.
