Razor Crest shards from now on

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/244212/road-ahead-april-2021#latest

If a new character is released into the rotation we will be in step 2 for the next Conquest

This is true. The only mention of 3 times was in the ability to unlock CAT with max rewards . (red box hard mode)

I didn't realize until now how much that sucks. Assuming that conquest currency stays as tight as it is now (and there's no indication it should change), it basically means no more RC shards for now unless we want to spend crystals or give up on the next conquest character. And then the long, annoying hard node farm...

I bought no RC shards since CAT came out, am sitting on 3200 currency, and will be at like 50/100 on RC after this conquest. I am very happy :sunglasses:

I notice it says several months, not 3. Does this mean that the next conquest could still have the same rewards?

They left it open, which basically means when the next toon is added that will cause the shift. But also several is because this step is counting RC as the starting point, which would be more than 3 Conquest.

So you can 7* it if you spend your whole stockpile and some of the tiny surplus from next conquest (assuming the pricing stays the same). Thanks for illustrating my point.

No that's not correct.

I thought they were 400?

I’m really hoping that the next cycle of conquest would have a new character or ship, as I’m only 30 away from unlocking CAT, and I pretty much doesn’t care much for the Razor Crest just yet (as BAM isn’t on my priority list at the moment.)

Also I’m up hoping for a refresh of bosses etc. Also some new feats would be nice.

The conquest is getting a bit stale, really.

It all depends on the data disks used, I believe conquest is fresh and uses more strategies the higher you climb. Albeit, easier if your roster is closer to full development. I don’t think it’s stale. It could also change to keep us on our toes.

Can someone clarify how we will get RC/CAT shards after they’re gone from Conquest rewards? Is it only from the conquest shipments? I thought I read someone say hard node?
Thanks

Why not? You need 50 shards, 5 shards cost 330 tokens, so with your stockpile alone you are 100 tokens short.

You are incorrectly assuming that currency is the only way to get more shards.
