I don't need a Phoenix pack, or a fleet pack, or a mod pack. I just need a Carbanti pack, please:https://swgoh.gg/db/gear/108/mk-3-carbanti-sensor-array/(A stun cuff pack wouldn't hurt either.)Just bundle 10 of these units up and sell them, save us the misery of waiting for them to show up in shipments.

If the STR challenge was sometimes giving 7 of them instead of 3, it wouldn't be so bad.

Lol 3 is so common in challenges, I decided to run a tier lower today to see if it had any impact, it did, got a couple of 2's, ughh

First world problems :)10x carbs better come with a steep discount, or that's almost a vault worth?But yeah, carbs are the new guns/cuffs

Gear grind starts with furnaces, then cuffs, then carbantis. And since carbs are the last ones I agree. I'd buy packs all day. I need 300+ full carbs right now. Not happy bout that.

I too really dislike the amount of carbanti required for gearing currently. The mega pack wouldn't do much for me though.

@BoxandthefuzzForever actually it seems that they DECREASED the overall average drop rate of MK3 carbanti from the challenges since the QoL update. It seems that they made it look like you can now get 7 (but nobody ever does) while significantly increasing the chance of getting only 3 or 4.

Before QoL update it was almost guaranteed that you would get 5 carbanti every challenge at the top level. Now it is usually 3 or 4. I am pretty certain this is real as many other people have commented on here about the same thing.

If this is correct then it means from 3 challenge days per week we are getting only one full item compared to 1.5 per week pre QoL update.

That's kind of what I was referring to but maybe didn't word it as eloquently. I realise 7 is possible but I've never seen more than 5 which is pretty ridiculous considering how long ago the QOL update was. Cut the RNG and just make it an even 5 per drop.

Exactly, it still takes 2 days of challenges to make 1 full Carbanti. So every week you could farm 1.5 Carbantis. Even at 5 per drop that's not many. When a character like GK needs 9. It will take 6 weeks just to farm them.

You can easy get 3

Thrawn needs, what, 7 carbantis?

100's of pieces of gear. *only uses carbantis*

I counted 11, but that included the ones you would need for stun guns aswell

I believe it's actually 8 total. And 2 of those are between gear 11 and 12. So it only takes 6 to actually get to gear 11.

So - NP, ~3 Carbantis x 5 is 15. 3 times a week is 45. That's just 365 weeks!

(Yeah, I know you can farm them elsewise, they're in "raid" gear, and you pick a few up for events.... but stilll)

I have a maxed out Han Solo. I have GK, though not maxed. Been doing raids a long time, and NEVER got a single carbanti. I get Mk7 scanners, MkV furnaces and Nubian disks aplenty (and that's fine...especially the furnaces which every toon will need at some point). But other than the occasional stun cuff, thermal detonator or the blessedly rare MkV droid caller, that's it. Never a single carbanti, ever.

I used to get them all the time. Back than raid gear was scarse and i hated getting carbanti's. Now the mk4 carbanti is my most hated reward, mainly because at first sight it looks like a mk3 :p

Agreed. While it's nice they seem to be shifting away from cuffs and to something that is theoretically easy to obtain, requiring so many while giving out so few (and honestly they seem to have one of the worse farming drop rates in the game) is very discouraging.

Their answer to gear bottleneck= flash events. It wouldn't be so bad if we had a chance for that gear more often. Phoenix flash event is throughout the month. Again there very little tweaks they could do to help the bottleneck. Take challenge gear out of rewards. I'm good on the mk iv guns. Add a full gun into rancor rewards. Have every 4th flash event reup on gear.

and while they're at it, those mk4 guns need to be removed from Shipments entirely -- other than when people with itchy trigger fingers are rubed into mistakenly buying them thinking they're mk5, WHO actually buys these?

This! While it sucks needing so much of any gear, I'm just glad we don't need 8 Droid callers, cuffs or guns instead. With the huge influx of new heroes, I hope they buffs drop rates for everything however.
