How much value is there in Bounty Hunter Double Drops

So the new game update message included the following:


Added limited time bonus drops to Light and Dark side hard nodes for Bounty Hunters (Starting 9/22)


But unless I am missing something, there is exactly 3 hard light/dark side nodes that have a bounty hunter, and 2 of them are Boba Fett, so there really isn't going to be that many BH's that have double drops. Since most established players already have Boba at 7*, that means we get 1 node of Bossk. Doesn't really seem like a huge benefit.

Does that mean we should expect more BH's in hard nodes before 9/22?

    It is not double drops. It is bonus shards when you sim any hard node much like that event we had when you could get Nihilus, Holdo, Chirrut, Gar Saxon etc shards when you sim hard nodes. At least that is how I got it
    Yeah I'm thinking its the same thing. Would suck of Embo/Aurra shards are in LS nodes



    I'm more interested in extra bossk or dengar shards. Only need 100 bossk and 60 more dengar to 7 star. With focus I'll definitely be able to get dengar with focus and will have 5 7 star bhs but having bossk would probably be helpful. He is much better than cad bane after all. I'm not going to get enough embo or aura shards to use them for awhile anyway so they are less useful.

    I don't think anybody would. But it always helps to get Embo/Aurra shards while you are already farming your Bastilal / Jolee / Bossk / Visas / whoever it is so that when they are F2P the grind is not as brutal

    Hope you get those 5 BH
  • Bossk and Dengar are in weekly shipments. That's 20 if you can spare the crystal
  • I need another 27-30 for Bossk to 6 star. I have all other BH's at 7 star, Gear 9/10. Here's hoping that'll be enough, I'll wait till the first batch of people who try to do the event report.
  • Anything that speeds up the Bossk grind is fine with me. I think I'm 120 away from finishing him off.

    I'll at least get dengar. I get enough crystals from the arenas to easily refresh the guild store if it comes down to the wire. And I already have over 2000 of the 5400 guild currency I'll need. We have a raid every day or so so the currency won't be an issue.

    I'm also refreshing bossk's node 2 or 3 times daily and with possible bonus shards, I'll probably be good there too. The store is guaranteed shards but more expensive.

    I figure we have a week before the event starts, and it'll probably run a week so about two weeks to finish them off.

    Pretty sure they will be. The recent LS characters went to DS nodes.

    Need some new LS nodes anyway. Ive been forced to farm Rose (Who happens to be pretty good).
  • double drops is different than bonus drops. Any node you spend energy will prolly have a chance to drop shards.
  • Double drops would be fine as well as long as they made the stores drop double for the ones found there.

    The only issue with the bonus drops is it may be difficult to get bonus shards of the bhs you actually need. There are 9 of them. I'm assuming jango won't be included. Out of those 9, 4 are already 7 star and 3 aren't eben close. So there are really only two that I need. With double drops you can focus more easily on the one or two bhs you need.

    Maybe they'll at least split it up so you can pick a node and know which bonus bh you are likely to get.
