| 76 | >What do costumes do? | |
| 77 | Costumes are primarily just cosmetic changes to a character to help you differentiate and customize your hero. By leveling up crafters, you can add and remove boosts to stats onto your costumes. | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | >What are enhanced costumes? | |
| 80 | Enhanced costumes differ from regular costumes in that they do more to alter your character's appearance. They can alter your character's voice & dialogues, aura, as well as power effects. Just like regular costumes however, they are purely cosmetic. | |
| 81 | ||
| 82 | >How do I get costumes? | |
| 83 | Most costumes can be obtained from drops from mobs/bosses or purchased directly in the store. | |
| 84 | - | You will need to buy Gs from MarvelHeroes.com |

| 90 | Other costumes are limited "Chase" costumes. These cannot be bought, and can only be found via drops. | |
| 91 | ||
| 92 | ||
| 93 | ||
| 94 | >How do I specifically get Costumes and Characters to drop? | |
| 95 | Characters and Costumes only drop from Elite/Champion enemies (denoted by bright colored auras around only their hands or around the outline of their bodies, as well as colored names) and bosses. | |
| 96 | - | Besides waiting for drops, buying heroes is the only way. If you wanted to save money through character bundles, Steam offers bundles of 4 characters, 8 costumes, and 10 fortune cards: |
| 96 | + | |
| 97 | >I've been playing forever, and nothing seems to drop. How do I increase the rate? | |
| 98 | A few things affect your chances to get these drops, they are: | |
| 99 | Special Item Find % - This is a percent that can be boosted through gear, and temporarily through potions from certain missions and the cash shop. If you expect to find any characters or costumes in a reasonable amount of time, you MUST wear whatever gear you can to boost this. | |
| 100 | Rest Rate - Just like with how a character gets rested XP bonuses by not using them (being signed off or using another character), characters gain a rested bonus towards better drops. Keep this in mind to ensure that you give your other heroes love to let your main rest, and putting any more difficult dailies first when running them to ensure they get the better chances of dropping better stuff. | |
| 101 | First Boss Defeat Limit - Special Items are limited to the first time you defeat a boss with a character each day, both in normal missions as well as the dailies. Subsequent times defeating the boss will still yield experience and medallions, however. | |
| 102 | ||
| 103 | >When does the timer for bosses reset? | |
| 104 | The timer resets after 24 hours you first defeat them. So killing Shocker at 5pm on Monday will require you to wait until 5pm on Tuesday the next day to have another chance at Special Items. | |
| 105 | ||
| 106 | >What's the difference between Rare Item Find and Special Item Find? | |
| 107 | Rare Items are considered as high quality gear (Blue and up). | |
| 108 | Special Items are Costumes, Characters, Fortune Cards, and everything else. | |
| 109 | ||
| 110 | ||
| 111 | ||
| 112 | >How do I buy stuff from the store? | |
| 113 | You will need to buy Gs from MarvelHeroes.com. You can then buy whatever you'd like from store in-game. | |
| 114 | ||
| 115 | >What's the conversion of $ to Gs? | |
| 116 | $1.00 = 100Gs | |
| 117 | Larger G packs come with bonus G. (ie. $20 for 2100G) | |
| 118 | ||
| 119 | - | Ultimate Powers are unlocked at level 30 and can only be improved by finding drops of the same character (Cyclops character tokens to boost Cyclops' ultimate power). |

| 120 | Prices vary on everything, with what's perceived by devs as more popular, costing higher. | |

| 137 | >How do I level up vendors/crafters? | |
