Moff Gideon

I dont imagine there are many people who's only limitation on being able to relic a character is signal data.

Yeah, the thing is that Signal data really isn't much of a limitation at all for me. I relic about 1 new g12 toon per week, and I can get about the right amount of signal data to take them as high as I want (usually r5) within that week. So if I started getting g12 gear a lot faster, then signal data would be a limitation. But right now, it's not (provided I spend 200 crystals a day on farming, but that's baked into my regular budget & I don't mind).

So what happens for me is that for the next 3-4 weeks, signal data is halted or massively slowed (however I want to do it) and so during that time signal data becomes a limitation when it wasn't one before.

3 weeks of 3 refreshes / day seems like the route I might want. It slows my accumulation of crystals by 100/day more than normal (which I wouldn't worry about except that I just spent my stash & only have 4k on hand right now), but since my primary use for those crystals is purchasing Kyrotech, and since I don't need kyrotech if I'm not doing g12 finishers, and since g12 finishers don't help too much if your toons are going to be stuck at r0, I can probably put things on hold for 3 weeks and just not spend any crystals on Kyros & I'll be more or less fine.

It's never fun to delay your GL quest by 3 weeks, but I'm not all that close to JML right now, and Gideon is a worthy toon.

People who are happy with this, must have thousands of signal data stockpiled. Either that, or they all finish first in both arenas every day, and can waste crystals on refreshes. I can't think of any other reasonable explanation when every valuable toon requires 15 relic toons.

Gideon is temporary (meaning you can "finish" farming). So liking this because you can farm multiple characters for a period of time and then go back to signal data, makes sense.

If you think every valuable toon requires 15 relic toons, that may be a hint as to where your misunderstanding is starting.

What do you mean temporary?

I think they have double drops on him. The drop rates for me are the same as the year old characters. I can’t believe how fast I’ve been farming him the past 48 hours.

Nah, you're just lucky

Also, I think it's ok on farming on cantina, I mean, I use 1-3 refresh, depending on what I need the most (signal data or gear) to farm signal data on cantina, and all the energy you get by just waiting and the daily energy reward it's used on a character/ship, in this case, I'm spending like 120-180 energy on Ebon Hawk farm, and my refreshes on signal data

I went 0/10. Looks like they're back to selective drop rates again.

Try Monday morning. 2 sims at a time.

Farm him. You are seriously nuts if you don't.

Screenshot or it didn't happen. CG_TVF gets 80%+ drop rates. Stop the cap.

I am also at 25/85. So what is the best squad to use him in?

Honeatly simming the battle for Gideon is the only thing making me stay up till 12 o clock every night, been getting 20 shards of him every night with just 3 refreshes
I will gladly skip on relic farms if we get more toons added to cantina battles. Such a great feeling

20/85, u're luckier. Though this time they did us a significant favor by putting it to a 10 node. I also want more stuff to come from cantina, but on 16 energy nodes, this'll go much slower and become costlier.

29/85. I took TVF's luck.

Most toons don't need r5...
