DCUO: New Episode Prep

Episode 54: Wrath of the Worldkillers

Here are a few things you can do just before a new episode launches to a get a jump on things when the servers come back up:

Exobytes for Origin Augments

Moves these stacks over to your main characters or shared bank so that you can max out before you enter the new episode missions. You should have had plenty of salvage from from the life of the previous episode to max out several if not all of your alts. I personally like to keep my elite affinity. Except for a few parts, I don't even swap my armor until I have enough to buy the next full elite set. So I'm salvaging nearly all drops from the start of a new episode.

Pristine Exobyte Stacks

Perfected Exobytes

You should get 4 of these with a Legendary Membership through the life of an episode. It's better to save them than to use them as you get them. This type of exobyte is unique because you can allocate them to either the Origin Augments OR the Episode specific ones. The reason for saving them until the start of a new episode is because you can boost your new episode augments right away. If you use them as you get them, it's not an urgent time period yet... you already have them at a good pace. You're saving about 1-2 day's worth of XP on launch week if you hold them.

Unspent Skillpoints

When an episode starts winding down, try to pace it so you leave 10 skillpoints unspent. When the new episode launches, the max for all stats will increase by 10, you can potentially max you primary stat on the first day. Remember that 11 makes your armories invalid, so 10 is the magic number to put aside.

2-Row Ability Tray Recommendations

Happy 15th Anniversary! The 16th year starts off with a pretty big bang with the addition of a 2nd row of loadouts. The sudden addition increases our characters' power levels considerably once ironed out and used right, but can be quite overwhelming at first. Hopefully this article give you some direction in how to set up your loadouts. I will keep it as general as possible so that it can apply to all power sets. From Patch Notes: New Additional Ability Tray The Additional Ability Tray is a major quality-of-life and combat flexibility upgrade that significantly expands how players build and use their loadouts. This new system introduces a second, fully functional ability tray, giving players more room to adapt, specialize, and react during combat. With the Additional Ability Tray, players gain access to a second full set of abilities that can be configured independently from their primary tray. While only one tray is active at a time, players can instantly swap between trays with ...
