Overview

Infamy is the currency in City of Villains players earn by defeating enemies within a certain range of their own Threat Level. It is supposedly based off of the infamy citizens think of you with, because of your "dastardly deeds". It can be used to buy Enhancements / Inspirations, edit Costumes, and change a player's difficulty level for missions.

Infamy, like Influence, can be used at stores and contacts to buy Inspirations, Enhancements, at Facemaker tailors to change Costumes, and can be traded, although only to other Villains. It is also used at the Black Market to purchase the above items as well as recipes, Salvage (both base and invention types) and Invention Origin enhancements. It also is required for the invention system at an invention workbench for purchase of "basic" recipes and spent in the invention process of turning salvage and recipes in to Invention Origin enhancements, Temporary Powers and invented costume pieces.

Notes

  • Infamy is the exact opposite of Influence (hero currency)
  • Infamy and Influence cannot be traded, even through Pocket D
  • Infamy can be converted to prestige at the Super Group Registrar at an exorberent rate.
  • Infamy is capped at 2 billion. You can earn more, but it won't be recorded and the system will still see it as 2 billion.
