Most useful SG badges for base TP?


Ad Astra

 

Posted

Hello everybody,

apologies if this is in the wrong section but it is about bases vaguely!

I am a non SG/Base user Badgehound that has taken over a small, but lovely, base from my player buddie who built it himself for his solo SG.

He has gone to the redside for a few months to experience all that that has to give. I am just baby sitting his base till he returns.

He has 3 teleporters fitted with the 6 lowest zones equipped as their targets.

Now my Buddy has been really good to me by way of help and advise and a few laughs over the years so I want to repay some of that by way of thanks.

So as a Badger I thought, why not get all the other zones explore badges and leave them to him (the SG) as a surprise when he eventually takes over again.

So can I get them, and then after we hand over and I leave, will they still be active for him to use?

If so what do you Guys think are the most useful zones to get ( I wondered about Crey's et cetera?) based on your SG's usage. With the Ferries and Trains now being merged I think most of the game is really easily accessed now. I will work on the badges in the best order as I might not get time to do them all.

I will appreciate any thoughts on the question, so thanks in advance for all reponses

Look four posts down (as of right now) at the "Best 12 Teleport destinations?" thread for some suggestions.

Remember that you will need to visit all the badge locations while in SG Mode for whatever zone you are gifting to him. Even if you have already gotten the badge individually, you have to get it again for the SG. And be warned - the message "Badge Received" won't show up for this second time around, so be very careful and pass over the location a couple of times to make sure it "takes".

As long as you get the badges/zones done while in SG Mode, they will be available to the SG even after you quit.

Honestly, I'd say, if you're going beacon hunting, you may as well just whirlwind the entire city. You'll come out of it with 22 beacons, roughly 70 merits. What's not to like?

THEN you can worry about picking and choosing the "best" ones.

This! I do this whenever I am building a base or sometimes just for fun. You can do it at just about any level with a little work. Ihave badged all of hero side with a level 14 toon with teleport, a jetpack and an invisibility empowerment. Only died twice. But some form of fly is essential in my opinion.

If you're a squishy or a lowbie (or worse, both), yeah. With fly, your spacebar becomes your "GET ME THE HELL OUTTA HERE NAO!" button.

Don't forget to hit the plaques while you're at it... they will eventually add up to badges... some that are needed for nifty accolades.
