Merits

What's the best way to spend merits on a level 50, saving up and cherry picking the good stuff, or is there a random drop level range/rarity level that has a good output?

Market's in flux right now.

Hero/Villain Alignment merits seem to be the best choice for rewards- you can trade 50 reward (old-style) merits and 20 million inf for [roughly] 100 reward merits worth of stuff. Two HVAMs gets you a supershiny, like a LoTG +Recharge, while one HVAM gets you five random rolls.

What does "in flux" mean? earlier this week I was flipping Regenerative Tissue +Regens, buying for 26 million and selling for 70 million. Nobody knows what anything's worth. A few things are settling down (numina healing, c. 30 million) but there's at least one thing where I'm setting the price all by myself, because I've generated and sold all the 30-37 recipes of that type since Going Rogue went live.

Is five randoms better than one ideal item? I don't think anyone knows. I like the five randoms, but that may just be personal preference.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

interesting, thanks for the reply, seems like I'll be holding onto my merits for now.

however, regardless of whether you do random rolls or buy specific IOs at a specific level, it's cheaper to do so with the new H/V A-Merits. you may want to consider exchanging your regular merits for the new merits and you can only convert 1 per 20 hour period.

so if you have a large stash of regular merits, you may want to gradually convert them over to the new merits while you are waiting

Yeah sounds like it's the way to go, I'll probably start converting as I make my way to 50(looking at prices it seems waiting till 50 is better than staying in the low 40's).
