Guild Shipment Store
Current Priorities:
Okay, let me say that Guild Shipments is a HUGE source of important gear, and switching back and forth between farming gear and farming toons is an art. At your stage in the game, I would definitely focus on toons first, but never ever be afraid of taking a break to buy gear IF the following are true:
1. It's needed for a toon that is extremely high priority for you. If it's not in the top2 toons you're trying to gear, it's probably not worth buying gear here until you get farther along in your farms. If it's not in the top3 toons you're trying to gear, it's DEFINITELY not worth buying until you're further along in character farms.
2. You're buying specific gear that's a good deal in this store and hard to get and/or unavailable in other places. This means that if it's not gear on the top row (g11 finishers) or a Mk5 Droid Caller or Mk5 Fusion Furnace, then it's probably not worth it.
3. If you're extremely time crunched trying to finish up a toon for an event or before a round of GAC starts AND ALSO it's Carbantis or Mk3 Holos or Mk5 Thermal Detonators OR other gear that appears in the same spots as Droid Callers and Fusion Furnaces (the left-two spots on the row below Carbantis & Mk3 Holos), go ahead and by them. But again, this is only for your top 2 (maybe 3) toons and only when extremely time crunched.
other people might have other ways of balancing when to buy gear, but because you ALWAYS need gear, using this store for gear can be a trap. There's no way to finish your farms if you buy all the gear first. But it's not like this is the only method useful to stop yourself from spending so much on gear that you can't buy shards. This is just the balancing method that works for me.
Later, when your farms are done or almost done, you can spend a much larger percent of your income on gear in this store.
After the Ewoks, I'd get these, in this order:
Remember, again, that faction importance can cause you to bump some things up in priority. FOSFTP and FOSFTF could bump up near the top quite quickly if you were working on Finalizer CapShip and you haven't gotten to them yet.
also, I suspect that some of the toons that I would boost only up to 6* will already be 6* by the time you get to them. That's fine. There are other sources for those toons, and you need to be able to spend on gear.
I'd ditch Gamorrean Guard completely, but you might choose to collect it for the same reason as CUP and Ug. Colonel Starck isn't a great toon, by the way, but IIRC he's required for at least one mission, which makes him more of a priority than he would be if he had to earn his way up the list on merit.
Any time after you get all the toons above Young Han Solo, you can choose to switch to a more gear-heavy approach to this store. But it's just as valid to keep plugging most of your income into shards until you're down to Tusken Shaman.
The Jedi, of course, are all valuable in their element, but not for a long, long time. Mainly, when you want them, you want them for extra fights and filling platoons in LightSide GeoTB, and you're a long, long way from LSGTB mattering to your strategy. Until then, there are much better Jedi to work on. (I still think Aayla is tragically underrated, but no matter what you do, you're going to have plenty of Jedi, so you can't justify spending on her too soon).
I stand by what I said. No Director Krennic. He's not near valuable enough even to spend a little bit in a situation where you're trying to finish him off quickly.
Do remember that Sabine, Sun Fac, & Baze should NOT get the bulk of their shards here. In fact, ideally you wouldn't spend on them at all. But they are toons that are important enough that you might justify spending a little on them to rush them at the end. If you bought more than 50 shards of any of these toons from this store, you Definitely did it wrong. And if you bought more than 20 shards of any of these toons from this store you probably did it wrong.
