I usually end up 201-500 or 500-1000.
That only ends up with 500 or 600 arena credits + 100 from finishing 3 arena battles.

Are you saying that I can reset the daily counter with crystals?

Don't reset the timer. Reset the number of chances for battles.

You have to finish higher ranks to be able to get more arena tokens. So if u are going to buy crystals u can use those for more energy refreshes farming gear/cantina refreshes for ability mats and shards.

Do the energy 50 50 100 100 refreshes and if u have more crystals the 200 ones as well. For cantina do 100, and 200 refreshes.

Yea but you would only be able to pull 2 a day for the last three of every four days

True.
So let me say it this way
100-500 rank in arena and you can get close to 10 shards a day. If you wanna stay cheap this is the way to go. If you can get higher for free great do it but don't waste crystals on it. The crystal return is only worth it in the higher ranks.

When I started it was easy to stay at or above 200 for free. So getting 10 sid shards a day.

As time progressed it is harder to stay at the higher levels for free. So do it now before the server matures.

What happened to being f2p? Don't give in!

Still f2p only. Never giving in ;)

@Reyia - never going whale :)
Someone is giving me a $50 iTunes gift card. So I was wondering if I should be adding funds to my iTunes account and use that for picking up $19.99 crystals pack.

I will never pay a dime out of my pocket for buying anything in this game.

Buy the subscriptions pack. If you can. Keeps you from being tempted by the damn chromium packs.

What's a subscription pack?

It is $10.99 and gives you 100 crystals everyday for 21 days. I think you have to have spent at least $5 to get it does up though. If it is in the store by the dark side starter pack then the subscription should show up.

After u spent at least $4.99, a new subscription option appears in the crystals tab.

Instead of a lump sum like bags of crystals it's a more gradual way to receive crystals.

Yours will be cheaper as I'm paying in Australian $.

You will get 100 crystals immediately then 100 each day.
