Vanguard Merits

Hi, I am a returning player, and was wondering about Vanguard Merits, and specifically how do you get the costumes and weapons?

I have no idea what merits are, and I am guessing that is based on some type of accomplishment, so what lvl would you recommend attempting to get the sets

Note: Scrapper interested in Vanguard Broadsword (& costume pieces)

Step 1 - Any time after reaching level 35, go to the Rikti War Zone and get the introduction to Vanguard arc from Levantera. That enables you to earn merits.
Step 2 - Do missions involving Rikti. Any time you defeat a Rikti, you have a chance (10%) to get 1 or more merits (1 for minion, 2 for lieut, 3 for boss).

Optional Step 3 - Get in a Mothership Raid and earn 100-400 merits in a half hour or so.

For the record, Vanguard Merits and Reward Merits are not the same thing.

Reward Merits are earned for story arcs, task forces, and defeating Giant Monsters.

Vanguard Merits are earned for defeating Rikti (after reaching level 35 and running Leventara's arc)

No one had mentioned it, so I figured I'd point out the difference.

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

If you have both dayjob powers fully charged, you can earn three on every complete. Once you've earned the badge, though, you can no longer charge the lesser one.
