Incarnates Question

Quick question about Incarnates for those out there who are doing the Incarnate thing...

How much of a time investment is it (generall) to fully "incarnate" your toon? Reason I ask is this;

From what I am reading/hearing, it's quite the timesink/grind to incarnate out a toon. I have like 15 or 16 50s... is it best to just concentrate on 1 or 2 and forget the rest or is it reasonably doable to gear them all up?

Danke!

P.S. Turbo is a noob.

Well end game never really ends :P I'd just go slowly, start with a toon or 2. Also try shooting for tier 3's, and just let tier 4's happen when they happen.

(Lawl. Removed my incarnate progress cause Verene said I was bragging XD) Anywhos.... yeah, just run the trials when you're in the mood.

I've only done it on two characters and I consider the process largely complete when you have both incarnate level shifts. I've gotten about four of my tier fours since. The time until I had the double ilevel shifts was about two days of fairly casual trial running (three or four a day) on each character. The second would have taken longer but I burned threads for iXP.

I like the trials so three or four runs a day isn't bad for me, but even if you just do one a day you should have the level shifts in a week or so. BAF tends to be more popular, at least on Triumph, but getting iXP from it can be slower going.

When the next patch goes live and you can downgrade uncommons into commons you need, I expect things will go a bit faster.

Thanks for the replies/advice/help. And a thank you to those in game who have helped point me in the right direction. I think I have a better understanding of what's involved.

So does anyone run any of the level 50 TFs anymore? I've logged in a couple of times over the past week or so and can't seem to find any takers for an ITF/STF/LGTF/whatever. Has the game turned into BAF farming?

There's been other TF runs, but the majority of folks are still content with grinding away at the Trials for the moment.


Don't I know you???

This may be due to the way people run the BAF on your server.

Much of the iXP comes from the ambush spawns. If you pull Siege and Nightstar to the area near the helipad where the adds spawn, your controllers/dominators can lock them down immediately and your AoE damage dealers from all teams can take them out.

That will ensure an equitable distribution of iXP.

Define "Fully"

Burning a bit of inf on the way and turning all my merits into threads, I hit 50+3 after about 10 Trials (doable in 5 days, if you're hardcore enough) working from a level 50+1 Grav/Storm.

You could probably get the alpha level shift by only running 2 trials per day in about 7 days, assuming you manage to get 3 rare drops from your trial runs.

If you want to collect all purplez, plan on maybe 3-4 months of grinding trials, or less if you get lots of lucky purple incarnate drops.

People are now going to be grinding the next trial when it goes live. From the looks of it, I think it will be slightly tougher then Lambda and similar to B.A.F.

but it will unlock ixp from all the slots so it might be more popular.

Unless it's a lot slower at giving the iXP.
