Please Leave Challenge Drops in Raids Rewards

I’m actually in the same boat with the gold balls that come from challenges. They are essential to getting toons from g11 to g12. I used to have a ton of them and didn’t think I’d ever run out. Then I did. Now I have the 50/50 prototypes to build but short on the 60/60 challenges gear and not going to use crystals or precious guild currency on them.

Just waiting out the challenges and farming.

So would you rather use the crystals and currency on the other gear? I can only see this being a net gain, it might just change how things get done.

But in about week of challenges you will have those 60 salvage and it will take the blessing of rng gods or multiple weeks to get the 50 prototype again.

The reason challenge gear should be removed is because it takes away a chance of getting a useful drop for gear that takes multiple weeks or months to get.

And like everyone else unless you go spending crystals on the prototypes you will build up a stock of the salvage and then you will be joining the rest of use in asking for it to be removed when you get it dropped every other raid.

Yes they are. They come on carbanti days.

Components make the prototype. Salvage is salvage. Unless you're buying a vault a couple of times or more a month, I don't see how you could run out of salvage. In which case, you probably wouldn't balk at buying it if you needed it anyway.

So, was bored and saw this thread and decided to chime in with this, it takes over 8100 of the challenge gear to gear every character who needs it. Assuming you get 4 every time you do the challenge that means it would take you over 2 and a half years of doing the challenge which drops
them every single time it was available.
Mind you this number include some fan favourites such as urorru’r’r’r, Tusken raider, CUP, both veterans, multiple jawas and of course most importantly of all rose tico(she uses 240).

8100 is taken from swgoh.gg and unfortunately doesn’t include characters who have it twice in the same gear level so it is probably a fair bit higher such as maybe 9000 or something along those lines, which at most boosts it to just shy of 3 years assuming 9000 are needed.

My alt have 1800 of it, and my main has 60 left:) once you start gearing up toons to G12, you will run out quickly. It takes 2-4 of the crafted mk8 bio to reach G12 for each toons. It will be the new mk3 carbani:) it is not necessarily a whale problem, I am 100% f2p, and I almost run out of it now.

Let's get it correct with pictures

Salavge is what comes on challenge day
Prototype is what you have to find elsewhere.
Then they must be combined

That’s cool. I still need some of the salvage eye balls to finish a piece to bring someone to g12. And I did run out of the challenge gear soooo idk i guess you’re right.

The thing is that to use them fast enough to out pace your haul from challenges you have to be gearing toons pretty fast (which means $$). you gain them fast enough to outpace your usage relatively quickly.
