Invention License Question Among Other Things

I recall seeing a choice for an Invention License and Market License by using Reward Merits about ... oh maybe 2-3 months ago.

After telling some one about that, I went to look again and I cannot seem to find it. Did it get removed? or was I imagining?

Next Question:
If I have 2 bil of influence, then drop subscription and go to premium status. Do I lose the inf over the premium inf cap?

And one more Question:
Invention Licenses allow for IO drops, Crafting and using IOs, correct?



Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.

The option to use merits for the purchase of the invention license was, as I understand it, a leak and not intended, and I believe the devs have stated that it's probably not going to be an option.

As for your second question... <shrugs>

Final question... yes. Yes they do.

If you're over the Inf cap for your tier when you drop to Premium, you do not lose anything. However, you cannot gain any more until you drop below the cap. If you earn more (such as through defeating enemies) it will give you badge credit, but will not be added to your total, nor will it be "banked" and given to you later; it is lost. If you try to claim Inf in a trade, from the market, or from emails, you'll be given the same error as if you were to do one of these things when at (or too close to) the hard cap of 2 billion.

An Invention license allows you to get recipes and salvage as drops, to use crafting tables to create IOs, temp powers and costume parts, and to slot IOs in your build. When the IO license expires, if you haven't purchased a replacement, completed Tier 7 of the rewards tree, or become VIP, then you will stop getting salvage and recipe drops, will no longer be allowed to craft anything other the Lost Curing Wand, and all IOs in your build will grey out and stop giving any effects (just as if those slots were empty). Regaining an Invention License (through purchase, attaining Tier 7, or resubscribing) will reactivate those slotted IOs.

Interesting.

I was not aware of the Tier 7 deal-io. I have nothing to worry about then.

>.> I'm not sure Incarnates + 500 PP + 1 Reward Point is worth 15 dollars.... When you can get 500 pp + 1 Reward Point for 5 dollars.

The SSA does not interest me at all. The combined reward table is a real put off. 'VIP' in game support is a joke :/

OK. Thanks for the info Roderick

You can only get a reward TOKEN (please let's not confuse the issue with conflating terminology - there's paragon POINTS and there's reward TOKENS) for a five dollar purchase if it's your very first purchase. After that, it's every 1200 points you buy, which is around $15 (depending on which points package you buy).

Make sure you have T7 completed. Just being in T7 isn't good enough.

You also lose the ability to do the first ward stuff even as part of somebody else's team from Nadia onwards, so do it while you're VIP.
