Respec Trials

Simple question that I haven't really tested before:

Can I do three Respec Trials back to back and still get a respec out of every one of them? How about if I ran the same one (Say the Rikti Trial) three times in a row? Or do I have to wait 18 hours between runs to get more respecs?

Simple answer: yes. There is no timer on respec rewards - you can run all three trials back to back if you wish and still get the rewards if you are eligible for them.

Slightly more complex answer: Respecs are gated by the level of the character, [b]not]/b] by the specific Respec Trial that you do. So, a character who is level 24 or higher is eligible to earn one respec. A character who is level 34 or higher is eligible to earn another respec. A level 44+ character can get yet another respec. Put another way, a level 50 character who has never previously run a respec trial can earn three respecs by doing any of the respec trials three times. Whether you do the first-tier respec trial three times, do each trial once, or some combination, it doesn't matter in the least. You can even do a respec trial or two, change alignments, and do a respec trial on the opposing side to earn your other respecs (up to a sum total of three respecs earned from Respec Trials per character).

You can earn up to six respec badges (one for each of the three hero-side respec trials and one for each of the three villain-side respec trials), but you can only earn three respecs on each character (from doing Trials, anyway - there are numerous other ways to earn respecs).

I don't believe this will be true until I20, however.

Each trial has a reward table, and when you select a reward, you cannot select that same reward (or in the case of Merits, get diminished rewards for repeating it) for 18 hours.

So yes, you could run the Rikti respec three times and get three respecs from it - bit not all in the same day.

Ran the respec trial last night. Even though *I* could probably survive it, I think most players would rather gnaw their own arm off than run that thing three times in a row.

there were a few loopholes around this since GR was released, my main currently has 5/6 of the respec badges (will have to wait till i20 for the last one)

Yes, but only for toons that hadn't claimed one or more of the respecs as a reward, so that's apparently not WAI. The flat statement that the badges are all attainable by one toon is currently not correct, and won't be until I20 hits.

I was sorely tempted to make use of that little "trick" in order to get a few more badges but I read an obscure post by one of the Devs like a month or so after GR came out that implied the Devs were "aware" of the situation and were going to come up with a better solution. Thankfully we only had to wait until I20 for that better solution.
