Сurrency of the Colosseum (MK V Cresh Ability Module)

There are 2 issues.

One has been caused by a bug in the update, changing the materials required for each Era Level. That looks like something CG will try to fix. 

The other is the same as it was with Spider Maul. 4 star unlocks have less of one material than needed for all era units plus the legendary. 5 star unlocks have plenty and those who don’t unlock also have plenty. 

Anyone who is short of materials outwith these 2 issues hasn’t collected all the coliseum rewards from t1-7. 

Looks like I'm just muddying the water.

Harvestmouse back out of the room and quietly shuts the door behind it.

no, it is not. i do not have cassian unlocked and still have the problem. their explanation has nothing to do with what some people are experiencing.

Do you really expect me to read more than 4 posts?!

OK, skimmed through it.....it's a 4 star thing?  3 and 5 star'ers are cool potato?

I did explain why some are having the issue. 

I've not spent a crystal on Eras yet.  I even had a month off during the first one!  And I've reached level 65 for every character.  I'm not sure why some of you are having these issues.

I must admit, I did think I'd run out of mats between 55-60 and 60-65, but it ended up not being the case.

After the update, everything became even crazier) These are the materials needed to level up a character from level 52 to 65.

I am in

similar situation. Prior to the update I had enough material to take most to go from l67 to l77. But now can only take one to l69. As material requirements have changed to MkIII Esk Ability Module. Which is not a reward in coliseum. Hoping this covers it https://forums.ea.com/blog/swgoh-game-info-hub-en/update-from-earlier-known-issue-messaging/13369934

there are not enough mats even if you do not use any on cassian. i am f2p and did not get more than 3* on anyone, so cassian was not a possibility, and yet i was surprised to find that i could not max all of them at lvl65 (=gear12). i'm just short 1 level on 1 character, so it's not the greatest tragedy of all times, but i was under the impression that f2players could max everyone at 65. i could last time around.

i maxed the episode track and i am at stage7 in all fights, so getting these mats without spending is no longer possible possible.

ps: the coliseum fight is buggy as well after the patch. i assume that killing one of the dryax and almost killing the other is more than 27% damage? both offense and defense of the boss seem way off. i could never get close to killing one in stage7 before the patch. there's also a loop at the end if the droid is the last man standing, since he cannot die at that point (cause of weirdly low damage from the boss), but since he only does 1 or 2 damage himself with each hit i didn't want to wait for a few hours to check if the stage could be beaten that way. it probably could, so... very buggy.

DarjeloSalas​  is exactly correct. Legendary at 4 stars gives you some additional salvage but not enough to get over that one particular hurdle. Getting the legendary to 5* rewards more salvage that gets you over that hurdle. 

Unfortunately for most people (including me the first time round), you take your legendary up past the point where they use this rare salvage before other toons come out, so you're not even aware that there's a bottleneck and don't get to make your own, educated choices about how to navigate it. 

The good AND bad news is that the next era will use a new system, and legendary gear rewards may create totally new and different problems. So we can't plan for next era based on what we've learned in this one, but we can always hope that next era won't create this kind of stupid hurdle. That wouldn't be naive, would it?
