Okay, two things.

First, this weekend parties will be getting increased xp for all members when you form up (+50%), so it really does work to start parties when working X-Def or Midtown. Or even just cruising through the game.

Second, if anyone has runes they want to try and trade, or Uru items they want to trade, let me know, I'm looking for a few specifics and have a pretty concrete stash of things to work with. Thanks!

(P.S. Wanda is back to being level 51... it's a bit frightening as she's now got the Mental Focus Headband from MODOK as well as the Gloves. Hehehehe.)

I got some runes. I'll help you out if I can.

I'm tempted by the couples bundle they're offering this weekend.

Wolvie, Emma, Jean, Cyke, with two costumes each and athe respective stash tabs, plus some rarity boost stuff. I have Emma at 7, but Cyke and Jean are on my preferred list and Wolvie is Wolvie.

Has anyone played these toons? Are they worthwhile?

Yeah, I found Cyke and Jean to both be pretty fun (have them at 60). Wolvie I haven't played much but he seems interesting. Bleed and slash.

Decisions, decisions. Honestly Gambit, Rocket, Colossus, and Nightcrawler are all higher wants, but the extra costumes and stash tabs would be very nice. And my Troll & Toad money came in on Wednesday, so I've got about $100 to play with.

Bah, damn my videogame addiction.

Heh, Marvel Heroes isn't TOO bad in that regard. Sadly about the only hero I think I don't have in their V-Day sale is Panther. And I have no interest.

The fact that Marvel just shoehorned it all in felt very off to me, and that kinda colored my perception of BP ever since. Not reasonable but there it is.

Was fun gaming with you guys (IR, Kris, hail) last night, plus I got Wolvie to 21. Rokk, if you're reading this, toss KrisL an invite to our group eh? I know RL is crazy for you, but if you could sneak on for a few seconds to do that it'd be great. Thanks!

(I'd PM you, but we both know how well THAT works. )

Cube Shards - what should I be spending these on?

My gut says to save them until 60 and then buy a bunch of ghost boxes for shots at some gear and whatnot?

Sometimes the vendor will have fortune cards for 10 shards. Buy those.

Also it costs 10 cube shards to prestige a character. Alternatively, if you need to level up a crafter/vendor, they are worth a decent amount to donate if you wanted to do so.

Got my Enchanter to 19 now. KE KE KE KE. Almost max!

Heh, I'm still working on my crafter.

Does anyone have Luke Cage? I picked up a lvl 42 Unique for him, Wrecker's crowbar. I'll give it to anyone who can actually use it.

I think SL does, but as we discussed in the chat you can't trade uniques.

Believe me, I wish we could, I have extra fun stuff for your Wanda. And speaking of which... she's back to 60! And a full slate of her uniques to boot, though they aren't all leveled to 60 yet. (Gloves are 50, Brotherhood Cloak is 50, Slippers 57, and Mark and Headdress at 60.)

Getting closer! I'm just a hair away from 57 on Ms. M. Still need 150 odin marks for a legendary though...

So here's a question: Once I hit 60, I'm sure I'll still need at least 100 more marks for my legendary. Do I continue grinding them on a level 60 Ms. Marvel or do I grind them on another character so they can benefit from the XP that legendary quests give?

I would probably grind a diff character, because 1) they can then benefit from the xp and 2) rerolling a crap LQ is cheaper if the level is lower.

I've decided that I need to get Cyke to 50 before his basic "kill all the things!" attack gets seriously nerfed. Because with his current build at level 13, I don't think I even use powers that consume spirit.

I've got a Cyclops that I haven't leveled yet. Now you've got me intrigued.


Edit: Oh! Ricochet Blast! Yeah, that one is crazy good!

Hit 59 last night with Ms. M. So close! Also got her unique mask. Will upgrade to 60 whenever I get my crafter leveled up. He's almost to 15 I think? I believe he needs to be 19 to upgrade a unique to 60 though.

Next up after Ms. M - gonna steal hail_eris' idea and level up cyclops while it's still super easy.
