RE: IOs- starting my way up 

it depends on what you want out of the IOs. do you want the most, the biggest, and the best in the bonuses, OR do you want to use sets/norm IO to optimize each individual power on its own?

RE: IOs- starting my way up 

well here is what i am doing. i got a hero to 50, so he had around 80 mill in cash, i made a new hero and i am playing him to 50. then ill use the combined cash to io out my second character when i have a lot stocked up. but since it seems you have a good farming build you can do it how it works for you.

1. io out as you get the money
or
2. save some up, io a little, then save some more.

and sorry i don't know a whole lot about the types, but purples seem to be the best, and cost the most except for some supper rare recipes. my luck of the gambler +7/5% sold for 70 mill, and i haven't seen a purple that expensive

RE: IOs- starting my way up 

I would say the best thing to do is go to paragonwiki and the invention set page to see what bonuses you can get from each set for a certain type of power. Basically go look at all the Hold sets and see what each set offers as a bonus and decide which ones you want. Then go to the PBAoE/Immob sets and check out their bonuses.

I'd work on slotting one power at a time with whatever set/combo of sets that you want. Since you're low on cash for doing a 100% IOing of your toon, you'd be best to do it one power at a time.

My main has only one complete set. Most of the sets only offer select bonuses that I want and I don't really care about some (like 1.88% ranged defense increase). I have only been slotting like 2-4 from each set.

Here's a quick link to:

Invention Sets by Category

Should be pretty simple to find what sets you'd use.
