How To Obtain Stuff For Dummies? :)

CoH was a pretty complex game when I started 7 years ago, and since then, it has multiplied currencies and enhancements and temp powers and is even more complex. Now there are windfalls and boosters and all manner of things.

Is there a guide that can walk through the ways one could obtain recipes, enhancements and temp powers?

To use an example, I was looking for a Kismet +Accuracy. I could 1) have a recipe drop 2) find and purchase a recipe at Wentworth's or 3) purchase a crafted enhancement at Wentworth's.

Could I trade in a Hero Merit at Fort Trident? (I tried and I don't think so, but if I were sure, I would not be asking, would I? )

Could I use Reward Merits and get it for sure at a Merit Vendor? Could I obtain it through a Random Roll, and if so, could I get it at a much lower level should I wish to exemp?

Could I use Architect Tickets, and ditto using Random Rolls there?

How would I know what can be obtained where and for what, and whether it is certain or a random roll? If what I want cannot be obtained at Fort Trident, for example, how would I know that?

Are there ways to obtain one I do not even know about??

Hence my question: Is there a comprehensive guide to this somewhere? It would have to be "How To Obtain Stuff For Dummies" in my case!


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Look up the item on the wiki.

I don't think we've set up a ticket flag, but that would be pretty simple. (We're looking into simplifying and small-er-fying the purchase flags, too.)

You can. The problem you may have run into is the limited level range of the recipe. If you tried to buy it with a level 50 character and didn't set the level slider to the proper range for the recipe, it wouldn't show up as available for purchase.

In this case, you would have to set the slider to someplace in the 10-30 range, as that is the range that Kismets show up in.

excellent spreadsheet, but you may want to correct the listings for Purples and PvP recipes - specifically, you've got their Empyrean Merit prices listed in the Astral Merit column
