I've turned in a Nova Driver and two RSS for the Prestige Missions.

I was doing all of them back when Vanduke was a crown machine. I stopped for now.

I have the Vanguard rank, and I try to do the missions that are "reasonable" to within my means.

Talking to my guildmates, we've discussed it a bit. I'm the only one among us (though we aren't a large guild) who actively tries to the the missions if I can.

On a mostly related note, how much prestige most players are accumulating is something that I'm very curious about. I'd love to see a graph or chart showing the average, or average per rank or anything of that sort. Partly I'd like to see to compare where I am on this, and partly just to get an unbiased idea of how many people spend the time to pursue a (so far) meaningless number and vague promise that it'll mean something later (NO OFFENSE intended towards OOO in the slightest - I see it as a challenge. :) )
I've been making a point of creeping on players around Haven who look like they know what they're doing (ie. 5* gear or expensive costume) and are likely to be high rank. I inspect them with the hope that full inspect is on to see how much prestige they have.
So far I've only seen two players over the 10K mark for prestige aside from myself (as of friday last week,) and this has been a huge surprise, as I figured I'd be closer to the middle of the pack for prestige. Of the two, one I'd never heard of and the other was a well known veteran player so I wasn't surprised there.
I've seen one player with over 13K prestige, so I can only surmise that some players MUST be turning in 4-5* items in order to have that much prestige.

Average for 5*, well equipped players seems to be about 6-8K prestige, which makes sense since the main missions should net you about 5-6K, I'd estimate. I haven't added them all up.
For lower ranked players most who are active and around 3-4* gear seem to have around 3-5K prestige.

As pertains to the original question and myself, I'll get back on topic. :P

As a not-incredibly-rich player (meaning one who is still making/buying new gear to use) I do the ones that aren't extremely costly to do.
I have a (sort of) formula that I use. If it gives me less than 100 prestige per 5-5.5K crowns, I don't do it. It's not exact but it gives me a rough basis to work off of that I can afford, and keeps me from spending too much pursuing a number that (so far) doesn't mean anything.

Mats are a freebie, the most costly ones I've turned in have been for Plasma Cells, which are about the only non-token, non-SL mats I don't have in abundance. I've noticed that generally when it asks for a 5* mat or more, you get at least 100 prestige. Good deal in my books.

Obviously the Mineral ones are free. I don't deposit them any more unless I want to change a new gate coming up (which is less common, and much easier to do now.)

At my current rank it doesn't just ask for deluxe supply packs. I've been asked for a few standard ones at Vanguard. I turn those in, since it's just crowns.
If it's for two deluxe I won't do it unless it's over lets say 150 prestige. So far the most it has asked for it two deluxe for 180 prestige (I think.) Easier than the material ones, IMO.

The Arms Appropriation ones... I have been avoiding since it got past asking for 3* items. It's asked me for Acheron, a few other 4-5* items, and a version of the upgraded Haze Bomb for which I certainly am not going to play enough PVP to get the recipe to make in a day. I think it asked for the 4* one, but it may have been a Stagger Storm... I had kind of hoped that those items had been removed from the list with the Mod Calibrators and Static Flashes.
The only one that I've considered doing is yesterday it asked for a Shadow Driver, which is one of the only items past 3* that I have and NEVER use (since I have a Sentenza and a Nova Driver with Slime Very High :P) and for only 180 or 200 prestige I let that one expire without collecting. I think I'd sooner vendor the item for 10K or get the upgrade recipe just to HAVE an Umbra Driver.

I only do the materials.
I used to do the minerals but I'm saving up for 10k minerals now.
I am way too poor to afford the item ones ......not that I'd do them anyways.

The 1 & only
<-------------

I don't even check Prestige Missions tab :-D

I've done all the prestige, barring supply packs and arms appropriation. Occasionally, I'll skip a mat request because I've only one of those, and one I'm saving for crafting.

