So I've played for 6-7 months at this point and Luckily I had sth at 7* but I had only begun working Leia (2* when they announced the event and the requirements). So r2d2 luke and sth are done apart for a few pieces of gear. I'm currently farming old Ben and Leia. Ben shards are dropping terribly (I would happily buy a pack) and Leia who I can't push anymore than I already am since I get top rank rewards in arena. Is there going to be some way to actually gain more shards? I'm dumping gear into these toons and spending to do so, I would be upset if I couldn't get my toons to 7* on time because of the lack of ways to gain shards. Even an indication of when the event would start would help me decide whether I'm wasting my time or not. Don't mean to be passive aggressive but being a semi newer player gearing toons for more HAAT teams etc is more of a priority than gearing toons I may or may not have ready on time.

All these toons are easy farms... should easily get them all 7* in time.

Yeah i know I can get old Ben done its Leia I'm mostly worried about since there's a limit as to how much you can buy. She's half way to 5* now but she's working out as 2,3,2,3 (buys) each day rotation. So if the event pops soon then I've no way to get her completed. I know some people who need both sth and Leia, perhaps not the full amount but still both to get to 7* which makes it very tricky. They and I are willing to spend on gear and packs but just don't know if and when that'll happen.

I've been playing since the New Year, and I'm in with a shout of getting the toons farmed ready for Luke, provided the event drops in late August.I think as a noob you should be grateful that you're even potentially there or there abouts for getting the chance to unlock Luke.Don't forget that even if you get everyone to the correct star level you have no idea what gear level you will need.Just remember if you're that desperate, there's always Visa/MasterCard

Like I said gear is no issue, I spend. But I can't buy arena currency to ensure I get a toon to 7* is all I'm saying.

There is high speculation that there will be packs to buy. If you got the monies, they got the shards.

Why do you say it is an easy farm? I m getting 1 Old Ben every 10 sims and Leia is easy but time limited because you can not buy arena coins, you can only win them once a day.
Easy character is Aayla Secura or Anakin with a 1 every 3 sims.

Bad RNG. Average drop rate over time should be 1 in 3.
Bad luck - but those drop rates will almost certainly get better. Stick with it.

Don't you get 2, 3, 3, 3 purchases ? Top arena is 900 and daily activity is 200, so 1100 per day. So, 11 purchases in four days, 55 shards on that period - around 16 days if you're mid-way to 5*. Or around 10 days if you get to purchase an 80-shard package (the usual for reworked toons, lately).

Depends. Sometimes I get 1st, most of the time second but really depends on who's above me. I don't usually get below 3. That's just an average. Never really paid attention too much but it's usually 3 purchases most days give or take. Haha
