Baze will forever hold record of being the absolute worst farm ever. I had quit playing for a few months right before he came out so when I came back, I saw he and Chirrut were the must have toons. 3 sims of a 20 energy hard node a day with no other locations to farm was brutal as I had to start with 0 shards. There were days I bought refreshes of his node and still got 0 drops.
The current release cadence is no where near as bad as it was. I'll be finished farming Visas to 7 star within a couple weeks, 50 shards to go. Didn't spend a dime on her. That being said I still like the OPs suggestion a lot. I'm a retired kraken and because I know how horrible hard node farms are due to PTSD from Baze, I buy the 10 dollar packs and then I buy a single 1299 crystal pack like a gambling addict hoping to hit it big.
