How to Farm Shard shop Really Fast F2P 1k+ per day

OK i am tired of hearing people whining about the shard shop.

If you want to farm shard shop fast it will require a sacrifice but will pay out in the long run when that new OP character come out or will be hard to farm in a single node.

I actually get between 500 to 1200 shard shop token Per day. More like i earn 1k-1.1k everyday but for this guide let say.

Let me explain how and i am A F2P.

I use my 2 or 3 cantina refresh per days to farm mods or the character that i am currently farming + the 45 daily that we get at 12PM.

With the cantina Token that i get i can get atleast 500 to 800 cantina token from that. With theses tokens i will buy 1 or 2 duplicate of character that i have already maxed out.

meaning 75 or 150 shard shop token from this way since every duplicate shard give 15 token each.

Then if you have a great guild that does alot of Rancor raid and aat or Haat. You can atleast buy 2 or 3 duplicate of character from the guild token even more if you score great. so that's either 150 token or 225 Token.

Now Galactic war you get 1200 galactic wars token with them you can buy 3 duplicate which is 225 extra token.

Now the shipment (optional if you want to farm zeta or gear with shipments token do as you want)

you can buy 3 Character duplicate with 1200 ship token which is 225 SS token (considering that you finish in the top 100)

Now the frequent Normal energy refresh + the automatic slow refresh - Total 300 about energy. ( i actually get atleast 8-10 shards duplicate from theses if you go for the easier character to farm) so 120- 150 shards.

Duel arena Payout

Considering that you finish in the top 200 you will get 600 duel arena token and even more for the top players. With that 600 arena Token and the extra 200 you get from daily activity you can buy 2 character duplicate which is 150 SS shard.

+ future Flash events that are a jackpot when you get an huge number of shards like E.G that 90 Jawa scavenger shard that we had back then and every others events with shards.

Don't forget the bronzium Pack They are your friend in getting Extra shards shop (for me i get ashoka tano and clone sergeant often) the full character which give me a ton of extra shard shops. But most of the time you get single shards which will help.

So in the end At the max amount you will get 1125 Shard shop shard per day. Even more if you are a top player with Huge crystal payout Or less if you do not actually do all of theses.

you even get more if you're getting han solo and gk shards once maxed

From GW, buy duplicates of Ship blueprints. They trade in for 76 tokens rather than 75.

Fleet Arena tokens are very precious, and I would highly advise saving them for Zeta buying instead. Otherwise, everything else is pretty much spot on.

Personally I'm saving my Cantina energy for ship credits and spending all my GW tokens farming all the ships and finishing some characters as well. This is because they have announced a mode that will require you to use your entire ship and character roster.

We will likely see soon which option is better- shard shop or farming a larger roster for the new mode.

Also 2-3 cantina refreshes a day and FTP don't really match.

I get around 600 creds a day, but with guild shop currency I'm still buying Echo, Luke and an occassional full item. Going to start saving them soon.

Fleet shop currency goes to ships, Chirrut, gear and zeta.

it does if you get decent crystal payout and if you save dailys crystal + galactic war crystal +level 85 payout crystal + crystal from daily loggin + crystal from technical difficulty (500) sometimes

I started a shard shop "savings" account.
I use gw to buy datcha shards, i have 600/100. I'm hoping that with this tactic, I'll be able to seven star one of the next toons to rotate into the shop.

If i promoted him to seven stars right now, I'd get 7500 shard currency. It's a pretty penny for sure, but i think i need like ~50k in shard currency to 7* someone... So i still have a ways to go. But with this tactic, I'll at least get there eventually.

ahaha great i have about 32k saved but i stopped for a bit

Diversity is EAs way of making you wanting to pay them money for something. I find it more beneficial to just build up a viable team first and then branch out once I'm not spending everything I get on those 5-7 characters. There are still some events I can't take part in because I don't have the right characters or the right star levels, but oh well, I play 100% free so I don't complaint.

that's the spirit!

@Cloud24 I think there's some good info on your post, with the exception of not doing any proper zeta farming from fleet shipments :-P

It works so long as you're a players that's been playing the game for 18 months+. what about the shard shop effects for newer players? getting gear is harder now more than ever, especially with all new character releases requiring you to farm toons for legendary requirements.

What happens when another thrawn event comes along? ignore chopper from cantina? ezra/hera? zeb from GW etc. did you not spend your cantina refreshes on acquiring CHS shards for TB?

In theory your post makes a lot of sense but in theory I'm not sure how practical it is to use this method for farming gear when every toon release has you farming toons that they want you to farm.

gear in fleet was the best way for newer players to get gear, especially when they weren't on zeta farming at that point.

First, doing 3 cantina refills a day is not so easy. Yeah, I know, I know, everybody in this forum finishes #1 in their arena shard and I'm the only one who finds G12 enemies on top 500. But let's assume everybody tells the truth and we have hundreds of thousands of #1's. Do you completely ignore useful toons like TFP and Royal Guard? Do you not farm toons needed for events, like Hera, Ezra, Old Ben, Captain Han and Kylo? What's the plan? Farm only Geonosian Soldier and get dupe shards of him? Really?

Second, cantina tokens. Same question. There are useful toons there, like QGJ or Boba Fett. There are toons needed for events, like Hoth Scout and now First Order Officer. You can't just forget about them. Same goes with other shipments. Arena shipments have pilots needed for capital ships and useful toons like STHan. Fleet shipments have ships, that you need for fleet challenges (farming ships for zeta challenge is long). The only one where you can eventually farm dupe shards is GW shipments, if you ignore ships and useless toons like the Nightsister.

Third, hard nodes. If you have all the hard-nodes-only toons (lobot, needed for TB, FOST, FOTP, etc) you are definitely not f2p.

So OP, your good intentions are appreciated, but you have forgotten what it's like to be new and f2p.
