Muspelheim is the first ever large-scale raid in an Action RPG. Surtur is the end boss on this one.

Raids usually happen on Wednesdays, at "night" (American time) although a schedule isn't set in stone.
They reset every week, so this is an ideal time slot to have them.

So you just started and don't know where to go from here? This is just a quick beginner's guide that covers most of the common questions new people have.

- One handy in game resource you'll want to check is the in-game HELP. Press ESC and then go to the HELP menu.

It contains all sort of useful info on many of the game's commands, systems and modes.

- When picking your STARTER HERO consider the type of gameplay you like: ranged, melee, pet-based, summoner, etc.There's a ton of variety within the game. Once you are in, the first thing you'll want to do is complete the Story Mode.
Story Mode will teach you the basics and give you rewards that will help you out later, like currency to buy more heroes (once per account). There are 3 difficulties for story mode, and many quests will give you rewards again in every different difficulty setting. Some like permanent Extra Health and Power Points you don't want to miss. Here's a handy guide of which quests give out which rewards: LINK You can level your hero all the way to the cap doing only the story mode, but it is not really recommended. Instead...

- Once you reach level 20 you'll open up Legendary Quests.

These are optional quests that can intertwine with your story or send you somewhere else in the world. LQs can be rerolled for your convenience at a small price.
It is RECOMMENDED you start doing LQs as soon as you hit 20, because they give out a lot of XP and a currency known as Odin Marks, which you'll use to buy powerful end-game items later on (you can check these items at the Legendary Items Vendor located in the Asgard hub).

- Alongside Story Mode there are other types of content you can spend your time with. Just head to the nearest Waypoint to access them under Terminals or Challenges. Some of these you can do from level 1.
All of these modes also count towards your Daily Shared Quests, which give out additional rewards every day.

- A ton of items will be dropping for you and with the limited STASH space you might be wondering early which items are worth your time. Here's a quick list of what you should be looking at:

• 
  
  
  Gear. Well, duh. Best items tend to be Cosmic grade and Uniques. The latest Cybernetics upgrade to Pets makes it so traditionally "trash" gear you'd usually leave behind becomes useful. Keep an eye out for rings. (pick priority: high)
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Eternity Splinters, Cube Shards and Odin Marks are important currencies and are hard to miss. These will be exchanged for items or in the case of ES, even new heroes. (pick priority: very high)
  
  
  
  
  
  Heroes and Team Ups can be bought with Eternity Splinters. My recommendation is: If you don't care who you get and are all about expanding your roster quickly, go to Adam Warlock NPC and get Random Hero Boxes. They are cheaper than any single hero but can contain even the more expensive ones.
  WARNING: You may get a repeat, which will be used towards increasing that hero's Ultimate Ability.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• 
  Runes are used at the Enchanter NPC to improve your gear. Some are quite rare and valuable. Check the recipes and Trade Chat to see which ones are in more demand. (pick priority: high)
• 
  Uru -Forged gear. You should only pick it up as you need it. No need to save more than one of each in the STASH for future use. (pick priority: low) Check the LINKS section in the OT for more details on Runes and Uru-Forged Items
• 
  Artifacts. Here's a handy guide for valuable ones courtesy of user Blank! LINK. The rest you should only pick up if you have an immediate use for them. Good rolls are essential. (pick priority: normal)
• 
  Relics: There's about a dozen of them. They bind to the hero that equips them. You'd at least want a small stack (50 or so) on every hero. They work like an extra item which provides + benefits with each new stack but have diminishing returns. (pick priority: normal)
• 
  Medallions: Familiarize yourself with them but there's no need to pick spares. Cosmic Medallions will round up your end-game build and by then you'll know which you need and where to get it. (pick priority: low)
• 
  Crafting Elements (Nanotech Filament, Ionic Particles, etc.) should only be picked up when you need them immediately. They are used on crafting recipes and are extremely easy to come by. (pick priority: very low)
• 
  Costume Cores: Once you defined what you want from your end-game build is when you should start looking for specific ones. Those with 400 Life on Hit, 25% recovery on Medkit use or Invulnerability stats are particularly popular. (pick priority: normal)

​

- The first thing to do with unwanted gear and items isn't selling them for credits. Instead, DONATE THEM (drag and drop it in the donate box, or alt-click the item from your inventory) to your Crafter and Enchanter first to unlock new high level recipes.
After they both hit level 20, you can focus on leveling up your gear NPC Vendors, although they offer minimal improvements.

Some recipes are extremely useful, and there is even one where you can turn unwanted costumes into new ones*.

- Hit level 60 already and don't know what to do? BUILD, TRADE, RAID, PRESTIGE!

