You know why?

For the past several weeks, I've been collecting Brain Storm Idea salvage via the market. Not to use, just to have. I wanted 9999 of them. Just like I collected 9999 Mission Architect Tickets, and how I am still collecting Candy Canes from the market, so I can have 9999 of them. Why, yes I do in fact want the whole sets of all types of salvage! Except invention salvage, feh!

(And don't ask me just how I'm gonna manage get 9999 Reward Merits or 9999 Vanguard Merits... x.x)

My MasterMind went from 1.9 billion to 1.6 billion inf by my just snatching up Brain Storm Ideas. As I have a very limited amount of time to even be on this game nowadays, I was pretty sure it might take me a while to get that inf back.

Yesterday, I managed to squeeze in a bit time to run tip missions on my MasterMind. On one of those missions, I got a purple drop; from the Absolute Amazement set (I forgot which one).

I went to the market and bought up the salvage needed to craft it. Then I put the IO up on the market. I put it up for something like 150,000,000. Five minutes later, it sold for 200,000,000.

And now my MM is at 1.85 billion inf (Before you say that 1.6 + 0.2 = 1.8 and not 1.85, I must note that this wasn't the only recipe I crafted and sold, just the only purple recipe!).

I think we should all start flipping Candy Canes at ridiculous prices.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

One of my SG mates has tried to get to 9999 merits before. I think they were up around 2500 at one point.

I have one character that is at 1189. It's a long ways to 9999. If you were able to do 100 merits a day on the same character, then it's still over 3 months of solid work.

As for Vanguard merits... when I was getting the bomb and AV badges for the Mothership raid, I had over 1000 on Mouse Police. That's a very steep climb to 9999 too; you'd have to do regular MS raids for months I think.

What about Halloween salvage?

I would have sold you my entire pile of 3,182 Brainstorms for like... 100 million or something. oh well.

Wow. I really don't think I have that amount of time to devote to playing. Not unless I win the lottery or something so that I don't have to work, haha!

Collecting the max amount of Halloween salvage was easy, as you can only get a maximum of 99 each. I managed that a long time ago.

I used to have a hero on which I collected all blue side base salvage. I've slowly been moving that to my MasterMind, who is now a rogue, on whom I was also collecting base salvage on red side. That will also, finally, max me out on each type of component salvage (also 99 each). However, even though I'll be real real close to it, if I want 20 each of every type of base salvage, I'll have to burn yet more inf on the markets!

Oh well. It's only play money!

EDIT: This reminds me. Is there a max amount on how much prestige you can have marked as earned by any particular character? Beyond getting the Soulbound Allegiance, Apocalypse, Gladiator's Javelin and Ragnarok sets for this, my hoarding Robots/Traps MasterMind (before you ask, she already has the Luck of the Gambler Set), I don't know what else I can burn all that inf on. Oh wait, I guess I could get the Performance Shifter and Panacea procs for when Health and Stamina become inherent. Huzzah!

I'm doing the same on my main. I have all the brainstorms, candy canes, and many of the merits. I'm looking for 19 more of alot of base salvage though

My friend got to 9999 merits on his Widow. For awhile there he was having to roll before a sf just so he would actually get merits for them :P He's been buying vil merits every day since i18 and still has 8k+.

Plenty of people have. I've only gotten to about 6,000 reward merits and 7,000 Vanguard merits on one character. On the other hand, he has less than 200 candy canes. He did get to 9,999 brainstorms and he has 97 of each Halloween salvage.

Thank you, Champion.

A good raid will net you about 400-500 merits. That works out to about 20 hours of playing if you know your server's raid schedule.

Yeah, sorry I meant "purchasing" alignment merits. I just call them vil/hero merits :P
