Issue 21 badges

It's not a new badge, but there's a very positive change for the Legacy Chain defeat-based Gladiators in Issue 21. There are around 18 spawns of Legacy Chain, each with a Lt., in Mercy Island near Fort Darwin in a couple of areas. One set of these, the ones guarding the little vortices, are mission-critical, and should thus respawn very quickly. That's going to make those badges much quicker.

Were those a problem? Two runs of Binder of Beasts and you get that badge.

My main badger is staying a rogue until I21 for this and the low level villain badges.

I had been considering running Vincent Ross' arc again for Legacy Chain; you can defeat a bunch in the last mish. But, with I21 coming soon, I'm waiting to make it easier.


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

My main has run Binder of Beasts as well as various arcs with Legacy Chain in them. The minion gladiator is set for 100 defeats, but the lt. is set at 200. It just takes time to get them, especially if the rest of the team doesn't want to kill all.

On most servers, it's hard to find a team to run Tarikoss once, even if it's the WST. Villain side is slow. Aside from that, I did it twice and still had to farm Tarixus' arc to finish that badge off. It must be nice to have random spawns line up with enough Lts.so predictably. I wish that my experiences matched that.

First mission is a kill all with nothing but Legacy Chain. If you run 2 BoB with a team of 8 you'll probably get those two badges.

I play on Defiant only, so trust me, I know what a low pop server feels like. However, I don't see villain side as being slow, but YMMV.

That being said, good thing more ways of getting that badge are being introduced.

52

Perhaps a nod to the new DC 52?

Yes i did. Looking forward to getting all badges for my toon. Just cant wait till I21 is released. But then again Looking forward to Halloween Mansion. Since there has been quiet on this subject. I wonder what is in store for us all for Halloween this year. I hope the mansion gives us something to look forward and be different.

I don't understand the requirements for Avatar Assassin; does an IDF bomb need to die within a certain amount of time of the Avatar dying like Nightstar and Siege in the BAF?


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I believe that it is a Seedling, not a bomb. The avatar will spawn seedlings occasionally during the fight.

That's not the important part, though.

In pre-beta the badge was for defeating the Avatar while a bomb was out on the field. Are there just a few words missing in the description?

"Defeat the Avatar of Hamidon at the same time as an IDF bomb is out in the Underground Incarnate Trial" perhaps?

This thread has info from someone who has gotten the badge since I21 went live. The wording on the badge has changed from bomb to seedling, indicating the seedlings the Avatar spawns, not the IDF bombs in the tunnel.

Makes more sense to be a seedling then a bomb.

So...this Doorbuster badge, given out during the Head Start. Is this a global/account-wide badge, or do I have to go through the slog of logging in every character I have (if I want those characters to have this badge)?

It's global.

Okay, Avatar Assassin is definitely for killing the Avatar while one of his detonating seedlings is in the last room.

The way it works is first he summons the seedlings, then 10 seconds later it explodes. You have to kill him after he summons it, and before it explodes. Timers for the summoning and detonation are shown in the objectives window.

He seems to summon seedlings fairly often, so I'd expect this badge to happen by accident a lot.

hmmm...anyone else having trouble buying the Knowledgable badge? My main badger keeps getting an error when I try to buy it in the store. Something along the lines that I have too many in my cart....

Did you already buy it on another toon? It's a global badge, so once it's bought, you don't have to buy it again.

I can verify this, as I bought it once in the tutorial, and had another toon get it on login.

Ah okay that makes sense on how the league I was in got it in the first run/try.

To add, once you buy it on your first new character at Numina to get out of the tutorial, if you go make another new character, the action doesn't even come up.

I thought I was stuck, at least for a few seconds.

I had it all along but swear I did not see it in my Recent Badges menu. Had no idea it worked the way it does - thanks to everyone for the input.
