Best levels to cash-in Allignment Merits?

If you have that many and are still collecting more, financially your best option might just be buying one or two (depending how many merits you end up with, and I forget if those are 30 or 35 merits?) Glad Armor TP/+Def pieces and selling off market for over 2 billion. Buying LotG's at 2 merits a pop and selling on the market for 100m-200m inf is lucrative as well.

I dunno if I would random roll with that many. It would take forever - you can only do one transaction per 20 hours - and you might make more or you might make less, but it would definitely be a slow and tedious process.

Edit: I just realized you meant you are LEVEL 45, not that you have 45 purple merits. So maybe you don't have as many as I thought?

The only things I want at level 40 cap out there (Impervium Armor set for example) so I agree with your levels and I from 36-49 I save up for rolling at 50.

Are people still buying that Gladiator Armor thing for that much? Why? Why don't they just do their Allignment merits and save billions?

Yes, I'm level 45. I don't have 45... I think I've got about 12, which is a lot when you consider that it's 132 missions-worth. (Well, one may have been bought because I was curious).

OK with 12 then it may be worth it to roll, or just buy six Lucks, or combination of the two. I agree that 30, 33, or 35 might have been better but since you're past that, probably 50 is at least as good or better than 45 or anywhere in between.

I think the reason people still pay that much vs. using A merits is because (A) it takes around a month (edit: Actually two months unless you buy some, in which case factor in the 50 merits and 20m for each one you bought - fastest possible would be 20 days for 30 A-merits, meaning 20 bought for 1000 merits and 400m inf, plus 10 earned) to get than many A merits and (b) there's so much inf floating around you can make that much on the market in a week or two with probably less effort.

Interestingly, if you buy 15 Lucks with those 30 A-merits and sell them at 150m inf each, you end up with 2.25b inf. Which means either use of those A-merits has about the same value. And again I might be wrong, that Glad Armor piece might be 35 merits which could get you two more Lucks. So call it 2.5b and a random roll.

Of course I'm just thinking out loud here, so if there's something I'm forgetting/missing someone please do point it out.

I love when people answer their own questions. 1 Gladiator's is 30 merits is 330 missions-worth.

Oh. I had no idea it was that many.

I haven't done much at all then!
