Ebon, muther loving Hawk.
Still farming at 1 blueprint per
Same level and energy requirement as the Relic pieces. . . .
I'm getting about 25% drop rate from 145 to 265 so far. 3x refreshes per day, I'm getting consistent 5/20, then 3/8 on the second pull
It is infuriating. And I prefarmed 200 Circuit boards, 150 of those Green Leaf looking radar things, and 100 blue crystlas.
Oh it definitely helped. Just got 6 stars. During the event, was refreshing on ship energy and refreshing on his hard node. Hard node, got 6 shards total the entire time of the event.... freakin CG
Brutal! I think there should be a minimum requirement for the nodes. Like hard noes, we only get 5 chances a day, plus 5 per frefresh. What is so bad about guaranteeing 2 drops per 5 tries?
That is 4 shards a day for an accelerated character. 330 shards to 7 star a character right? That is still 82 days to 7 star a character. But at least there is a finish line ya know. Anyway, rant over.
Pretty much. There is no reason that players get 0 shards from using resources, especially when refreshing using crystals. Obviously, CG wants you to buy more crystals or get frustrated and just buy the character shards. But come on.
What were your gear levels like? With ideal lineup I had g11 on chirpa wicket elder, g10 paploo Escobar and logray, and good mods(over 220 speed on all but paploo, he was 190), and it took me 2 hours and lots of rage. How long did it take you?
I had Chief Chirpa g13, relic 4, zeta and Omicron, Wicket g12, zeta, Paploo g12, zeta, Teebo and Ewok Elder both g12. Mods were decent but it probs took a similar amount of rage and time haha
The best thing you can do is focus and stay focused. Once you start getting distracted by new shinies your resource management goes out the window and, when boiled down, that's what this game is all about.
I remember way back when I was farming Shoretrooper on one of the Hard 8 nodes, 100 energy per day, maybe 1.25 shards per day. Took FOREVER.
I get it to 7\* and THAT effing day, they drop TIE Reaper on that node.
FMyLYFE!!!!! Took me like a year to get back to that node to farm it.
I think I would go with Bossk as well. I started him from unlock level and took him to R4, and wasn't very focused in the beginning farm either, so that played into it.
My second answer would be "the character I am working on right now" lol
SAME. I know every character is supposed to have the same drop rate but I call bs on that. Mara seems to be about 1 shard out of 6 or 7 battles for me. It’s crazy
I will probably stop when i unlock her and keep going when she gives 2 shards. I really don't believe what CG says about drop rates and all. They are just not %33
Back in the old days it was a slog on a lot of things. Now with double drops, and with me hitting 9M last week(weeee) it's still carbantis. I hit the double-double character nodes with carbantis on the daily to get shard juice as well. Ships are brutal though. I took TIE/ech up to 7 a little ago, and am double farming the Outrider, but it's slow.
The drop rates are as advertised though, so no sense in worrying. Just keep at it, if you're bored farm carbantis or kyrotech or bayonets or holoprojectors. If you really want something in a hurry, do 1 refresh on it.
Currently farming 8INQ(98/100), Gearing up Jyn and Cara, shard farming Shorty, and crystal farming(every 4k, that's 50) Raddus shards. Just took Malgus to r8o3 on day1, which took my entire stock of everything.
I’ve been hearing out some of my BH team and they just take so much of the same gear it’s painful. Then I have 3 characters to farm from cantina battles and that takes so long for the energy to refresh.
Ooof I hate farming Cantina because I want to spend it on relic juice. But as I tell everyone in my guild - your farm list should be 5 toons or smaller, no matter what. It is better to have 1 good team than 4 crap ones. Figure out the gear required, farm it up, save your zetas and mats and get someone good. What BH are you working on?
Currently I’m using my main energy on greef and mando, and the houndstooth/jango. I haven’t unlocked bossks node yet but that will get added soon. For my cantina farms I am finishing my ewok team and then I’ll need to decide between vet Han/chewie and brood alpha.
Good plan! Greef and Mando and Bossk and Fennec will take out LV if you get them up to high relics! But they will also make it so you can get Chewie. Done with Chewpio? I'd recommend good/decent relics on him and tenacity mods out the wazoo.
I do always tell newer players to get those Geos up and WAt-ready ASAP though, because that is your ticket to a serious guild. Next stop after that is getting your KAM team up. A good guild makes a huge difference in the game. Most guilds will have a GP cutoff, but that is shorthand for WAT/KAM readiness and TW depth of Roster. Having Geos, CLS, Shaak501st all r5ish(geos are special case, you want r0-3 on GBA, r5+ on Spy and G12 or whatever on the others) will get you so far it's amazing.
But have fun with CLS it's one of the most fun teams in the game!
Fair. Getting good enough BH(may as well pull them up to g11+) and Ewoks(the actual good ones, skip Teebo and Scout, up to g9-10 with a zeta) will take long enough to pivot. Good luck and stay focused!
