Contact Guide
A full list of all your contacts |

In a number of places in the badge guide, I tell you to go after mission badges, which involve getting (and completing) a specific mission. That's actually easier said than done. It's hard to know which contacts to mine for a particular mission. So, the second guide was born, which gives you a list of the contacts as well as the important missions they have available for you to complete. Note that I'm only going to list missions that involve earning a badge at the end, or story arcs. Every contact will give you an array of missions, but not all of them are important. The game is designed such that it is entirely possible to complete every single story arc and badge mission in the game, as long as you don't outlevel your contacts before starting the arcs. In order to accomplish this, you may have to slow down your experience gain rate (through deliberate or non-deliberate accumulation of debt) such that you can get to them all before hitting the level limit (shouldn't be a problem for you scrappers!). Despite popular belief, this is possible to do with a bit of care (even when also doing the task forces, trials, and all the other sundry and assorted missions), my own characters have done this without much problem. If you can keep the XP gain rate down through level 25 or so, it beomes less of a problem to finish them all (beyond that,you tend to have much more XP room available than you really need to finish every mission) . Make sure to mine your contacts for their story arc/badge missions, and then ignore them for the rest of their miscellaneous missions once you finish with them. Once you do all the badge missions and story arcs, if you find you still have level room, you can go back and finish up those random missions if you like. The contacts have been broken down by Tier Level (TL). You will keep each set of Tier Level contacts for a particular range of your characters level, after which you will be too high to use them anymore, and they will send you to a contact in the next tier level up. The levels at which you get tiers (and the number of contacts you will get at each tier) are as follows:
Hopefully this guide will help so that you can get as many story arcs and badge missions on your own as possible. Good luck! |
