Guide to the Alien Playfields

[DragonShade]

I would like to point out that the token/cash items give you a choice between 10 tokens, or 4 mil.

Also, if you get all 3 data cores from these playfields, you get the sector 42 key, which, not only lets you get into sector 42, but you can right click it from anywhere in Andromeda, as long as you are not in a fight, and it takes you to the zone in place in apf. Meaning you can skip the shuttle. :-)

(there is no time delay on how often you can use this handy teleport.)

Wow..here I am a paid member and I cannot use the Alien Playfields because:
1. I dont have 3 keys to enter the elevator
2. I am not on a team..and
3. I am only at level 26 LOL!
Guess I will downgrade to freebie since I cant use this feature. I do use Shadow Lands but the others I guess are worthless to me.
Very Disappointed..

better just quit, even if you restart as a froob you'll still be denied access to Inner Sanctum for being too low level

APF is a tiny part of this game, accessible later on. At your level you can do alien raids and LE missions(if you have LE ofc)

Alien Invasion didn't so much add content as add items really. And more perks of course.

My only question would be at what level can I do this? Is the AI expansion for high level characters only?

Org city raids can be done at any level, but they are a lot more challenging at low levels (below L80-90) because of certain badly balanced mechanisms. And, obviously, you need an org with a city to do such raids.

Mothership (LE expansion) missions are also available at any level, as long as you are teamed, but the end bosses may be very hard or impossible to defeat at lower levels.

In the L100-150 range you have access to Sector 10, a team-oriented alien playfield with repeatable(?) quests and several end-bosses to defeat, but it's, for the most part, pretty much owned by solo fixer farm twinks...

Above L185 you have access to the high level alien sectors, which are instanced single/multi-team playfields with a repeatable quest and one or more end bosses to defeat.

There is a low level (below L100, I think) alien playfield in the making, and there also will be alien-themed daily missions some time in the future.
