High pain threshold Accolade and Gangbuster badge


Angelxman81

 

Posted

I just need to kill 200 Family bosses to get the Gangbuster badge, the last badge I need to get the high pain threshold Accolade.
I have a doubt. Can I create a mission in AE with only Family bosses to defeat them and get the badge, I mean, do mobs in AE count for defeats badges?

AE missions don't count for ANY badges at all (except AE-specific badges). Even the damage, healing and Inf earned while in an AE mission does not count toward the badges.

On a side note, make sure you are fighting Marcone bosses. People typically hunt for this badge in NE St. Martial.

Just what I though... Ok, thank you for the answer and the advice

Oh if only AE foes did count......or at least in AE we need quintuple the amount of kills to help slow down the farmers...

No, you will need to either patrol around Port Oaks and blast all Marcone bosses that you find or for better results patrol the northeast area of St. Mart where you can at times get 2 bosses per group. St. Mart tends to provide faster farm time for that badge, my formerly evil blaster plowed his way through that area.

It's faster to do it in po because of lower level. Make a macro to target Marcone and look for Marcone Cappo or Marcone Consiglierie's.

It's debatable which zone (St. Martial or Port Oakes) is better for the Gangbuster badge. The NE corner of St. Martial may indeed have more Marcone bosses to find. But because they are so much higher level than the ones you find in Port Oakes it'd definitely be harder for a non-damage oriented support/squishy type AT.

Just a few days ago I managed to run a circuit around in Port Oakes between the center north and SE sections of the map with my level 50 controller. She was able to one-shot every boss she found and managed to finish Gangbuster in about 3 hours. The cool part about doing that badge in Port Oakes is that I was able to switch up hunting ghosts at night to finish up those badges at the same time.

My formerly evil now good again blaster took about 90 minutes to hunt down and wipe out the bosses in St Mart. But mileage varies.

There are two other areas where you can find Family bosses (albeit these areas aren't as good as St.Mart and PO):

Nerva - around ferry. Both Consiglierie and Underboss count toward Gangbuster badge.
Sharks - around Villa Requin.

I agree. I've certainly never had it take even close to 3 hours in St. Martial either... even while solo.

Either way, as pointed out, a character that might not be higher level or doesn't solo well might want to check out Port Oakes. It's worth a shot anyway.

I wouldn't exactly define a blaster as "a non-damage oriented squishy type AT."

Squishy maybe However my blaster's current build is a bit.....overamped for damage. Still it's nice to be back on the light side of the Force as it were in terms of alignment, I need to send it into the revised Tina and Maria arcs for Praetorian Clockwork and Seers.

I was on my 30ish thug/pain mm so I had to do it in po but with fly and the targetcustomnext macro it took less than 2 hours for me.

My alt is a rogue lvl 40 Night Widow.
I will try to get the badge in those zones. I will post again when I got it.
Thank everyone for the advices

No problem. I tend to wait until my alt is L40+ then cruise St Mart for the Marcone. Since the accolades were fixed long ago to exemp to any level instead of being level locked, I no longer prioritize getting them ASAP.

Heh, I remember using alts of mine and some pals to get Invader on newly rolled alts.....

I've used both areas (PO and St. Martial), and I'm firmly convinced that St. Martial is much faster, regardless of AT/build, due to the much higher number of bosses that spawn there (at times I can target as many as 8 in succession without changing my toon's viewpoint).

Yes, the Port Oakes bosses are easier to kill, but due to the relative scarcity of them there, I think that, even considering the need for a few extra hits to defeat, St. Martial is the way to go.

Best of luck to you on your hunting, Angelxman81!

Well again I look at it as taking 3 hours in Port Oakes to get 5 badges, not just 1 (Gangbuster, Pirate, Night Haunt, Spectral and Red Hand) because while I'm hunting Marcone bosses I can easily switch over to trapping ghosts when it gets dark.

So yeah if you just want Gangbuster then St. Martial might be the best place for it.
But I'm looking at the "big picture" here as far as badging goes. YMMV.

Heh for the ghosts I find it good to use Ouroborus to set my alt to L20. High enough level to face the ghosts without being owned by them, just hi enough that they won't try to flee if I were at L50, and just high enough level that I am not one shot killing them when they are out of trap range.

Took my L50 evil blaster about an hour to obtain both ghost badges that way.

My method earned me 5 defeat-type badges on average once every 36 minutes. That was good enough for me.

Well Im a 39 month veteran, but very casual.
Never used set bonuses IOs, and never cared about badges or accolades...
Till now.
How do you guys manage to find all those bosses? I cant find them well.
I got vidiot maps installed.

Just keep patrolling around the buildings in the northeast area of St Mart. Near the buildings is some ground with Dev Earth so be careful.

bind or macro "targetcustomnext consig" is very helpful to target Family bosses in St. Mart

So is there any mission that can spawn a lot of these bosses?

You want the area called "The Flop" for the largest concentration of bosses.

Based on my experience. Today I earned both Gangbuster badge and HP threshold accolade.
It took less than 1 hour, I was running aroun The Flop in St Martial, and teaming with a lvl 50.
Now going hero and getting Jockey portal accolade
Thanks everyone for the advices.

I think there are one or two missions in Sharkhead that can be used, also the next to last mission of the Leviathan/Sharkhead SF has Marcone in it.
