:''Main Article'': [[Merit Rewards]]


[[Issue 13]] introduced [[Merit Rewards]], which included a reworking of the reward system to obtain [[Invention System|Invention]] [[Recipe]]s from [[Task Force]]s, [[Trial]]s, and [[Story Arc]]s.
[[Merit Rewards]] are granted upon completion of [[Task Force]]s, [[Strike Force]]s, [[Trial]]s, [[Story Arc]]s, [[Giant Monster]] defeats, and some [[Special Events]].


Task Forces give an average of 1 merit every 5 minutes of average time (12 merits an hour), Trials give an average of 1 merit every 4.5 minutes (13-14 merits an hour), and Story Arcs give an average of 1 merit every 12.5 minutes (4-5 merits an hour). The reason for this major difference is due to the considerable time and effort Task/Strike Forces can take to set up and complete, so naturally these tasks grant a much greater reward.
[[Story Arcs]] and badge missions for cooperative zones are shown here in the order presented by the [[Flashback|Flashback System]] in [[Ouroboros]]. The levels ranges for [[Flashback]]s ''do not necessarily match'' the level ranges when these Story Arcs are offered by [[Contacts]].  See either [[Hero Story Arcs]] or [[Souvenirs (City of Heroes)|Hero Souvenirs]] for heroes, or [[Villain Story Arcs]] or [[Souvenirs (City of Villains)|Villain Souvenirs]] for villains, to see the level ranges when offered by Contacts.

Overview

Main Article: Merit Rewards

Merit Rewards are granted upon completion of Task Forces, Strike Forces, Trials, Story Arcs, Giant Monster defeats, and some Special Events.

Story Arcs and badge missions for cooperative zones are shown here in the order presented by the Flashback System in Ouroboros. The levels ranges for Flashbacks do not necessarily match the level ranges when these Story Arcs are offered by Contacts. See either Hero Story Arcs or Hero Souvenirs for heroes, or Villain Story Arcs or Villain Souvenirs for villains, to see the level ranges when offered by Contacts.

For the following summaries, there are various options that an activity can involve, as follows:

  • Door Missions: An instanced mission that only teammates can enter.
    • Defeat All: Requires defeating all enemies in the instance.
  • Talks: Deliver information or items to or obtain information or items from an NPC other than the contact.
    • In a regular Story Arc, only the mission holder may complete the talk mission.
    • In a Task Force, Strike Force, or Trial, anyone on the team may complete the talk mission, not just the mission holder.
  • Hunts: Defeat enemy critters, sometimes restricted to a particular zone.
    • Ambushes of the required enemy faction often accompany hunt missions.
  • Patrols: Explore a zone by "calling in" at (clicking on) specific items, including pay phones and other items.
  • Contains tough enemy critters:
    • EB: Contains an Elite Boss, which does not upgrade into an Archvillain/Hero, even when Notoriety and team size is high enough.
    • AV: Contains an Archvillain/Hero, which may or may not downgrade into an Elite Boss, depending on Notoriety and team size.
      • AVs in most Task Forces, Strike Forces, and Trials do not downgrade.
      • Ouroboros Task Forces and Strike Forces are Story Arcs that utilize the TF function, thus AVs/etc. will downgrade like in a Story Arc.
    • Monster: Contains a Monster, whose defeat is usually required to advance the story.
    • GM: Contains a Giant Monster, whose defeat is usually not required to advance the story.