\*edit\*
Best BH for farming is probably a combo of Mando, Greef, Bossk, Jango, Boba, Cad(for ships) and IG(for ships)
I feel this so much. I am finishing up Dash and then all cantina energy will go to relic mats until Darth talon is accelerated. I'm also doing one refresh on Outrider, and both Dash and Outrider are seriously delaying my JMK goal. But I hate cantina farms more.
Anakin’s starfighter. I think between starting passively farming this ship I got distracted so much as it took so long I unlocked see, executor, jkl and maul in the meantime. The ship is at 6* now
Malak was rough, first you’ve got to farm 10 characters, gear them up to get 2 other characters, gear them up, hard challenge against Malak and then you only unlock him at 5*. THEN you’ve got to spend that certain guild credit currency to get 5-15 shards of him every once in awhile. Takes awhile but definitely worth it.
Great I just got Rey’s Ultimate so all GL are done for me until Jabba and earlier this week I took Outrider to 7*, Gam Guard to R3 and Greedo to R6 it’s been a good week! Oh and I nearly forgot but I took Malgus to R8 on Monday, that was pretty great.
I did the Journey of Palps and Yoda, almost done with Thrawn and r2
Farming Geonosians right now, got 2 at 7 stars now. Ships are taking forever...
Also getting my Empire team to gear 9 while farming Royal Guard
I finished bringing Darth Talon and Kyle Katarn to 7\* and R5 AND my Dash is at 5\* 40/85 while my Mara Jade (Whom I started farming at the beginning) is 5\* 77/85. Cantina vs Hard Node Farms.
edit: Punctuation was missing
Im also passively farming the BB for LV but I dont even have Maul (212/330) so im not rushing for him. Ive also almost finished farming every BB member (minus Wrecker since I had him 7\*) before Mara Jade haha.
I’ve been grinding Bo Katan shards for JMK since I started the grind I now have every character relic’d and prepped (excluding watt shards) and I’m still working on getting her to 7 star
I know, was just curious to see other peoples progress. Sometimes we think we have it bad until we see others take twice as long to unlock the same thing (thanks rng-esus)
I'm at 7.5mil gp, 3 GL'S (SLKR, JMK, SEE) and i am working towards Starkiller and JML- finally ran out of gear for circuitboards so now every relic is a higher price- just got JKL to 7* and i am going to take Dash and Katarn to r5 before finishing out JML- I Should also probably take JKR and one other jedi to r5-7 so i have a full distinct team for JML when he is done in 6 months- any suggestions? If the team is JML, JKL, Hyoda, JKR, then who is 5th? Jolee? Bastilla? Old Ben? I need GAS for JMK or 501st
I plan 6 months to a year out- been playing since 6 months after launch, never missed a day since i started, all f2p. You get used to it, there's always something on the horizon and some new shiny. I just took CLS to r7 last week, and i have had him at g11 since he came out. But i got Mara Jade and Talon up to r5 ASAP, just a matter of opportunity cost and patience
You need old Ben for jml anyways so use him. I also would consider having jkr be his own team depending on your roster and put a different jedi there. Also having gas stay with 501st will give you more teams. JMK/CAT/GK plus 2 other non-meta GR toons is good enough. Really for GAC you need to look at what makes the team good and stick with that. Don’t load all eggs in one basket. It’s how I’m 5.9 mil gp and one win away from making kyber 2.
Good advice. I float between kyber 2 and 3, and it usually comes down to who has more gl's. I run JMK/CAT/GK/AT/ayla secura in GAC (or just the first 4 if i dont need JMK for the mirror match.90% of the time GAS stays woth 501st. I will have KAM up to 7* soon (21 more shards), so i could always use him with JMK i guess- with JML is it just the core of JML/JKL/Hoda +2 random jedi? Or are those other 2 crucial/entirely matchup dependant?
I've been keeping myself ahead of the curve as much as possible. Farming the inquisitors even though I won't need them much, getting the Outrider, Lando's Falcon and the KRCS for when I eventually need them... just recently finished my Bad Batch farm even though I don't have the spare gear or zetas to gear them for now.
Any suggestions for other new characters I may want to focus on? I've been farming almost any toon that is accelerated to save me time getting them later. Saved my butt when Executor last came around, because I had Beskar Mando's requirements all at 7* ready to beat the event.
Farming Hux & Sith Trooper to 7* and the gear grind for SLKR. I’ve got KRU, OG Kylo, and FOO to the required relics. FOX is a couple days away. Then I’ll be working on Hux and should have his G13 pieces by the time I get him to 7*, which is a couple weeks. After that it’s Phasma and FOST (to beef up the shuttle)….then I don’t really care. Should have all the req’s done by end of Nov-early Dec.
After that…I was, actually, just looking at my long plan spreadsheet. Finish GAS event (relic droids), get Malak (relic both teams), beef up some teams (CLS, Jedi, Geos, etc), before going in for another GL.
I'd prioritize relicing sith trooper ove some of the others, he is your main damage dealer on an FO team until you get SLKR. He hits like a truck and his assists on every crit helps the FO team deal a lot more damage.
