**Spurious** I am on most nights after 11 PM Eastern as Justice Blues. I can admit your characters to C.E.C.I.L. I think one or two of Toasters can also add you to the group. Try sending a tell to us. You can do a TF more than once with the same character. Justice Blues has taken on the Psyche TF twice, and moriah’s Zombie Man has done it 3 times. And I have a level 11 defender, Air Goddess, I would like to start leveling more. If you are doing a TF late, let me know. ---

My characters Thermocline and Super-Collider are also Captains and can invite. **Spurious** , we’d be glad to have you. And on gamma, woops. 🙂 Memory did not serve. On the TF: Level limit is 10-16, I understand. I am told that the levels of the bad guys now scale to your team, but originally they would all be 15s, so you wanted to have the team at the top. If you guys are playing the Pos TF tonight, give me a /tell and I’ll bring Super-Collider in his level 14 rad/rad defender goodness. Maybe we can get \*\*Dangerosa \*\*to bring Eliza Bennett (15 emp/energy defender) as well. I don’t think we’ll be able to stay for the whole TF, but we can come along and help out for an hour or two. ---

I’d have an hour and a half to kill this evening on it, and time Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. ---

Hm. Eternal Ninja and Majestyc at the core, then… anyone else want to chip in? We may need some higher-level folks. ---

I’ve been a few provinces away from my gaming computer for the last few months, so I’m a little out of the loop. How do you all like the new content patch? Is the extra content any good? ---

> [@CandidGamera](#): > > 9:30 it is, then. Good. I was going to try to get home early, but work is going to hold me up until 9:30 or 10 (Eastern). I’ll see you guys as soon as possible, and I’ll have at least a couple hours to play if we want to get started, or just see how the teamwork goes. I’ll bring Her Voice Burns (14 Blaster) to start, since we seem to have no shortage of Defenders. ---

And I am at work until 11, so no TF for Air Goddess. ☹ OTOH, I have been kicked offline completely 2 times in the last 4 days, for several hours at a time, so I might not have been able to stick around anyway. **Anonymous Coward** I don’t think any of us are really high enough to try the new content. 😛 It is mostly lev 40-50, the lower levels were mostly bug fixes and adding in some new mobs and of course, the tailor. I like the tailor. 😃 Lok ---

Can one of you more-experienced heroic Dopers answer a question for me ? Last night, ScaldFire, my fire/fire blaster, recieved a focus amulet (a dual-origin recharge Enhancement) with a 14 rating. When I went to sell it, I was offered 2.5K prestige for it - a LOT more than the other level 15 Enhancements I had. So I put it in to one of his powers, but it doesn’t really seem to be any better than the training Enhavement I had that was 15++. So the question is: is the numeric value of an Enhancement the best guage of its effectiveness, or is the sale price a better guage ? Thanks. ---

In general, a Dual-Origin Enhancement is twice as good as a Training Enhancement and a Single-Origin Enhancement is twice as good as a Dual-Origin Enhancement. For you Task Force people, I’ll be on tonight sometime around 9 EDT, probably running Deus X. I’ll send a shout out on the CECIL channel when I get on. ---

Allright, we’ll try to wait for you, Spurious - unless someone has to bail early. For my part, I’m going to try to clear up a little debt on Justice, then I’ll head onto Virtue as EN to kill some time until everyone can show. Anyone not in the Supergroup that wants in on the TF can /friend me as Eternal Ninja. And for those who can’t make it : don’t worry, I’ll be happy to do it again later, and my other character (3 more on Virtue) will each need to do it at least once. ---

Wasn’t aware of this thread until just now. We have several SDMB-reading members, who do not have accounts, who post at the CECIL board, and typically seem to be the ones who are online most of every day. Once again, here is the link to our roster: [http://www.gamingninjas.com/cecil/Members.html](http://www.gamingninjas.com/cecil/Members.html) Our CECIL board, where those who haven’t accounts here can and do post, and for several of us who can’t reach this board at work: [http://sdmb.culex.us/phpBB/](http://sdmb.culex.us/phpBB/) Our picture gallery, where you make an account and upload as many pictures as you like, you can comment and rate them too: [http://sdmb.culex.us/pics/](http://sdmb.culex.us/pics/) You can contact me for a recruit in by contacting anybody owned by Toaster (you know, me), Lok, moriah, Max Carnage, or Humanist on the roster, as we’re generally on and will swap to a recruiting character. ---

I can also recruit with either Thermocline or Super-Collider. I’m on most evenings from 9pm Central or so for a couple of hours. ---

> [@tanstaafl](#): > > In general, a Dual-Origin Enhancement is twice as good as a Training Enhancement and a Single-Origin Enhancement is twice as good as a Dual-Origin Enhancement. As an addendum, even the worst Dual Origin (max levels below you) is better than the best Training (max levels above you), and the worst Single Origin is better than the best Dual Origin. So if you’re wondering whether you should replace your +2 Training damage enhancement with a -2 DO damage enhancement, the answer is yes, yes, definitely yes. **bauble** , the jump in sale price may be attributable to the store at which you sold. Each store specializes in certain origins, and if you sell an enhancement with that origin to that store, you get a higher price. For example, a SO may sell for 10k to any store, but 18k to a store with that origin.
