Earning the Time Portal

Because I can't spell Ourobous (sp?), I'll call it the time portal--that nifty yellow gateway you can start using at lvl 25 if you've earned it. I've read all through paragonwiki and looked at the forums on how to earn it, but it always points people to using tricks such as guildmates. My understanding is that you get access to it by completing an arc that is related to time travel. So my question is this:

What is the lowest level mission arc and who is the contact so I can earn the portal for each side?

Thank you for your replies.

Heroside: do the faultline mission arcs. You can have the portal by 21 or 22.

Villainside: ... Honestly, I've always gotten somebody to drop me a portal when I've gotten to 25.

You can get it blue side by doing the fualtline story arc at level 15. Not sure about red side as i do not play villians that often.

Legend has it that it was granted to a sole villain and he has passed it down to all of us.

The Faultline arcs start at level 15, but you can't start Doc Delilah's arc (the first of the two Faultline arcs that would award the portal) until level 20.

Yeah, that's what the OP was referring to as "using tricks such as guildmates". You can't get that badge to give you the power until you have already gotten *TO* Ouroboros - i.e. someone has to open a portal for you.

Just wanted to add 2 things.
1: You can actually get the portal as early as lvl 1, if you're in a team running the Doc Delilah arc. Okay, you'll probably level up a couple times along the way unless you just join at the very end, but you get the drift.
2: Regardless of what level you pick the power up, you still cannot use the portal that you create until you have trained to lvl 25 (and I want to stress the trained part, because simply having leveled will not trigger the portal to let you in). Others who are above lvl 25 can still use your portal with impunity.
One last bit to add to the discussion in case people reading this might not know... your portal closes the second you enter it, but any number of people can use your portal without causing it to close. If at all possible, let all of your teammates use your portal before entering it, in case no one else can open one (this is especially for TFs where time is an issue).

Also, if you're lucky enough to be a member of an SG/VG with a base that has the Ouro Crystal in it (can't remember the exact name of the crystal) you can use it (after level 25) to access a flashback mission. If you don't have the Ouro Portal summoning power yet, you will get it once you complete a mission using the SG/VG Ouro Crystal.

You can also join a level 25+ supergroup mate/teammate doing Flashback missions from their base Pillar, badge missions or arcs that are lower level, whose minimum level you qualify for. For example, a level five can tag along on a level 25+ doing Wincott's arc (level 5-10 or something), and get the Ouro Portal that way.

Seriously, spell check doesn't even recognize the actual spelling.

According to Wikipedia and Google, it's "ouroboros".

Feel free to keep misspelling it. Add enough O's and most folk realize what you mean.

We real life people, whose main method of communication is spoken, can't spell it. Flower Knight, being a videogame character whose main method of communication is text, can't pronounce it.

Amusing coincidence?

I got it on a level 10 hero during the 6 year event when she got the badge for Black Scorpion.

And I often pronounce and spell it as Ourburritos (whereas Orenbega is either Boonga-Boonga, Orangebagel, or Orangeburger.

If you missed the Faultline arcs (or simply don't want to do them) it's pretty easy to get someone to drop a portal for you. If you go somewhere with plenty of people (the Wentworths in Talos or Steel are good options) and ask politely in local chat someone will almost always open a portal for you.

There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
