What comes after the rainbow??
This thread will be for those interested in finding out the next stage of defense merit after rainbow (200k). Anyone care to venture guesses as to when and what the next one will be? I hope it will be at 225k.
What are the milestones for merits? It looks like there's one at 125k, 150k, and 175k.(?) It would make sense that the next is either at 225k or 250k.
Was there a defense merit at 175k? I admit, I didn't pay that close attention while you were there, and your post in the hall of fame makes no mention of a badge. I would guess 250k for the next badge, and maybe we'll finally get into those talented, worthy, honourable badges that Sandy mentioned ages ago. And just for fun... 100 - defense merit 250 - brass 500 - silver 1000 - gold 2500 - platinum 5000 - ruby 7500 - emerald 10000 - obsidian 13000 - diamond 16000 - disprosium 20000 - kithrill 25000 - centrolium 30000 - hyperium 35000 - composium 40000 - hydrasteel 45000 - daemonsteel 50000 - dracosteel 60000 - elvensteel 70000 - giantsteel 80000 - kentsteel 90000 - lizardsteel 100000 - photosteel 125000 - magnetosteel 150000 - heliosteel
175000 - ?
200000 - rainbow
If we assume that the defence merits naming schemes follow the item level path, then that leaves room for a potential merit above heliosteel (74,75) but below rainbow (84,85). Poking through the items around that level I see two recurring -steel suffixes that would be applicable to a defence merit:
Hypnosteel
(80-84)
Dewsteel
(82-84) Now, let's consider that merit distribution seems to follow a pattern past Kithrill, as I'll highlight below: 20000 - kithrill 25000 - centrolium 30000 - hyperium 35000 - composium 40000 - hydrasteel 45000 - daemonsteel
50000
- dracosteel 60000 - elvensteel 70000 - giantsteel 80000 - kentsteel 90000 - lizardsteel
100000
- photosteel 125000 - magnetosteel
150000 - heliosteel
175000
- ?
200000 - rainbow It would appear that the incremental conquests required for successive merits increases at every 5 or 10 mark. If this jump happens at 150,000, then we'd see a jump straight to 200k. If not, then we have a merit at 175k (Hypnosteel or Dewsteel; anyone recognize either?) Regardless of the 175k merit's existence, the next merit will very likely be at 250k.

You've eliminated 300000 monsters already! The Royal Official shows up again and congratulates you for your additional efforts. He removes your old badge and replaces it with new Hypnosteel Defense Merit of Larkinor badge, then disappears. Woohoo! Another badge! Now, is the next one at 400k or do I have to wait for 500k? This is going to take forever...