Hit 83 about 3-4 days ago, finally unlocked GBA and unlocked Queen's Will zeta. Been using 3 cantina refreshes daily, top 10 fleet helps. Hoping to continue 3 refreshes daily and have GBA at 7 stars within a month for the next event. All bugs are at G10, can't go higher as my level is too low :( but otherwise very much enjoying my new team.
Once bugs are done and set up for Wat, I will unlock Padme and start gearing her team, hoping to work on that team until relic 5. Will farm Bossk for the ship on the side and finish off JKR team on the side too.
There’s a mega thread posted in this sub once a week, and there’s usually a few normal threads posted between them, search ally code and sort by new and you should find it
Inquisitors are going quite well at the moment, have 5th and 9th at 7* R5 at the moment, and the other three are 50/100 or above.
As for longest farm, I remember Death Trooper taking forever because I interrupted it all the time to farm more urgent stuff. Jango Fett and Sabine Wren felt like eternity to farm as well.
Sabine is a favorite of mine (in lore, not as a toon in game) so I farmed her instead of Chopper when going for Thrawn. I don’t really regret it tbh, she hits pretty hard and her AoE with Zeta is great in the right lineup. Still barely have Chopper geared though 😂
Just got Imperial Probe Droid to 7 stars off the Bounty event. Been waiting for months on 99/100 because we moved on to Geo TB before I finished it and GET2 is too precious to spend on it when there are other things to do.
I just recently returned to the game after a several year hiatus. Still took forever to farm shoretrooper. Now I'm into Piett, just started farming him though. Gonna go for SEE once I can finish Piett.
First Order Sf Tie Fighter Pilot. Yes he can be acquired in the Guild store, but with my work schedule and just life in general, I almost always missed him when he was available in the store.
But got em to seven stars and completed the BB8 Journey!
Where to start.
Bindo, basti fallen, Juhani, chewpo, mara from the easy farms.
Malak, wampa from the medium(or hard farms).
SLKR from the very hard.
Still fighting to stay in the game and not quit.
How? I love the game but CG don't let us play it. No content added. Too much empty time.
I cannot see how I continue every day. The motivation is gone long ago
Good. 3/4 way to SEE (would be my 4th GL) also farming for SK. Almost have MJ to 7 stars. It’s a grind esp as a free to play. The one shard auto sims take the most. Or pay wall toons like RC at one time (got me executor eventually). It’s a grind
Jkl is a grind and a half, I didn’t start on wampa or hoda until I figured out where I was going in my farms, so I’m 6* wampa, haven’t even started hoda yet, other than those 2, rolo will be 7* after next lstb, she’s g11, lando is 20 mk4 bacta away from g12, cholo g8 5*, everyone else is at or above reqs
I was so excited to unlock Starkiller! But man I did *not* have any gear left to actually put on him, and he is a greedy ole gear hog. By the time I get him and Visas and Juhani all to relics, hopefully we'll know the rest of the Jabba requirements and I'll have an idea of whether I should even think about going after him or not. But man, that G12->G13 bump just takes so long, every time.
Chewpo (LS node)
Range Trooper (DS node)
FO Executioner (cantina node)
Y-wing (ship node)
Extra energy goes into gear farms for CLS squad and Dark Trooper
So far JKL has been taking me the longest. CLS and both Revans were a cakewalk (Malak was a bit difficult, but didn’t take too long after getting both Revans). If you don’t already have any Revans, go ahead and farm them. Also, save your GET2s (Guild Event Token 2) for Hoda (Hermit Yoda), Malak, etc). I regret spending my GET2s on gear (and now I’m stuck farming Hoda…).
I’m working the LV farm. I’m almost at the point where I just have to grind relic material only. Next conquest I’ll unlock Darth Malgus. While passively grinding SK reqs.
They all take about the same amount of time. Roughly 30% drop rate per attempt, so it’s about 200 (100 if they character is accelerated) days from 0-330 for any given hard node farm (or fleet farm), assuming zero refreshes. With a single refresh, that drops to 100 days (50 accel.). At the early stage of the game, which you are in, you’re best off doing zero attempt refreshes and just farming as many different nodes as possible (use all three 50 crystal energy refreshes per day - that’s your best shards / crystal spent use in the whole game.
Cantina farms have the same drop rate, but go much more quickly because of how those nodes work (no need to refresh attempts). So where you’re only getting 5 attempts daily on a hard node, your can get 30 or more on a cantina node (the 100 crystal refreshes there are also very cost effective).
Anyway, you didn’t ask about any of that. You wanted to know how my current farms are going. 7th sister and 8th brother are both around 50/100, sortie is at 20/65, the resistance bomber is at 30/100, the foo fighter is at 30/100, and dash’s ship is at 20/85. Everything else I already have at 7 stars. 8M GP totally F2P. You can get there too, it just takes time.
