Trading Prestige for Influence

I've just returned to COH after several years of haitus so forgive me if what I'm about to say is outdated. Since I'm starting new on Freedom I have no influence and thus can't buy enhancements. If I'm recalling correctly joining a SG and playing in 'SG mode' nets them a whole ton of prestige while higher levels can bring in influence faster than low levels. So I'm essentially selling my services to a SG. In exchange for always playing in SG mode I want enough influence to buy enhancements. Nothing more, I've no interest in crafting and the veterans benefits have given me plenty of free costume changes - I just need enough to get decked out in DO's at (12?) and SO's at (22?).

Anyway, if anyone is interested hit me up at @Shakhra. Party on, thanks for reading.

Just play the game and sell salvage. There is no way you won't have enough to get DO's and SO's at the appropriate levels. You'd be better off with just going for common IO's though.

With the new global email system, you can transfer funds to your global name to siphon off on another server. For instance, @Turgenev on Freedom emails himself 100M INF. He then rolls a toon on Guardian, and cashes in his 100M INF email. See this link for more info:

Cheers, and welcome back to COH.

Welcome back to the game. Both Turg and Disco's advice is sound. I roll new toons all the time, and have no trouble buy DOs or SOs based on regular game play and selling off drops I don't want at Wentworths. If you do as Turg suggests, just remember to claim what you have sent to yourself via email within 30 days otherwise it will be wiped from the email system. I'll try to send you some influence next time I log on as well.

Have fun and hope to see you in game.

okay, sent along a nest egg.

Assumed you were blue side, if not let me know and I'll log in a villain.

Wow, I had forgotten how friendly the CoH community is. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who sent me influence. I had some friends start up with me again so we all officially have enough to get all our enhancements. I'll check out the auction system as well, I remember when it came out it was sort-of weirdly complicated but I'll figure it out.

Thanks again all, my friends and I really appreciate it!
