So I just 7*'ed my 7th F2P Character. Sources for each: GW Token: 3 Arena Tokens: 2 Cantina Tokens: 1 Cantina Battles: 1 I spent some time grinding out a Daka in there too, but I think this is about the speed/curve you can expect from the various sources. So I will probably have 7 starred at least 1 more GW toon before QGJ is done, and I'll probably finish up Greedo around the same time. So you're getting characters at least 2x faster form GW than from Cantina, probably close to 3x faster. Why the gently caress do they keep adding characters to the Cantina shop? Please add more toons to GW, because I'm now just Starring up Resistance Pilot because I can... I have no plan to use him.

From Cantina Tokens, I have: 5* QGJ, 5* Daka, 5* Poe From Cantina Battles, I have: 7* Luke, 4* Barriss, 6* Dooku, and some of JC's 4th and 5th stars, also 2* GS. From GW, I have: 7* Lumi, 7* Resistance Pilot, 7* Poggle from Arena, I have: 7* Sid, 6* Asajj, got Ackbar's 5th star, and now I'm working on 88. Also, for the past week, I have decided that GW needs a sacrifice to the shard shop. This CLEARLY makes the following day's GW easier, and no, your reasoning won't change my mind. Honestly though, it's worth it for the occasional time that you can pick up 2 shards for a hero that only comes in Cantina tokens or HM shards.

The total Tally is like: GW Tokens: 7* Lumi, 7* Phasma, 7* Poggle Arena Tokens: 7* Sid, 7* Eeth Koth, 3* Assaj, 3* Greedo Cantina Tokens: 7* Poe (got 3 star for free after TFA), 4* Daka, 4* QGJ Cantina Battles: 7* Luke, 5* Barris, 5* JC, 4* Chewie HM Battles: 4* Dooku (stopped grinding here, I'll finish him after Barris), 3* FOTP, and I've been supplementing the Poggle/Barris grinds with HM's. I'm about 40 deep into Rey (  )

Yeah, from HM, I've got FOTP almost to 3, Rey is 4* (almost 5), I've almost got Resistance Trooper to 4, and Ewok Elder is also almost 4 (although I opened him at 3). I've also been doing Daka, but most of her shards come from Cantina, and I've been doing about one of Barriss' per day. I'm basically doing all of this with 2 refreshes and the 135 free energy... I should probably put more energy into gear farming, but, for now, there's no one I really need to gear up for Arena, so I'm just trying to get as many hard mode shards as possible. Once QGJ hits 6*, I'll be working on his gear. I also am not bothering with the 50 purple items gear...the improvement you get from that much farming is not worth it. I've calculated it to about 2500 energy per item (at least -- I think it's actually more), and you just get so little value out of it, so I'm not bothering until you can get those items from challenges.

I too have been ignoring the 100 purple hair dryers. I get everything else, though. Every toon I unlock gets to be lvl 40, IV gear with rank 3 in every ability. I'm super loving socialist with my lowbies.

Plz mr Cap'n'Games, give purple dildos, my anus is starving  My high star crew stable: 7* Poggle 7* Lumi 7* Sid 7* Dooku 7* Kylo Ren 6* Daka 6* QGJ 6* Asajj 6* Phasma 6* Iggy86 Don't get much use out of Poggle, Asajj or Iggy 86 yet. Poor synergy with the other high star people that I've kitted out. Less than 10 shards left for Rey and Ahsoka to hit 5*. HK is already there but I don't have the credits (and he's lvl 1 so...). Just now noticed that 1) I have a Hoth Rebel Scout at 3 stars and 2) He's already at 30 shards and if I had 100k to spare I could bring him to 4* Too bad I've already maxed out the achievements for promotions, don't get nothing now

I've been focusing on raising a Jedi team lately and it's kind of slow going because my interest in this game has been waning. Lumi is maxed to the max right now, JC is only 5 stars but everything else is nearly maxed on him, Eeth Koth is like gear level 5 and level 60 but he's about 50 shards away from hitting 7 stars, Qui Gon is in about the same place only he's just barely at 5 stars, Plo Koon is just kind of whatever, he's 6 stars but I haven't put much effort into him otherwise. Either way, I should be able to at least unlock Yoda next week without having spent any money getting there and maybe get him up to 7 stars once he comes back again next month. I also got three whole Dooku characters from bronze packs over the last couple of weeks, two of them were in the same day. I've got him to 6 stars and I still haven't even unlocked his Cantina battle yet.

