Yes, pop a detector when running content and the rewards you get will be doubled. I’m other words. Instead of getting 5-6 caches you will get 10-12. Also detectors do not continue to run when you log out of a toon. This means that you can pop a detector and if you switch toons it will be saved for the next time. This is good for alts who are running dailies
DeitySupreme, this is fantastic!! I like, neigh love, good guides. Some notes, is the 200 breakthrough not a total of 56 dion 45 quan and 36 paradox? Source: DCUO sourcewall calculator. That section actually, you should clarify that the 200 breakthrough is the total catalyst amount from 0 - 200, it reads kinda like you need that amount just for the breakthrough at 200. Also you should highlight that throughout the year there are two character skips usually given out that come with artifact caches (extra life and anniversary) AKA easy source of catalysts and some substantial nth.
Thanks, will clarify that. Also, I thought that only the anniversary gave a cr skip. Isn’t this last years extra life the first year they did a free skip? Don’t remember them doing that with past. I’ll look into it
I've only seen two extra life day events & 2 anniversaries and got skips during both. to my best recollection
Tbh that’s more I’ll to user discretion. You have to weigh out what’s more valuable to you. For me personally I always use preservations up until the 160 breakthrough. At 140 I believe there is a 20% breakthrough chance which is 1/5. With 1 destiny token I can get 10 preservations or 1 completion. So a 1/5 chance has a tendency of using half the seals of preservations. Yes it can be more but it can also be less. But that’s the 1/5 odds. However for the 160 breakthrough has a 1/10 chance. So I can theoretically use 10 seals. It would probably be more so at those odds I can just get a completion and get it over with. However for some people they may not like the 1/5 odds so you can start use completions at rank 140. But I personally would never use a completion on tank 120 since that’s a 40% chance.
I do the same friend. And more than so less, I breakthrough at 120 and 140 with preservations quite easily. I tend to save my destiny tokens, esp if I dont spend any money in the game other than my subscription. And you wont see me wasting them on 120 breakthrough lool
Bumping for double XP week. Several tips here are how I maxed out my tank artis, now working on DPS. Thanks again for doing this!
so the 50% off sale and the Double xp event can happen on TWO separate occasions?!? who's in the marketing side of this game?.. if any new or returning players aren't aware of this then they're pretty much screwed... man what is going on here.
Well yes. That’s because sales aren’t focused on nth/artifacts. They are focused on the discounts. So no reason to always sync them up. On top of that it’s also a business practice that’s used in a lot of games and even in real life. Players see nth on sale so they buy and use them. Players see double nth exp even so they buy nth metal and use them. These are done to drive income. Doesn’t make it shady practice: they don’t have to do either at all. But they do. It’s up to the players to learn the patterns and utilize everything the game offers to its full potential.
What's about "leveling without spending" section? because this thread is very useful, but probably "leveling without spending" is the most interesting section for many people, because spend 200 bucks on this, should be a felony...
Thread bump. Also -- Are there any updates on adding this section? Also, do people really just not level until double xp events? How often do they occur these days?
