So, I'll be tracking Cantina energy spent for 30 days. Hopefully this gives us an idea. I'll have a full spreadsheet done and post it after 30 days with everything from Training mats to Training Droids listed. Started yesterday with some single sims and today with some multi. I will only be doing 12 Energy Chewie and 16 Energy Tier 3 Health for the most part. When Scoundrel tags get changed I'll do the Crit Chance ones. If anyone has any other ideas on how to track this / how to do it / I'm wasting my time I'll definitely take your advice! I'll only be listing mod tier / shape / primary on here. I just thought it would be good to put some definitive numbers behind these. So far:08.03.16Cantina - 1 Sim - 0 shardsMod - 1 Sim - 1 Mod - Tier 5 Grey - +.063 OffenseCantina - 1 Sim - 0 shardsCantina - 1 Sim - 0 shards08.04.16Cantina - 3 Sims - 0 ShardsCantina First Refresh - 10 Sims - 4 ShardsMod Second Refresh - 7 Sims - 3 Mods - 1 Tier 5 Blue Square .063% offense / 1 Tier 5 Blue Circle 2.5% Protection / 1 Tier 5 Green Cross .063% OffenseMod - 1 Sim - 1 Mod - 1 Tier 4 Grey Circle +2% protection.Cantina - 1 Sim - 1 ShardMod - 1 Sim - 1 Mod - Tier 5 Green Circle .063% Health

This probably just make me more depressed about the terrible mod distribution system than I already am. This is about worst pay wall other than straight exclusive (and valuable) items for cash.

But I'm assuming you are intentionally farming Chewy and there's really no reason to farm anything other than a T3 mod challenge. Outside of that suggestion, it sounds interesting. Thanks for your efforts. The energy cost per attempt shouldn't really matter as the drop rates are supposed to be the same no matter the cost. The only difference is the amount/quality of the award.

I can tell you from my own tracking that the cantina nodes do drop at a rate of 33% over time. Mods however I have no idea. I don't even do them, they don't drop enough for cost of energy and I can't afford to upgrade them. It's even harder when I am currently not spending money with GW so I am not getting any extra refreshes. I was gonna say, this seems like a lot of work and a lot of data if you're gong to track stats on mods as well. But yeah, you'll need to do it for a while to get some reasonably accurate take-away. Interested to see the results though. Thanks for stepping up, Pac0!

Yep.......tracking EVERYTHING that uses Cantina energy and backing up with screenshots. Spreadsheet will be released after 30 days. It will be CLOSE to 500/500 energy spent on each.

You are so lucky. I went 0-15 on mod sims yesterday. I would kill for 3-7 drop rate
