My katana/wp, Trixi Chalk, lv 43.
Merits aside, those with blades need to know it unlocks the Rularuu swords. It's the only katana I lack.
How long does it take generally?
Edited to add:
Looked up the TF and here's a possibly spoilery outline. With you bringing the ill/ I'm guessing we might ghost a few of these [or whatever term CoH people use for ghosting, as I've run into several who don't know what I'm talking about.] Oh, and my katana/wp has no invis.
- Defeat 50 Soldiers of Rularuu in Foxtrot
- Resque Seven Explorers
- Defeat 50 Soldiers at Point Bravo
- Defeat 50 at Point X-Ray
- Rescue nine Explorers
- Defeat 25 Rularuu and 25 Crey in FBZ
- Rescue 5 Explorers
- Defeat 50 Crey in FBZ
- Defeat Base Leader at Point Echo [Ambush after Defeating Protector 100-100-1]
- Kill all at Crey Base 1 in ??? [ambush on second floor entrance]
- Ditto for second base, including ambush.
- Defeat all Crey at third base, no ambush.
- Kill Base Leaders at Crey Base 4. [ambush at 2nd floor entry]
- Founders Falls Crey Base. Kill Base leaders and get 8 samples.
- Brickstown Crey Base. Kill all.
- Perigrine Island Meeting. Kill Negotiators.
- Kill all at Nemesis Army Base in FBZ.
- Nemesis base at Point Alpha. Kill all.
- Shut down Crey Portal. Kill base boss. Two computers.

- Caves, sometimes in Talos. Kill all, 2 portals. Some CoT in the mix.
- Get Badge cause you rock.

It can take 3-4 hours on a great team, and 6+ on a slow team. Make sure you have flight or a flight pack as well...

I'll check the time left on my Raptor. Might have some inconvenience if it dies. If I die and hosp, will it take me back to FBZ if I'm in the shard. Otherwise, not sure how I'd get another Raptor.

You can buy one at FBZ.

If you die and hospital it, I think it takes you back to Peregrine Island. I don't think FBZ has a hospital area, but I might be mistaken. When in the shard it's always best to zone to your base if you die if you have one. That way when you exit the base it puts you right back in the same zone.|

You can buy a jetpack from the Jetpack Vendor to your left when you enter Firebase Zulu. Look on your map for him. They cost 10,000 inf.

I generally pick one up at level 2 there. My concern is my pack is far from fresh. And since I can't carry more than one...I'd need a way to get back to the vender in FBZ without flying. Self Destruct to PI would get me that.|

Irritating at most if it happens, probably not worth worrying about either.

If I'm not mistaken, you can delete temp powers from your list, and that allows you to buy a fresh one.

Falling off the edge in any of the Shard zones deposits you at the starting island of that zone - in FBZ you land back at the FBZ Base (where the vender is located) - in the other shard zones, you land at the starting island where the portal to the FBZ base is located. |

Also, dying & choosing the hospital route will put you in the FBZ Base Hospital, not PI.

I forget when that hospital was added, but I believe it to be within the last year or so.. I think when dayjobs were added maybe? That's why many people recall being sent back to PI. I still prefer using the Base option instead though unless I'd zone into the middle of a mob or I'm not too far out. lol

Nah, that's been there for a while. Longer than a year at least.

Groovy. No Worries.
Re: Base rather than Hosp.
Yeah, I could carry a recipe for the Jet Pack and craft it real quick. Though the delete and rebuy is what I'll do.
Might pick up some Rocket Boots and slap them on a costume so I look teh coolest as I fly about.
Quote:
The only reason I guessed a year is because I don't recall it being there when we did it on our first wave of our Freedom Horde Monday night TFs. I guess I just got into the habit of using Base so long ago that I wouldn't really have noticed when it was added. We'll have to ask our resident Shard expert, Eddie. He probably has the exact date it was added written down somewhere. lol|

They really should put it on the map.
I'll join you on my LvL 50 Blaster "Caliburst". I could use the merits.

Thanks all who joined this, it wasnt the quickest run based on my noobness knowlage of the TF, but was great to meet new people and after the TF was over, im sure everyone went to bed!
Thanks all again for the great run,

Thanks all, it was a fun run. So many missions that repeat on that TF, sure gets old fast, but we all trucked through it. I don't think I want to run one of those for a good year or so now. lol. Caliburst, you're an awesome blaster, I envy your badge list & am glad you joined us. Peace all!

Thank you for the kind words. I had a great time. It's always good to run with new and wonderful people, especially since my social outlet here has been shortened dramatically when the main people I used to play with quit COH, but I'm so loyal to this game that I'll never leave.|

I had fun, though if I realized the nature of the TF I would have brought a toon with some stealth. As it was, when you guys were off clicking stuff and smacking EB's, I'd surround myself with a bucket full of Council and just smack away at them with my Katana.
Can you imagine how long and horrible that would be if we weren't as powerful as we were?
was a good run , thought i was gonna die though...i think i'm still tired from it lol.