I really don't care about the prestige missions, but I WILL do the material/mineral ones, since those never ask for much (Really, I have over 100 of all minerals in my inventory just sitting there, for no reason, same goes with the materials) Now, for the items...

I might not even have a full five star set of equip (Only armor and two weapons) but GOOD LORD, it's asking me for items I can't waste my time getting.

I don't even bother with the supply pack missions, they're a pure waste of my time and hard earned crowns.

Funny, I do every mission except Arms Appropiation (though i DID it one or two times with a Freezing Vaporizer and 3/2*) and my Prestige is 10k... and I went Vanguard as soon as missions where inserted/updated.

I think that even between users we get random prestige awards and we may get desynchronized sooner or later due to the randomness of the petitions. The only way this could be solved should be to change the "rewards to knights with X prestige" to "shop for prestige points".

I wonder when we will get more info about this. Maybe it is to give some life to the Supply Depot... xD

I do all of them, with the exception of 4 and 5* arms apropriation. Currently just under 10k prestige.

I rarely even do diving Prestige Missions ever since my Elevator Pass ran out, but as for those /other/ prestige missions, I really only do the 'Monstrous Research' when it isn't asking for a 4k cr mat like a Plasma Cell (I seem to have the worst luck with these), and 'Geological Survey' ones.

I don't do 'Arms Appropriation' for obvious reasons; it's a waste of a weapon, as well as the Energy/CR used to obtain said weapon. You're giving a weapon you used your energy/CR to craft/buy to an invisible NPC, and well... invisible NPC's don't matter. Ontop of that, all it does is increase a number (Prestige); and this number, until given a use; is useless. It does not accomplish anything, all it does is say "I do missions. Wew."

As for the 'Supply Delivery' ones... Eh, I have to be in a good mood to drop about 100 Energy for invisible NPC's to increase my PURTY NUMBER. This WAS a potential crown sink, but until Prestige has an actual purpose, then there really is no incentive to do so. An ACTUAL incentive, not a vague 'reward' that may or may not come around for God knows how long. All it accomplishes is removing Energy/CR from circulation with no real outcome.

I'm sure the prestige reward is already coded into the game once you reach a certain value

I don't do the item turn in ones (weapons or the packs), but I do all the others. I think I've missed out on half of the dailies due to laziness--or if they ask for a Primal Ore or something equally expensive--and the items thing. Until we find out what prestige actually does, I think my interest is going to wean to nothing soon.

I've been avoiding the Supply Packs and the Weapon turn-ins.

I actually would have done the supply packs, but recently I've been trying to save up my monies for certain accessories.

The weapon turn-ins are just too much to ask for. 2* and under wasn't bad, but when CE and tons of crowns start becoming needed(3*+), it started losing it's appeal. Not to mention the time and energy heat up the piece in order for it be crafted to the next level too. Too much work and resources.

I mostly do the material turn-ins currently, since like some others, I have plenty of materials to drop.

15k points as of now. I guess the only player who wins me is ruby. There maybe others but I have not seen yet.

The weapon prestige system, which requires 5* weapons to be turned in, seems to be designed in order to have knights buy from the Supply Depot.

These 5* weapons require a ton of heat, and each weapon mission lasts for only a day. Thus, unless you have a 5* premade, you're going to have to grind like crazy for the required heat, or buy one premade from the Supply Depot.

Keep your friend Psycho!

theres one thing that is very peculiar about the prestige mission arms appropriation. why do they not let u choose the weapon u want to give away. as long as the choose the stars, does it matter what weapon they take away?

I do all of them except for the Arms Appropriation one for obvious reasons. The supply pack missions only shows up once a week or so and i can afford 100-200 CE wasted on a good amount of prestige. (Even as a F2P player!)

I only do the material and mineral turn-ins.
Later I might start doing the supply pack ones, but there is NO WAY I am ever going to give a 4* or 5* item for prestige.
Not even for an extra zero at the end.
Nope, I still wouldn't find it worth it if they x10 how much prestige it gives.
