- ThaladarNew SpectatorWe need some more details on the event.
1. Can shards for both (all) characters be earned in a single event/month? Or do we have to choose which one to do? It sounds like the Bounty Hunter events where you choose which one to fight. If so, why not just add two levels to the existing event(s) and make it monthly?
2. How many crystals is it to refresh the event?
3. Will shards for conquest characters still be available in Conquest shop? Wandering Scavengers?
4. Will TB characters like Wat or KAM be added to this game mode? - TwstdByDsnNew Spectator

I’ve just accepted that I’ll never be able to unlock and I’m 90 shards away.
which one? and you totally can if you spend some crystals too. I haven't gotten past 3rd crate in ages and I have both unlocked and relic'd - TwstdByDsnNew SpectatorI need Maul shards now that I have the first 2. The end of August will be 1 year of that release. So will Maul be in Proving grounds then or will he hit a little earlier there since CAT was released towards the end of May and will already be in PG? I know the announcement was made saying her 1 year anniversary is here, so does that mean PG won't launch until end of May? Just need some clarification to plan accordingly if I still need to use crystals/conquest currency for Maul. @Ultra

conquest toons were announced as available via new method after one year
why would this affect maul
Maul was the 3rd Conquest toon. - TwstdByDsnNew Spectator

assume pg will be launched in may
Yes, that IS my assumption, hence the reason I asked for clarification. - TwstdByDsnNew Spectator

Will this be used for new units in the future in place of marquee releases?
It’s for conquest characters
Ok, I mainly ask as they said some new characters may come through it as well.
They said "It is our intention to use Proving Grounds as a location for players to earn specific Units over time, but at the initial release Commander Ahsoka Tano and Razor Crest will be the two available Units." Not necessarily new ones.
At least Ultra "confirmed" it's just for conquest characters. But yeah it could be new ones down the line knowing CG. You never know with them since they don't follow up with info well and change drop rates unexpectedly. :p "twstdbydsn;c-2353781" wrote:

They also confuse characters (beskar armor) and mod slicing material- Morgoth_swgohSeasoned Newcomer

330 shards for a character, and AFTER 1 YEAR WAITING CG gives us 20 shards per month.
So, after a toon release, you can play with the character for free in 29 month!
So 2 years and 4 month.
CG, stick your stuff you know where..
If you would consider refreshing P2P, then lets not forget, 5 sims a day is free with a 33% drop rate, and F2P are managing that just fine
So you don't see any difference between a 6 months farm (which f2p managing fine) and a 29 months farm (this CapitalGreediness).
No more questions needed.
How is this a 29 month farm though?
Are you basing that on 0 shards during the release conquest and 0 refresh of the proving grounds event?
With red box, which can be obtained F2P, it’s 3 months.
Depending on crate achieved it will be less than 17 months of proving grounds, with zero refresh.
You can save crystals F2P and that will cut down the time needed after the unit goes to proving grounds.
This really doesn’t seem that different from how legendary toons used to be released with a gated event every 3 months, which you needed to gear a bunch of toons for.
How long do you guess will it take if you started playing after it was in conquest crates (maybe because of a break) and didn't buy any shards?
Less than 29 months.
At the most, 23 months (arguably less), based on your assumption that the player was absent for the first 6 months of the toon being in conquest crates.
If the player in question actually prioritise the toon, crystals can be saved for refresh to cut down those 23 months quite a bit (how much is unknown as of yet).
Now the next question you would ask might be how long it would take a completely new F2P player to get the latest conquest toon? A very long time, but that is true for any end game toon in the game, including lots of legendaries and GLs.
If you have an overall concern about the length of getting a end game toon to 7* then fair. I just don’t see these conquest toons as super slow compared to most other releases of new toons.
I could be concerned if you can only play for one toon in PG, that would be a blow to mid-tier players with regards to catching up as they progress. - dogwelder79New TravelerI'm f2p and I was able to save crystals to speed up the Executor farm. I'll do the same with the proving grounds toons that I like.

Would be better if she was farmable elsewhere for those that don’t have her yet. Knowing CG the refresh for the event will be 1000 crystals (if capital fleet events and talzin/wicket are the basis). That may prove too steep for some.
This also gives double the shards, so I wouldn't be shocked to see a 1999 refresh, but will be shocked if it's less than 1500."Ravens1113;c-2353830" wrote:

It’s not really new content. It’s another carbon copy event like galactic bounties or the wicket/talzin event that a big chunk of the player base can’t even participate in if they have CAT or any future character.
I know of a few who are gonna come running to CG’s defense but how is it new if it’s the same type of event as those previously listed? How is it new if it’s just a farming spot for a year old toon?
Everything in this game is a carbon copy. The game is the game, and this is still new content.
Eh….I’ll just agree to disagree on it being new. New would be more pve nodes. A sandbox mode. A raid. Things of the like. A copy paste of the talzin is event that only those don’t have CAT/characters in that event can even do doesn’t really make that cut to me. That’s just me though.
More importantly though it’s just really bad for those who need her. This is going to be such a long slog and grind that I think CG is subtly trying to force people to try harder in conquest by making her such a long term farm
We don't really know what kind of slog. Might be able to refresh 17 times like you can the Executor event.
