Work in Progress
This article is currently a work in progress. As such, it may contain some editing notes in addition to information. Please be patient, it is being worked on and will be in a finished state before long!

Pool A (Critters)

Recipes from pool A are obtained by defeating enemies. Each time you receive a reward for defeating an enemy, the enemy defeated has a random chance of dropping one pool A recipe. (Giant Monsters are the exception to this rule.)

In addition to the uncommon and rare recipes listed below, drop pool A also includes all common enhancement and temp power recipes.

The level of a dropped pool A recipe is determined by the level of the mob that drops it. For example, if a level 34 mob is defeated, the any uncommon or rare recipe dropped will be level 34. A common recipe dropped by the same enemy would be either level 30 or 35. (Temporary power recipes are always level 10.)

Pool B (Missions)

Recipes in pool B are awarded for completing missions. Every time you complete a mission, each team member who receives the mission completion bonus will have a random chance of obtaining a pool B recipe.

It appears that the recipe selection is based off of the mission's level, but the recipe's level is based off the character's level. Thus, a level 50 character exemplared to a level 15 mission may receive a drop from a level 10-20 pool. That drop will then attempt to be matched to the character's actual level; since the pool doesn't extend to 50, it maxes the recipe out at 20.

Pool C (Task Forces)

See also: Pool C Drops By Level

Recipes in drop pool C are awarded by selecting them from the reward table presented at the end of any task force. As such, the chance of a drop is 100% at task force completion (provided you choose the recipe as your reward), leaving only the actual recipe awarded to chance.

The level of a dropped pool C recipe is dependent on the level of the character claiming the reward. For example, if a level 42 character completes a task force and claims a recipe as a reward, the level of the recipe dropped will be 42.

Pool D (Trials)

Recipes in drop pool D are awarded by selection from the reward table presented at the end of any trial. As such, the chance of a drop is 100% at trial completion (provided you choose the recipe as your reward), leaving only the actual recipe awarded to chance.

The level of a dropped pool D recipe is dependent on the level of the trial, which in turn is related to the levels of the characters on the team. For example, if a trial spawns level 27 enemies, the level of a recipe claimed by one of the characters on that team will be 27. Trials spawn at the level of the highest-level character on the team, regardless of whether that character is exemplared, up to the maximum level for the trial. For that reason, Pool D recipes at 33, 43, and 50 are much more common than recipes at other levels.

Note that only the respec trials generate Pool D recipes; the Cavern of Transcendence trial drops from Pool B (missions pool), while the Eden trial drops from Pool C (Task Force pool). This design choice by the developers was apparently intended to equalize available pools between heroes and villains.

Pool E (Minions Only)

Recipes in the pool E are similar to recipes in pool A in that they are rewarded for defeating enemies. Pool E recipes, however, are only awarded for defeating enemies ranked as minions. (It is possible for a single defeated minion to drop both a pool A and a pool E recipe.)

All recipes in drop pool E are level 10 recipes, regardless of the level of minion defeated.