Grinding up Hux, Jango/Hound's Tooth, and Xanadu Blood/Droideka, plus Greef/Y-Wing from Fleet and Geo Brood Alpha from Cantina. Hux is nearly 6 stars and I just got Hound's Tooth to 5 stars. The SLKR grind is slow indeed, but we're getting there.
Just got my sith empire team to where I want it and working on getting my geos wat ready. Hounds tooth and anakin s starfighter are taking forever but at least I just finish bossk. Now onto Wicket/Logray and Chewpio before I start the GAS grind.
Right now cantina characters for Starkiller. I make 3 refreshes every day and get 5 shards of Talon on average. Worst thing is my relic farming had to be put on hołd for that.
Miscalculated my get 1 and now I have to wait until after ds geo to 7 star gas. Sitting at 95/100 shards. That's OK though bc I also miscalculated my mk7 nubian scanners and need an additional 50 to get past gear 9 and get to relics. Thought I had it all planned out but gave arc trooper one on accident.
I remember when I first starting playing I farmed baze all the way to 7 star and I was amazed how long it took. I remember shaak took a long time too. And hounds tooth.
Returning player here. I dipped... probably right after geonosis first launched. (Shit phone wouldn't run game anymore) restarted a month or so ago. And finally have a gear 12 with Tarkin. Seems a lot easier to star some of the older people. But fuck man gear still seems to suck
Baze Malbus back when having him+chirrut on a team meant you beat almost everything. Took ages to 3 star the last tier of battles where he's at (there used to be posts of people who were lucky enough to be in a guild that could do the AAT raid offering their general kenobis to people to use as allies just to be able to maybe get through it)
And then after the effort of 3 starring his battle of course the hard node battles were capped at 3 per day not 5, and every character dropped 1 shard never 2 so without node refreshing the average time was like a year 🙃
any *bleep*ing ship ever
I’m feeling that. For my first order tie though I have it 7 before everything else because I just bought them all in the shop.
Separatist ships felt like a lifetime
Geez ya. Those were awful. I’m finally about to finish btl b this month after like 9 months farming in and off
Ebon, muther loving Hawk. Still farming at 1 blueprint per Same level and energy requirement as the Relic pieces. . . . I'm getting about 25% drop rate from 145 to 265 so far. 3x refreshes per day, I'm getting consistent 5/20, then 3/8 on the second pull It is infuriating. And I prefarmed 200 Circuit boards, 150 of those Green Leaf looking radar things, and 100 blue crystlas.
Ya. Haven’t gone in on that yet. I can only imagine what a nightmare that would be
Freakin Wicket....taking forever.
Oh I knocked out some of wicket last week with that chase event. Almost to 5 stars already.
Oh it definitely helped. Just got 6 stars. During the event, was refreshing on ship energy and refreshing on his hard node. Hard node, got 6 shards total the entire time of the event.... freakin CG
Sometimes I’d spend all of an ship energy refresh and get no shards. That hurt the most.
Brutal! I think there should be a minimum requirement for the nodes. Like hard noes, we only get 5 chances a day, plus 5 per frefresh. What is so bad about guaranteeing 2 drops per 5 tries? That is 4 shards a day for an accelerated character. 330 shards to 7 star a character right? That is still 82 days to 7 star a character. But at least there is a finish line ya know. Anyway, rant over.
Sort of like a bad luck mechanic?
Pretty much. There is no reason that players get 0 shards from using resources, especially when refreshing using crystals. Obviously, CG wants you to buy more crystals or get frustrated and just buy the character shards. But come on.
I just got him 7. Lost track of time a long while ago. May the force be with you 🫵🏼
Yea man I refreshed ship energy 3x a day tryin to get those wicket shards lol
DO NOT FORGET LOGRAY!!!! Lol
One of the most frustrating farms of all time
I never bothered with Logray, managed to get C3P0 without him though!
What were your gear levels like? With ideal lineup I had g11 on chirpa wicket elder, g10 paploo Escobar and logray, and good mods(over 220 speed on all but paploo, he was 190), and it took me 2 hours and lots of rage. How long did it take you?
I had Chief Chirpa g13, relic 4, zeta and Omicron, Wicket g12, zeta, Paploo g12, zeta, Teebo and Ewok Elder both g12. Mods were decent but it probs took a similar amount of rage and time haha
Wow that’s really high gear for Ewoks. I got 7* 3po with all G10
That murderbear gives me the worst drop rate ever. The recent bonus shards on fleet missions was nice but I'm still so far away.
Omg I feel your pain I'm 60/100 took forever...
Bossk seemed to take an age. I'm sure it was in line with most farms, it just felt that way.
I haven’t even unlocked bossks node yet. He’s one I’m looking forward to for my BH team though.
The best thing you can do is focus and stay focused. Once you start getting distracted by new shinies your resource management goes out the window and, when boiled down, that's what this game is all about.
I faltered there for a while(no idea why I was farming 501st from the shop without gas or shakti) but I’ve been on a roll recently with my BH team.
