Ticket/gear farming bias towards SLKR

I’m not sure if this has been pointed out already, so apologies if it has, but there appears to be a fairly significant (in my mind anyways) bias towards SLKR ticket farming and node availability of bottleneck gear.

I’m specifically looking at stun gun, cuff, carbanti, gold ball and mk4 gel salvage, but will also reference kyros and finishers.

Stun guns, gold balls, and mk4 gel* salvage are all available only on dark side normal energy nodes (*gel also has a normal fleet node).

Carbantis and cuffs are available on both sides, kyros are split, finishers are 2-1 light to dark.

Based on that, there’s a significant advantage towards SLKR over Rey with regard to farming tickets and continuing to advance in bottleneck gear. SLKR owners have the opportunity to farm everything except 2 finishers along with their event tickets, whereas Rey owners are unable to farm 4 pieces, stun guns being one of them.

Ideally, each of these bottleneck pieces would be available equally on both light and dark nodes, or evenly split across the sides.

  • Disagree with you there buddy,

    when I was farming SLKR tickets, I really needed the gear from the Light Side nodes more than the dark side ones

    when I was farming Rey's tickets, I really needed the gear from the Dark Side nodes more than the light side ones

    I think as you farm more and more tickets of one side of the cantina, you reach a point where you need gear from the other end

    Curious, what pieces did you find yourself needing from light side when you were farming SLKR tickets? Outside of kyros, which are split and in my balanced, the only thing you couldn’t farm on the dark side was 2 finishers.

    Regardless, my main thesis is that it should be evenly split. There are 2 ways to do that, put every piece on both sides, or put half on one side and half on the other. Currently it’s biased towards dark side nodes.
  • Requirements for both Kylo and Rey are unbalenced between Kyrotech Prods and Computers : 600-800 prods vs 400 computers so farming Rey first should be more efficient (I did Kylo first and ended up farming gear that wasn't usefull to Rey's requirements)
  • Kyros are not balanced; the ones available on light side are needed significantly more. Finishers favor light side. Stun guns are the only thing that mattered to me that favored dark side. The rest of the gear listed can be obtained from the guild store, so I have hardly ever farmed any of it. Strong, strong advantage to Rey in terms of gear farming that can be done during ticket farming, IME.
  • Good god, can we just stop already with the "waaahhh kylo is too good" nonsense? Kylo is fine. Rey is fine. Git fricking gud.

    That’s not really what this is. Just advocating for a stun gun node on the light side really. It has more to do with gear placement than either of the characters.

    Rey has two lightsabers. Balanced.

    Wow...were you held too much as a child? Not enough? Relax, mi amigo, it's just an opinion.

    Here comes CG to buff Kylo with three more lightsabers.
