Alignment Mission

Overview

Alignment Missions are obtained from Tips dropped by enemies. They are part of the process for changing or reaffirming a character's alignment.

Completing an Alignment Mission will award characters with one point of Public Fame aligned with the mission - provided the character is eligible for that alignment and does not currently have five points of Public Fame. Whenever a point of Public Fame is awarded, a character will earn a corresponding Alignment Point - up to a maximum of 10 points. Note that completing an Alignment Mission that you are aligned with even if owned by someone else will still earn you Public Fame (per the rules for Public Fame).

After accumulating 10 Alignment Points for a particular alignment, the next Tip to drop will be for a Morality Mission of that alignment.

Example

Hauptmann Neinhosen is a Villain character with no Alignment Points and no Public Fame. If Hauptmann Neinhosen completes a Villain Alignment Mission, he will earn one point of Villain Public Fame and one Villain Alignment Point. Similarly, completing a Rogue Alignment Mission would earn one point of Rogue Public Fame and a Rogue Alignment Point. Since Hauptmann Neinhosen is a Villain and Villains cannot become Vigilantes, he cannot complete a Vigilante Alignment Mission.

Mission Alignment

The Alignment Missions a character will have access to will depend on their current alignment and location when viewing a Tip.

Current Alignment	Location	Missions Available
Hero	Paragon City	Hero Vigilante
Rogue	Paragon City	Hero
	Rogue Isles	Rogue Villain
Vigilante	Paragon City	Hero Vigilante
	Rogue Isles	Villain
Villain	Rogue Isles	Rogue Villain

Completing an Alignment Mission

You're willing to work with just about anybody if the pay is good enough.

Alignment Missions

Special Circumstances

Unless otherwise stated, all Special Circumstances tip missions will drop from defeating enemies level 20 or higher, and will drop even if the character has three Tips currently on hand.

• Halloween 2010 introduced the Whispered Rumor Tip, uncovering more details about the Malleus Mundi, available only during that event. This mission is available to any character above level 20.

• Issue 20 introduced Wizard's Weakness (also called "Sinister Plot" in the Tip list); it is the only way to unlock Mortimer Kal, the contact for the Strike Force The Fire and the Flames. This mission is only available to villains above level 20. Like unlocking Katie Hannon, only the leader is required to unlock this contact.

Note

Even players who have not applied a Going Rogue code to their account can access Alignment Missions and earn Alignment Points and Public Fame. They cannot, however, continue on to the Morality Missions required to actually change or reaffirm alignment.
