    EndMod + EndMod/Recharge + EndMod/Accuracy + Proc will give you slightly more recovery than what you have now thanks to the 4-piece +2.5% recov bonus. On top of that, you also get +5% move speed and +1.88% HP.
    From 0 to full end, does this decrease the time by even a full second?

    Just curious, any reason you don't put in the End Mod Performance shifter? True, it's not a wonderful set bonus by any means (+5% movement), but it doesn't hurt and not too expensive compared to everything else you've bought.

    Way back, I used both a Chemical nuke and a Bio nuke on the hydra head. Neither one changed the damage done. This was back when it was run as a mission, not a task forces, so it's possible that something has changed it since.

    I know that some of them (Nemesis snipers) cannot, as I've tested it using the method I mentioned. It's also mentioned on the the link I provided. It might be different for each type of Nemesis sniper, though.

    This part is incorrect. They have perception of 149 feet. It's pretty easy to test with a stealth IO and multiple zoning to stack the stealth (zone quickly 5 times to get 150 of stealth).

    What Fulmens means is when you make your character, what IOs do you want to put in it. Odds are the IOs you want to use, other people want to use as well. Look at those to see if you can make a profit.

    For example, Thunderstrikes and Crushing Impacts are probably a good place to start. There's usually a pretty constant demand for them. You won't make as huge of a profit as some other things, but you also won't lose as much if you make a mistake.

    Log in each day, put up a bid for 10 of each (Statesman mask, Lord Recluse mask, Hamidon costume, BAB gloves). In 10 days you'll have 99 of each, just as the event ends. Or place more bids if you have open slots. Initial investment will be about 23 mill.

    But like I said, this is more long term, you'll have to wait a few months before it becomes really profitable to sell. And the real ebil marketers are laughing at this, because they'll make that much in a day or two flipping and crafting stuff.
  9. -->Market section this way<--

    Save money by buying recipes and rolling your own IOs.

    Buy recipes, make the IOs and sell them.

    Memorize common IO recipes and craft for profit.

    Run TFs, buy popular, valuable recipes with the merits, craft and sell.

    Lot more tips in the market section. But those are what I do. I don't have a billion yet, but I've purpled out one character, fully IOed most all the rest, and have any where from 100 to 850 mill on each of them.

    One final way to make a lot of money in the long term? Buy up Halloween salvage. Spend 50-60k in stacks of 10. Each of your characters can hold 99 of each piece. In 3-4 months, start selling them for around 400k each. Edit: ooops, didn't carry the two... Profit will be 118 million
  10. I really don't mean to rain on your parade, but...

    First of all, does Protector really need yet another monster channel? There's already Protector Watch, Protector Vigilance and Protector Monsters (all which indicate monsters as part of their channel descriptions). And they're all underused as it is.

    Also, while Striga is a neat zone, and the volcano is a great setting (I still want to spawn Babbage and Kronos and have a big battle up there), it really isn't the best setting for an event. It's quite a way off the beaten path, and lowbies would have a really difficult time getting there. Anyone level 20 or lower would have a hard time sneaking past the layers of council guns and patrols.

    Also, the wiki maps on GM spawn sites in Striga are woefully incomplete. I've mapped as many sites as I could over the past few years, but it's not an easy zone to find the spawn sites. It's too far out of the way to get a team to hunt in and it's too far to drag the GMs to the drones (at least 1-2 miles each time).

    Might I suggest to use Croatoa as an alternative gathering site? You could gather at War Witch's island. The Spawn Sites are much closer together. The farthest distance between spawn sites is still about half your average travel hunting GMs in Talos. Also, the travel for lowbies would be much safer. Once they travel the short distance getting out of the city part, the majority of the distance would be across relatively safe open water.

    At 60 months, you can pick Fly, Teleport, Super Jump or Super Speed without the prerequisite.

    The teleport probably wouldn't affect them, though. I once taunted Eochai off the edge of an rock island in Firebase Zulu. He didn't get teleported and sat there on the floor of the shard for about 5 days until the server reset.

    LGTF inquiry

    This is exactly the reason I don't join LGTF anymore. The three things I really hate. The speed groups don't tell you what the plan is, they run past all the spawns, creating massive aggro that kills the people trying to keep up, and kill off the people they're supposed to save. Last one I was on, 5 people died running through the sewers to the next rider. Definitely in the not fun category for me.

    Yes, but how many people go hunting for him in the Firebase Zulu, for example. It's entirely possible for Jack to spawn there after a server reset, and not be found for a day or more. That's exactly what has happen during the past couple years while I've been making the spawn site maps on the wiki. I've seen Jack sit there for a full day in Eden and in Striga because no one hunts for him in those zones.

    This.

    You still need to get a team together and take down Jack in the normal fashion. Unless you have one of those GM killer builds .

    pigg = ?

    Well, the "Graphic" part would not be completely correct, since the pigg files contain sound, text and many other things other than just graphic files.

    From the Paragon Wiki entry: "The extensible file format is used to create virtual drives for a software program."

    I have no clue beyond that.

    This part is incorrect. You can add the Architect edition to other editions. It's what I did, and it gave me an additional month as well as the choice of one of the boosters.

    If I've missed blue side, then I'll certainly add them. The more popular hunting zones (Talos and Bricks) are almost certainly complete, but the far off ones like the shard, Striga, or the big ones like IP are very hard to deal with solo.

    Remove "Combat Warnings" from your systems tab. It's not very useful channel to begin with.

    Ah, thanks for that. That gave me the clue needed to find some info on the green glyph.

    [Glyph of Restoration]
    The Mystic Banner gains power by having more creatures near it. It is currently drawing a small amount of additional energy from nearby creatures granting it a minor healing ability it can use every 15 seconds.

    Take note that this is *just* a story. While you'll find many copies and variations of this on the web, what you won't find is the original study. This post on Snopes.com tells what's more likely to happen.
