Almost time to farm heal badges... Got my T4 +HP Rebirth

For a Brute and T4 +HP Rebirth where should you farm this badge? I am on a crowded server so I could park near Ms Liberty. I also hear the wall in Cim is good too.

Does the T4 heal alpha help with this too? Would it give more hp? A 45% boost could cut the time nearly 25%.

I did not have an Alpha +heal; it took me six nights parked at the top of the Cimeroran battlements above Imperious, roughly 46-48 hours total to get the latter 5. There's a row of 10 Cimerorans that benefit from the +HP and it keeps you out of the way of any ITF players that may be starting up.

A better way, and one the would not require going afk in a zone..is one I suggested to a friend around V day. It requires having a V Day tip still..which may be hard. Then you set the mission for 8, go into one of the missions, stand in the middle of the huuge mob of allies and auto cast rebirth, getting about..15k? heal points every 2 mins.

Wouldn't that require constant input since you're not in Task Force mode? Wouldn't you be auto-logged?

Being inside a mission will also prevent you from auto-logging. I usually use a CoT newspaper mission to farm damage badges in a similar way.

The buff pet would act as another body too.

I just finished doing this. Start an O-mission and then head to Mercy Island, near the base portal. Look for all the Wolf Spiders marching in place. You can get 50-60 guys in range of the Rebirth. Start the auto-firing. Profit.

Wow I just scouted that area out... genius. I don't think I've ever heard of that... you could get that badge in less then 4 hours.

Very nice. I hadn't even heard of getting the badges this way. I took a character over there, built a T3 Rebirth Total Core, the one with the wider radius and was able to get a bit over 20k heal every 2 minutes. I had just enough stuff to make the T1 Vigor and that bumped it up to 27,390 points toward the badge each time. I'm going to leave it on overnight and see how well it does.

High five for this... brilliant. Thanks for this gem.

Wow, the game has come a long way since the days of the 6 Month Arena Farm. Of course, moving that decimal also helped a ton.

I'm glad to see these new ways, as I can be inspired to get the badges on other alts.

Healing on the buff pet doesn't count. It used to, but hasn't in a while.

Yeah, toning it down by a factor of 100 was some small assistance.

The buff pet is counting as heal for the +hp though. I'm currently working on the heal badges using this method (T3 Rebirth Total Core+T1 Vigor by base portal in Mercy) and when I add in the buff pet it's giving me +500 points toward the badge.

Well I am about 3 million from the final damage badge then I am going to do this. I should have enough for the T4 Vigor but we will see.

Curious how long it will take to farm this in Mercy?

Since my first post in this thread until just a few minutes ago, I've gotten the empath badge on three characters now, two starting with under 50k points, one with 700k points, using the aforementioned T3 Rebirth Total Core+T1 Vigor, in Mercy by the base portal. I'd say I was averaging 12 hours.

You do have to do it when there's a lot of wolf spiders squads in the area. If you don't have 5 or 6 squads in formation there, move some distance away, wait a minute and come back. As long as there wasn't any other players in the area, the squads should have despawned and will be different. Some times I had to do this a few times to get the most spiders up.

Well I am getting nearly 50 k a cast with Vigor T3 (45% more healing) and a T4 radial +HP. Here is a screenshot... I positioned myself to hit nearly all the mobs. You can see the green rings meaning they are buffed by me.

So glad you folks were talking about this as i'd forgotten all about doing this. Just leaving my character in Cimerora when I wasn't playing over the weekend has me only 2 million and change from the last badge. 'Course my SG 25 million badge is a ways off!

I think the devs 'fixed' this. I just tried this tactic today for my badge toon (whom has Rebirth) and I got zilch for progress firing it off on these guys.

Which Rebirth do you have? You have to use the one that gives +HP not the +REGEN one.

I think my brains might be baked from the heat outside, but what's an "O-mission"?

Ouroboros mission. Since Ouro basically puts you on Task Force, you won't get logged out due to inactivity. You can also use AE to do the same thing and there's an AE building in Mercy if you go that route.
