Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

When I feel like getting Purps, I solo some AE arcs until I get one. Sometimes it takes me a few days running @ +1 x8 to get a Purp. Sometimes I get two in a night.

@ -1 and +0 I get too many lvl 49 and 48 recipes that aren't quite worth the increased speed (or so it feels). So I bump it up to +1.

I forget what the kill to Purp ratio is. It seems I heard 1500:1, 5000:1, and 15000:1.
I'm pretty sure it's not 15000:1. But I haven't kept track well enough to distinguish between 1500:1 and 5000:1.

I don't sell them though. I "hoard". I see them as an investment. They keep their value despite inflation. When I get ready to spend some money, I sell some Purps and buy what I want. In the mean time I am filling my storage.
One day I will sell enough at once to get my ebil monocle rights.
Would a screenshot of a full enhancement tray of Purps be enough to gain admittance to the ebil club?

I have gotten some in regular mishes and SFs too. So far, I haven't gotten any from an AE arc that was not a Devs Choice arc.

He means that in AE, only Dev Choice arcs can drop purples, since you can choose to get regular rewards instead of tickets. Outside of AE, anything level 47+ can drop purples.

Well, assuming I ever see a purple, I'll probably sell it if the prices stay as insane as they are. Why? Because I've never gotten good enough at the market to reliably buy them. Any that I get will be one lone piece of a set I'll never finish. Frankly, I'd rather have the inf to turn into prestige so that I can actually reach the point of having a functional base. (The base is fun, if frustrating, to mess around with, and benefits all my characters. A single purple drop currently isn't even a benefit to the character that has it, because I'll never complete the set.)

How?


A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Look, there are many people that are clueless when it come to this type of thing, you are not alone. This is why I wanted to shed some light on this, so people like you could better understand why things are they way they are. I said this was one of the reason not the only reason. Hope this helps

the religious nutjobs tell me that jesus exists and is historically true.

Historians tell me that christianity is a mishmash of several religions.
