Level 38 Character making money off Hero Merits
The tradition seems to be Luck of the Gambler +7.5% recharge. It seemed to me last time I browsed that the L25 recipe sold for more than the L50 recipe, but that may have been a brief and transient thing. Or an open secret of the market. Who knows? Certainly not me.
Level 25 Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Global Recharge is always a safe bet. Also, level 20 Miracle: +Recovery and Numina's Convalescence: Regeneration/Recovery.
Luck of the Gambler is worth more at a lower level because the difference in enhancement values will only make a difference of 0.5%-1% extra defense in most powers, but the level 25 will work while exemplared to 22, while the 50 will only exemplar to 50, meaning that the 25 is almost always better.
Because the Miracle and Numina use Proc rules, the only reason that a lower level one is better is that you can slot it earlier, so the price variation isn't nearly as big.
If you're making a direct purchase with any kind of merits for any IO with a special effect, it's always best to get the lowest level possible; the effect will be the same, but the IO will usually be useful more often.

Wow, I was tired when I posted that, but I didn't think I was that tired. Yeah, I meant to type 47.

I got a character that can get up to Level 40 Recipes with their Hero Merits. So anyone got suggestions as to which Recipes level 40 recipes (Or lower!) would make good money? Seems better to sell an expensive one and buy a few cheap Set Pieces for my main character than to pick up bits of Kinetic Combat for the main, but not sure what'd be worth looking at to get a good amount!
And I might as well ask for hints on level 50 ones while I'm here, though PvP IO's are a bit out of my sight for now.
