DCUO Skill Point Goals

-
Image
Skill points (SP) in DC Universe Online unlock weapon combos, movement abilities, and critical stat bonuses. You earn 1 skill point for every 100 feat points collected through in-game achievements, styles, and collections. One skill point is awarded for every 100 feat points earned. You can earn feats by completing missions and tasks, collecting items and sets, fighting in a certain way and repeating things that have a counter. Each feat gives a different amount of points: 1 Star = 10 Feat Points 2 Star = 25 Feat Points 3 Star = 50 Feat Points 4 Star = 100 Feat Points DC Universe Online is now 15+ years old and as the game's content grows, so do the skill points available to earn. How many you need will always have varying opinions and there is no hard requirement that locks you of of any part of the game. But there are some numbers that can be used as good guidelines to strive for. This article will center mostly on a new account starting from level 1... NOT an existing account ...

Budget Gaming PC Gem

-
Image
The Lenovo ThinkStation P320 is typically a corporate small form factor desktop PC from ~2017. This particular model that I got off of the Amazon used market has the following specs: Intel Core i7-7700T (7th Generation), 4 cores 2.9 Ghz clock speed 16 GB RAM 512 GB SSD NVidia Quadro P600, 2 GB VRAM Windows 11 Pro OEM (~$100 of the value) It is currently listed at $300. I got it during a short weekend dip for $258.  DCUO or Equivalent Game The spec that stands out to gamers here is that it has a dedicated NVidia graphics card. Systems like this typically do not! With DCUO being a 2011 game, the specs for this system, despite being 9 years old are overkill. It can run DCUO at full screen and all of the max settings. At 16 GB, the RAM is a little low and that is probably the factory default. It can be configured for 32 GM and 64 GM if needed. DCUO is currently about 53 GB and growing with each episode, so a 512 GB SSD is much more than needed.  Small Form Factor With a 7x7" footp...

DCUO: NEW Feats for Ally Grinding

-
Image
On August 11, 2026, DC Universe Online added a new and pretty large category of feats for leveling legendary allies . This is obviously retroactive so that players don't lose any hard work they put in over the years of the ally feature. With 19 allies and 2.6 SP per level 10, players could potentially login with an additional 49 unspent SP! There's a lot to swallow here, so I'll break down the immediate and ongoing plans. Day 1 When you first log in, if you maxxed out 5 allies or partially worked on more than that, you will have over 11 SP unspent, thus invalidating your armories. This just means you won't be able to switch using the 4 shortcuts. The best way to update your armories is to interact with each one physically.  Stand next to the armory and choose "activate all." This will let you use the armory despite the unspent SP. Assign you new SP. Imprint all... then repeat for all armories In this particular period... August 2026, also consider that we'...

DCUO: Reign Style

-
Image
  Supergirl, Alyssa and Wonder Woman in Zol-El's Lab Aftershock was released for Shadow of Argo on July 28, 2026. The big reveal was the first in-game appearance of the Supergirl villain, Reign. So naturally, I have to breakdown the styles and go over the possibility of what can become player elements. Reign As with most new characters, Reign is very well detailed. She has good contrast and realistic texture maps on her armor. She animates well without any parts clipping or breaking. This is generally a good sign that the style can be applied to player characters. Head Area Looking at the head, face and hair styles... The tiara rests a little high up on the forehead, which would likely cause it to clip most hairstyles in the game unless part of the forehead is included with the tiara as a mask. The tiara could also be part of the hair (as seen on Carol Ferris and Fatality styles), but that would disqualify it from being colored by materials. The tattoo on her right eye could be don...

DCUO: Atlantean Warsuit Showcase

-
Image
The Atlantean Warsuit from the first DCUO Summer Event is really the chroma before chromas as it features an animated special effect in one of the color slots. While it is a water style, I have always used it on my ice character, Kryo Jennyx (Jenny Xue) because the deep, saturated blue with the other slots set to white looks icy. It's also a similar palette to the comicbook character, Ice (Tora Olafsdotter). Here is the chest and legs of the classic set matches with some newer parts colored with the Surging Material (water): Kryo Jennyx and Armories Battle Stance Dual Katanas Kryo Cavern Security Displays Kryo Cavern

DCUO: Seasonal Open World Buffs

-
Image
Crossbow (rifle style) Powered by Demon Fang I have a lot of alts and when it comes time for a seasonal event, I need to get through the quests as fast as possible. While most of the seasonal tasks are fairly optimized today, the time still stacks up for altaholics. The outside can be sped up considerably if you know how some powers work as they award different stats as well as how attacks hit. For all seasonal open world quests except Homecoming and Anniversary (because they're newer and use more of an episode template), NPCs have 5 health,but all of your attacks are reduced to 1 damage. So it takes 5 strikes or something that gives bonus on top of the 1 damage. Here are some tips from moderate to best... Rapid Fire The most basic, common sense is to choose weapons and powers that hit very fast. For weapons, dual pistol or handblasters are great. If this is not your character's weapon set, it doesn't matter. You don't need a good one because all damage is reduced to 1 ...

DCUO: Copying Settings

-
Image
Alyssa's Batmobile It seems like a little thing, but it is a bit of a hassle to have to sync all of your DCUO settings to a new computer. But you can easily copy them over by following these steps: 1) First, go to the following location with your old system or the one that already has DCUO installed:  C:\Users\$USERNAME\Documents\DCUO Save Data\ 2) Display details and copy the directory with the most recent date (it will be a long string of capital letters and numbers) to a flash drive. This contains overall settings, character settings and you chat window layout/channels. It will have all of your accounts setup for the launcher. You won't need to cancel through all of the tooltips for new users. Chat will have whatever size, channels and other settings you had before. All of your ignore settings will be intact. 3) Then open this folder and select all contents. Atrocitus and Dex-starr 4) Make sure DCUO is NOT running on the new computer. Copy all of that into the most recent da...
