Valentine missions


Forbin_Project

 

Posted

I'm a new player and I'm trying to do this event for the first time.

After figuring out that I need to help a Hero/Villain as well as have a Hero/Villain help me, I got to te Snaptooth mission from DJ Zero and did that 5 times to get all the rewards.

So far so good.

Now I read on the Paragon wiki that there are also Valentine Tip missions. I understand that you need to be level 20, so I just levelled the character who did the box and cauldron and Snaptooth missions to 22, but still no Valentine Tips. What do I need to to do get those, or is it just random bad luck? I'm playing a Rebel in Praetoria if that makes any difference.

My other characters who did the PocketD/DJ Zero thing are Villains below level 20.

I also read there is something about a Red Widow, but the Paragon Wiki doesn't give a lot of info there. Is this also some kind of mission?

I understand I got roughly a week before this event ends, and I would like to do the tips and the red widow thing as well, but I don't have a clue where to go.

Thanks.

The tips drop off of level 20+ enemies, even gray ones, so if you're still in Praetoria, you're probably going to be hard pressed to find many of those.

Yeah, I don't think Praetorians can get any tips until they do the mission to cross over to Primal Earth. Check with Scratch/Ganymede (in your case Ganymede because resistance = hero) hopefully they'll send you to DJ. Zero to get attuned.

Arbiter Hawk (for villains, rogues, possibly loyalists) and Jessica Duncan (heroes, vigilantes, and possibly resistance) will have the Red Widow arc. However you might have to "cross over" to Primal Earth for these as well.

Well that advice at least did something. Apparently I needed to go to Pocket D again after getting to level 20, to get "attuned" as you say.

It's not working as expected though. I do get "Tip discovered" messages or something to that effect, but they don't show up in contacts or missions or clues. I suppose they are similar to the Alignment Tips I got on one of my Villains I have over level 20?

I suppose that to continue, I have to choose to become either Hero or Villain. I've tried some missions in First Ward, but without choosing, apparently the Tips thing isn't working properly.

They are exactly like alignment tips and show up in the same place (Contacts menu->Tip tab). There is no way to tell if the tip that just dropped is a regular tip or a valentine tip until you go to that menu.

I also just discovered that you can get a Valentine tip and a regular tip from the same kill, so they aren't mutually exclusive.

And there's the problem. If I recall correctly, Praetorians don't even HAVE a Tips tab in the contact window. (Until they cross over to Primal Earth.)

I can indeed confirm this unfortunately.

Which means I have to choose Hero or Villain now...

Yeah it's a shame you have to give up on completing all that level 20 to 50 Praetorian specific content.

Shame on you forbin

Anyway Roger - so far there really isn't anything Praetorian specific post 20. Even first ward assumes you cross over, I think.

Btw, these require level 30+ according to the promo:
