Help with TIPS

So I have what seems(at least to me anyways) like an odd problem. I have been trying to take my brute over to hero side. I got him to Rouge with no problems, then I went into PI and started running radio missions. I have been running at +1x6. The problem I have is that after about 1.5 months I have not gotten a single tip to drop. I can join a team and make progress to full hero but no drops to my toon.

I then tried going back to Grandville and after one paper mish I had 2 tips. Now I didn't have the option to go hero in g-ville so I went back to PI and my tips disapeared until I went back to the Rouge Islands. The same thing happens when I get tips in Cimeroa(sp?) and try to bring them to Paragon City.

So in short, I am a rouge right now and can earn tips in the Rouge Islands and Cimeroa(sp?) but I can't access those tips in Paragon City. Also, even if I clear all my tips then go to hero side I still can not earn new tips there. Now I have gotten to my 10 tips to move to full hero but I can't seem get a morality mish to make it final. Anyone ever come across this before? Any ideas on how to fix it? I have two accts so I thought about 2-boxing a morality mish from another toon but not sure if that will work. Really stuck right now, and when I try to contact a GM for help I get told that random drops are random. If anyone can help out with this, or you need more info about it please let me know. Thanks in advance

you need to be do tips in paragon city to transition to full hero from the rogue alignment. those in the rogue isles will only keep you a rogue or transition you back to villain.

the bigger issue may be what you're fighting in paragon city. i've never had a problem getting tips, i run around until i find a boss, defeat it and the surrounding mob (as long the mobs are lvl 20+) and i eventually get a tip (at most a few mobs). you have a much higher chance getting a tip drop from bosses than the other lower ranks, so concentrate on that.

oh, and by paragon city, i mean the city zones. not cimerora or RWZ. go to talos or PI. you shoudn't need to run radios to get tips either but i can't see why you wouldn't get a drop if you're doing radios with bosses enabled.

hope that helps.

PS: do you have other arcs still open? i don't know if that matters, especially if you can get tips redside already.

Go to Dark Astoria. If you haven't gotten a tip within 20 minutes of AOE Zombie Death then there's something seriously wrong.



I completed my Rogue to Hero last night based in PI, I was one tip short and got it from 20 mins of picking on grey conning bosses (Warhulks mostly as they're easy to spot) in the zone.

I had the same problem with my widow. I got over 3 levels running radio missions and never got one.

Eventually, I got on a team running hero missions and then they started dropping normally. It's like something was jammed and I needed to complete a hero mission to break it free.

I was running radio missions in PI for about 6 weeks at +1x6 with bosses on. I also tried street sweeping every now and then as well. I only had one open mish from redside at the time and I deleted all the tips missions I got redside before trying blueside. It was as if I could get a tip anywhere in the game except for blueside. At this point I am going to try and 2-box a morality mission to see if I can get to full hero status. Hopfully that works because I'm pretty much all out of other options

i would try what rsclark said.

try running normal hero content with other people first and see if that helps.

Well, 2-boxing worked. I thought it might but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. Anyways thank you all for the quick replys. Nice to know I wasn't the only one this was happening to
