Has not been changed. Still 200.
...I forgot what experience means.
*sighs*
Here I was, hoping I would have the Archmage badge on my first hero, but no go. I detest farming for a certain kind of enemy for too long, so all the illusionists and masks needed kept me from getting it: I was in the low 100s for each and had no interest in going for more.
It's odd that the mask badge wasn't changed along with illusionist: illusionists were and still are easier to find than BP masks. Oh well, hopefully next time around.

BP masks spawn every "night" in SE Talos by the dozens. Then you can just jump over to DA during the "day" and pick up a few more inbetween day cycles. Their lvl range was lowered recently so they spawn all over DA now, instead of just certain red areas of the zone. It never takes me longer than a couple cycles to earn this badge. Sometimes I even pick up a few Sorcerers along the South end of DA while I'm waiting for the next "night".

They have never spawned in the dozens for me in SE Talos. I'll see one in a spawn down there. I would do the circuit, dropping the ones I saw, but as I said, I detest having to farm for a specific foe for very long: it's just not fun for me (nor for many others, which is why they started lowering badge requirements).
I hear that more spawn in if you're running a team down there, but I haven't had much drive to do this, because of my aforementioned annoyance with wasting my time hunting.
I'll have to look around DA when I'm in there... I hadn't seen many more in there, but visibility is low, heh.

Yes, one in every spawn for me, so that's a dozen or so for every "lap" you do around the buildings.. and YES, difficulty and team size used to seem to help spawning more of them. I'd guess the new settings would make it easier to solo.|

Even if you don't want to farm it for long, just take a lap or two inbetween missions, or once each day you play and it still wouldn't take you long. The Ills on the other hand, you would have had to certainly farm. If you get a good map and set it up the right way it could take less than a half an hour, but I wouldn't call that easier than the masks.
Wait for the Halloween event. Since it's perpetually night, they spawn pretty frequently in that part of Talos. Get a team going, and you'll have the badge in no time.
Also, there's a mission Unai Kemen gives you, that takes place in a graveyard. It's full of BP, and always seems to have masks. You can farm that, too. Set the foes to -1, increase your team size (either with a team, or new settings), and again, it shouldn't take too long. Espcially if you already have credit for over 100.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
A team in Talos is your best bet. You will spawn lots and the team will take them down quickly. Now that the Accolade is more accessible, it shouldn't be too hard to find others to knock it out quickly.
Or, go to Bloody Bay, they spawn constantly there.

I could have sworn one of the badge requirements adjusted for I16 was how many Banished Pantheon masks you needed to defeat (from a post by Synapse or whoever it was working on these). I see that the "Banisher" badge is not on the I16 patch notes, however, so apparently I was just hoping that this was one of the adjustments? Or what?
I know Synapse or whoever said this was a first pass, but I was surprised this change was not made, if things are working as intended.
