How do you Farm Inf?..

Took a month to get enough A-merits for Glad Armor Proc but it was well worth it. A softcapped /shield brute on a itf...ridiculous.

If you want inf sell lotg 7.5 on the market or miracle +recovery if below 50. Everyone needs them so demand is constant

Through a combination of farming in AE (not just for tickets/inf, but to help SG mates level as well) and marketeering I can rake in at least 1b inf/week if I try. I don't try most times, though, since I think 5b or so is enough generally.

1: Get a character to 20
2: Run tips to be able to get hero or villain merits
3: When at a level that is a multiple of 5 do random reward rolls (5 recipes per roll)
4: Craft recipes
5: Sell crafted enhancers on market
6: Profit

When the character is between multiples of 5, use alignment merits to buy one of the more desirable special enhancers at its lowest possible level (Stealth, Numina Unique, LotG Global Recharge for example), and sell the crafted enhancer for a nice tidy sum.

No sense letting the merits rack up, since there is a timer between purchases anyway.

One thing I didn't notice anyone addressing for the OP is his alignment status -- he indicated that his toon is a Rogue, which means that he CAN'T acquire Alignment Merits (because AMs are limited to only the two "pure" alignments, Hero and Villain).

If you do the 10 Alignment Missions and then the 1 Morality mission every other day, however, you will gain 60 Reward Merits instead of the 1 Alignment Merit rewarded to Heroes or Villains.

Arent the LoTG's only like 200 ish Merits?... seems faster than trying to make the 5 A-Merits

I'd like to start this by saying that I'm also extremely sucky with market "play" to make money, so that's not an option for me as well.

I find that BUYING the A-merits with 50 reward merits and 20 mil inf on 3 or so characters every day (I run a ton of TFs) and then buying LotG Globals or Miracle Uniques (usually the lowest level ones sell higher, but sometimes they're just about the same price as the level capped ones..check before you buy) every two days and selling those is a great way to make money while not having to commit the time or energy to do the tips everyday.

Personally what I do is hoard the AMs on one character because I have toons that need the Glad Armor unique, have two toons buy LotG/Miracle uniques with AMs and then put them on the market, and a fourth toon that simply rolls the AMs it gets and sells the profitable recipes that I can via the roll.
I buy my rare salvage with AE tickets. My blaster can make 9999 tickets in 30-40 minutes (Running at +2/*8), so not only it saves me a lot of inf buying the rare salvage, I'm also making money while getting those tickets and sometimes helping friends level their toons (if I have a lowbie with me I run at +4/*8, more XP for the lowbie and more tickets for me since now I'm sharing my ticket drops with the lowbie).
Also, when I'm leveling a toon via AE I always use my tickets to buy rare salvage and store it in my base while leveling (I don't roll for recipes with tickets until the toon is 50) which also helps quite a bit.

No, you cannot get into either Fort Trident (hero) or The Crucible (villain) as a rogue and that is where the vendors are who sell the A-Merits. You also lose any A-Merits you already have when you change alignments.

@ the OP.

I don't farm for inf. It'll come but not as fast as farming for recipes. I use an Elec/SD scrap or a Fire/Kin troller (yes, its still one of the best farmers) to farm the BM map. I set it to 0x8. 4x8 is gonna get more inf per kill but takes longer so i just go for speed and drops. Random is random BUT the more 50s you kill the higher your chances of getting purples to drop. I got 3 thurs night in 1 run. 2 hold recipes and 1 targeted aoe.

I also use AE for tickets. I use them just for random rolls. I use a SS/Fire brute and a Stone/Fire brute to farm with. I run that one at +3x8 ( mainly cause im pling my other account) but after i hit the cap of 1500 tickets i reset. I roll 10-14 bronze, 25-29 and 35-39 silvers.

I don't use the market for "niches". I don't like buying recipes and crafting to resell. It bores me. I don't even craft all of my ticket rolls. Theres such a depleted market on certain items that my recipes sell for as much as crafted so i don't bother crafting. You don't have to be a market guru or read guides. I've made 10's billions and purpd out several toons on 2 accounts just by selling my drops at WW. And that's not counting the stuff i keep. I currently have 27 purples in a bin and 13 lotg 7.5 rechs. waiting on a couple of toons once i hit 50.

It really depends on your goal and how much free time you have. Run a quick farm or 2 then team or TF or whatever you normally do.

Titan Sentinel has an option to automatically export your build from in-game to a Mid's data chunk. So, with one click you can copy/paste your build to Mid's. You can get it from the Titan Network, which is now connected to Mid's, City Info Terminal, Paragon Wiki, and others.

Ive read about there being mods for CoX... Other than using mids... I play al natural... what kinda fun stuff could i be using to enhance my gaming pleasure?

Access to both sides of the game is the main advantage that Rogues and Vigilantes have over full Heroes or full Villains, who are confined to their respective sides.

A Rogue/Vigilante can team with anyone on either side of the game and can do (almost)* any Task Force that happens to be forming.

By contrast, the advantage to remaining a 'pure' Hero or Villain is the ability to accrue Alignment Merits and having what most players agree are superior Alignment powers (though personally I like Duplicity, the Rogue power, very much).




*the exception being the Ouroboros pseudo-Task Forces, technically story arcs run in TF mode, which are based out of Ouroboros itself. As there are two distinct versions of Ouroboros (one heroic, one villainous), a Rogue cannot participate in a heroic Ouroboros TF since he/she can't get to that Ouroboros. Using an O-Portal will instead transport the Rogue to the villainous Ouroboros. Still, the Ouroboros pseudo-TFs aren't run all that often and only one takes place at 50, so for all intents and purposes being a Rogue/Vigilante gives you a huge flexibility in terms of the TFs, Trials and regular teams you can join.
