The 500+ Merit Question...

Evening ebil ones!

My Kin/Sonic Defender (level 41) is quickly closing on 500+ Merits (431 at the moment) and I am at a quandary...

Do I:

i)Transfer a bunch of inf to her, and then convert to Hero Merits for more random rolls (seems very inefficient) for my build or...

ii)Cash in all the Merits in the 35-39 range, sell the unneeded stuff and then go from there.

To be clear, I'm going to need several BOTZ KB, a couple LOTGs and other assorted items I can likely gather on my own; buying the BOTZs seems...counterproductive as I might be able to simply Market for the inf to acquire them. Transferring them into Hero Merits seems unpalatable at this point, but I'm certainly willing to hear people out on the issue.
Also, the Merits will be rolled once I reach level 50...


At this point, rolling the Merits on randoms seems to be my "safe bet", rolling in the 35-39 range.

Any thoughts?

If you were to roll only for BotZ, I would recommend 10-14 range. It gives more chances for BotZ than any other range. There is also good chance to get Basilisk, Shiled Breaker, Eradication and Theft of Essence.

You might want to split 50%-50% between 10-14 and 35-39 ranges

One thing to remember about the BotZ KB is that with a random roll, it's going to be at your level. If you exemp a lot, it won't be as useful, since it will stop working at more than 3 levels below the level of the IO.

If you're going to be random rolling, you are always going to be better off using HAM/VAMs than straight merits. Selling the dross will pay for the 20M per merit to convert.