If you do the early 8 energy Cantina Battle missions you get about twice as many Battle shards as Credit shards; if you do the 12 energy missions it's closer to 5:4 (still more CB shards). Also since Jedi week starts in less than a week, Scoundrel event is at least 12 days away. There's still time to grind Lando, is I guess what I'm saying. kaschei fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Mar 5, 2016 |

Yeah, I just don't see the point though. To get to G9, Lumi, Sid, Dooku, Poe and Luke all need 100. RP needs 50 (but he also needs 50 of the other one). Going out on a limb, I'm guessing that QGJ, Rey, and FOTP need somewhere between 50 and 100. Old Daka, fortunately, needs 0. I get how important G9 is, but I'd much rather go wide so that I can continue to beat GW day after day. Yeah, the shards may be poo poo, but that's like 500k gold every day (plus random other poo poo), and without that, you're screwed. Also, I'm estimating somewhere between 5 and 10 tries per item. At 10 energy per try, that's 50-100 energy per item, and between 2500 and 5000 energy per completed item. The average is 3750, so that, times roughly 4 heroes (since that's probably how many you'll need to do this for) is 15000 energy. Per day, you get 375 energy, and I'm just going to assume you use 100 crystals for another 240 energy (you should). at 600 energy, that's 25 days of doing nothing but farming that one item. I mean, really, it's range of somewhere between 17 and 35 days, but who's counting? At some point, I might start getting some, but until they include those in some form of challenge, I just don't see the point.

I believe the drop rate for the items has been confirmed at 20%, so use the 5 tries numbers. Of course, RNG and all that. I see what you're saying, but at some point you're going to have a huge bench of Gear 7 and 8 toons that are getting crushed by the Gear 9 and 10 teams you're gonna smash into, even in GW. If you have a solid 7* team right now, 3 healers, and a good 5*-7* B-team, you should already be crushing GW every day, and the difference between Gear 8 and Gear 9 is very big, hello Geo Soldier! But the most important thing is to have fun, and grinding gear is not fun, so if you're okay possibly lagging behind so you have a cooler roster that's totally cool. I think with the last update, the additions of multiple new levels of Gear Challenges ensures we will get a chance to grab all of the /50 items at some point before level 80, and judging from the /50 Sensor challenge we already have, it's possible to grind out a full /50 gear in a week and a half from those Challenges alone. At least, if CG has a clue........okay bad track record there

I'm still trying to get a jedi team together so I could possibly do the Yoda event. Lumi and JC are fine but I have no money to train and gear up Level 57 4* Eeth Koth (Gear LvL VII), 58 3* Ahsoka Tano (Gear Lvl VII), and 43 2* Jedi Knight Guardian (Gear Lvl VI). Man, two teams in a row that are bullshit. And I already fought THREE OTHER 70 teams just this board. If I'm supposed to be able to do this without losing more than a team and having cooldowns and health carry over then I deserve to be rank 1 in the arena.

You can unlock QGJ for the price of the 5 shipments it took to get Ahsoka from 2 to 3 stars, and then you're buying a great character instead of Ahsoka Tano.

The GW fix made it worse for me. There's no way I can finish it with the last 6 missions being all 6-7* 70s. Oh Asaj is gear level 3 so that's balanced then.

My two GWs since the "fix" have both had full 7* 70 teams within the first 3 nodes (I'm 62), before that I'd completed GW for about 10 days straight. GW matchmaking being hosed is such a big deal because there's very little else to actually do in this game. I enjoy GoH but it is frustrating that CGs idea of content at higher levels is 5 arena matches, 3-5 challenges and simming your way through missions. GW being one of the most generous sources of progression also exacerbates the issue as it feels like you're dropping behind whenever you can't beat it.

GW is like the only mode where I'm actually playing the game and the matchmaking makes me quit early. Just make the rewards less if you want to have the same effect. I just want to play the drat game sometimes.

I've had oddly good luck from bronzium cards. So far I've managed to pull Lobot, Ashoka, and Dooku from them. I think I also got Clone Trooper twice now but whatevs on that. Getting Ashoka and Dooku saved me grinding my rear end on them to unlock them at least which is really rad. Edit: Did they nerf the amount of tickets you get when buying energy? I could have sworn it used to give you 25 for regular and cantina but It seems like regular gives you 20 and cantina only gives you 10 now.

It's the slowest way to get characters shards second only to Hard Mode farming. You really need to focus it on the key characters. Daka, QGJ, and Poe. You can't even really use Ahsoka until you've got a QGJ, and that's coming from the only guy I've seen say she's "not bad".

oops wrong forum posted:Gear lvl II characters are completely worthless so this should be in your benefit? Oh yeah that's great Asajj is super weak and useless while the rest (Lumi, Sid, Dooku, Rey) are completely maxed out in gear and stars. having that 1 character advantage doesn't help when my JC can get one-shot by rey and she gets rewarded with a 100% dodge for it. I'm about ready to do one less regular energy refill a day. I haven't kept a complete tally (I might do this tonight if I have time) but I feel like I get just about 150 crystals each day. So if I do two 50 energy refills I carry over an extra 50 day to day. But if I do a cantina refill on top of that I am losing 50 energy each day and I can't keep that up. So I'm wondering if I should just do one less 50 energy refill for LS/DS missions and be able to do a cantina refresh once a day. Because right now that one 50 energy refill is enough to do all the HM missions for Lumi and JC with some left over for gear farming. And anything else can use the energy from the mid-day free refills. But I could use more cantina energy to I can finish maxing out Geo and then have an extra source to finish off JC before moving on to another Cantina shard.
