I think your estimate is off by a lot. I'm at about 90% completion after less than 2 years play.
Mostly because there's a good rate of return of buying boxes rather than skins initially. I don't know when the break even falls apart, but it's around 50% or something.
@RomillyMacAran
It's a nice result that you collected 90 percent of the skins in two years.
I needed almost 6 years for the all 846 skin.
What method do you follow?
if I were to start over again, I would follow this method:
step 1.
Play Operation campaign as many times as possible for scrap farming (the daily limit is a maximum of two Operation Battlepacks).
step 2.
Get 100 scraps per day (Playing one match for the first time gives 50 scraps. Winning one match for the first time gives 25 scraps. Being featured in the highlights for the first time gives 25 scraps.)
step 3.
Open the Operation battlepack(s).
Sell duplicate skins, puzzle pieces and Squad XP boost.
By Operation Battlepacks, BF1 player can get 120 skins (the possible content of the Operations battlepack is always the same: 20 NOT-exchange exclusive legendary skins + 36 NOT-exchange exclusive distinguished skins + 64 NOT-exchange exclusive special skins).
step 4.
Open the normal battlepack (can be obtained through the battlepack progressbar).
Sell duplicate skins, puzzle pieces and Squad XP boost.
The possible content of the Superior battlepack (ultimate revision) is always the same: 133 NOT-exchange exclusive legendary skins.
The possible content of the Enhanced battlepack (ultimate revision) is always the same: 133 NOT-exchange exclusive legendary skins + 260 NOT-exchange exclusive distinguished skins.
The possible content of the Standard battlepack (ultimate revision) is always the same: 133 NOT-exchange exclusive legendary skins + 260 NOT-exchange exclusive distinguished skins + 372 NOT-exchange exclusive special skins.
step 5.
Buy the exchange exclusive skins in the weekly scrap exchange.
BF1 player can get 81 exchange exclusive skins.
step 6.
Buy the NOT-exchange exclusive SUPER RARE legendary skins for 10000 scrap in the weekly scrap exchange.
BF1 player can get 16 NOT-exchange exclusive SUPER RARE legendary skins for 10000 scrap.
step 7.
Buy Standard battlepacks (ultimate revision) for 200 scrap until you get all the special skins.
Sell duplicate skins, puzzle pieces and Squad XP boost.
step 8.
Buy Enhanced battlepacks (ultimate revision) for 450 scrap until you get all the distinguished skins.
Sell duplicate skins, puzzle pieces and Squad XP boost.
step 9.
Buy Superior battlepacks (ultimate revision) for 900 scrap until you get all the legendary skins.
Sell duplicate skins, puzzle pieces and Squad XP boost.
step 10.
If you haven't collected all 846 skins go back to step 1.
It hurts me to read this. Out of 846 skins, I have collected only 748.
It stops being worthwhile buying battlepacks after you get a certain percentage of the skins - initially, 900 scraps for the best one is a good deal, as you'll get new Legendary skins every time (and they would normally cost you 2000 on the exchange) once you reach a certain number, you're better off saving your scraps for the Exchange. Now the 900 scrap boxes don't actually cost 900, because if you get a dupe, they are only 900 - 270 (630 per).
So - once you're hitting 3 boxes (on average) to get 1 new Legendary skin, you might as well save to buy on the exchange. I think that makes it around 66% completion.
