Pool A (Critters)

Recipes from pool A are obtained by defeating enemies. Each time you receive a reward for defeating an enemy, the enemy defeated has a random chance of dropping one pool A recipe. (Giant Monsters are the exception to this rule.)

In addition to the uncommon and rare recipes listed below, drop pool A also includes all common enhancement and temp power recipes.

The level of a dropped pool A recipe is determined by the level of the mob that drops it. For example, if a level 34 mob is defeated, the any uncommon or rare recipe dropped will be level 34. A common recipe dropped by the same enemy would be either level 30 or 35. (Temporary power recipes are always level 10.)

Pool B (Missions)

Recipes in pool B are awarded for completing missions. Every time you complete a mission, each team member who receives the mission completion bonus will have a random chance of obtaining a pool B recipe.

It appears that the recipe selection is based off of the mission's level, but the recipe's level is based off the character's level. Thus, a level 50 character exemplared to a level 15 mission may receive a drop from a level 10-20 pool. That drop will then attempt to be matched to the character's actual level; since the pool doesn't extend to 50, it maxes the recipe out at 20.

Pool C (Task Forces)

See also: Taskforce Random Recipe Roll

Prior to Issue 13, recipes in drop pool C were randomly awarded at the end of Task Forces (and, confusingly, all Trials except the respec trial).

Now, random generation of Pool C recipes is only done as a Taskforce Random Recipe Roll at a Merit Vendor, at a cost of 20 Reward Merits per roll. Recipes are generated at your level, or at the maximum level possible for that recipe, whichever is lower. The level range selected in the right half of the Merit Vendor window (10-14, 15-19, etc.) will remove as possible selections recipes whose minimum is above the range or whose maximum is below the range. The level slider at the top of the Merit Window (1-50) only limits the ranges that are displayed, and does not otherwise affect the level of the recipe.

Pool D (Trials)

See also: Trial Random Recipe Roll

This article contains information that no longer applies to the current version of City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

Overview

The Trial Random Recipe Roll was a Reward Purchase available at Merit Vendors.

<onlyinclude>Prior to Issue 13, recipes in drop pool D were formerly randomly awarded at the end of respec Trials and Hamidon Raids.

With Issue 13, random generation of Pool D recipes was only done as a Trial Random Recipe Roll at a Merit Vendor, at a cost of 30 Reward Merits per roll.

As of Issue 14 this recipe roll was merged with the Taskforce Random Recipe Roll, and can be rolled for 20 Reward Merits, eliminating this reward roll.

Pool E (Minions Only)

Recipes in the pool E are similar to recipes in pool A in that they are rewarded for defeating enemies. Pool E recipes, however, are only awarded for defeating enemies ranked as minions. (It is possible for a single defeated minion to drop both a pool A and a pool E recipe.)

All recipes in drop pool E are level 10 recipes, regardless of the level of minion defeated.
