Never thought this would happen but it did. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea for them to remove them from raids. 15-20 every 3 days from challenges isn’t exactly a great way to stock pile these things, especially at 60 pcs a pop. And the droprates on nodes suck. CG should probably offer better alternatives to farming these considering how widely used they are.

I've still got 2400... guess I'm 40 g12s behind!

I currently have 870 of the salvage and 76 of the prototypes. I have never farmed salvage and actively purchase prototypes using guild currency and shard shop currency (no crystals or cash) any time they’re in the shop. Sometimes I even use energy to farm prototypes.Maybe you have to slow down on purchasing prototypes with crystals so that the salvage doesn’t fall behind.If you're actively bringing squads to G12 to use in GA or TB, you're going to run out of the salvage eventually. I always thought this was "lol whale problems" too, until one day I just suddenly ran out because I had assumed that like the medpacs and data pads, I'd just always have enough of the salvage half. Pretty much every character (maybe literally every character?) uses multiple biotechs, either as their own piece or to craft the gold stun guns. Unless you do nothing but hoard for squad arena meta teams, the challenges just can't keep up.

They could double ALL the rewards in this game and I don't think it would be enough for most people to make a dent in some of their backlog of gearing up characters.

Several toons need more than one eyeball going from g11-g12, and most of them also need a super stun gun, which also comprises an eyeball. I have 4 separatists left to take to g12. They need 7 gold eyeballs between them to get there. I am 4 mil GP. When I say I understand the pain, I do. I am trying to understand how one burns through that much salvage unless you are exclusively buying gold eyeballs with crystals every other day and putting them on every single character that raises a hand. Is Sabine really worth the investment of 5 Gold Eyes over someone that can unlock Padme or compete in the Geo DSTB? That’s all I am asking.

@Ultra are you sure? According to this it's 1500 (500 per 20).

That's why the full piece for 2000 is a deal, because it would cost 1500 + 750 = 2250 to buy 50 and 60 separately.

its been a long time since I’ve seen a full piece so I’m going to go with the excel sheet and correct myself to 1500
