In this video, I tell you how you can earn your own free teleporter AND make some good money doing it. NOTE: Since the newest patch, my info at 3m20secs is a bit out of date. Instead of requiring the 8 exploration merits in Atlas Park, you must unlock any 10 exploration merits to get the free teleportation ability. I still recommend going the first 8 in Atlus since they are easy and give you 5 ...
City of Heroes Homecoming - Story Arcs for Merit Rewards In Ouroboros

Working your way through Story arcs is a great way to level up AND earn sweet merit rewards (good for cold, hard in-game money!) But if you want to run with your friends and have everyone earn those rewards, the game can be a bit clunky. That's where Ouroboros and flashback missions come into the equation. They are like Task forces, but smaller! And you can run them anytime! Looking for an awes...

Come back to us.. it’s time
Ignore this video. Go to Pocket D, turn on the broadcast chat, say "Looking for fire farm". Enjoy.
Just so everyone knows Homecomeing does not have an Official License of any kind!
I like long CZcams videos. Just saying’. Currently playing Coh: homecoming on Excelsior. Your videos have been handy and informative
Most taskforces dependent on AT you can solo/duo ok, there are a few you can't, but as a friend and I do this all the time, plus you can do most of them in under an hour, heck, we did a mad dash once of 4 Yin in an hour as he had an hour spare when it was the weekly. People fixating on needing 8 to go is a problem, certainly a couple, MLTF and LRSF for example, kind of demand it but most, the TF Cmdr ones, dont need anywhere near it. For CoH the HC server is way more populated than the others, by a factor of 10 or mmore to the nearest one, Rebirth, which whilst it has some nice innovation it lacks the QoL enhancements of HC and seems to have developed a ideological slant these days
I'd recomend trying the other servers. Homecoming is not designed well at all and their balance changes show that. Give Rebirth or Thunderspy a look. They're much more stable and have content closer to how CoH should be.
Awesome vid. Just found out i was sitting on 95 merits. 😅
Thanks for previewing this game. I haven't ever played HoMM but this looks pretty cool, although I could see it getting repetitive after awhile. I'll probably pick it up during a sale.
my face when you clicked into the free powers and pets, omg. instant thumbs up! thanks phil :)
Glad you liked it!
all i did this weekend was make lowbies and i still learned stuff here :D
That's awesome! I hope you enjoy the game!
i just found you! thank you for everything you've left behind for us. best wishes! <3
Thank you! I'll make some new videos about something...video games, RPGs, theology...who knows! Thank you for the encouragement!
i have a bunch of lowbies where i was having fun, but as soon as my enhancements fell off i didn't know what to do because i was broke :'D thank you <3
You're very welcome! :)
Hey Phil, I enjoyed our conversation the other afternoon. It was very insightful. Def will chit-chat with you anytime you're free. This is Frank BTW, just so you're not confused on who the heck I am. LOL
Sounds good! You know how to get a hold of me :)
I had the same situation on Reunion back when I played on the server years ago, and ended up moving to Excelsior and it's a whole different world filled with plenty of things to do and run <3 I hope you find what's right for you to do though hun!
Good stuff! Indeed, there are more populated servers. I'll post some more stuff soon!
I love long youtube videos =)
We have that in common then! :) Thank you for the encouragement!
Amazing video, this helped me alot! Gonna keep checking the rest of your cotnent =)
Glad to hear it! Thank you for the kind words!
Hey Phil! I so agree with you! I doing what I do because I enjoying doing it :) Yeah I need to go back and play more Monster Hunter! So you can count on me, I be there whatever you do :)
It's the LIVVVINNNGGGG LEGENDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realy like your videos, calming!
Hey, thank you for that! I have received numerous comments about that, so I think I'll do some videos on other games with this low vibe approach :) Have a great day!
a lot of the reason a massive amount of my friends left was it's frustrating to solo some content and late at night which is when we all play but at various times , it's dead. Modern games give us the option to solo everything, a good example is swtor, soloing everything pretty much but pvp. Most of us like soloing or douing, kind of a younger generation than the other people I met in game are. Another reason was no new costume pieces. At least 70+ people in our specific discord went to one of the other coh servers for costume pieces and new powersets. Hopefully Homecoming does something in the future because it felt the most professionally run, but pro games also release things, even modders for numerous games I play release new things on nexusmods. I'm mostly in other games now too.
I hear ya :) You're totally right. There's a lot you can solo, but soloing task forces requires specific builds and/or some powerful items. I'm doing WoW Pandaria and might do a video on it soon. Though, honestly, there's already a ton of videos on it, lol. :)
You will be missed. Thank you for all that you do. Keeping you in my prayers.
Sad to hear you go for now but thanks for sharing. I also noticed a drop in players on other servers and I usually play on excelsior now.
helpful hint for you and others running this arc. the bosses in mission 2 always make a little speech when you approach. kill that mob
22.07
hmm?
