Completion of certain style feats

I'm missing only a few from the classic game, and barely touched the ones from PVP. Some questions regarding drop rates and completion of feats.

The classic game feats I'm missing are Egyptian (waist), Robotic (hands), and Aerial Defender (all). Been looking at resources for drop locations but haven't had much luck.

For Egyptian, I've been running Gotham University and gotten the chest, back, and shoulders to drop, but still no waist. Wondering if the waist actually drops here?

I've seen the thread for the missing robotic style and can voice my frustration as well.

Aerial Defender it says I get it as attuned gear from the Anniversary event, meaning it's a drop and not buyable from the vendor? I've gotten it to drop before from FOS raids but it was for troll only.

As for PVP, for Blood Bat I happen to get a drop sometimes from Riddled With Crime content, but the drop rates are so low and not always the style I need, so I'm considering just buying the remaining pieces off Lady Shiva.

Lastly, for the Dressed to Kill feat (Collect a complete iconic PvP battlesuit in the classic game), does it matter for the feat if you get the styles from Lady Shiva, or do you have to buy the gear with PVP marks? My same question applies to the feat Knight Moves (Collect a complete Checkmate PvP Battlesuit).

I believe Egyptian is part of Omnibus loot, but still fairly rare. I had to run that solo to finish my set, but all I needed was shoulders (and this was a long time after finishing all other Onnibus styles).

Robotic may drop from leveling for certain mentors, but I am not sure. I'm also missing the hands.

Also not sure about Aerial Defender, but I think it is role locked and from FoS 2. There were a few role locked styles from the classic game, like Heartshard for Tanks, that were added to Omnibus, but apparently not Aerial Defender.

Certain PvP styles are faction locked for Marks of Valor. Blood Bat is one of the villain styles, if you don't have MoV or aren't a villain then you have to buy it from Lady Shiva.

Those feats can be completed by buying from Lady Shiva, it's based on the styles collected, not the gear (PvP CR).

Those styles usually drop from T1 solos bosses and/or treasure boxes.

Aerial Defender i got it on my Celestial alt from T1 solos. I was mostly farming Greenhouse and Gotham Sewers.
I think those solos drops the styles for both roles, but its more common to get it for healer role. Thats why i used my celestial alt, then unlocked the feat on my main.

For the Egyptian waist, try Gorilla Grodd Lab, Gotham Sewer and Chinese Theater treasure box.

Robotic im still missing 2 pieces...but luck was not on my side for this one.

It sounds like you need a hero healer for the easiest way to complete Aerial Defender if the villain equivalent solos don't drop it? I do happen to have a CR skipped water hero if I have to do it this way.

i'll give the other solos a shot as well for Egyptian waist.

Robotic hands is apparently supposed to drop from specific bosses in early instances as well (Cape Carmine Lighthouse, HIVE and OMAC base). It was definitely a while ago when I got the other pieces of the style and I don't remember if it was from omnibus or a specific instance. Shoulders was from an investigation.

"Sash of Kings" - Egyptian Waist piece - drops from Treasure Chests in the first Solo Levelling Mission (Grodd Lab - Power Girl Metropolis Uni / Scarecrow Sewer - Huntress Gotham Warehouse / Faust Mannheim's - Fate Sentinels Base) - NOT the Level 30 Solos or Duos. Just go back there and farm them until you get one. Also, it's tradeable, so you might find one on the Broker.

I'll double-triple-check this, but that's what's on my current spreadsheet .

Confirmed - just got it in Grodd's Lab .

Robotic Hands *should* drop from the Level 15 Mentor Mission Treasure Chests. Just double-triple-checking that too.

It's prior to that. I've got it listed as "Requires Level 10", and the gear dropping there and a few previous is "Requires Level 11", so it's prior to or at Joker's Funhouse Challenge, but after the first Challenge, but later than HIVE Base. I'll find it later on when I've got more time for a bit of tooling around .

If you're on EU PS/PC I can mail you the Egyptian belt - PM me here if that's the case.

Aerial Defender should be unattuned drops in the Anniversary event runs. They might attune when you get them, but won't be off your role. It's the green drop gear I think. Not sure if it's dropping, but if you don't have it in 5 months...you should get it done.

Robotic feet is my bane. First off, it's supposed to drop on the last boss of Oolong....meaning you have to run Oolong...ugh. And I did that for a while with groups of 4, and NONE of us got the robotic parts as a choice, so I honestly think it does not drop there anymore since the loot rework/EEG changes.

