If you do a random roll, the recipe pops up in your level range. If you pick a specific recipe to buy you can then choose the level you want it at, the highest that can be is your level.

I really, really do not like that aspect of random rolling... there are more and more 50s in this game, but not everyone wants to slot level 50 recipes, either. I think you should be able to pick the level of the recipe that you're random rolling as well.

As for the merit reward for vets, it all adds up. That's six merits you don't have to earn. Vet rewards are like that- not earth shaking, but nice.

I thought you could by adjusting the scroll bar up top. Maybe that's just for AE ticket rolls.

It's not exact. I recall having a level 46 toon and rolling randomly in the 35-39 range. I ended up with a level 46 junk recipe

That's because the set level range for the recipe you received extended to level 50. In that case, you get the recipe at your toon's or the highest level available, whichever is lower.

If you'd received a recipe from a set whose range maxed out below 46, you would have received the recipe at the set's max level.

The ONLY time you can specify a recipe level, as far as I'm aware, is when directly purchasing that exact recipe using Reward Merits. All other times you simply pick the range, which doesn't have anything to do with the level of recipe you receive -- that's tied (as above) to either your level or the set's level range.

Yup, when rolling in the 30-35 range on Grey Pilgrim, I've gotten level 30 recipes (as that's where the set ended), or 50s. I find it annoying and mostly just purchase merits at the more expensive price. I know it's technically more expensive, but I usually just cash in on an expensive recipe and buy everything else from Went's.

I'd rather get a recipe that I know I can sell or slot at a level I want, rather than roll on some recipes I know I won't want no matter what. I'm not sure why the system is this way, or why it supposedly is seen as a bad thing (in lieu of any dev comment and often expressed desire for selecting levels on rolled recipes in the market section, I can only assume this is WAI, and not something that they hope to implement due to some weird thing in the system).

Yes and that's a system that I don't quite like and have decided to only do random rolls on level 35 or 50 toons. I have to make up my mind on a toon to level to 35 and leave there forever so I can roll in the 35-39 range. I already have a level 15 with XP turned off that I use to roll AE tickets. It's annoying, but it's the best solution I can think of right now.

I'm 99% certain that damage procs scale with character level - so they deal less damage at lvl30 than they would at lvl50 even using the same slotted IO.

(Note: Procs still work even when exemplared past 3 levels below the enhancement, so long as you have the power. So this would be be pretty easy to test.)


[edit; Also, I hate the mechanics of random rolls. lvl50 IOs are essentially useless to me.]

Even if the amount of damage differs from level to level, they can still get rid of the "levels" on proc recipes and have them work according to the toons level. I guess the only caveat would be when it comes down to random rolls, I figure that no matter what level range you roll at you'd have to have a chance at one of the many procs in the game. Or they can make a new random roll category just for procs.

I'd have to agree, and I think a lot of players do, too. I don't see why you can't specify the level on a random roll just as you can when buying a recipe directly.
