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 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 in Advanced Mode, 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 salvage. This doesn't require the character to be level 50.

Advanced Mode

Advanced Mode 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 Mode - 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 Mode - Imperious Task Force:

  • ☆ 1-Star = 4 Prismatic Aether salvage.
  • ☆☆ 2-Star = (4+7) 11 Prismatic Aether salvage.
  • ☆☆☆ 3-Star = (4+7+6) 17 Prismatic Aether salvage.
  • ☆☆☆☆ 4-Star = (4+7+6+7) 24 Prismatic Aether salvage.

Advanced Mode - The Lady Grey Task Force:

  • ☆ 1-Star = 2 Prismatic Aether salvage.
  • ☆☆ 2-Star = (2+5) 7 Prismatic Aether salvage.
  • ☆☆☆ 3-Star = (2+5+6) 13 Prismatic Aether salvage.
  • ☆☆☆☆ 4-Star = (2+5+6+9) 22 Prismatic Aether 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.
