Those Cantina nodes are really no better than a hard node. You can expect 1 shard per refresh from them. They are more expensive than hard nodes.
Why nobody else has figured this out is beyond me.
On the low energy cantina nodes I get pretty good drops.
However on the 16 energy nodes, I completely agree. I'd rather refresh a hard node than refresh attempts at those things.
Cantina gives you 165 free energy per day, that’s 10 attempts for 3,33 shards.
To get 10 attempts at a hard node it costs 50 crystals to refresh the node and costs 200 energy.
3 cantina refreshes gives you 32 attempts, which means 10,83 shards for a cost of 300 crystals.
30 attempts from a hard node requires 5 refreshes of the node at 250 crystals. At 100 energy / 5 attempts you will need on top of the free energy (375 / day) to buy 2 energy refeshes at 100 crystals, bringing the total to 350. To get the extra 2 attempts you have from cantina require one refresh of energy and another of the node, to a grand total of 450 crystals.
-> it is cheaper at Cantina by far
Disclaimer: I have never refreshed a hard node so I don’t know if it always costs 50 crystals or will the price go up?
