What to do in DCUO? *Updated for Ep34: Justice League Dark*
/There's a lot to do in DCUO now with the addition to Episode content being Event Versions. It can seem a bit overwhelming where to start so hopefully this Guide will serve as a first step for players. It doesnt matter in what order you wish to run all of these but this is the list I follow when I login.
Seasonal/Special Events
Seasonal Events
Examples: Love is in the Air (Valentine's Day), Tides of War (Summer), etc
Seasonals events don't reward Gear to help raise your Combat Rating but they do have Feats to help you get more Skill Points. Plus, they do have some cool base items and gear styles. These usually don't take long to run. Seasonals have 1 mission and a 4 player alert. These are optional to run if you don't care about Feats or Styles but they are a good time waster.
Special Events
Examples: Anti-Monitor (Anniversary)
Special Events give gear that helps towards your Combat Rating and consist of more story. They also have Feats to help with your Skill Points. They are their own limited time content returning every year. They have their own Mission HuB offering Daily and Weekly missions. They also have Event content in the On Duty Menu.
Death of Superman
DCUO released Death of Superman in celebration of Superman's 80th Anniversary. It is released as Permanent Content and gives Feats and Source Marks. It gives Tributes as it's main currency to buy Styles, Base Items and the Superman Emblem (which does expire after Dec 31st, 2018). This content can be an easy way to get Source Marks in order to purchase Tier Gear items and more.
The End Game version of the Doomsday Raid in the Tier 9 section is out of Relevancy at CR 262 meaning you wont be getting Source Marks but you will still get Tributes and the other rewards.
Episode Content
Now it's time for the newest content to be ran. The newest Episodes when released will have Event Versions for those players who are below the minimum Combat Rating. You'll also have access to running the Open World content too. For those who meet the Minimum or above Combat Rating you'll have the end game versions. You'll also want to check your Combat Rating and look at the CR Relevancy.
Episode 34: Justice League Dark
This is the newest Episode and the Entry Combat Rating is CR 253 and will be out of Relevancy at CR 285 . You'll get the newest Currency, Daemonhadrons, as rewards to buy Vendor Gear, Base Items and more. There are Event versions for those below the Min Combat Rating and access to all players in the Open World area.
Episode 33: Atlantis
The Entry Combat Rating is CR 241 and will be out of Relevancy at CR 262. You'll get the Currency, Rath Crowns, as rewards to buy Vendor Gear, Base Items and more. To play this you'll need to be either a Member or have purchased the Episode. Run it to get your Feats, Styles and anything you missed out on.
Episode 32: Teen Titans - The Judas Contract
Teen Titans’ Entry Combat Rating is CR 230 and will be out of Relevancy at CR 262. Once out of Relevancy, you wont be getting Marks of Victory but you will still get the Episode’s Currency (Titans Creds) and any other rewards that you would normally get from the Content. To play this you'll need to be either a Member or have purchased the Episode. Run it to get your Feats, Styles and anything you missed out on.
For those that are not in End Game yet, now is the time to go back into your specific Tier Content and run the Solos, Duos and all of it. Use the Gear you get from the Episode Event Content to help you increase your Combat Rating. Use your At Tier gear first and then use the Episode Unattuned Gear to replace the gear with the lowest Item Level.
Thats it for this guide. It'll be updated with each passing Episode and always look out for more helpful guides here on the Sourcewall.
