Prismatic Aether Salvage

Description

Special Salvage

These strange aether particles are found when intensity distortions surrounding an individual's fate are resolved, such as completing Incarnate Trials or Advanced Difficulty modes.

This salvage can be brought to a BenevoLabs Hologram Vendor found in Vault Reserve locations and exchanged for permanent Prestige Costume Powers or traded to other players.

How to Get

This salvage is acquired primarily through challenging group content at Security/Threat Level 50. Specifically, Incarnate Trials and Task Forces/Strike Forces on Advanced Difficulty, as well as the Weekly Strike Target and as a very rare drop chance from standard missions. Notably, all consistent sources have a lockout system.

Mission Completion

Every time a character completes a mission map, they have a 2% chance to receive a Prismatic Aether Particle salvage. This doesn't require the character to be level 50.

Advanced Difficulty

Advanced Difficulty content works on a four-tiered drop system, where there are four difficulty level rewards each with their own 18-hour drop lockouts. Completing content on Advanced Difficulty rewards the maximum value of the difficulty minus any completions of lower values from the character on the same day.

Advanced Difficulty - Dr. Aeon Strike Force:

• ☆ 1-Star = 2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• ☆☆ 2-Star = (2+5) 7 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• ☆☆☆ 3-Star = (2+5+6) 13 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• ☆☆☆☆ 4-Star = (2+5+6+7) 20 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.

Advanced Difficulty - Imperious Task Force:

• ☆ 1-Star = 2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• ☆☆ 2-Star = (2+5) 7 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• ☆☆☆ 3-Star = (2+5+6) 13 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• ☆☆☆☆ 4-Star = (2+5+6+7) 20 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.

Incarnate Trials

Incarnate Trials work on a three-tiered drop system, where there are three rewards each with their own 18-hour drop lockouts. Completing a trial rewards the tier it belongs to and any under it.

Incarnate Trial - Tier 1:

• Behavioral Adjustment Facility Trial = 1 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• Lambda Sector Trial = 1 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.

Incarnate Trial - Tier 2:

• Keyes Island Reactor Trial = (1+1) 2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• Dilemma Diabolique Trial = (1+1) 2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• Minds of Mayhem Trial = (1+1) 2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• Magisterium Trial = (1+1) 2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.

Incarnate Trial - Tier 3:

• The Underground Trial = (1+1+1) 3 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
• TPN Campus Trial = (1+1+1) 3 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage.
