Theft of Essence

Can you buy Theft of Essence with merit rewards? Or am I stuck trying to pick it up on the market?

It just as restricted as every other non-purple, non-PVP IO set.

So yes, you can with Merit awards, or with 1 or 2 A-Merits if you are hero or villain and have going Rogue.

You don't suck at picking it up at the market, that just happens to be one of the most rare recipes out there. Since so many people roll in the 35-39 pool and this recipe caps at 30 very rarely does new supply hit the market.

I've got a 75 million bid on a lvl 30 +end IO, that bid has been there late august.

The op said "stuck" not "suck"

If you want a completed IO, you need to up your bid. There's 32 available on the market, but for about 120 million or so. If you want the recipe, you could have easily gotten it for that price. The last 5 show sales within the past week for 36 to 45 million.

I picked up 3 for 26 million in the time he kept a 76 million bid up on the enhancers.

Thanks for all the replies, I wasn't looking under accurate healing, just healing at the merit vendor.

Wanted mine ASAP on my new Kin/Dark Scrapper, and so I used merits to buy a level 17 one. Seemed worth it when I saw that the recipe pretty much never sells in that range, and for a lot of cash. If it takes a few weeks, I don't mind, and I also don't mind it if it's not too expensive (I don't want too many recipes in the 10+ million range). But if it's taking longer than a few weeks or costs quite a bit of cash, I get it via merits.

Which is why I hate finding a build that needs more S/L defense, as Obliteration and Kinetic Melee have a lot of recipes that are rare and ridiculously expensive. You can get some of the set okay off the market, but not all of them.

Sadly, stealth recipes are getting to be like that too, for some reason. At least in the lower ranges I want so I have stealth for lower level TFs and SFs.

Procs like that are not level-linked; as long as you have the power they're in, you have the proc. Level of IO doesn't matter.

Unless you're using a lower level character, you don't need a lower level stealth. As long as the power is available, the stealth will work.

But the price on the lower level one's is simple supply and demand. Supply is low since people rush past the low levels and it won't drop as much, but demand is high as people want them as soon as possible.

Is it even possible to get a Stealth IO as a normal random drop? I thought that since it used to be a random task force only drop that the only way to get one now was via merits or tickets (either direct purchase or random roll).

Yes it will, thought what I actually meant (though I didn't word it that way, my bad) was that people won't random roll at that low level.

From the wiki page
"Also effective with Issue 14, these recipes have a chance to drop from boss class enemies. "