@@jcservantw6496 No it is awesome for the loot... I just came bk a few months ago, but was on live. Need to leave a bit after COV. Just got my 2 50, so farm, farm.. Is it me or are controller's missing something? Mine on live was a fire/ice, and could go into combat. Lay fire burn and like ice sheet and watch them burn, you can not do that now days. But please share your fun builds she looks very cool!
3 or 4 years ago when I was playing regularly, I would take 20 - 30 min every day to do this. Made multiple billions before I took a break from the game. Just recently picked it back up after the news about it being officially licensed perked my interest again. Nice to see that it still works the same
Tankers also have 90% resist cap, but they have more HPs.
Thanks for the help and refresher 🙂👍
No problem 👍
i don't have 10s or 100s of millions of influence to burn through so i buy DOs until i hit level 22. i then start to craft lvl 25 IOs. at that point i can trade in merits for the enhancement converters or boosters if i need to buy crafting material from the auction house. i won't look into sets until i'm able to slot lvl 50 enhancements.
So if you do a single story art, you usually have enough INF to complete sets of IOs up through the teens. Your next story arc (which only takes you up to level 10 with triple xp from my experience on reunion) doubles that. Money really isn't an issue in this game, even super early on. Check out my video on that subject. The problem with running SOs through those levels is that you really waste more money due to opportunity costs. You're getting through your teen levels slower because you're killing slower. That's hours tacked onto your leveling experience that you're not at level 50 where you make (generally at least) 1 mil INF/hour through kills alone - to speak nothing of the 3-10 mil INF/hour you make with higher level story arcs. So by purchasing SO's early via the merit reward conversion method, you actually make more money in the long run -- more than enough to cover the higher cost by far. Just as another example, last night I ran Freaklympics with a friend (level 29). We earned 57 merits in 2 hours - worth about 10 mil INF.
@@jcservantw6496 good, tip ,thx, i'll check it out
It's been ten years since I played this last, Great to see it back. Thanks for the videos very helpful for new and returning players.
Thank you for that! I hope you enjoy the game!
Just subbed. I had no idea what any of this was until your video. Very helpful, Thank you for sharing this!
I'm glad this helped!
How do you get the auction house screen inside the university?
Type /ah into the chat :)
Thank you so much! This helped me immensely! Liked and subscribed!
Awesome. That's great to hear!
thanks for the vid JC, only thing is can we get that voice audio up a bit so we can get that knowledge youre spillin to us! thank you for the video brother!
Salutations! Thank you for watching! So, normally my voice is low and to make matters worse, the mic pics up things lower than normal despite anything I do. I normally compensate for this via a gain boost filter in post production. You had me worried I forgot about it, but in looking the video over, it seems to be normal to me. Which is, to say, it may sound a little softer than other CZcamsrs, but not by too much. (I can only push that gain so far before it gets distorted). I could talk with a lot more energy like some of those really crazy CZcamsrs though! :D But that's not been my style recently. As I get older, I get more chillllll.
18:08 Which glowie mod? Thanks in advance, @Wildlight
Salutations! It's called "Glowie - Music Box" and can be easily downloaded via the City mod installer. Head on over to forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/49175-city-mod-installer-released/
I'm noticing a lot of players not realizing they have access to two character builds. You could do a short vid showing off how to access your second build , and why you might want to use them. 1 optimized for high lvl content, 1 optimized for exemplaring , or for pvp, or just for fun etc.
I might have to do that. To be honest, I never used or look into the feature myself, because it requires two completely different sets of gear. And if I'm going to go through that kind of expense and trouble, I'd rather just have two different characters. That way, I can experience new ATs and powersets while creating that character made for a different purpose.
@@jcservantw6496 The main reason i use it, is if ive made it 50 and have a character I really enjoy and want to maximize for level 50 content, well those level 50 builds often don't exemplar well, so having a second basic build to use when exemplaring in lower content helps. I don't PvP but i hear others have PVP specific builds as well.
@@Greldek Yeah, it depends. Purple sets exemplar SUPER well... better than normal attuned as purple set bonuses work at all levels. So if you love a toon THAT much and are looking to get a second set...chances are you're just better off going for the gold at that point. Also, lower level content is balanced around lower level characters running SO's. So having a separate set just to get set bonuses so one can be above the curve for those seems like a bit overkill for me. But, I get it. Feeling powerful is fun. I'd just rather use a separate character and try out different ATs and powersets. Having different characters for different content and different group needs is part of the fun of the game IMHO. I don't know of any players myself that only have one character and is as focused as you suggest. How about you? Do you just run one character?
@@jcservantw6496 For me its mainly some of my 50 builds don't have good attacks once i exemplar. they can be very top heavy power pick wise, and i could be skimping on accuracy or endurance managment to get more power out of a build, while relying on incarnates to make up for it. which don't exemplar either
actually at 50 you have 3 builds. i generally do 1)attuned for exemplaring, 2)boosted for hardmode/incarnate, and 3) pvp if i want to on that AT
Hey! A fellow brother in Christ who is also playing COH and is also an Artist and has strong theological beliefs. You got my sub brother! Thanks for the guides. Keep em coming.
Hey, thanks! Feel free to hit me up on discord (at JCServant). We can chat and run sometime!
