Using energy for battles has been the go to strat but im 12 days away from level 85 regardless of energy refreshes. I have done my 2 energy refreshes pretty religously up to this point but im wondering if that 100 crystals would be better suited just buying the gear outright after a week or two of saving. What are your guys thoughts on it? Also how do you feel about cantina energy refreshes? I have been doing those as well. Im completely free to play and have just recently started taking 1st in my shard.
Being a f2p users means you maximize what little resources you have. Buying anything that is not guaranteed is a gamble, so I would discourage you from buying any gear packs or mod packs.
It's always profitable to farm gear through battles, you will need a crapton of blue gear anyway (droid callers, power cells, thermal detonators), there is no shortcut here. In terms of saving crystals for gear in shipments - sure it's worth it, but only if you're bottlenecked. MK5 furnaces come to mind as only ones worth saving for. Rest is situational.
Best advice I can give out - farm shards and blue gear using energy refills. Get purple/pink gear from various shipments or guild donations, using ingame currency. Alternatively - choose nodes with multiple usefull gear pieces on it.
