The second you get a 7 Star character, you could start getting Raid Han or possibly GK shards. At 65 you can start tickling Territory Battles to get some rewards there. I would join a goon guild as close to 65 as you can after getting someone to 7. Before then you’re better off in a lowbie guild doing easy Rancors.

Yeah, spots open up in QGJ all the time, and we take people at pretty much all levels. But you should wait until you can do high level raids. Not for us or anything, we don't care if a few people can't contribute. But so you can get our sweet sweet rewards. When you're there, hit us up again.

Thanks, i put a zeta on IBAT! Like number crunch, it doesn't seem obviously useful but i will trust you know what you are talking about!

Raid Han is at G10 now, getting to G11 looks really painful with 2 stun guns, 2 yellow things and 2 other big components. At least he will be 7* in 2 Rancors.

My current arena team is CLS, Leia, Thrawn, R2 and Ezra. Ezra worked a lot better than Old Ben. Should i swap Ezra out for Raid Han once i get him to 7*? Or should i take Leia out instead. Occationally she does jack but she also has a tendency to outright erase enemy heroes.

Either or. Try both and get a feel for what you prefer. Eventually you’ll replace the other one with GK.

First 3 stages are a free for all, though try not to waste squads on the first stage. If we get to stage 4 before 24 hours, wait until that 24 hour mark to continue on to stage 4.

edit: I should say this is for QGJ. I don’t know how the other guilds do it.

Definitely worth it to just start over so you aren't ages behind on your arena shard.

You should read the OP, but I can summarize it for you: you're level 71. That should take maybe 2 months to get there if you play on a daily basis. If you aren't willing to start over don't bother playing, because you won't catch up to anyone on your shard.

EDIT: it's also still really grindy, except they've added a whole bunch more stuff to grind.

It's really just a question of how far behind you're willing to be in both arenas. If you can handle not being competitive in the upper brackets and getting all those arena creds, then you don't -have- to blow up your account. It'd just be the optimal thing to do for the long term.

Yeah I don't really care about competing in the meta. I guess I'll see how much I play over the next week

Nothing you have now is worth a drat in the current meta field is the problem.

I can tell you played pretty close after launch because you've got sidious and Geo Soldier, but these toons aren't worth much these days.

You can continue on with your old account, obviously, but arena shards are static so the people who rolled up with you ~2 years ago are all maxed out, shitloads of mods, and have great, exclusive toons. You'll be on the outside looking in of your shard for probably a year or more, making next to no crystal income.

I think OP was saying that, with Lando, getting Wiggs as well will make a kick rear end team. At least, I’m assuming that’s what they meant. Because it will.

Yea. At least FO is slow, but you know how long its going to take you. I've had days in a row i don't get a single shard for FO ST.

Really? That was a surprisingly quick farm. I barely had shards of him the first time BB8 rolled around and i had FOST at 7* well before BB8 appeared the second time.

I did refresh daily attempts when the FO nodes were 2x drop both times though.

My nemesis hard farm is Baze. Since i got FOST at 7* i started using Baze for my daily 5 hards and i have gotten only 20 shards for him since then, in what 150 or so hard battles?

I'm putting wedge and darth maul in for my leaders so newbs can AoE 3* low-end content.

With maul you don’t want him to AoE you just want him to single target and get free turns and kill everything single target.

You can't really start farming Wedge until level 60+, but Biggs and Lando are both attainable well before that. However, at this point, I'd lean towards farming Phoenix before Wiggs.
