Galaxy of Carbantis

So tired of farming carbantis cuffs and guns. Like, discouragingly tired.

The answer to all the problems: money

CG please sell us the characters totally geared

OP, at least everytime you see carbantis in shipments, you are able to buy them. Not all of us have that luxury. I used to buy them regularly but not now that I invest my arena crystals on farming Phoenix. I buy them on fleet shipments every time I see them (also cuffs)

CG should redo some gear pieces, you need carbantis alone, and also you need them as part of other gear pieces and THATS the exhausting part.
There's something that need to change regarding gear.

To the person that spent time doing this..that was a lot of work and I applaud you, thanks:)

The gear bottleneck on this game is a sick joke, honestly. I wouldn't mind the bottleneck so much if raids actually dropped more of what we needed and less of the daily challenges gear. I started long ago to treat gear just like I do my zetas..hoard them and wait to use them on viable characters only. As long as I can finish in the top 20 of arena I never use gear or zetas. Once I am unable to remain competitive is usually when I start using up my resources I've farmed for months. Currently I have enough gear to max out Rex, R2 and a few others but with the constant addition of new characters I have become very reluctant to use up anything that I may need later once the meta changes. Until certain gear pieces and zetas become more easily and quickly farmable I will just continue to hoard for now.

The gear I have been getting for the most part from raids is simply not gear that I need. Gear is (and has been) a huge frustration point for me in this game. The flash events were supposed to help with some of this but in yesterday's events I received the bacta gel and a BLUE piece. Not once did I receive any of the gear I so desperately need.

My suggestion is to quit with the "chances of receiving" garbage - at the very least on these flash events. Either that or let US pick from choices of gear - again, at the very least for these flash events.

Don't even get me started on the drop rates for these salvage pieces (cuffs, carbantis, stun guns). I did four energy refreshes for stun guns one day and received a whopping total of 4 stun gun salvages for me efforts. It is absolutely ridiculous that we cannot select or know for a fact what piece we will receive. Especially when you guys drop stuff like this "level and gear under-performing ROI characters that nobody really wants in the first place" kind of stuff.

Again the answer to this gear bottleneck on ea/CG side are the flash events. Not going to stare a gift horse in the mouth buttttttt 15 or full needs to reappear a bit. Every 4th or 5th time. Or have Phoenix flash and farmer Luke type flash rotate. Full pieces and then 5. 15 pieces and re ups on gear on the 4th day etc.

Eh... Carbs will be Carbs. How else is GAT supposed to get big and strong?

I don't need a Phoenix pack, or a fleet pack, or a mod pack. I just need a Carbanti pack, please:

(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.

Would be interesting to know how many are needed in totals: the swgoh page lists 128 toons, but many of them needs them multiple times for the same gear level, so we are probably around 8k carbantis needed to gear up everyone

I have 500 of them and I have already geared up Kenobi lol

I had 600 last week and I've also geared Kenobi. Then started working on a new squad and filling in some old holes. I have 15 now. And apparently need 550 for GAT. Ugg

@Kriesha Where can you view those total numbers needed?

swgoh.gg, under gear. You can see how many times a certain piece is used, by which character, on which gear level. It also shows if the gear is used by another piece and how many times that piece is needed etc.
eg: https://swgoh.gg/db/gear/108/mk-3-carbanti-sensor-array/

thanks. I never noticed the total amount before -_-

It doesn't work: it's not the total amount of times the piece is used, but only the number of chars using it based on gear level.
If the same piece of gear is used multiple times at the same gear level it's only counted once in that page (consider for example r2 and mk 3 holoprojectors)