Why EVERY drop style is not in the Vendor in the HOL now, they need to address. Elites even, should be added, maybe at a 2x or 3x price. At a minimum, all drop styles need to be in the 'general' loot table....but even then, RNG can lock it behind 100's of runs, whereas you used to be able to just run 1 particular piece of content every day and be guaranteed finishing the set after some reasonable time.

Anodized Inertron Treads - Robotic Feet also drops from Treasure Chests, but is Healer only

Which treasure chests? I'd run on my sorc alt and buy the style if that's all it took.

I didn't take notes of where, because they used to drop all over from Adds as well as Treasure Chests - but I *did* note that it was in Content that was nominally Level 15 in your Journal - so it could be either the Level 15 Mentor Mission, or Joker's Funhouse.

Caveat: Gorilla Island and HIVE Moon Base used to fit in that slot too, so it could well have dropped from the Treasure Chests or Adds there instead.

I've busted a lot of treasures since the change and don't remember seeing them drop anything anymore. How old are those notes?

Mentor missions maybe...I'd have to see what level 15 mentor missions were. Been a LOOOONG time since I brought one up from 0.

I've had IWE Style pieces dropping all day from Treasure Chests - I'm not pulling this out of my **** . Druid, Contemporary Tech, Insectoid, Fourth World... I'm trying to narrow it down or you, but my memory of which Challenges come in which order is a bit vague.

What I *do* know is that Treasure Chest Drops tend to be between 2-3 Item Levels lower than the standard Blue Gear the Bosses drop. So it's whichever instance gave Level 17-18 Gear from the Boss. I suspect either Joker's Funhouse or Metro Station or that 15 Mentor Mission - just checking all three.

It's not my fault you're not paying attention . I'll have another look when I take my next week or so off the game proper.

I'm on US PS, but good to know that it's purchasable on the broker, hopefully someone is selling it.

So the best option for robotic hands is treasure chests for missions from level 5-15? Does it matter if it's walk-in or queue? The spawn rate for treasure chests doesn't seem high either.

I ran a couple of T1 solos earlier and the Aerial Defender hands dropped in the Grodd solo on my villain healer. Going to have to figure out if that instance drops the other pieces or if they're scattered in different instances.

Agreed, any old elite or even rare gear that doesn't require renown should be available, perhaps if you've at least completed the instance where they're supposed to drop. A lot of the old ones don't even have feat points attached to it and only titles. I've gotten lucky sometimes like when I got Darkseid's chestpiece from DWF during STU last year.

Yeah, renown sets you should still need to complete renown for...although old renowns could use a 2nd look at some point too...but drops? Nah, those should be available at a vendor, or should be changed to a drop 'box' where you choose one of 8 pieces, like we used to with Pride, corrupted, exalted, Dept of Corrections and Biohazard. You run the content, you get a box....you do that 8x and you can complete the set.

Old renown that doesn't have at least a solo/duo where you can grind it yourself I can understand, but aside from league/friends willing to run with you'd be hard-pressed to find enough people to grind the old elite raids for the renown. Exceptions would be like PanE, DME, and COUE but primarily because of the rare drops with feats attached. The only surefire way right now to get all your renown is SFFE, but that's only during the anniversary event.

Yeah, but WHEN you can get a group, you are guaranteed a certain amount of runs, and you will be done with the set. For older elite styles, like Nuclear or Herald of the Black, you could run those runs 100+ times and still be missing a piece...so add in the difficulty of getting the group, then add RNG to it.

Personally, I'll take the chore of setting the group up over rolling the dice. But yeah, the solo/duo option is nice....for the few runs we have.

And yeah....those SFFE boxes are pretty sweet. Gotta remember to hit that hard this year and cap off any old renowns I need on some alts.

Unfortunately, I don't have info on the mission names (and the wiki is no help here) but:

Magic - (hero) use Circe's scrying pool to learn where she's hiding stolen exobytes, then recover them. (villain) take back Circe;s scrying pool from the Sentinels, then keep Wonder Woman's amazons from taking back the stolen exobytes.

Meta - (hero) stop Lex Luthor from kidnapping Dr. Jenet Klyburn, then stop him from taking over S.T.A.R. Labs's exobyte research. (villain) I don't remember, exactly, but it's the same maps as the hero mission.

Tech - (hero) stop the Joker's goons from taking over the Gotham SCU mainframe, then go to the hotel, where Joker's goon have crashed a special event being held for the SCU. (villain) Take over the Gotham SCU mainframe, then go to the hotel and crash the SCU event.

I was able to finish the entire Aerial Defender set today on my Villain healer. Some pieces dropped from Old Star Labs (chest, legs, heads for sure), and some from Metropolis University (the waist for sure, that took the longest).

Still not sure about the Robotic style. I'm checking some Magic villain pre-30 walk-in treasure chests.
