Potency, Tenacity and Defense

Hello, 83y4tg98eg094876t789ijuhgfr56789i9uy87f6r8d574r6t7y8u9hgy8ft7d65er567fyuvbih89uy7t65df7g8hjionubyv7f6t678yhujio76r54s5xr6ch98yu7t6r5f7tyubi.

Yes, you really need a university degree to modify this game. When CERN needs help, they should call someone who knows how to modify it... You're overestimating yourself and this money-guzzling game.

I strongly disagree with you, Zanir2, that the mod store's productivity for your mod arsenal isn't significantly greater than what you get from straight-farming from the node.  I've spent years just doing 150 crystals per day on the nodes and am very familiar with the general output of them.  I've spent months farming from the mod store and can say that in the 10 months or so I've spent using the modstore my top110 Omega modscore went from about 10 or 11 to my current 17.3.  I'm very happy I took MasterSeedy's advice, and miss the days of Seedy giving advice to not die during those KAM shard-farming :)

I buy stuff from the store when I have credits and something sensible is available, which is rare. I have done sprees of refreshing the store 20 times when I was sitting on a 100mln credits. I'd buy two dozen mods from the store and sell all but one of them because most turned out worthless. No different from node farming. 

I was going to troll this OP by deciding to show him with 15 crystals what I got.  I was very pleased with the prospect mods I bought.  I had 4 mods that were worthy of my appreciation.   I'm at 17.3 top110 modscore, and I care more about offense% secondary more than any other players I've met.  I ended up with a 17 and an 18 speed mod after upping.  Humorously the 6 speed speed type mod I bought did nothing.  For people that really don't dive into the complexities of modding, there's not really much point in hearing what they have to say.  

This game would be a hell-of-a-lot more pay2win if CG took the RNG out of mod acquisition and just allowed whales and dolphins to $ speed for their squads.  If the OP got what he doesn't realize he's saying, this game would suck much harder than it does.  In a game you play with 2 thumbs, it has to have some places to make you think.

The number of crap mods you take to L12 is huge. It's not a ton per mod, but you get SO MANY crap mods that the number of credits you spend per good mod you end up with is in the same ballpark. 

If you're someone who still struggles with credits, then sure, factor that in bc while I haven't done a rigorous calc, it appears likely that it's somewhat cheaper. 

But even when you take mods being sold for ship credits off the table (which I have to do at times, for sure) only counting the regular credit mods for sale, you still end up with more good candidates than you do farming. 

Elsewhere I've mentioned that targeted use of mod challenges when way behind on a specific mod set is absolutely a fair short-to-medium term strategy. 

But if you're constantly picking up the good mods available to you in the store, you'll get a good variety. And 500 is a large enough inventory that you can have Off Sets and Def sets, etc. waiting around for the next toon. You can also upgrade a crap toon with great mods to make sure you don't accidentally sell them or something. For instance, once all your good tanks are modded in a way you're happy with, try modding Nebit as good Def mods come in. Then when the Era is over, you move Nebit's mods to your new tank and throw junk on Nebit again before you slowly replace the junk mods, one at a time, as you get new Def mods from the store. 

This is a great way to construct useful sets to have waiting for your new toons, and maybe even get some benefit out of them while the Era is ongoing -- at least near the end of the era. For a while you'll have mismatched sets, but it's Nebit, so who cares? 

Anyway, just try going full out on the mod store. My credit supply is so large and my income so high that I struggle to keep it from growing. If you don't have a bunch of R9s for the newest Assault Battles that drop 20M credits in a day, then your income might be different and your needs different. 

But I am the designated help person in my guild and ALL of my new guildies have benefited from moving to store-heavy acquisition. Most of these players are 12.0-12.9M when they arrive in the guild, so not players who have everything maxed out, but still largely endgame folks. 

I don't worry about emphasizing the store too much, bc if people are already used to the mod challenges, I don't have to tell them the benefits of that strategy. it's the store that's under-utilized. So I can talk up the store and not worry that they'll forget they always have the short term option of the challenges if they need a particular mod set. 

What about you? Have you tried going hard on mod farming from the store? 

I see you repeatedly dismissing farming mod nodes in favor of only using the mod store. 

You're limited by not only crystals, but also credits. The disparity between ship credits and regular credits is enormous and the spread between offers on either in the mod store seems to be about even, though I've never bothered to actually count. Is it even? If you have 12mln ship credits and 500mln of the yellow credits, you have to start skipping options for ship credits very quickly. 

You can't target a mod set through the mod store. It's gonna roll a bunch of trash options on every refresh. 10 mod store refreshes is 150 crystals, same as 3 energy refreshes. I wonder which yields more potentially good mods. I wonder, because I don't know. I'm not convinced that the mod store is clearly superior. 

If I want defense sets to equip a bunch of tanks, I'd rather just throw a few hundred crystals at the mod battle node over a few days and know that I will only get defense mods. Going to lvl12 to see if a mod is worth slicing is a lot cheaper than buying one from the mod store. Yeah, I will sell 99% of the mod battle mods. Do you keep more than for 100 mods you  buy from the store for hundreds of millions of credits? I don't sit on a pile of integer limit credits because I use them to work on mods. I buy some from the mod store. I also farm the nodes when I look for mods of one particular set. 

That's the thing, though, if you refresh the mod store, you can buy only the unicorns bc refreshing the store is 15c (no matter how many times you refresh) while mod energy refreshes are at least 50c and go up after your 3rd refresh. You can't chase unicorns through mod farming, but you can through store refreshes.

I don't think this OP has the analytical mind for dealing with modding in SWGOH.  This person starts processing statistics and starts smashing buttons on their keyboard.

Modding in SWGOH is a really complicated thing that is not user-friendly for 90% of SWGOH players.  If SWGOH's player-base was just 100% wealthy as a whole, they'd probably outsource farming to I.T. people.
