Farming mods efficiently. Question:

If you're farming for defensive mods then obviously yes it will improve, but otherwise getting that challenge to 3* only improves the frequency that 5* mods show up in the shop.

I plan to farm potency mods. So you are saying that completing tier 3 of defense mod challenge will not be necessary to increase my chances of obtaining rare 5 star potency mods from the challenges?

Correct it won't have any effect on the other challenges at all, just the mod shop.

I understand that, therefore it is the ability to obtain rare mods (gold and purple) that I am specifically asking about.

Do I need to complete tier 3 of defense mod challenge to farm rare potency mods from the challenges with maximum efficency?

Ok thank you drax.

I understand your skepticism, and negativity. But as I am not aware of any plans to release mod packs, and I have reached a point where I cannot progress in the arena without better mods, I must therefore farm.

If you need or think you will need any characters from cantina do them first, and in the meantime unlock a better mod set. Crit chance, crit damage, speed, potency are the best. Make a team for one of those and farm those sets instead.

And in answer to your question, yes tier 3 will give you better, 5* mods than tier 2 which gives you 4*. You should get the 5* mods. If you don't want to do the above (I think you should), then just do tier 3 health mods.

No, I obtained rare mods before I completed tier 3 of defense, and I don't believe I've had any better drop rate since completing it.

Cardiff, my question was pertaining to rarity. After completing the defense mod challenge tier II, I received a notification saying that I will now see rare mods in the mod shop with greater frequency and that after tier III it would be further increased. Drax's reply, if accurate, answers my question.

Yeah he answered it right, sorry I only saw the OP and misunderstood your question