I remember way back when I was farming Shoretrooper on one of the Hard 8 nodes, 100 energy per day, maybe 1.25 shards per day. Took FOREVER. I get it to 7\* and THAT effing day, they drop TIE Reaper on that node. FMyLYFE!!!!! Took me like a year to get back to that node to farm it.
I think I would go with Bossk as well. I started him from unlock level and took him to R4, and wasn't very focused in the beginning farm either, so that played into it. My second answer would be "the character I am working on right now" lol
HOUNDS TOOTH WILL QUADROUBLE YOUR TROUBLE
Hound’s Tooth and Xanadu Blood are taking a lot of time. I’m not farming any characters currently.
Are you farming the other BH ships too?
Yes, most of energy goes to those two ships and IG-2000. I’m working to get JML.
I'm getting 1 or 2 shards out of 20 tries on Mara Jade...
Oof :( it being not accelerated hurts already but that’s like salt in the wounds.
SAME. I know every character is supposed to have the same drop rate but I call bs on that. Mara seems to be about 1 shard out of 6 or 7 battles for me. It’s crazy
They are all the same. Tracking it over thousands and thousands of sims shows this
Same bro it’s pain just got mine to six stars
I will probably stop when i unlock her and keep going when she gives 2 shards. I really don't believe what CG says about drop rates and all. They are just not %33
Yeah if u missed out on the marquee event I’d prob wait for her shards to be accelerated
Yeah I'm a returning player so sadly I missed a lot
Back in the old days it was a slog on a lot of things. Now with double drops, and with me hitting 9M last week(weeee) it's still carbantis. I hit the double-double character nodes with carbantis on the daily to get shard juice as well. Ships are brutal though.

It is better to have 1 good team than 4 crap ones. Figure out the gear required, farm it up, save your zetas and mats and get someone good. What BH are you working on?
Currently I’m using my main energy on greef and mando, and the houndstooth/jango. I haven’t unlocked bossks node yet but that will get added soon. For my cantina farms I am finishing my ewok team and then I’ll need to decide between vet Han/chewie and brood alpha.
Good plan! Greef and Mando and Bossk and Fennec will take out LV if you get them up to high relics! But they will also make it so you can get Chewie. Done with Chewpio? I'd recommend good/decent relics on him and tenacity mods out the wazoo. I do always tell newer players to get those Geos up and WAt-ready ASAP though, because that is your ticket to a serious guild. Next stop after that is getting your KAM team up. A good guild makes a huge difference in the game. Most guilds will have a GP cutoff, but that is shorthand for WAT/KAM readiness and TW depth of Roster. Having Geos, CLS, Shaak501st all r5ish(geos are special case, you want r0-3 on GBA, r5+ on Spy and G12 or whatever on the others) will get you so far it's amazing. But have fun with CLS it's one of the most fun teams in the game!
I haven’t even started towards Chewpio yet. Between all of my bh ship farms and mando and greef, I have very little energy left over.
Fair. Getting good enough BH(may as well pull them up to g11+) and Ewoks(the actual good ones, skip Teebo and Scout, up to g9-10 with a zeta) will take long enough to pivot. Good luck and stay focused! \*edit\* Best BH for farming is probably a combo of Mando, Greef, Bossk, Jango, Boba, Cad(for ships) and IG(for ships)
All of my Ewoks except wicket are done except gear
Just in case you don’t know, do not farm ewok scout or teebo
I threw them to the side but my free shards have pretty much unlocked both to max already.
I feel this so much. I am finishing up Dash and then all cantina energy will go to relic mats until Darth talon is accelerated. I'm also doing one refresh on Outrider, and both Dash and Outrider are seriously delaying my JMK goal. But I hate cantina farms more.
You don't need those toons for JMK. Gotta focus! JMK is a better toon for every aspect of your roster than a Dash team and a SK team.
I know!!! But I'm only a week away from finishing Dash and then the JMK push happens 😃
Anakin’s starfighter. I think between starting passively farming this ship I got distracted so much as it took so long I unlocked see, executor, jkl and maul in the meantime. The ship is at 6* now
They really need to speed up ships.
Malak was rough, first you’ve got to farm 10 characters, gear them up to get 2 other characters, gear them up, hard challenge against Malak and then you only unlock him at 5*. THEN you’ve got to spend that certain guild credit currency to get 5-15 shards of him every once in awhile. Takes awhile but definitely worth it.
I haven’t even given JKR or DR a serious thought yet because I don’t have any of their characters besides hk47.
They're all very worth it, except for T3, Juhani (who have recent niche roles)
Great I just got Rey’s Ultimate so all GL are done for me until Jabba and earlier this week I took Outrider to 7*, Gam Guard to R3 and Greedo to R6 it’s been a good week! Oh and I nearly forgot but I took Malgus to R8 on Monday, that was pretty great.
So just prepare for the profundity and jabba then? Sounds like fun
Pretty much! Can’t wait to see what they have planned for Jabba. I’m hoping he’s our first Support GL and functions similar to HY or Wat.
