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 3 minutes of average time (20 merits an hour), Trials give an average of 1 merit every 2.5 minutes (24 merits an hour), and Story Arcs give an average of 1 merit every 7.5 minutes (8 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 that only teammates can enter.
- Defeat All: Requires defeating all enemies in the instance.
- Talks: Deliver information or items to or obtain information or items from an NPC other than the contact.
- In a regular Story Arc, only the mission holder may complete the talk mission.
- In a Task Force, Strike Force, or Trial, anyone on the team may complete the talk mission, not just the mission holder.
- Hunts: Defeat enemy critters, sometimes restricted to a particular zone.
- Ambushes of the required enemy faction often accompany hunt missions.
- Patrols: Explore a zone by "calling in" at (clicking on) specific items, including pay phones and other items.
- 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 most Task Forces, Strike Forces, and Trials do not downgrade.
- Ouroboros Task Forces and Strike Forces are Story Arcs that utilize the TF function, thus AVs/etc. will downgrade like in a Story Arc.
- 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.
Strike Forces and Trials
- Additional Task/Strike Forces: Cooperative Merit Rewards
