Overview
Alignment Merits are a special salvage awarded as part of the Alignment system introduced in Issue 18. Initially there were two types of alignment merits: "Hero Alignment Merits" and "Villain Alignment Merits", but Rebirth Issue 2 introduced "Rogue Alignment Merits" and "Vigilante Alignment Merits".
Obtaining Merits
There are three ways to obtain alignment merits:
- Complete Morality Missions
- Purchase at a rate of 50 Reward Merits and 20 million Inf for each Alignment Merit
- By completing a Signature Story Arc episode for the first time (once per character, must have reinforced Hero or Villain alignment at least once)
- By completing any Signature Story Arc episode which has already been completed once (once a week, must have reinforced Hero or Villain alignment at least once)
- All completed Signature Story Arc episodes share the same reward table, meaning you can only earn an alignment merit once a week regardless of how many completed Signature Story Arc episodes you play
Editor's Note: Currently only Hero and Villain alignment merits are awarded from signature story arcs, but this is believed to have been an oversight, that should be corrected in the future |
Spending Merits
Alignment Merits can be spent at Alignment Vendors to purchase most Recipes, including Purple Recipes and PvP Recipes.
- The Alignment Vendor for heroes is the storage box next to B.O.T.L.E.R. in Fort Trident.
- The Alignment Vendor for villains is the trash next to Trashcan in The Crucible.
- The Alignment Vendor for vigilantes is the Vigilante Merit Vendor in King's Row on the east side of the plaza in front of Paragon Police Department.
- The Alignment Vendor for rogues is the Rogue Merit Vendor in Cap Au Diable to the south east of the Black Market
B.O.T.L.E.R., Trashcan and the Rogue/Vigilante Merit Vendors are also the contacts for converting Reward Merits and Inf to Alignment Merits.
Availability was originally based on the cost of the recipe from a Merit Vendor in Reward Merits, but due to an economy update this is no longer true.
- Uncommon Recipes are not available for purchase.
- Recipes from the Rare Enemy Drop or Mission Drop Pool are 1 merit.
- Recipes from the Random Rare Recipe Roll (Formerly Pools C and D) are 2 merits.
- PVP Recipes are 30 for a standard and 35 merits for a special recipe.
- Very Rare (Purple) Recipes are 20 for a standard and 25 for a special recipe.
- Winter Enhancements and Overwhelming Force are 8 for a standard and 9 for a special recipe.*
- Heroes and Villains may also purchase 4 uses of Team Transport Power for 1 merit and 1.5 million Inf.
- Heroes and Villains may also purchase 5 uses of the Signature Summon Power for 1 merit and 1.5 million Inf.
* not all Winter Enhancements are available.
Historical
- Prior to Rebirth Issue 2, Alignment Merits could only be earned and possessed while a character maintained their respective alignments (Hero for Hero Alignment Merits, Villain for Villain Alignment Merits). Changing alignments would forfeit all unspent Alignment Merits.
- Prior to Rebirth Issue 2, the first time you completed a morality mission for a given alignment you were awarded 50 reward merits instead of an alignment merit.
Availability was originally based on the cost of the recipe from a Merit Vendor in Reward Merits prior to their cost updates in Rebirth Issue 2.
- Items that cost less than 100 Reward Merits are not available for purchase.
- Items that cost 100-199 Reward Merits cost 1 Alignment Merit.
- Items that cost 200-299 Reward Merits cost 2 Alignment Merits.
- Items that cost 300 or more Reward Merits do not exist, but would presumably follow the same pattern.
- Items that cannot be purchased with Reward Merits have a special pricing scheme (purples, PVP IOs, Respecs, costume parts, etc).
