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?

That's cool and all, but my point is that my drop rate has always been trash on the 16 energy cantina nodes. I'm saying I would rather refresh a hard node once for 50 crystals than spend 100 on the cantina node.
