Part 1 already asks for warp 65 to finish, and Part 5 pushes to 80, so check your warp before you open the chain rather than stalling halfway through. Warp to start is 1 on every part, which means you can pick a part up long before you can finish it.<\/p>\n<p>Three parts involve combat. Part 1 wants 5 kills at level 41 or higher and Part 4 wants 10 at level 40 or higher, both inside Hurgh&#8217;maQ, so a hostile-grinding crew earns its keep on those two trips. Part 3&#8217;s Arkonian vessel sits at roughly 5.65 million strength and is the only named target in the chain; bring a repaired ship and a combat crew for it.<\/p>\n<p>The two Ra&#8217;taj planets in Part 2, Talha and Tonrak, are visited in order, and Part 4 sends you back to Talha for the pickup, so expect to cross between Hurgh&#8217;maQ and Ra&#8217;taj more than once. Decide your Part 5 path before you get there, since the branch changes where you end up: Szov on Path 1, Fect on Path 2.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_the_A_Blessing_and_a_Bane_rewards_worth_it\"><\/span>Are the A Blessing and a Bane rewards worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, if you can finish it. The chain hands over 8 Beverly Crusher shards, 5 Jean-Luc Picard shards, 18.3 million Parsteel, 3.2 million Tritanium, 395,000 Dilithium, and 30 one-hour speed ups for five parts and one real fight. The Parsteel alone covers a serious building push at level 42, and the officer shards make it hard to skip.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Blessing and a Bane Walkthrough f\u00fcr Star Trek Fleet Command: alle 5 Teile, Ziele, Systeme, Warp, die finale Entscheidung und jede Belohnung auf Level 42.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[169],"tags":[188,212],"class_list":["post-14243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-missions","tag-neutral-missions","tag-tng-arc-4"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14243"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32289,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14243\/revisions\/32289"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