Focus on building your hero for the more challenging Endgame Content, such as Cosmic Terminals and Raids. Trade for items and Artifacts with other players using the Trade Chat and Join other players every week to tackle Raids!
Beyond this point you'll want to consider the Prestige option. This will reset your heroes' level progress. You'll get some cosmetic rewards and an extra base costume which you can use in a high level crafting recipe* to exchange for a new random costume. (*Recipe is 3 costumes + 2 Unstable Molecules + 200,000 credits)

Remember, there's always people willing to help out and answer your questions in this thread too. Have fun!

 

[Red Arremer]

I love the smell of new threads in the morning.

Edit: Someone said the thread title is good, but I don't see it.

Spoiler

( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

 

[J-Tier]

GIF makes me realize how big the costume volume is.

 

[Volimar]

Great OP inky! Some day I'll have the courage to raid with you guys!

 

[xrayregime]

Great OP inky! Some day I'll have the courage to raid with you guys!

Dooo it. I'll also add you Voli. My SG runs raids every Thursday/Sunday/Tuesday around 7 EST.


And great OP. That quest log is daunting to me. I don't think any of my characters have so many trophies/check marks.

 

[Red Arremer]

That quest log is daunting to me. I don't think any of my characters have so many trophies/check marks.

Haha, I made sure to complete all the quests on at least one character.

 

[Drayco21]

Dat new thread smell- New OP(s) are awesome, Inky.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Looks great Ink!

Although, I'd mention the 25% Medkit core too. That one is especially important for sustain on a lot of heroes.

 

[Indignate]

I have like 20 heroes.

 

[Rhaknar]

Dat costume gif

Looking at Rogue's trees more now, she actually has a lot of stuff I want, I might not have much room for stolen spells except for 1point wonders tbh. I'm looking at her sig, melee boss killer, Kree passive and maybe her death from above if it looks good, as I will always use every DFA move, I can't help it, so yeah that's potentially 3 or 4 just normal ass Rogue talents I might use. In fact, I don't think I'll even use any mental stuff, most of the aoe I want is energy and the power cosmic buff is always just 1500 correct, it doesn't stack? So between my physical and energy stuff I will always have both up 100% of the time anyway.

 

[inky]

Those of you guys who raid often... please let me know what info you'd like to see in the Raiding section =)

Looks great Ink!

Although, I'd mention the 25% Medkit core too. That one is especially important for sustain on a lot of heroes.

Sure thing.

Also, thanks for the kind words guys. I never thought we'd get an OT2 for this game yet here we are.

 

[gazele]

Why am I not surprised Kepow had the most posts in the OT?



Still trying to figure out rogue, too many options, wish you could just have like 10 passives and break the balancing haha

 

[Rhaknar]

Also the thread title was clearly the best choice long term

 

[GManDH]

I AM ON A LIST!!! i posted a lot in the early stages of game now i just make comments or say unmentioned topics.

 

[KePoW]

Excellent OT2 inky bud

LUKEpow CAGE rules!

 

[-Deadpool-]

Geez, had no idea I posted that much. Guess I asked a loooot of questions in the early days haha..

Haven't been putting much time into MH lately, need to get back into it.

 

[GManDH]

for all you noobs out there dont let the constant amount of ppl saying they havent put much time into the game lately scare you. this game is amazing, it just isnt EVERYONEs cup of tea. i play everyday and dont regret ONE min.

 

[Frostinferno]

Marvelous OT Inky!

First

Spoiler

and last

Wall of Shame I'm on. And goddamn @ that costume gif.

 

[Rhaknar]

not playing it much at any given time has nothing to do with the game being or not being good, or even the person liking it. you just need a break sometimes, especially when you play so much

also I post too much. Working graveyard shifts will do that

 

[-Deadpool-]

Mine definitely isn't as a result of MH not being amazing, just that ~800 hours has burned me out a little haha..

The 800 hours speaks for itself though, considering I got into the game earlier this year.

EDIT: LOL, as above.

 

[Wibblewozzer]

Seems I'm more wordy in game than posting in the thread. I only had 20 posts. Of course I started fairly recently so that's also part of it.

And Cyclops is terrible. Just wanted that to be known here before his review comes out. I thought Hawkeye was bad but he looks complex compared to this ruby-eyed oaf. Thankfully I already got him up to 31 after starting him today. Hitting level 50 doesn't seem too far away.

 

[DXLelouch153]

i mainly only play during events or leveling a new character

 

[-Deadpool-]

Opinions and all that, but I enjoyed Cyk a lot more than I did Hawkeye! Probably the visual effects on Cyk keeping me a little more interested I think.

