Both are actually good sources.

For the record, I'm about 20% into my 1 bil inf badge, but I've easily made over 1 bil off the AH so far.

Oh, and there's a much faster way to make inf in the RWZ than farming a mission, running the LGTF, or doing a ship raid. ;)

Portals. Farm portals. That's my guess.

Not sure how merits can be any more useful than they already are. They are on a per character basis, so there's nothing else that I know that can be done with them besides buy your Vanguard gear/powers. That's not "pointless" to me anyway, though.

Portals are nice, but not the key. The key is a pet. A pet that you can buff. And that has no timer to despawn. And that happens to totally destroy Level 50-52 Rikti. ;)

The HVAS? or the Mech? I don't know which of those fit the criteria -- or if either do for that matter. Pets are my "I need more damage for this joker" button mostly, but I understand how they could be useful for hanging around in the Zone.

The HVAS would obviously tie the two things you said together. So Riddler, am I right?

well well. got a lot of intersting hints there so i feel free to give my 2 influs..

make a lot of arachnos scanner missions... alone, invincible.
end mission bonus 50 on 53 mission si about 50K.
and arachnos drops all kind of interesting schems...

this is for Blast part.
regarding Ice Tank part, CoT is far more interesting, as there's a lot of ice thorn and/or demons.
works great.

missions freeing someone or getting an object are done faster than the others... to my PoV.

works better than being RSK on low level missions...
tried on lvl 14... boring, not fast, death at the corner...

works faster on invincible scanner mission.

I did run Invincible Scanner Missions for a while, then the RWZ came about and they just worked better for me.  I am now working one Mission which generates at least 400K Inf in about 20 minutes or so, pending on how fast I defeat everything.

Doing some Damage to everything, then lure them close to the NPCs and let them finish them off, it still yields the same payout with less work to do.

Voltaic Shock

As of late, I've yet to do this, because if I did, then I'd lose Inf to fund for my Alts lol.  But ya I started with about 26 Mil, then went up and down till I went down to 3 Mil, I was only about 40% complete in my IO Sets and such for my entire Build.  Now I'm trying to get back up to afford my new Build desire (from Iltat).  Luckily I'll get something back from my /Respec for what I currently have.

Last week, I paid out just over 300 million for my Emp's full build.

Dropped about 20 mil the other night for some stuff for my PB Damagetank. My Ice/Dev's still sitting on 80 mil or so, so I figure I'll use that for my PB in the next week or two. Should garner quite a bit of inf next week, but this week, almost no playtime due to having a certification test Friday morning.

I laid out a bunch of tips earlier in this thread. Read over them and see which seem like something you can do.

I'm affording my builds by using those tips. ;)

I have made quite a few million inf off selling IOs from sets that I won't be using.
You really miss out if you are not checking prices of set IOs and salvage if you
sell them to your regular vendors and are not checking prices at wentworths.
I seem to find that acc and damage IOs from the sets get the most inf.

Oh ya, I'm always checking the price at the AH before opting (if at all) to sell to a Vendor.  Some Enhancement Recipes sell for a decent amount to the Auto-Doc in my Base, whereas the AH has them at a lower value.  Playing the market can dish some great Inf from time to time.

runed a fex respec 3 fast, rikti tf too.. and some other missions.

you're in a hurry, you want lvl 40 io plans : Warburg.
mobs 40, drops fast. you can also do bomb mission, get 60K final influ
have 2 hours free and a good team ? ride the rikti TF. more or less 4 or 5 millions
have more or less 2h or a little more : respec 3 is for you. 3 to 4 millions

these are the last things i tried lately. i'll get news from a friend who tried Quarterfield invincible... need to see the time spent and influ made.

Portals in the RWZ. You need not go above a lvl 52 portal. 52, 53 and 54s all give same xp/inf. Hop around till u find some rikti in the zone from lvl 50-52 and bug the com officer. Hope around while waiten for him to spawn the portal. Hop down one shot the portal (might need two, dependen on AT) and hop away. You just made 52,000 inf in 3 seconds. Rinse and repeat.