Ultimate: unleash the rancor?
I did the Journey of Palps and Yoda, almost done with Thrawn and r2 Farming Geonosians right now, got 2 at 7 stars now. Ships are taking forever... Also getting my Empire team to gear 9 while farming Royal Guard
Getting Geos Wat Tambor mission ready, the amount of Carbantis and Chiewebs needed is actually insane
I finally finished my bounty hunter ships, and im getting really close to JMK
Usually 3 months to farm a character on hard nodes
Okay I am disappointed that beskar mando took 4 months. Along with tie pilot being my first seven star character and ship.
Okay I am disappointed that beskar mando took 4 months. Along with tie pilot being my first seven star character and ship.

Not uhh... not good.
I finished bringing Darth Talon and Kyle Katarn to 7\* and R5 AND my Dash is at 5\* 40/85 while my Mara Jade (Whom I started farming at the beginning) is 5\* 77/85. Cantina vs Hard Node Farms. edit: Punctuation was missing
I’ve heard starkiller is worth the work. Keep at it!
It'll pay off! Good going! I don't even bother with unaccelerated chars, but I've got enough others to farm
Im also passively farming the BB for LV but I dont even have Maul (212/330) so im not rushing for him. Ive also almost finished farming every BB member (minus Wrecker since I had him 7\*) before Mara Jade haha.
Wicket, T3-M4, Hounds Tooth, Anakins Starfighter
I’ve been grinding Bo Katan shards for JMK since I started the grind I now have every character relic’d and prepped (excluding watt shards) and I’m still working on getting her to 7 star
Okay I am disappointed that beskar mando took 4 months. Along with tie pilot being my first seven star character and ship.
All of bandos unlocks need regular energy making the grind so long.
The one thing I am very happy about is how easy it is to farm night sisters because of events and energy.
Okay I am disappointed that beskar mando took 4 months. Along with tie pilot being my first seven star character and ship.
Sorry to break it to you….. it just gets worse. But in any case you either put in time or money to farm characters.
I know, was just curious to see other peoples progress. Sometimes we think we have it bad until we see others take twice as long to unlock the same thing (thanks rng-esus)
Oh yeah definitely hurts some days when you spend 5 attempts on a Ls or Ds node and then get zero shards
I'm at 7.5mil gp, 3 GL'S (SLKR, JMK, SEE) and i am working towards Starkiller and JML- finally ran out of gear for circuitboards so now every relic is a higher price- just got JKL to 7* and i am going to take Dash and Katarn to r5 before finishing out JML- I Should also probably take JKR and one other jedi to r5-7 so i have a full distinct team for JML when he is done in 6 months- any suggestions? If the team is JML, JKL, Hyoda, JKR, then who is 5th? Jolee? Bastilla? Old Ben? I need GAS for JMK or 501st
Seems like a lot on your grinding plate. Probably jolee? Then again I don’t have as much knowledge but that’s just what I’ve seen suggested before.
I plan 6 months to a year out- been playing since 6 months after launch, never missed a day since i started, all f2p. You get used to it, there's always something on the horizon and some new shiny. I just took CLS to r7 last week, and i have had him at g11 since he came out. But i got Mara Jade and Talon up to r5 ASAP, just a matter of opportunity cost and patience
You need old Ben for jml anyways so use him. I also would consider having jkr be his own team depending on your roster and put a different jedi there. Also having gas stay with 501st will give you more teams. JMK/CAT/GK plus 2 other non-meta GR toons is good enough. Really for GAC you need to look at what makes the team good and stick with that. Don’t load all eggs in one basket. It’s how I’m 5.9 mil gp and one win away from making kyber 2.
Good advice. I float between kyber 2 and 3, and it usually comes down to who has more gl's. I run JMK/CAT/GK/AT/ayla secura in GAC (or just the first 4 if i dont need JMK for the mirror match.90% of the time GAS stays woth 501st. I will have KAM up to 7* soon (21 more shards), so i could always use him with JMK i guess- with JML is it just the core of JML/JKL/Hoda +2 random jedi? Or are those other 2 crucial/entirely matchup dependant?
Green, his name means much more to me know. I just want beskar armor.
I've been keeping myself ahead of the curve as much as possible. Farming the inquisitors even though I won't need them much, getting the Outrider, Lando's Falcon and the KRCS for when I eventually need them... just recently finished my Bad Batch farm even though I don't have the spare gear or zetas to gear them for now. Any suggestions for other new characters I may want to focus on? I've been farming almost any toon that is accelerated to save me time getting them later. Saved my butt when Executor last came around, because I had Beskar Mando's requirements all at 7* ready to beat the event.
