Which merits?


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

And that question alone demonstrates to me the mess our currencies are in.

If I were to hazard a guess, I think the OP means regular merits earned from missions and TFs.

since astral and emp merits can already be converted to threads and whatnot i dont think they are talking about them

vanguard merits can buy a grai matter which can break down to a shard

that leaves reward merits and alignment merits, but alignment merits would be too unfair since it excludes rogues/vigilantes, and thus it leaves reward merits

How about something like this? It's just off the top of my head:

9999 Mission Architect Tickets = 1 Reward Merit
60 Reward Merits + 10,000,000 Inf = 1 Astral Merit
120 Reward Merits + 100,000,000 Inf = 1 Empyrean Merit

1 Incarnate Thread = 25 Reward Merits
1 Incarnate Shard = 20 Reward Merits

Why five more merits for a thread? 'Cause that makes it seem more important, I guess!

alignment (hero/villain) merits would be worth 10 ... because that's what a vigilante/rogue can get extra because they can run the SSA 2X as much

I maybe wrong but I thinks it's 10 Shards = 1 Thread or is it 10 Shards = 5 threads. That may make your equation different.

10 Shards = 10 Threads (once per day)

10 Shards + 1M inf = 5 Threads (as many times as you've got Shards)

Thank you for the clarification on the Shards/Threads.

Too bad that doesn't work in reverse, I have a few toons who are thread rich and shard poor.

So use the thread based Recipes for your Alpha. Every Alpha has 2 variants, one for Shard parts and 1 for Thread parts.
