Incarnate Rewards
I'll save you some research.
The best Time/Reward Ratio is TPN Campus, unless you need a guaranteed Rare/VR, which changes it to Underground.
TPN awards 60 Threads + Reward Table with weights shifted towards Rare/VR + 2 Empyreans first run, 1 Empyrean every subsequent run for 20 hours.
UGT awards 60 Threads + Reward Table guaranteed to drop a Rare/VR + 2 Empyreans first run, 1 Astral every subsequent run for 20 hours.
Edit: I omitted farming for Astrals. If that's your game, Badge BAFs or TPNs are the easiest and fastest.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30)) Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.
Thanks! That was just what I was looking for.
I was really into the game when the incarnate system first started, got my 'favorite' Brute all T4 doing a bazillion BAFs and Lambda Trials. Then I took a 'break' from CoH.
I just recently came back, and the Brute previously mentioned now sits on a F2P account. So I have been trying to get my main up to T4 on my only VIP account, but time is a factor as I am deployed right now, in the US Air Force.
I did TPN for the first time the other day, I saw those 60 threads and was all excited... I thought that may have been my best bet, plus it offers that rare costume peice. I will just do a ton of those
(And the repeatable missions too)

First TPN run (each 20h) is a guaranteed R/VR? I thought that was only UG. Great to know
No, TPN has an improved chance of R/VR, not guaranteed, exactly as Draeth said.

Are we sure it even has an improved chance? ParagonWiki makes no mention of that, although it DOES say that for Keyes Island.

I've corrected the Paragon Wiki entries for TPN Campus and Minds of Mayhem to correctly reflect the reward table rate shift, as the Keyes Island Reactor page does.
Dilemma Diabolique does not mention any increased reward scheme in the patch notes that I can see. Does anyone know if it has unusual reward metrics other than the 2/1 empyrean scheme?

Cool. There's also an iTrial summary page. I just updated that.

Thanks for clarifying that
So UGT is the only guaranteed R/VR?

Uh oh!
They tell you to not identify as part of the military, unless you have to, for a reason. You can do what you want, but I wouldn't want to risk getting into trouble. |

Thank you all for the information and links (especially that Trial Summary page) I got a pretty good grasp on the iTrials now as I have had a little more time to play as of recent.

I understand when I can and can't identify myself as part of the military. An online gaming forum where I do not know anyone, did not share any location information, and nobody knows my name will not be an issue. Thanks for the concern though.

Deployed means I am in a location other than my home... I did not disclose that location.
Again, I am not new to this, I know what I am doing. Thank you for your concern though.

Umm.. that is not a deployed location. That is my home. I am not there, I am deployed. I have lived at Kadena AFB for 2 years. Obviously you are not in the military, because you would know that telling people the my home is in Japan is not a violation of OPSEC.

I still think it is, but it is fine if you are actually in a different location.
I also think the security concern is not just about willingly given out information but also about possible hacks by enemies of private information about military personnel locations.
But, that's probably not a risk unless we were at war with a technologically highly sophisticated force.
Anyway, it was more in jest than anything else.
I didn't know. I thought any base over-seas was considered "deployed".

Overseas home stations are not considered deployed. Deployed is when youre in a combat zone or directly supporting a combat zone in a operational theater (i.e Africa, Southwest Asia, Philippines, etc)
There is no issues with saying that I am deployed. There is no issues with saying I live in Japan normally. There is nowhere on the internet that I have said where I am deployed. I even turned off location services on Facebook, I really know what I am doing.
Now the thread has gotten way off topic. ..

IP addresses man. It's like your phone number.
But, I am not worried either. I was just joking with you, hence the ![]() I'm done. lol |
So, I got a VR on a DD Trial yesterday, good times.

Seriously? I ask an honest question and cite the most well-known and easy-to-find source and you have to cop an attitude and get in my face? You could have conveyed exactly the same information without being a jerk by saying, "Yes, per the patch notes here:".

And yes, you should have read the well-known and easy to find source.

Could anyone direct me to a thread, or reply, to what the rewards are for each trial? I know that the reward tables at the end are random. I mean more-so what I should expect from each trial. Like how many Astrals, Emp merits, threads, etc... per run.
I tried searching around here with no luck. I can't access ParagonWiki to search there whilst I am at work.
The reason I ask is that I am limited in gaming time on some days, sometimes I only have 30-40 minutes to play. So I was wondering what the best reward/time ratio is.
