Refreshing cantina energy vs regular energy

Depending on financial investment Cantina energy should always come second to mission energy. The one impotant thing you must keep in mind is gear. I know it's easy to gear up in your 40's but once you hit 50 and are converting from blues to epics you can easily burn 2 full refills of mission energy for just 10 of 40 components needed for 1 piece and Im not exaggerating. I crossed Consular over from blues to epics and it was an expensive endeavor. Now I have 13 toons to go lol.

So you see gear in your 50's become the grind that is slow, expensive and frustrating. Many times I've spent 240 energy and only recieved 10 of the 60 epic materials I need. But the power increase from blues to epics is substantial.
