Getting gear with crystals or with refreshes?

Title pretty much sums it up. I usually get a little under 150 crystals a day from Arena, GW, and Daily's. I just don't know whether I should continue my current route (roughly 1 cantina refresh a day and 1 regular energy refresh a day), or to stop refreshing and buy all my furnaces/stun cuffs from shipments

  • I used to spend solely on energy refreshes but for the past weeks have started to save to buy gear from shipments primarily and imo it has worked much better for me. F2p here.

    • 60 Crystals from completing all Dailies.
    • If you are 85 you get a price box that can give 5-10-50-100 crystals (most of the time 5-10, it probably averages at 14, 15 overall)
    • 25 from completing Galactic War. (5-5-5-10)
    • 300 Crystals from Daily Log in over a month (~10/Day)

    Overall without even entering Arena if you complete Daily stuff you get at least 95 Crystals / Day in the long run (110'ish if you are 85)
    I don't know your Arena Rank but 150 seemed a little too few to me, you are probably getting more than you realize.
    Either way, refreshing Normal and Cantina Energy gives you a lot in the long run, I advice players in my Guild to refresh them depending on their Crystal gains, and to gather any and all other Crystal to buy Raid only gear from Shipments.
    For example: If someone gains 190-200 per day, 1 Cantina + 1 normal energy refresh and gather the 40-50 for buying Raid only gear from Shipments. (Most often than not that 40-50 extra becomes much more due to Daily Login rewards and extra 50-100 crystal drops from 85 Price Box and it really adds up to 1400 easily) You just need to be patient.
    Also if you watch the meta carefully beforehand, and make the right choices before it even happens, you can easily increase your Arena Ranking.
    F2P here and ranking top 1-2 everyday on Arena (with an occasional 4-5 depending on luck), against 7* Jyn/Chaze/Cassian whales. So yeah, it's indeed possible, with a little bit of luck and smart play.
  • Depends.

    If you're not 85 then buy the refreshes.
    If you are 85 then you get better value with a direct purchase with crystals.

    Yeah i wasn't really sure how many I get from everything else in the game. I'm usually around 300 in my arena so I get 60+25+10+60. The issue is that I took a long break from the game for about 4 months and started playing again a couple months ago. I'm level 80 and can hang in the 300 area of my arena but my squads power is much less than the people around me (I have 33k most people are close to 40k). It's gonna be hard for me to rank up in arena

    Like others, I would advise you to level up to 85 and focus on your Arena Squad. If you don't need a specific Cantina character, normal energy is better for you as you'll be farming for gear rather than a specific shard. When you hit 85, energy is less valued other than getting 600 bank coins and raid gear is more accessible via shipments. Even if I rank top 5 in Heroic AAT, I rarely get the gear I need/want.
