At merit vendors...400/500 merits +25 mil
At Astral Whatsherface for 50/70 A merits + 25 mil

(The MM set has +dam as the first Stat? Utter Fail devs. Cant see many people bothering with any but the unique MM one.)

((Oh, and can only get ONE per 4 days from a vendor? It should have a disclaimer saying how greedy this is.))

There's a few in the market, looks like the asking price is roughly 100 million.

I doubt it will stay at 100 mil for long. These will be in high demand.

Yeah, I'm going to hold on to the ones I picked up for a day or so, let folks have a chance to put the bids out.

Actually I think quite the opposite, the price on these will plummet.

I bought 2 24 packs worth of points and I got nearly 25 X 250 merits alone. (That doesn't count the ATO's I got). Thus, I can convert 400 merits into an ATO even though there is a 4 day cooldown you can do it on any character since it isn't account lockout but just a character.

I managed to acquire a whole brute set and convert all the rest of my merits into selling other ATO's like the Brute ones for 500 mill.

Essentially I converted around 40 US dollars into about 10 billion influence.

It's difficult to say for now, but I would be very surprised if they end up cheaper than pieces like the LotG 7.5. They cost more to obtain via merits, and unless Super Packs prove wildly popular, there will probably be less of them entering the market randomly, yet they're extremely desirable to a wide variety of builds. Of course, price might vary widely between the more and less popular pieces and sets, although converters might lessen that disparity.

That said, I expect prices will be low for a while, as the people who care about super packs buy a bunch for the costume pieces and flood the market with all the ATOs they randomly obtain and don't want. Once that initial rush slows down, I'd guess that most ATO purchases will come from merits... but like I said, it's difficult to say for now with any degree of certainty. Time will tell.

I think it's nice that they can be acquired with reward merits but not alignment merits, so it's actually easier to get them on Vigilantes and Rogues than Heroes or Villains. Which, given how much more value 1 alignment merit has than 60 reward merits, is a good change.

Since I can't seem to find this, what's the availability of the Catalysts to upgrade ATOs to superior outside of super packs?

I believe they'll start dropping from incarnate enemies once i22 hits (presuming they're not dropping already). I'm positive they drop in DA, not so sure if they do in trials or not.

Now that is nice!

Now, if they'd give vigilantes missions in the vein of Rogues, we'd be set! Or maybe it's just me who loves the Rogue missions but hate not being able to end the SG base while a rogue.

Prices are falling quite rapidly.

Down from 200 million per ATIO this morning to around 50 million on some of them.

I'd suggest people buying them now for cheapers.

Testing out the stalker +hide proc atm..seems super cool. Does anyone know if those kind of ones (the +hide, dam, etc) work via a single 20% chance per use, or if putting them in aoes would give them multiple chances to proc?

I still lulz at resistance being a bonus

They will most likely continue on the down trend as more queue up to spend their RLM for the chance to get xy or z.


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

Will these still function after slotting if you cancel VIP?

Do the store bought versions of IOs still work after you slot them? If so, I would think so.

Oh, they're not actually IOs, more like HOs? then I guess they work regardless. you can't buy them with reward merits or astral merits without currently being a VIP subscriber and they have a 4-day cooldown timer on each purchase, so that's sorta ehhh

glad the stalker changes are going in or they would've been balancing the gimpy stalker AT around a required IO proc. If that works in an AOE and checks on each enemy that gets hit instead of just a single chance on activation then slotting it into something like KM's Burst that would be good times good times, having a 100% area crit from hide that could almost guarantee a placate...ha.

ATOs work no matter if you're a level 1 Preem or a ViP. They are not tied to the Invention System.

For KM (and most sets) Id put the proc in Assassin Strike. For KM Id really put it in AS...AS for high damage, proc goes off, Concentrated Strike from hide, BU recharges, repeat

I managed to get enough Catalyst to upgrade 3 full sets of ATIOs.

Anyone know if Synapse's fixes for the scrapper proc have gone in yet?
