Here's what I know
-You get it from clicking on the door, not defeating mobs.
-You need to be wearing a costume power (from the event or from a code)
-It doesn't matter if you already have 3 tips it will still drop.
-you should stay after mission complete and defeat the Praetorian Clockworks for that badge too.

I don't think you need Going Rogue to get them.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Pretty sure that the tips system is separate from GR, but the Morality system isn't.

The tip system has never been exclusive to GR, and has always been a part of I18.

The "wearing a costume" part seems to be the main thing catching people out.

It took me a while to get a costume power so that was killing me. So I killed the tricks in retaliation.|

I do recall now how much I hate ghosts and werewolves running off.

Do the costume temps from Darrin Wade and Faultline Arcs count too?

EDIT: 3 hrs 20 min in, first tip
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
--The Question, JLU
On test I got a tip very quickly, ran the mish, and then started trick or treating for another one, and after 1/2 hour gave up.
This morning I got a tip on the 2nd door.

Huh... I did not know this. I didn't notice any Praetorian Clockworks on the map. But then again, I didn't stay after Mission Complete to look around. I'll try this out when I log in again later. (O_O)

The timer you're rushing against doesn't stop at Mission complete. Waiting for the "Clockwork Arrival" is what I'm speaking of.

Oh! Yeah, I remember reading something about that in the objectives during the first time. For some reason I had forgotten about the "Clockwork Arrival" thing, and in subsequent missions to get the rest of the badges I had treated the timer as just the usual time limit needed to complete the mission or you'll fail. ^_^;|

Thanks Lemur Lad. Will be fighting some Praetorian Clockworks later.

Which is extremely irritating as the costume toggles off certain powers that make a big difference to survivability, arctic air being one of them.

No, those are special stealths if I recall correctly--not actual "costume powers" in the sense of the ToT mechanic.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Four pieces of halloween salvage
2 costumes
1 halloween tip (and run the mission. Went for the recipe the first time.)
It's random. *shrug*

I'm also pretty sure the costume code prizes won't work either.

And, y'know, Posi's confirmation, heh.
Dame Silverwing (50 Kat/SR Scrapper) Virtue
Professor Bikini (50 Bots/Dark MM) Virtue
Dame Silver Fury (41 Peacebringer) Virtue
Operative Velvet (50 Fortunata) Virtue
Petal Dancer (35 Plant/Kin Contoller) Virtue
Tanegashima (Rapidly levelling DP/Ice Blaster) Virtue
(and more)
That's weird, as those codes are permanent, right? I would've thought the game would recognize them as different from the temp Halloween ones.

3 hours - in costume almost from the start, 27 salvage, 13 costume temp powers... no tip. My wife got one on like the 3rd treat.
I did get to bag Jack in Irons in Brickstown though so that was good. (thanks for helping DR and everyone else that might be here in the forums).
