Approaching galactic conquest as free to play

You are changing your argument now.
You are talking about old units now.

I don't think that they ever specified new units. They were just talking about having a specific unit that is required to finish a feat, where if you don't have that unit, the feat is utterly impossible. And there are feats like that, and sometimes there are enough feats like that that folks on the lower end of Hard Conquest eligibility may find red crate literally impossible.

I think that we as readers just assumed that they were only talking about the tip-of-the-spear units. It was a misperception, not a change in argument.

Specially said new units.

If you ftp - focuse on gold crate. Red crate requires brand new characters or conquest character that are usually gated from ftp(if you not 9+ mill account).

I agree if you can't get the feats you can't get them, again it is situational to every conquest. To say ftp should focus on gold only is nonsense.

So looking at it from another angle, saying you must always focus on red crate, because it is theoretically possibly for anyone, is also horrible advice.
Since we don't know his roster or GP, I still think generally going for gold is the best time/frustration to reward ratio, and as such not bad advice. And the surest crate getting you the new character you can recommend, not knowing anything about OPs resources.

Anyways if OP wants to unlock conquest units he should look for videos, as others mentioned. I prefer kahzgul's guides on Reddit, since I like reading at my own pace. He always lists cheeses and feats that synergize, so really useful to keep the battles to a minimum.
And if you really want to unlock those units, be prepared to spend crystals on refreshes, so it's worthwhile to save crystals beforehand, if your income is limited.

My apologies, Scuba.

I can partially agree with that.
If you can't red you can't red.
However it is roster dependent and can change from conquest to conquest.
Red should not be discounted just because some one is ftp. Needs to be evaluated each cycle/set of conquest.


Now is someone asked how should I approach conquest to reduce time sink I would absolutely say gold all the way, just know if you don't get the new shiny it could impact you down the road, trade offs.

Misread as "if you can't read you can't read

Misred?

Sounds like a t-shirt slogan, also it's infallibly true.
But since both red and gold allow you to get the new shiny, with minor differences in time frame, OP must survey his roster capabilities himself.

Since there is quite a bit more of useful feedback in this thread he/she should be able to determine his best way forward. What's important as well is to keep up to date with datamines and road aheads. It was the reason I went gold crate for Malgus, and CG will probably use conquest to access new GL level content.
