Panic Farming :) double drops?

Thrawn first came out 4 months ago....so everyone has known that Phoenix was needed since then. So I doubt there will be much "help" to get him. If someone has been playing the game less than 4 months, they probably shouldn't be able to get Thrawn on their first try anyway....earn your stripes like the rest of us.

Why not? They should. What is point of not having what I want? Maybe it is your way, not mine. When I want something I always have that. It is always like this. So no doubt about that. But I hoped for some buff from devs. It is very normal attitude.

Even if they gave you double drops, there's still that pesky G7 that you need to get by for Phoenix, where they all need roughly the same gear (mk3 holos, mk3 cabs, mk8 taggeco). Seems the devs got a bit bored doing all 6 and just copy-pasted their gear slots :)
That's the main barrier to anyone trying to get 6-7* Thrawn.

I have them all g8. Very easy thing. G9 needs some time but for Ezra and Sabine I am ready. But I can understand that it can be a challange. I am in good guild with support. I was doing in the same time gear for my empire team. Got 3 toons to g10. So this can be done. Thanks

Just started a few weeks ago..most of them are 5 star, only two need a lot more shards. Been farming them a week. Not enough time

Week? I am doing for 5 weeks. 3 7 stars, two are 6. It is hard to do it from zero.

Yea it is hard, I had to push to get a 5 Star bb8, didn’t even get EP when he was out. Rough starting in this game. I am sure they will put something in the shop. At least I hope they do.

Congrats on the G8, I wouldn't have expected that from someone playing as long as you have been. It's certainly doable if you're focusing on Phoenix, but as everyone needs mk3 cabs both in and outside of Phoenix, most players simply haven't prioritized them.

Re-reading some of your posts: if you're short on Sabine shards, double drops won't help much, as you'd get 5 refreshes a day on her single hard node and 90 is a lot of shards to get in that short of a time period (even from a double drop node). You'd be looking at about 2-4 per refresh. You might be able to supplement from Guild if she appears there, but overall you'll be dropping a lot of crystals on refreshes. The alternative is to bench Sabine and use the other 5, and that's not a bad alternative since she's the one people often bench anyway.
Double drops are pretty rare occurrences, and the only reason we got them the first time is because Phoenix was released to farm very close to the Thrawn event.
Good luck!

I guess we can add Phantom II and Ghost to our panic farming list.

OMG OMG OMG

Yes

I'm guessing they'll push phoenix packs when the event actually starts, doubt the double drops though.

Good luck.

Thx. And Good luck
