Gear crunch seems fine to me. Took me less than a week to farm R2 from G11 to G12, with no pieces on him. Just got to stay focused.

How much did you spend? And what is your strategy?

I lay down the numbers for you. If we dismiss raid gear, R2 needs the following to bottlneck gear from G11 to G12:
- 100 carbantis (2800 crystals or 6 days of farming with 2x50 refreshes)
- 100 mk5 guns (2500 crystals or 8 days of farming with 2x50 refeshes)
- 150 G11 purples gear (drop rate at 15%-20% at best, so around 15 days at best with 2x50 refeshes). Two of pieces cost together 2000 crystals and the last one need to be farmed.

So overall, you have a insta level of 7300 crystal cost of farmable gear (add 2800 for raid pieces). Or about 1 month and 3k crystals.

So, tell us how you spend?

I haven't spent at all. Thought that was the point. I had like 50 carb salvage saved up. Took a week to get another 50. Used arena crystals to buy stun gun salvage. Farmed the rest with some refreshes.

It's nowhere near as difficult as you make it seem. If you put as much effort into farming gear, as you did trying to make it seem impossible, you'd be as close as I am to a G12 toon.

The only person putting up this gear wall for you, is you.

So you're close to gear 12 or you have R2 at gear 12? You might be the only person playing this game, past or present, that is oblivious to the gear wall. Congratulations, you're an oddity.

I'm like 30 stun gun salavge from G12. He will be done tomorrow if salvage pops in shipments.

I started farming R2s G12 gear on monday or tuesday. In that time I've also completed some of those gold balls for Raid Han. They are a pain to farm, but very cheap in shipments. If I hadn't bought those, R2 would already be done.
