FTP players...

The funny answers I keep seeing in response to your post is
get a good guild with Rancor on farm.
Be number 1 in fleet and arena and you get the crystals in a day to get what you need from Crystal store.
I’ve spent no money on this game but bought crystals a few times.
You just started, oh well, wait 2 years then you can post here about it
You must be daft not to have those on farm
Just use ZCLS to farm Rancor - said to a new 85 who was not 85 for the CLS event

Yeah guns are definitely the worst right now (since they didn't get added to guild store with cuffs), but it's all about prioritizing. I bought some from shipments (with freebie crystals) to get my essential, arena, legendary toons to g12. Now I just slowly grind them out. I doubt I'll ever get all of them, but that isn't really the goal. It's a collectors game, if there was nothing left to collect that'd be no fun.

How To "Power-Game" as a F2P in SWGOH

1. Throw away your first account after playing 2-4 weeks and learning the game mechanics.
2. Start fresh, ideally after having restarted a few times to get an optimal first free chromium toon and after having hoarded some energy & challenge reward items.
3. Through careful choice of toons farmed, be capable of taking top 50 squad arena payout daily. By mid/late game, this should improve to taking top 20 squad arena payout daily. By endgame, this improves to being able to take top 1-2 payout daily. Ditto for fleet.
4. With a daily gem income of 800+, consolidate the power of your squad and fleet arena toons; then expand to gear up Rancor and hAAT squads (to take top guild payouts in those events).
5. Rapidly power up other toons on demand, and enjoy the rest of the game.

I did a half-assed job at all of the above, but eventually got to top payouts after 10 months of play. (After which, I could buy a full stun gun every 2 days.) Friends and guildmates that optimized their start, were already getting top payouts at the 6 month mark; they're now well over 2M GP.

That's how it can be done.

I dont know how you guys do it...just looking over my roster and i need 25 full stun guns at the moment. A shard mate needs 90. Lol that is absurd. If you are farming them that would take 1+ years. I dont know how you can stand to wait that long to enjoy this game fully.

While i hardly spend money anymore (mostly due to getting tired of the same shaningans), i cant imagine how far back i would be in this game if i didnt throw down some money.

I just dont know how any FTP player does it.

One year is 182 Rancor raids, where you always have the chance to get a full craft. Salvages come from this source as well.
Additionally there are several other events that can or will, depending on which event it is, grant you more salvages.

Don't worry, carbanti are the real pita

winning is not the only fun thing tbh

Im not gonna spend on this game as its just not as good as other mobile games I play. But I play so I can collect all characters. just as long as I can unlock everything Im not bothered with "winning" since freemium games are essentially pay to win

Perhaps, but those guys must have had really optimal conditions. I had top payout for 2 weeks and was quicly overrun by ptp players. Plus, this scenario probably doesn't represent the majority.

While i agree crb are a pita, carbs are at least everywhere now plus in challenges. Guns (And cuffs) are practically no where.

Fairly easy - hit the high arena spots because buying things like Guns is far easier than waiting for them to drop from a raid.

Also stop looking at your entire roster, look at the heroes you currently need and gear them.

FTP is possible, (do you remember time travel is also possible?l) but spending money always helps

I thought this thread was about F2P showing off their 7* vets
