Nope, sorry.

Not directly, but you can go to the SuperGroup registrar and convert INF to Prestige whenever you want at a 500:1 ratio.

Considering that earning prestige is pretty closely tied to earning influence, I'm afraid not.

Not sure if this will help you but: before level 25 your influence doesn't take a hit compared to prestige earnt. So if you're looking to build a SG, you could run lots of lowbies? Not sure if that would be more effective than a 50 in SG mode.

It's a really lousy ratio.



But it's doable.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

What's the current ratio for a level 50 in SG mode for defeating minions? 200:1? I'll have to check.

Right. So once you've spent it, it's like you didn't earn it. :P Earn it and burn it!

My lvl 30 dom is level locked, so she doesn't earn xp. However, she still earns prestige during missions. You can get a prestige bonus by logging out at a base portal everyday and earning the base monitor day job.
I have my own base and have earned 2 mill prez between my brute and corruptor.
Bosses and Lts give the most prez, so if you can handle it, run +2x8.
I suggest not turning off xp tho, and just convert some of your money to prestige. Money is easy to earn, esp if you run tips and sell the IOs that you get from exchanging A-merits.