@@jcservantw6496 I joined the server. I don't do discord much so not sure how to message ya. But the server looks cool. I'll have to figure out how to utilize it better.
I only reached 50 last week with an elec/elec def (alt-aholic, love shiny new characters *shrug*), so I don’t have any experience with lvl 50 content. What would be my goal when I finally create incarnates? Plug defences/resists so I’m less squishy? Boost my support powers so I defend harder/better/faster/stronger? Is there room to do all the things with the six different slots?
So after I hit 50, hopefully I have 100-200 mil in influence either via reward merits, playing the AH, or both. With that, the first order of business is buying low-end sets, which primarily boost defense so any character is less squishy.
use bonuses to fix any problem areas with a toon. that frees up your incarnate choices to beef up your strengths. if none really help you look for anything that can help a team
Thank you! Might I suggest a video detailing some of the fun / interesting story arcs? I’m currently trying to enjoy the stories from the good old days, but idk where to go after the Hollows lol I’m embarrassed because I have like 4 50s.
Hey, I have 5 50's, so we're in the same boat! But I might just do that! Ouroborous is your friend for catching those story arcs up (see my video on Ouro). Also, it can help to find a group that just wants to run story lines. I made one in our SG and we run villain story lines twice/week. We read it all aloud. Tis fun!
@@jcservantw6496 ^^^^^^^
One thing to remember about water is the mechanic ( Tidal ) which empowers certain powers ( orange circle indicates which ones and that they are currently empowered ) This boosts damage. A quick way to build tidal is to lay down whirlpool and a few single target pops will usually be enough. Most of the abilities have decently short timers. I find I can cast several whirlpools in an average fight. My main is a Water Blaster :) I went fire as the secondary because fire, amirite?
Whirlpool is soooo gooood. I may create a water sentinel just to have MORE water!
This is a good video, thanks for showing your technique! In the future, it would be nice from the audience's perspective if you come back later that night or next day and show that the items have actually sold in the AH and show the actual profit, seeing is believing!
Yeah...I thought about that after I made the video. For those in our guild, I've have shared my screen so they can see the day after. I usually make 1-2 million per enhancement. So in doing a 10-pack, I usually walk around with 15 mil.
Nice addition to your first video. See ya Monday ;)
Thanks! You too!
Thanks for the great content!
My pleasure!
Showing a cool build while doing a guide is a good idea! Is there a fast mission like this that gives decent reward merits?
THere sure are! I like the low-level villain ones where you can earn 8 in 15 minutes. We also have Freaklympics on hero side where you can earn 50 in 90 minutes (or less!) . Come join us for fun ouro runs!
Thank you, JCServant! Edit: Holds! That category is my favorite! Neurotic into Basilisk conversions light my eyes up every time ;$ Love, from Excelsior! Global @Giga Smurf
Glad you like it!
Excellent overview
Thank you!
Still tying to figure this out. Video was very helpful ❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
I found water blast to be great
So much FUN.
what about purple io?
Purples would be in another video "High End sets". Generally speaking, most people only have somewhere between 10 and 200 million when they hit 50, and do not have nearly enough INF to start buying purples. After playing that first end gear toon for a long time (or after sitting in on a LOT of farms), a character with 400 mil INF to 2 Billion can look at One or more sets there.
Purples are great if that’s how you want to build a toon. But you can mix in other sets as well. You don’t need a full set of purples if the bonus on them aren’t what you want. My dominator only has 11 purps (6 on my fire fire imps) the rest is orange and yellows mixed in. There is a page called Mids Reborn and it allows you to slot your build and check stats to get the best end results.
The easiest way to make money (INF) as a New Character in COH/COV is to be Level 50. Buy up a whole play session worth of X2 XP Buffs from the S.T.A.R.T. (P2W) Vendor (you will not make INF). Run 4-5 "Death from Below" Trials to get the Power Buffs, and then get on the Task Force Train. A day or two at L50 running Weekly Strike Force (double Merit Bonus) plus an iTrial or 2, and you'll be 50+ Million INF (possibly 100M even). I usually don't worry too much about optimizing powers until I'm 50. Also, jump on Zone Events: Rikti Invasion, Zombie, and Nemesis. Attuned Enhancements bought with Merits are your friend. Take some time to get at least one Exploration Badge in each Zone to unlock it in the Long Range Teleporter. Ignore all this if you plan to run level specific content... lol.
I have 7 lvl 50s and I am working on my rad/martial combat blaster’s build on everlasting which is completely oped I love this game always will be my very first mmo game during live on the freedom server
That's awesome! Come visit us on reunion sometime! :D
I hate this game. I hate feeling weak. I hate doing everything I was supposed to yet still feeling weak. I have no control in my personal life and I can't even get any control in a virtual world even after taking all the advice of others and doing what I was supposed to. I hate being punished for no reason despite all my efforts.
Salutations. I'm sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you need enhancements on your powers? If you don't, your character will get weaker, compared to the mobs, over time. If you want to join us in the server, we can chat and find out what's going on. I've played 5 different characters to 50 and I don't ever feel weak.
