Prestige & Base Items

Welcome, aspiring heroes and villains, to the ultimate guide on maximizing your Prestige and transforming your Base into a true headquarters! Prestige isn't just a number; it's your key to unlocking exclusive Base Items, powerful amenities, and the envy of your peers. This section will walk you through the most efficient ways to earn Prestige and strategically furnish your Base.

Earning Prestige: The Foundation of Your Domain

Prestige is primarily earned through activities that contribute to your League's overall success and by actively engaging with your Base. The more you participate, the faster your Prestige grows.

League Hall Missions: These are your bread and butter for Prestige generation. Participate in daily and weekly League Hall missions, accessible from your League Hall terminal. Completing these missions grants significant Prestige rewards, often scaled by difficulty and the number of League members participating.
Base PvP: Engage in Base PvP matches. Defending your League's Base and successfully raiding enemy Bases will net you a healthy amount of Prestige. Coordinate with your League to maximize your victories!
Donating to the League Bank: While not a direct Prestige gain for you, contributing Exobits, Marks of Victory, or other valuable resources to your League's bank helps your League upgrade its amenities, which in turn can provide passive Prestige bonuses to all members.
Base Item Placement: Simply placing Base Items in your Base contributes to your Prestige score. The rarer and more complex the item, the more Prestige it typically awards. Don't just hoard them; display them!
Daily Base Interactions: Some Base amenities, once purchased and placed, offer daily interactions that grant a small amount of Prestige. Keep an eye out for these opportunities within your own Base.

Acquiring Base Items: Furnishing Your Fortress

Base Items are the building blocks of your personal sanctuary. They range from purely aesthetic decorations to functional amenities that provide buffs or services. Here's how to get your hands on them:

Vendor Purchases

The most straightforward way to acquire Base Items is through dedicated vendors. These vendors are typically found in your faction's main hub (Watchtower for Heroes, Hall of Doom for Villains) or within your League Hall.

Prestige Vendors: These vendors, often labeled "Prestige Base Item Vendor," are your primary source for many desirable Base Items. They accept Prestige as currency. Prioritize items that offer utility or significant aesthetic appeal first. Look for items like the "Research Terminal" for crafting access or the "Broker Terminal" for marketplace access directly from your Base.
Mark Vendors: Some Base Items can be purchased with Marks of Victory or other specialized Marks earned from end-game content. Check the various Mark vendors in the Watchtower/Hall of Doom for their rotating stock.
Seasonal Event Vendors: During seasonal events (e.g., Spring, Summer, Halloween, Winter), special vendors appear offering unique, limited-time Base Items. These are often highly sought after for their rarity and thematic flair.

Drops & Rewards

Keep an eye out for Base Items as rewards from various in-game activities:

Open World Bounties & Missions: Certain open-world bosses or specific mission chains can drop rare Base Items. Check the loot tables for zones like Metropolis or Gotham City.
Alerts & Raids: Completing Alerts and Raids, especially those tied to specific episodes, can sometimes reward you with themed Base Items. The "Brainiac Tech Console" or "Kryptonian Crystal Formation" are examples of items that might drop from relevant content.
Promethium Lockboxes: These lockboxes, opened with Promethium Keys, have a chance to contain rare Base Items, including some that are otherwise difficult to obtain.
Feats: Completing certain Feats can unlock unique Base Items as rewards. Check your Feats menu for those with Base Item icons.

Broker & Trading

The in-game Broker is a vital resource for acquiring Base Items you might have missed or can't otherwise obtain. Players often sell items they've acquired through drops or events. Similarly, direct trading with other You can be a good way to find specific items.

Strategic Base Item Placement: Beyond Decoration

Your Base isn't just a trophy room; it's a functional hub. Strategic placement of certain Base Items can significantly enhance your gameplay experience.

Utility Items First: Prioritize placing functional items that save you travel time or provide essential services.
- Broker Terminal: Allows you to buy and sell items from your Base. Essential for market-savvy players.
- Mailbox: Access your in-game mail without returning to a hub.
- Bank Terminal: Manage your inventory and access your shared bank.
- Research Terminal: Craft and research items directly from your Base.
- Repair Bot: Repair your gear without needing to visit a vendor.
- Respec Station: Change your powers, movement mode, or weapon specialization on the fly (requires a Respec Token).
Teleporters: Invest in various teleporters to quickly access different zones or even other League members' Bases (with permission). The "Watchtower Teleporter" or "Hall of Doom Teleporter" are invaluable.
Aesthetic & Thematic Grouping: Once your utility needs are met, focus on creating a visually appealing and thematic Base. Group similar items together, use lighting effectively, and consider a specific theme (e.g., Batcave, Fortress of Solitude, Joker's Funhouse).
Prestige Boosters: Some rare Base Items offer passive Prestige bonuses. While often expensive, these can accelerate your Prestige gain over time. Look for items specifically stating "Grants Bonus Prestige."

Remember, your Base is an extension of your character. Invest in it, customize it, and make it a place you're proud to call home in the DC Universe!
