== Requirements and Contacts ==

The [[Trial|trial]] is initiated by speaking to [[Ada Wellington]], who is located near [[Wentworth's Fine Consignments|Wentworth's Consignments]] in the Christie Square neighborhood in the northwest corner of [[Kallisti Wharf]], northwest of the [[Paragon Transit Authority]] monorail station.

=== Valet Badge ===

The [[Valet Badge|Valet]] badge is granted at the completion of this [[Trial|trial]], but the actions to earn it take place at the beginning of the third mission. 

There are 6 cars and 4 trucks around the [[Wentworth's Fine Consignments]] building. Upon entering the mission the PPD Liaison Officer will communicate with the team via radio, and the [[Freakshow]] nearest the cars and trucks will begin attacking the vehicles. It is important to move quickly to taunt and control the [[Freakshow]] near the vehicles. There are 3 cars on the main road, 3 cars and a truck in the car parks to the west, and 3 trucks in the loading bays behind Wentworth's, as depicted in the image to the right. The [[Freakshow]] can be lured to the [[Paragon Police Department|PPD]] NPCs gathered near the mission entrance in order to get the NPCs to help in defeating them.

As soon as a single vehicle is destroyed, the badge cannot be obtained in that attempt. The team will be notified if a vehicle is destroyed via yellow text in the center of the screen.

=== Crimson Prototype ===

The final [[Archvillain|archvillain]] is an enormous red robot called the [[Crimson Prototype]]. When the [[Crimson Prototype|Crimson Prototype's]] health reaches 75%, 50%, and 25%, waves of [[Sky Raiders]] reinforcements will spawn nearby. Among the reinforcements are one or more [[Sky_Raiders#Force_Field_Generator|Force Field Generators]] that will prevent the [[Crimson Prototype]] from taking damage while they are active. The [[Sky_Raiders#Force_Field_Generator|Force Field Generators]] must be destroyed before the [[Crimson Prototype]] can be damaged further.

== Rewards ==
Completion of the Market Crash Trial awards 20 [[Special_Salvage#Reward_Merit|Reward Merits]], the {{badgeLink|Loyal Customer}} Badge and for first time completion one [[Very Rare IO Sets|Very Rare IO (purple)]] recipe.
{{BadgeBox|Loyal Customer}}

== Trivia ==
* Market Crash is the first piece of playable content that was added to [[Kallisti Wharf]] post-shutdown.
* Originally titled ''Flood the Market'', the Trial was previously a limited time event, added by [[SCoRE]] during the month of [[Issue_25_-_Patch_Notes_for_2014#Flood_The_Market|June, 2014]] on [[City of Heroes Resurgence]]. The Trial was originally a singular mission- the finale. Players queued up in teams to play it via the LFG system, rather than through a contact, much like other event Trials (such as [[Summer Blockbuster]]). It exists as the only piece of playable content from that period of the game's history, and the first piece of mission-based content ever released by a team other than Paragon Studios.
