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:

Incarnate Trial - Tier 2:

Incarnate Trial - Tier 3:

Weekly Strike Target

Completing the Weekly Strike Target for the first time each week on a max level character that receives a Notice of the Well salvage, will also earn 1-2 Prismatic Aether Particle salvage depending on the length of the content completed.

The following Weekly Strike Targets reward 1 Prismatic Aether Particle:

The following Weekly Strike Targets reward 2 Prismatic Aether Particles:


Halloween Event

Main Article: Trick or Treat Enemy Defeat Badges

In an update alongside the Halloween Event 2022, five new Defeat badges were added for defeating the new Elite Bosses that can spawn when Trick-or-Treating. Each of these defeat badges also grant 2 Prismatic Aether Particles, for a total of 10 per character.

Used For

Currently, other than selling at Auction Houses, Prismatic Aether Particles only serve two purposes- to purchase Permanent Costume Powers from any BenevoLabs Hologram Vendor, and to purchase a singular Accolade Badge granting a menu for easier costume management.

Purchasable Badges

Currently only one badge is purchasable for 50 Prismatic Aether Particles.

This badge grants a popmenu accolade power to easily access a list of costumes that a character has acquired.

Costume Powers

Costume Powers are predominantly split into three tiers. At the time of writing, only Tier 1 costumes are available.

Tier 1 - Standard Costumes

These costumes all cost 10 Prismatic Aether Particles. The majority of Tier 1 costumes can be purchased temporarily as Halloween Costumes
