Tie Dagger daily refreshes

I had 1000 energy horded. The drop rate seems much less than the defender

Assuming the 3% is correct (certainly seems so), you'll get about 26 shards/day if you do the 50s and 100s, which is only 234 shards. If you add in the 200s you jump up to about 33 shards/day, which is 297 shards at the end, so if you had hoarded energy you should 7* that way.

Also, a much easier way to figure that out: https://swgohevents.com/shard-drop-calculator

Er mugh gerd, so glad I read this. I didn't realize the chase was 9 days long. According to the calculator, with my energy bank and 1x 200 refresh per day, I can get it 7* !!!

I did my own math, with a 3% drop rate and 1100 preloaded energy, doing 7 refreshes for 7 days and 6 refreshes for 2 days gets me right to 330.

Obviously there’s no conclusive proof, but it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that they might attach a lower than usual drop rate to this chase, given that it’ll be needed at 7* to just unlock the new CS.

The problem with that sort of conspiratorial chat is that the drop rates have been different for different ships before.

3%, which this ship clearly is, is not lower than usual as there have been other ships dropping at that rate.

I wasn’t aware that previous ships had had different chase drop rates. Were there any in particular you can remember as having higher or lower ones. Just interested.

I do know that I’m just looking at confirmation bias given my own drop rate so far has been close to 2.5%. Some people will end up with higher or lower than 3% (that’s just how stats work), it just sucks this time around to be tracking below the average personally. Maybe I’ll get luckier with the second new release that’ll be needed for Leviathan.

The TIE Defender was generous. 5% maybe?

If you stick with the TIE Dagger farm, you'll probably find the drop rate will even out. I'd stick it out if you can - you've got 8 days left.

So far I'm at 3.25% - I expect that to trend down though.

Nice. I'm only at 2.7%...109/4020. I'm going to need to start buying more refreshes.

@Lovimgsaskia1 Have you been doing all of the refreshes a day?

I've been doing up to 1x 200 as standard and 2, 3 days 3x200 to make sure I have least amount of stress to guarantee 7 star at the end.

Slight deviation from the original post: I don't remember having a chase ship as requirement before it was farmable. So we can expect at least a few days of regular hard node farming before Leviathan. So if a few shards are missing to 7* the ship at the end of the chase, it might not be worth it to pay a high price of last day refreshes to secure 7*. Yes 400 crystals refresh, I'm talking about you.