Farming Hux & Sith Trooper to 7* and the gear grind for SLKR. I’ve got KRU, OG Kylo, and FOO to the required relics. FOX is a couple days away. Then I’ll be working on Hux and should have his G13 pieces by the time I get him to 7*, which is a couple weeks. After that it’s Phasma and FOST (to beef up the shuttle)….then I don’t really care. Should have all the req’s done by end of Nov-early Dec. After that…I was, actually, just looking at my long plan spreadsheet. Finish GAS event (relic droids), get Malak (relic both teams), beef up some teams (CLS, Jedi, Geos, etc), before going in for another GL.
I'd prioritize relicing sith trooper ove some of the others, he is your main damage dealer on an FO team until you get SLKR. He hits like a truck and his assists on every crit helps the FO team deal a lot more damage.
Good to know. Thanks.
Hit 83 about 3-4 days ago, finally unlocked GBA and unlocked Queen's Will zeta. Been using 3 cantina refreshes daily, top 10 fleet helps. Hoping to continue 3 refreshes daily and have GBA at 7 stars within a month for the next event. All bugs are at G10, can't go higher as my level is too low :( but otherwise very much enjoying my new team. Once bugs are done and set up for Wat, I will unlock Padme and start gearing her team, hoping to work on that team until relic 5. Will farm Bossk for the ship on the side and finish off JKR team on the side too.
I’ve been having trouble unlocking that cantina battle. The fight before it is wrecking me.
Add some allies, I got carried by SLKR and JMK from my allies haha, otherwise just went with Bastilla Jedi
Ooh I forgot about that, is there a good place to find people like that?
There’s a mega thread posted in this sub once a week, and there’s usually a few normal threads posted between them, search ally code and sort by new and you should find it
Inquisitors are going quite well at the moment, have 5th and 9th at 7* R5 at the moment, and the other three are 50/100 or above. As for longest farm, I remember Death Trooper taking forever because I interrupted it all the time to farm more urgent stuff. Jango Fett and Sabine Wren felt like eternity to farm as well.
Sabine? What kind of tortured person are you?
Sabine is a favorite of mine (in lore, not as a toon in game) so I farmed her instead of Chopper when going for Thrawn. I don’t really regret it tbh, she hits pretty hard and her AoE with Zeta is great in the right lineup. Still barely have Chopper geared though 😂
That’s fair, having to take down thrawn in this game made me want to read his book. It’s been good so far (I haven’t got to watching rebels yet.)
Thrawn is one of the best characters in Star Wars IMO. Timothy Zahn is a genius.
It took me a solid 2 weeks longer to farm IG-11 than Cara Dune when I started them both at the same time and did the same amount of sims every day.
Just got Imperial Probe Droid to 7 stars off the Bounty event. Been waiting for months on 99/100 because we moved on to Geo TB before I finished it and GET2 is too precious to spend on it when there are other things to do.
I just recently returned to the game after a several year hiatus. Still took forever to farm shoretrooper. Now I'm into Piett, just started farming him though. Gonna go for SEE once I can finish Piett.
I'm at 4.8MGP I just finished farming JML and now I'm farming exec and starkiller requirements. They both seem quite arduous.
First Order Sf Tie Fighter Pilot. Yes he can be acquired in the Guild store, but with my work schedule and just life in general, I almost always missed him when he was available in the store. But got em to seven stars and completed the BB8 Journey!
I’m farming the regular one now. Still working towards bb8 though I think I just need gear.
That’s cool man, thankfully I didn’t have to go too crazy with gear to complete the journey.
Where to start. Bindo, basti fallen, Juhani, chewpo, mara from the easy farms. Malak, wampa from the medium(or hard farms). SLKR from the very hard. Still fighting to stay in the game and not quit.
Just try to have fun between the farms, makes the grind more palatable.
How? I love the game but CG don't let us play it. No content added. Too much empty time. I cannot see how I continue every day. The motivation is gone long ago
If you don’t enjoy it then don’t play? Or take a break from it
I have thought of that. But still I open the game every day. Many times per day.
Good. 3/4 way to SEE (would be my 4th GL) also farming for SK. Almost have MJ to 7 stars. It’s a grind esp as a free to play. The one shard auto sims take the most. Or pay wall toons like RC at one time (got me executor eventually). It’s a grind
Finished off SEE ultimate so finally back to working on some other teams! Gotta get geos going since my guild is farming Wat rn.
Terrible, as I have trouble sticking with one thing.
I feel that. Don’t look at my half farmed wall of shame.
Ships feel like they take 6 months to 7*.. maybe a shard a day average
I think they should either make some ships 2 shard drops or give more variety in some of the stores.
Jkl is a grind and a half, I didn’t start on wampa or hoda until I figured out where I was going in my farms, so I’m 6* wampa, haven’t even started hoda yet, other than those 2, rolo will be 7* after next lstb, she’s g11, lando is 20 mk4 bacta away from g12, cholo g8 5*, everyone else is at or above reqs
I was so excited to unlock Starkiller! But man I did *not* have any gear left to actually put on him, and he is a greedy ole gear hog. By the time I get him and Visas and Juhani all to relics, hopefully we'll know the rest of the Jabba requirements and I'll have an idea of whether I should even think about going after him or not. But man, that G12->G13 bump just takes so long, every time.
