Another Stun Cuff Post

I need 950 just for my toons at their current gear levels. If I just farmed those, it would take me at least 20 weeks to get that many. And don't even get me started on Tenacity Discs.
  • Tenacity discs are only 300 crystals when they appear in shipments. An easy purchase even for F2P. I buy them almost every time they appear, and also have plenty left over so I donate generously to people requesting in guild. The cost per energy/drop rates, etc, 300 is very cheap for a full disc.

    Stun Cuffs suck.
  • i need around 4500 but trash toons like nightsisters ask a lot so its really like 15 full cuffs

    Tenacity discs are holoprojectors? They often appear for credits in sets of 3, that helps too. Pick them up whenever they are available for credits.


    I do that. They don't suck as bad to farm as stun cuffs, but I do need a lot of them.
  • i only have 2 that i desperately need, 1 to take 86 to g11 and one to take tie to g11 also. gonna habve to spend 20 for them

    Another deserved one. The much more the better. Keep em coming.

    I don't just want more stun cuffs I want like 500 right now and then the rate to acquire to be like doubled? Tripled? Pentupled?

    I imagine this would happen when g12 comes!

    @V1p3rdyn4sty

    Pretty sound advice even for f2p.

    That's what I'll probly do (buy Zeta). No brainer for whales to buy Zeta. I'll do it just until I get 1 Zeta so I can use it for one team and keep making my 500 crystals. I'm not sure but I'm actually thinking about maul lead, could be pure HELL to face. Could be easy. Idk. Hard to think it through fully really but think it could be great I just want to be able to beat every team on offence consistently so I can get my 500 every day.

    However with buying gear, gear is the wall in the game, and the thing that stops your progression. Even though the cost of the gear is really a lot, gear is such a wall I'd say it's probly actually worth it after you've done the challenge. You don't need more credits, you don't need more shards, all that matters is gear more gear=more characters.

    I'm getting quite a lot from fleet shipments. 5 cuffs costs about 600 currency I think. Helps out a bit.


    Not a good idea. You're the first person I've heard of buying regular gear in there. I'd stick to ship shards until you have zetas on farm. Then buy zetas with that currency.


    I'm buying gear. No Droids require zetas except K2SO so it's not a priority. I basically just been farming gear/characters from ship shipments and ships from GW. The only ship I'm farming is the slave i

    Will it affect my ability to farm gear through raids?


    Actually it will quite a lot. You'll get way higher scores and a lot more of the new gear if you have Zetad abilities. Crystals from arena are also the most important thing to get on a daily basis and help you in every aspect of the game.

    Zetas are very powerful, and it takes a long time to get them. it's important to start getting them as soon as you can, so you'll have more. The gear you don't get from fleet shipments, you'll make up for in crystals if you can get your rank high.

    It's not about a Zeta meta or anything, it will just hugely improve all of your characters, just like gear. The abilities are amazing

    You don't need to work on the ships forever, you don't need to spend as many tokens as you will to 7* the ones you want. you can do most of it through GW at no cost of gear, and the rest through fleet. It's not that bad wasting those tokens at the end of the day even if you were to use none of the ships ever again, especially when you split it between the two shops.

    I'm sure there are some ships which could be useful to you as well or ones you have pilots geared for already. Fives, fotp, both wiggs ships, slave 1 (although very slow farm).

    I'd suggest getting on it now. In terms of being able to accumulate resources in the long term i think getting zeros now over spending fleet currency on gear will help you
  • Their solution to this problem was to put them in ship shipments. You can argue you need other things in there but putting toons in the guild store alieviated much of the situation. I farm gear and ships 50/50 from the store accepting I won't be top 10 in ship arena at the cost of getting additional gear.

    TBH I wish they would just replace the TAC gear challenge with a Stun Cuff daily challenge. I don't need 99% of the gear the TAC challenge drops and I will always and forever need stun cuffs. I need 650 right now and I haven't even really seriously started working on my Jawas.

    But, given that we just got given "all the raid-only gear from the tank raid" and it didn't include the Mk10 TaggeCo Holo Lens Salvage that only drops from the tank raid, I'm...not really feeling right now like the devs have a really great handle on the gear situation people are facing. I think we're all gonna grinding stun cuffs for a long, long time.
