Featured Episode Rerun - Which Are Worth the Time?

edited December 2012 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I only started playing about August, but am familiar with MMOs as I have been playing them several years now. When I heard about episode reruns and a chance to get some limited time rewards, it got me very interested in running them once again. I already reran the one that gives Shard of Possibilities because I think it's a fun little trinket.

In your opinions, which other episodes are worth the time and effort to go through; not only for the weaponry they offer, but also for nice toys like the shard?
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

    Yes. If only for the lobi and BOFs.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    personally?

    I went for the rewards for the 2800 (the shard)
    and the Dividian related story, (wont spoil incase) but a VERY fun trinket to play with :)

    The rewards for the breen and romulan episode reruns didnt really appeal to me apart from a small thing on the romulan rerun (at risk of spoiling... a Boff ability - transfer shield strength - which might be handy with these breen ships at the winter event ^^) I prefer the Bridge officers i chose by hand off the exchange, for traits/abilities

    Lobis never appealed to me enough to rerun a mission for 1 lobi, the only toon i bothered with was my original/part time accolade hunter :)

    edit:
    Though this is only speaking for me, (this being a person who has had at least 12toons ..some who ment unfortunate transporter accidents) and have played most missions AT LEAST 15times |:.. well kdf/fed shared ones at least ^^

    The good point? i know how to speed run em to hell :D

    scavenger hunts, there a lobi hidden in each mission that is of a 'rerun' arc (normally 5 missions per rerun) like 20lobis in total?

    in your mission journal, on the left side there is a border with the rerun/christmas event, click on the rerun and a list of missions that have lobis pop up :)

    Bodly they rode and night of the comet basically.

    Breen boff and what not might have different skins but remember slots they take up is a loss of "teamwork" and efficient" in space.

    Sure if you have a few slots open and want something new to look at for ground missions go for the boffs but how often do you play away missions with your ground personal anyway.

    Maybe run through them once on one toon just to get the story, since usually they're pretty good. Then go back with the other toons to farm for the special item. The limted-time items you want to pick up are

    Ophidian Cane from "Night Of The Comet"
    Reman BOFF from "Cutting The Cord"
    Shard Of Possibilities from "Boldly They Rode"
    Breen BOFF from "Cold Storage"

    Of course if you want the 20 free lobi, you're gonna have to run all the missions.

    The FE series are some of the best content in the game, and are worth doing even if they didn't give a reward.

    these are very good suggestions. The lobi are kinda ho hum for me as I have many. The BOFFs I could go for and I am familiar with "Comet."

    They would be even better if we could put some of the limited items back on our boffs!

    Miss the days when my whole away team had pimp canes.....

    I wasn't going to go after the boffs on my klinks as I have a full lethean crew on both toons, but will do the cane and shard replays, as well as full scavenger hunts on both toons.

    My fed gets all 4 replays, as he hasn't played thru any of them yet AND has no special boffs or toys. I may even 'gift' him with a winter jacket and a Breen cruiser (if he's been a good boy).

    Each episode in the featured rerun has a hidden Lobi Crystal in it. You can get a total of 20 free Crystals, which I used to get 4 of the boxes from the vendor at the winter event for holiday commodities. You can get the free Lobi Crystals on each character and I plan on doing it on the rest. Also the Shard of Possibilities is fun. I now know what the heck people were using that created 2 copies of their characters in DS9 that stand there dancing lol. Also the Remen and Breen boffs I like and plan to use.

    Here is a list of where to find the hidden Lobi Crystals in each episode. *Note: You do not have to complete the mission, just get to the point you can claim the Lobi Crystal and you only need to do the final episode in each series for the special rewards suck as the Cane, Shard, and boffs.

    The Reman BOff has Transfer Shield Strength 3, which is a nice thing to have if you want to train a better BOff with it.

    The Devidian and Dominion reward items are probably the only ones really worth getting, though.

    I found the Jem'Hadar sets were pretty good for freebies. And having the TOS gear was a blast. But those aren't replay rewards...

    I have all fleet weapons, both ground and space so I was looking for more along the lines of toys and BOFFs. Some of your suggestions are very good. Thank you all for taking the time to answer my question! ;)

    Actually, if you want both the shard AND the jem'hadar Boff you need to do the last mission and the one before it.
