Overview

Issue 13 introduced Merit Rewards, which included a reworking of the reward system to obtain Invention Recipes from Task Forces, Trials, and Story Arcs.

Task Forces give an average of 1 merit every 5 minutes of average time (12 merits an hour), Trials give an average of 1 merit every 4.5 minutes (13-14 merits an hour), and Story Arcs give an average of 1 merit every 12.5 minutes (4-5 merits an hour). The reason for this major difference is due to the considerable time and effort Task/Strike Forces can take to set up and complete, so naturally these tasks grant a much greater reward.

For the following summaries, there are various options that an activity can involve, as follows:

• Door Missions: An instanced mission.
  • Defeat All: Requires defeating all enemies.
• Talks: Deliver information or items to or obtain information or items from an NPC other than the contact.
• Hunts: Defeat enemy critters, sometimes restricted to a particular zone.
  • Ambushes of the required enemy faction often accompany hunt missions.
• Contains tough enemy critters:
  • EB: Contains an Elite Boss, which does not upgrade into an Archvillain/Hero, even when Notoriety and team size is high enough.
  • AV: Contains an Archvillain/Hero, which may or may not downgrade into an Elite Boss, depending on Notoriety and team size.
    • AVs in Task Forces, Strike Forces, and Trials never downgrade.
  • Monster: Contains a Monster, whose defeat is usually required to advance the story.
  • GM: Contains a Giant Monster, whose defeat is usually not required to advance the story.
