How long does it take to do the new Incarnate trials:
Underground?
TPN Campus?

Are there planned times people fight The Seed of Hamidon?
I rarely see toons attacking the Seed.

Thanks!

Your best bet would be to ask in the global channels on your server or ask in your server forum. That way you know if they are scheduled and how long teams especially sg's/static who usually run these events take on them. GL

TPN isn't live yet, either.

For the Underground Trial, figure half an hour to an hour to form the league, then another hour to hour and a half to play -- assuming you don't fail on the Lichen-Infested War Walker.
I don't think anyone's completed the TPN trial yet, so no telling how long that will take.

i usually set aside about 2 hours for underground

as for the seed of hamidon its mostly gone the way of the other GMs because the reward for the event is pitiful at best (although it does award 5 merits instead of the usual 2)

And two badges instead of 1. But you can get 1 badge solo pretty easy by hunting the spawns.

I always am a bit surprised that more people don't farm the seed of hamidon because the bosses have great drops and there's a lot of them. When I'm bored and sitting the queue, since I can't do missions I sometimes farm them on my mid-level or single-target focused characters. Since there bosses, they have a chance to drop merit recipes about as common as level 47+s drop purples. I've gotten some decent stuff off them. Especially now with the dual salvage drop bug.

I thought that's what he meant, but the part about dropping from bosses threw me. I guess he meant merits dropping from bosses, not the recipes themselves.

No, read the page linked.

"Also effective with Issue 14, these recipes have a chance to drop from boss class enemies. "

Ah, so by "merit recipes" he meant "certain recipes that - once upon a time - could only be aquired by completing certain TF's or trials, but now can be purchased with merits and also now drop from bosses even outside of TF's and trials"

I was aware that such a category existed, but I've only ever heard them referred to as Pool C drops (didn't know Pool D was different). I never heard them referred to as "merit recipes."

That's why you haven't seen any.
You might be right. I don't think any have ever dropped for me.

See my signature. I'm not communicating or thinking at my best these days =)

But you got what I was going for.

I got a Miracle+recovery to drop on a low-level ITF as my best. That and a couple really bad ones (sting of the manticore, dark watcher's despair, etc). Unless it's a proc or whatever you're really unlikely to notice it. Given the other pieces in the set most wouldn't expect the dark watcher's recharge/end is as rare a drop as a purple (not counting ticket or merit rolls).
