Yeah. paragonwiki.com 404s.

Just remember that with this, and a lot of the other boxed sets, there are shipping costs that make them not as good a deal as they appear. (Unless they're sold directly by Amazon and you're either an Amazon Prime member or you order $25 worth at once to qualify for the free standard shipping.)

No, it's definitely in there. I've run across it a few times myself. It'll be in the "sale items" section if nothing else.

That's not been my experience. In any power I have that involves a targeting reticle, if I bind it to Shift +, Alt +, or Ctrl + the left button, the reticle shows up if I hit Ctrl, Alt, or Shift--even if it's part of some other keybind. (Like I get the reticle for my Ctrl + left click-bound Shield Charge to show up if I hit Ctrl + J to toggle on my superjump-autorun bind. It's really kind of annoying, but I put up with it for the convenience of being able to target my targetable powers quickly.)

It may be LBUTTON too, but it's definitely BUTTON1 also.

Try it on a character who doesn't have shift plus either button1 or lbutton bound to something already.

/bind shift+BUTTON1 "local This is a test."

Then click shift + the left mouse button and we'll see who's right.

(Hint: I just did it myself to make sure. I'm right.)

/bind shift+button1 "powexecname Teleport"

Note that when you press shift, you'll get the targeting rings.

You can make similar binds for control and alt. I also use them for things like casting pets, or for lightning rod/shield charge/spring attack, or Mastermind pet go-to-spot binds.

The referral program no longer works. I did update the guide to mention that fact.

That's as may be. But I just know that it was only when I switched from buying level 50s to buying level 30s to slot up my characters that I started having problems even finding recipes on the market. I wanted to slot four Obliterations into my Shield/Elec Scrapper, and the uncommons in the set were hard to find on the market and the rares simply weren't there at all--even when I placed fairly high bids over several days, I only got 2 or 3 out of the total of 8 I needed. I finally had to resort to merit purchases.

I'm not sure whether the price for those available at all is higher than the 50 version, but I suspect it would be just from their relative rarity. I know for sure that some of the knockback protection IOs are phenomenally high down into the 10s whereas the L50 versions of them go for a song. My suspicion is that this is because there are far more level 50s being continuously played, cranking out L50 recipes for marketeering, than there are lowbie toons, because most lowbie toons are only lowbies for so long.

In my experience, 50s are not going to be the most expensive, because more people will be building with lower-level IOs that still provide respectable values while making their set bonuses available across a wide range of exemplaring. I'm building my characters on L30 IO sets, for instance, and have found them to be rather more costly and hard to find than the L50 versions.

Apart from hero and reward merits, you can also buy recipes at the Ouroboros Astral Merit vendor. If you've been doing a lot of Incarnate Trialing to fill your slots, you might have a bunch of those left over. And needless to say, thanks to the email system, you don't have to use the recipe on the same character you buy it on.

Quoted for truth. If you make a habit of teaming all the time, you'll level faster than you know what to do with. Hang out in the badge/TF channels for your server. Form and run pick-up teams--for alignment tips or radio/newspaper missions if nothing else, or Task/Strike Forces if you have the time. Weeklies are good because you'll almost always find lots of level 50s willing to run them with you, and since they'll have 2 to 3 more powers than ordinary people at your level that makes it easier, but any reasonably short TF will have its fans. (Lots of folks like Hess, because who doesn't like fascists with giant robots?)

See the link in my signature for some advice on forming and running PUGs yourself. The nice thing about forming them yourself is that you don't have to wait for someone else to ask you, and you get to be in charge.

Tried it. The hero corps level seems to have relatively little relation to the toughness of the mobs faced in the reactor. I set it to +2 and still got a number of waves of level -1 mobs.

It's just screwed up.

Quaterfield I'll grant you, but the other three really aren't all that much longer than the others. Maybe back when you didn't have umpteen zillion zone teleport options or get jetpacks at the bottom of cereal boxes they were, but not anymore.

That's just silly, really. As much lead time as we get on these, people would have plenty of warning to go back to Ouroboros and do the contact arc to get access. It's usually possible to find someone who has the contact.

And it would make it easier to find groups to do it with. Just hasn't been as feasible since they killed hydra farming.
