Is it not available from alignment merit vendors or the normal merit vendors?
I think it should be, if not.

Edit:
Or at least, it should be available from the incarnate merit vendors in Ouroboros.

It is available for 10 Empyrean merits, but only after completing the Magisterium trial. If you want it from level 1, you need the recipe, which are currently going for $texas. :/

1) LOL@ "$Texas"
2) That sucks. It's too bad the vendors don't sell it as a character item that would go to email to be claimed on whatever character you want, if that is so. That should be how it works so that people can enjoy alts more and have reason to level those alts and grind more and pay to play the game more and/or pay for more stuff int he market and generally stick around.

Seriously, strangely pointless limits like that really do not help a game.

I have a bit of a dumb question actually, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Does one have to be a Titan Weapons character to get the recipe drop, or can anybody running the trial get it by chance? I ask because if so then I'm gonna start trying for the drop on my incarnate toons so I can get it for my TW charcter who is currently sitting in the tutorial, waiting for the recipe before I even want to play him. If not then I'm just gonna have to wait it out until the recipe drops to a (at least moderately) reasonable price. I understand it's a rare drop, but seriously, nearly 1 billion inf for a costume piece is unreasonable for anyone to ask.

Very good question.

I don't think I ever encountered a weapon customization recipe, even when I once had IO access, to have any idea how that works.
I imagine the recipe does not check whether you can use it or not before it drops, otherwise I wouldn't have received confuse purples on a brute.

99% sure that it will drop on any character.

I was in a run with a Defender who got the drop, so no, you don't have to be TW to get the recipe.

Thanks! I figured that was the case, but just wanted to make sure since the patch notes/announcement are a little vague on that. Guess I'm just gonna run alot of Magi's and hope for the best, haha.

What is available for 10 Emps? The sword itself, or the recipe to make it?

If it is the recipe, then can't a character who has completed Mag just buy the recipe for 10 Emps, email it to global, and then pick it up on a level 1 TW alt?


NOR-RAD - 50 Rad/Rad/Elec Defender - Nikki Stryker - 50 DM/SR/Weap Scrapper - Iron Marauder - 50 Eng/Eng/Pow Blaster
Lion of Might - 50 SS/Inv/Eng Tanker - Darling Nikkee - 50 (+3) StJ/WP/Eng Brute - Ice Giant Kurg - 36 Ice/Storm Controller

Im somewhat annoyed that i cannot buy the recipe to have in my tray i was hoping to make some inf and slot some toons but if i can only unlock it with 10emps and then never buy it.....this has made me unhappy

No recipes care about your at or power set, as far as dropping goes.

As far as not being familiar with weapon customization recipes - not surprising. There are only 2, and both are dripped in incarnate content only.
