[QUOTE="BrooklynKnight, post: 2847546, member: 4490"] Loot There are "3" types of "loot" in the game. Infamy/Influence Prestige Salvage Infamy/Influence is basically your "reputation" among the citizens of the city. You use Inf to buy Enhancements and Inspirations from various contacts and stores. Its the base "money" of the game. Prestige is a similar concept except its your Super Groups reputation. Prestige is earned by fighting and completing missions in XP Mode. At 24th level you start earning less infamy for the prestige you learn, and after a certain level (34th i think) you earn one or the other, not both. Prestige is used to upgrade the supergroup base and unless your run your supergroup you almost never have control over how its spent. Its also used to rank the "largest" SG's because the more your SG earns, the "bigger" it is. Salvage is also used by the super group. Using Workshops you combine salvage into a variety of devices like transporters and power turbines. In Issue 7 Salvage will also be used to create temporary powers and buffs so you can use salvage individually. There is one final "lootish" thing thats currently only in the hero high level game. Hamidon Enhancments are these Uber Enhancments that can only be attained by defeating the Hamidon, a super mega creature. It takes anywhere from 20-100 heroes to fight him at the same time to have any chance of defeating him (dont worry everyone gets a hami). These Enhancements are uber because they enhance more then one thing (allowing you to buff your character using less slots). Hope that answers it all. [/QUOTE]
