Influence and Infamy are the two currencies used within City of Heroes. Influence is the currency for heroes and infamy is the currency for villains. In terms of game mechanics, both currencies are equivalent and are often referred to as "inf".
Inf can be earned in several ways:
- completing missions
- defeating enemies
- selling items to stores or contacts
- selling items on the Consignment House
Inf is used within the game for many purposes:
- purchasing Inspirations and Enhancements from stores or contacts
- purchasing Inspirations, Enhancements, Recipes, and Salvage from the Consignment House
- fees for crafting salvage and recipes into Invention Origin Enhancements, Temporary Powers, costume pieces, and respecs in the invention system
- purchasing recipes from an invention workbench
- purchasing prestige at the Super Group Registrar at the rate of 1 million inf for 2,000 prestige
Inf is currently capped at 2 billion; you can earn more, but it won't be recorded and the system will still see it as 2 billion. Inf can be traded, although only to characters of the same faction (heroes to heroes, villains to villains).
The name "Influence" is an abstraction that refers to the fact that a hero's influence with the citizens of Paragon City increases with their actions. The name "Infamy" is an abstraction that refers to the infamy a villain earns with the citizens of the Rogue Isles for committing dastardly deeds. See Understanding Influence and Infamy for a more in depth explanation of these abstractions and how they are used.