 

[Rhaknar]

Hawkeye is

Spoiler

still

terrible. I was farming cosmics with various characters earlier today, basically rotating between a bunch to always have a ult up and I got a couple of blessings on Rocket, who doesnt need gear, and I thought "why the fuck am I not doing this on characters that CAN use the lootsplosion"

and when I got to Hawkeye...good lord.

I also got a few more levels into Deadpool, from 35 to 41, and im really not feeling him AT ALL now, which is weird because I remember really liking him up to 35 when I stopped.

 

[Frostinferno]

Everytime I play Hawkeye, I have to immediately switch over to Diablo 3 and play my Demon Hunter to cleanse out the awfulness with a properly designed archer.

Homeboy needs a mechanic and visual overhaul.

 

[-Deadpool-]

He was my main for aaaages (you may remember from OT1) as he's my favourite Marvel character, but even I can acknowledge he's not being done justice in later levels.

I was basically on rotation of 3 powers (didn't even have the hotbar full) with my final high-spec build and he's still inefficient and lacking flare.

When I think about what High Moon did with the Deadpool game, I weep for what we have in Marvel Heroes.

Hopefully they give him some fun and flare for the review.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I need splinters. Where did they go? So close to unlocking Rogue.

i have high hopes for his review, same as Cyclops. Hell I even bought a Headpool just for his cybertek when it was on sale recently

I already had Headpool haha, bought him specifically for Deadpool when I was building him up.

Same for Thor with Throg lol..

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Oh got my first ilevel 66 recipe and I'm surprised they don't charge a arm and leg to upgrade things wit it. 10k is simple and no mats needed. Now to get more demonfire.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Cool. OT2.
Im hopefully getting a decent new computer tomorrow, so Im hoping this will run well.

 

[Lord Phol]

Awesome OT2, great job inky! Think this is the first time I'm even on a wall of shame. Looking forward to some Nova action soonTM!

 

[Rhaknar]

its also account wide, it works for every hero. which is why mr.blank, I need that earlier raid please >_>

 

[Xevren]

Jesus at the number of kepow posts.

But hey new thread!

Xev did you see that Iron Fist was confirmed for the 2015 advance pack?

 

[Xevren]

Xev did you see that Iron Fist was confirmed for the 2015 advance pack?

I did! I promise I'll be there the second he's released.

 

[Tragicomedy]

New thread, same racist Kepow.

Thanks for the raids tonight, super friends. At least two members went through everything for their first time and rocked it. We did it, team!

Jean Grey is a freaking JOY to play as in a raid. So. Much. Fun. Dark Phoenix = face tanking bosses.

Also, Iron Fist is a day one splinter pick up for me. My most anticipated hero along with Fantomex. Make it happen, Gaz.

 

[DrAg0nBoY]

Is it just for me or is the game not working at the moment?

 

[Frostinferno]

Anymore raids happening this week?

 

[Volimar]

I was really tempted to try raiding, but I was tired and I'm not feeling well. Not a good combination for someone with anxiety disorders on their first time raiding.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Is Odin Bounty event still running? I looked at the schedule and it doesn't specify an end does it? But it also doesn't go past today? So does the midtown buff just stay on? (Please gaz)

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Just ended and I went to sleep expecting to wake up to terminals but it's done.

I hope the next event is good. Now give me some splinters!

 

[shinra-bansho]

Boo. I had classes most of the day. And I have no interest in hotdog crap. I guess the conches can be used for crimson boxes.

 

[GManDH]

Did you guys hear bout event this week? its a conch shell and hotdog event combined!!!!! doesnt sound amazing, but sounds good.

 

[xrayregime]

Did you guys hear bout event this week? its a conch shell and hotdog event combined!!!!! doesnt sound amazing, but sounds good.

I'm just glad I saved all that junk in my inventory from last time.

 

[GruntOfAction]

I'm torn between Rocket Raccoon and Iron Man as my two favorites. Both have excellent exploding capabilities.. :c

 

[shinra-bansho]

Ugh. Random hero boxes hate me. I got Rogue. :|
That would have been great. Had I not tried to get her from random hero boxes 4 times (all dupes except one, Hulk meh) before dropping 600 splinters on her.

 

[xrayregime]

The Bronx Zoo one-shot comes out today. Should be pretty great, based on the streaming footage.

They also hinted at the one-shot later this year (around Magneto's release) which will tie into the AXIS story line in the comics.

Red difficulty raid will be back on the Test Center Friday, so maybe we'll see that the following patch.

 

[Anoregon]

I'm on the wall of shame! Hooray!
