How long to craft g12+ pieces

If they made it faster..... We would be like " ok ... What next ? " In a month.

yes i am consistently scoring in the 15-25 rank of hSTR, we’ll see what tomorrow brings

The two g12+ salvages (not even the whole piece g12+ drop) are exactly half of the recipe in terms of raid-only gear. That means another finish in the top 3 is all it would take to craft a full g12+ piece. Include the full piece drop and it could start getting close to 1 piece /raid for consistent top 3 finishers.

Now compare that to those finishing in the mid 20s...or tier 6.

CG is on the cusp of ruining the game and trashing guilds in the process. And some of us thought ships 2.0 was bad.

Hate to break it to you but having finished 3'rd I would have loved that reward screenshot. My reward contained minimum g12+ reward and no full G12 and challenge gear which I owned 4.6k of already.

It's a complete joke

Never for my guild

Was hoping we would get a use for the 4K+ Challenge gears collecting dust and growing after each TB, TW and raid. I die little when I see challenge gear waiting in the mail box.

So yes, it’s 2 raids to get a full piece if you finish in the top 10...if you get the same piece. Imagine you want a specific piece to finish a character. It could literally be months before you get the components to drop twice. To fully gear up an arena team if you are finishing 4-10 it’s going to take a minimum of 10 weeks. Absolute best case, if you get the pieces you need. It could very well take 6 months or longer if you aren’t getting the pieces you need.

I almost always finish top 10 in my guild, and I’m dreadinf this farm. I know plenty of people who are stronger than me but are in a top guild, so they finish bottom half consistently. Or people who just can’t always be on to hit the raid. Maybe a year from now they will complete their arena teams.

Honestly it doesn't bother me that it takes a while, or that its powerful. What bugs me is that it requires bottleneck gear from lower tiers

I have no idea, probably years.

I'm top3 HSith, 44 x g12 toons. Each one requires 2 x g12+ pieces.

Even if I'm lucky in consecutive drops, it will still need lower gear tiers which will prevent me to upgrade lower toons.

And the difference from rewards tiers 1-3 and the rest is completely absurd.

I lack words to describe my feelings towards CG.
Actually I have the words but will be banned from the forum again if I use them.

There's only six different g12+ pieces, so....

That's also assuming they drop with equal probability. My 700+ furnaces and <100 nub tech, droid callers, and scanners seems to indicate otherwise. Not only do you need to be running Herioc, but you need to be in the top 20% every time, and get enough of the componets to build a full gear - and then congrats, you've got 1 g12+ slot on one of your 5 arena heroes.
That's why I was a lot more worried about these slots when they announced back in March/Apr that they'd be heroic only. As soon as these details came out I immediately relaxed, as raid RNG is brutal (we don't run hSith yet).
