Lvl 30 Hero Costume Mish (no lvl 30 Crey to be found)

Hey everyone, I'm on my lvl 31 Electric Magic Blaster (Thunderfang, on Champion) which is currently my highest level character so far, trying to find some level 30 crey to kill for the costume slot but all i can find is purple or red. I been to founder's falls and crey's folly, but most of the time it's either rikti or 5th column i find. When i see a crey it's too high level. I tried getting radio missions for grey but it only gives me arachnos, council, or sky raider missions. Please don't tell me i have to team up. I'm a soloist. I've teamed a few times but i prefer going at it alone. A demonstration on what i can handle; I can manage to take out a yellow elite boss but will die once and have to rez to finish it off. Anything less then that i could solo without death unless i get too much aggro.

Brickstown, from the tram to the entrance. Usually some pretty big 30-31 groups, too. (Well, mix of big and small, check the parking structure just behind the station, too.)

See my Guides and Tutorials

Generally within a 2 block radius of the Train station in Brickstown has low level Crey employees. I usually go to the apartment complex across the street from the Train station.

If you're feeling extra-brave, you can head into Crey's Folly and fight the tough crey dudes there. And you'll also be there at some point for your Aura mission as well.

Also, I like that name, Thunderfang. Good ring to it!

Thanks. I found some crey in the area around the tram in brickstown like mentioned.

I picked the name "ThunderFang" because i use electric, and i tried to look like a fox-like character. I have a villain who looks like a rat too. Just use the rat ears/tail, breather mask #4, and the bonehead face mask. Scale the face so its pointy, and presto. The rogue isles is a good place for a mutant rat to live anyway.

For future reference, if you prefer to not hunt in the streets and prefer to stalk easier Crey, go to work for Phillipa Meraux (one of your contacts should introduce you).

She gives out the Corporate Culture arc, which has a lot of Crey.

1) Are you a soloist because of bad experiences, or because you philosophically prefer it? (if the former, I may have advice; in the latter case, I respect your preferences.)

2) The usual cure for really tough enemies is inspirations and lots of them. Take four purples [or if you buy from Wentworth's, two mediums will do the same] and when those run out, take four more. That's two minutes of bulletproof. There are also a lot of temp powers that may help, but those are potentially expensive. (It's easy to make money, but you didn't ask for that particular sales pitch.)

Agreed with the above, Brickstown is best for lower Crey mobs - but it sounds like you might have issues with the mob sizes. Inspirations are a good idea (3 small purples at once to pump up your defence should do it, with a green or two on backup just in case).

Alternatively, what I've done with some of my squishier alts is simply wait a couple of levels to do the mission which makes it MUCH easier.

...as someone quicker than I mentioned, you've got the aura mission at level 30 as well, from the City Hall rep in Atlas Park. That requires you go beat on some Rikti, some Crey and some Devouring Earth - that one WILL be a pain in the backside at level 30. Crey's Folly is the best place to find all 3 quickly but you'll definitely want to take inspirations along or try and outlevel it first.

I either wait to 34ish or do the bricks rooftops near the Crey's gate. It's easier to run away if they're on a roof as they like to take the fire escapes and I'll just jump off if things get heated. Lots of nice fences in the are for sneaking up on those backyard spawns.

Or, just wait a few levels.

Inspirations are the key for blasters. Just buy a bunch of purples and reds and go to town.

People still do these missions? Weird. I usually just auto-complete them.

You can auto the entire extra-costume arc or just the individual hunts?
