June is next month.

You’re totally right, i didn’t check swgoh events tbh. It shouldn’t change the numbers so much though.

My maths was for 4 inquisitors only to check Ultra’s claim; if you want the last inquisitor to qualify for the event, as we’ll have about no time to farm him via nodes, you need an extra 22 400 crystals (280x80), so 58 450 crystals total.
Over the course of 86 days, that’s 680 crystals per day. Doable ftp for a kyber guy with a decent fleet, but you can’t farm much more stuff on top of that (if any depending on your fleet arena rank).

Nah, it was lower when you got locked out of top arena crystals for months.

For the 2 new ones not in shipment yet, you can do 3x node refresh sometime to time completion just before event. This way is slightly cheaper to get remaining from shipment.

4/5 should be able to be 7* by the event start, f2p

By f2p do you mean if you hoarded 44,800 crystals for the two who aren’t farmable and did multiple refreshes daily on 2nd and 9th?

Not to mention 5th Brother is ~$300

I’m going to say that’s not exactly f2p.

CG only cares about one thing, and it’s gotten worse and worse - taking money from players. Game enjoyment, competitive levels, fair game (aka no cheating) are not important. Only cash.

I have 82k in crystals saved that I didn’t buy.

I'm gonna paraphrase myself: you need 58 450 crystals total if you start farming inquisitors the moment they were available on hard nodes. Considering you started farming inquisitors the day 2nd sister was farmable, that's about 86 days until Grand inquisitor event. So you need to earn 680 crystals per day to 7* all 5 inquisitors ftp, which is doable for a player in kyber (and probably aurodium too) with a decent spot in fleet arena (Edit: 1st spot in fleet arena+gac in kyberb will net you around 950 crystals per day)

However, it doesn't take into account gear...

I think your analysis is good, and is the main reason that motivates me to give it a try as pure f2p with no crystals hoarded. I didn’t think it was possible so didn’t do any planning before today. With 1k crystals only today, I think it might still be possible. I have first inquisitor at 50/100 and second at 55/85. Will test this out for a pure 0 spending f2p.

If they don't pull it earlier, the earliest date of fifth bro on maps is 6/23. That will be the clutch for you. And there's 2 weeks of shipments period before that?

The 5th one can be done through shipment, it costs 22800 crystals. The other 2 can be done with likely 11k crystals each through farming. So that amount to somewhere 45k crystals. If I drop everything else and start hoarding crystals for the 5th brother, it might be possible.

Good luck ! Don’t forget gear though. https://gear.swgohevents.com/ could help planning for it.

I’ll aim for the second coming, old school style. Don’t want to have my stash depleted by the end of june if they announce something for august ;)

I'm all that, but I don't have a stash besides 15k. So this is not doable for me, good to know. I'll keep farming them at a single refill pace.

Just go for the second pass and be conservative since the 5th inquisitor won't be available at all by the time the event ends
