Overview

Alignment Merits are a special salvage awarded as part of the Alignment system introduced in Issue 18. There are two types of alignment merits: Hero Alignment Merits and Villain Alignment Merits. There are two ways to obtain alignment merits:

  • Complete Morality Missions as a hero or villain (except for the first time, which awards 50 Reward Merits instead).
  • Purchase at a rate of 50 Reward Merits and 20 million Inf for each Alignment Merit. Only one merit can be purchased at a time and there is a 20 hour timer before the next one can be purchased.

Alignment Merits can only be earned and possessed while a character maintains their respective alignments (Hero for Hero Alignment Merits, Villain for Villain Alignment Merits). Changing alignments will forfeit all unspent Alignment Merits.

Alignment Merits can be spent at Alignment Vendors to purchase most Recipes, including Purple Recipes and PvP Recipes. The Alignment Vendor for heroes is the box next to B.O.T.L.E.R. in Fort Trident. The Alignment Vendor for villains is the trash next to Trashcan in The Crucible. B.O.T.L.E.R. and Trashcan are also the contacts for converting Reward Merits and Inf to Alignment Merits.

Once a purchase with Alignment Merits is made, there is a 20 hour timer before another puchase can be made.
