Mentor-based Missions

• Selecting a Mentor in DC Universe Online doesn't just determine your starting area, it also determines the Mission lines you follow throughout the game. Each Mentor provides a mission from their main story arcs at level 5, level 15, and level 30 for their New Heroes or New Villains. As levels and renown increase, the player character's skills are solicited by other senior members of the JLA or Secret Society via missions from other story arcs or Miscellaneous Missions, forming the player's Mission Chain. Some of these missions are unique to Morality (hero or villain), some parallel the opposing morality and tell a story from either the hero or villain perspective.
• Concluding the Level 15 through Level 17 Missions set is required for:
• Accessing the On Duty menu for Instance content in Casual difficulty mode
• Level 20+ characters accessing both Events content as well as Story Arcs open-world zones via the Orrery of Worlds teleporter in the House of Legends.