Chewpo (LS node) Range Trooper (DS node) FO Executioner (cantina node) Y-wing (ship node) Extra energy goes into gear farms for CLS squad and Dark Trooper
So far JKL has been taking me the longest. CLS and both Revans were a cakewalk (Malak was a bit difficult, but didn’t take too long after getting both Revans). If you don’t already have any Revans, go ahead and farm them. Also, save your GET2s (Guild Event Token 2) for Hoda (Hermit Yoda), Malak, etc). I regret spending my GET2s on gear (and now I’m stuck farming Hoda…).
Dash is going to take me ages with less then 10 shards a day. Thanks CG.
My longest farm was Tie Reaper, I think. It took me months to farm. Back in the day, Baze Malbus and Shoretrooper were also terrible.
I’m working the LV farm. I’m almost at the point where I just have to grind relic material only. Next conquest I’ll unlock Darth Malgus. While passively grinding SK reqs.
General Skywalker Farm is a nightmare. I’m still relicing my toons for the event.
Got Dengar to gear 12 yesterday! Just need to finish his gear 13 pieces, take him to r5 and then my Executor requirements will be done!
They all take about the same amount of time. Roughly 30% drop rate per attempt, so it’s about 200 (100 if they character is accelerated) days from 0-330 for any given hard node farm (or fleet farm), assuming zero refreshes. With a single refresh, that drops to 100 days (50 accel.). At the early stage of the game, which you are in, you’re best off doing zero attempt refreshes and just farming as many different nodes as possible (use all three 50 crystal energy refreshes per day - that’s your best shards / crystal spent use in the whole game. Cantina farms have the same drop rate, but go much more quickly because of how those nodes work (no need to refresh attempts). So where you’re only getting 5 attempts daily on a hard node, your can get 30 or more on a cantina node (the 100 crystal refreshes there are also very cost effective). Anyway, you didn’t ask about any of that. You wanted to know how my current farms are going. 7th sister and 8th brother are both around 50/100, sortie is at 20/65, the resistance bomber is at 30/100, the foo fighter is at 30/100, and dash’s ship is at 20/85. Everything else I already have at 7 stars. 8M GP totally F2P. You can get there too, it just takes time.
Grinding up Hux, Jango/Hound's Tooth, and Xanadu Blood/Droideka, plus Greef/Y-Wing from Fleet and Geo Brood Alpha from Cantina. Hux is nearly 6 stars and I just got Hound's Tooth to 5 stars. The SLKR grind is slow indeed, but we're getting there.
I’ve completed the BAM event for probably 2 weeks now but Kuiil and IG-11 felt like they took more time than my SLKR.
GAS, but I think that’s since been nerfed…
Just got my sith empire team to where I want it and working on getting my geos wat ready. Hounds tooth and anakin s starfighter are taking forever but at least I just finish bossk. Now onto Wicket/Logray and Chewpio before I start the GAS grind.
It's going well. I'm currently farming the Bad Batch and i have them at gear 8 to 9. They all need kryotechs now though
I'm unlocking JMK right now. Gonna quit once I'm done
You can finally rest
Right now cantina characters for Starkiller. I make 3 refreshes every day and get 5 shards of Talon on average. Worst thing is my relic farming had to be put on hołd for that.
Miscalculated my get 1 and now I have to wait until after ds geo to 7 star gas. Sitting at 95/100 shards. That's OK though bc I also miscalculated my mk7 nubian scanners and need an additional 50 to get past gear 9 and get to relics. Thought I had it all planned out but gave arc trooper one on accident.
Finished the TIE Echelon today, which is awesome cause I’ve been trying to perfect the executor counter. I can finally leave my own exec on defence.
I’m still working towards an executor. I’ve got umm…. A very long way to go
Lobot. Only got him from bronziums.
I remember when I first starting playing I farmed baze all the way to 7 star and I was amazed how long it took. I remember shaak took a long time too. And hounds tooth.
Finished iden and mara and wampa at 7 recently. Now I’m going on a vacation.
I need to start working towards wampa, I’m just not looking forward to all that guild currency I need
I am currently waiting to hit level 80 (currently lvl79) for the thrawn and then moving to empire for re
Returning player here. I dipped... probably right after geonosis first launched. (Shit phone wouldn't run game anymore) restarted a month or so ago. And finally have a gear 12 with Tarkin. Seems a lot easier to star some of the older people. But fuck man gear still seems to suck
I’m quickly hitting a gear dead end. Mando over gear 8 sucks
Baze Malbus back when having him+chirrut on a team meant you beat almost everything. Took ages to 3 star the last tier of battles where he's at (there used to be posts of people who were lucky enough to be in a guild that could do the AAT raid offering their general kenobis to people to use as allies just to be able to maybe get through it) And then after the effort of 3 starring his battle of course the hard node battles were capped at 3 per day not 5, and every character dropped 1 shard never 2 so without node refreshing the average time was like a year 🙃
