So what is the estimated number of refreshes a day needed to 7* this ship? Three 100 crystal refreshes? Three 200 crystal refreshes? More?I’m sitting at 53/80 so it seems like a long ways off.

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

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.

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.

So of course I hit a 3.9% rate on the last day. Glad I didn't pay the 200s right away. At 325, so should be able to finish.

I can avoid 200s today if I hit 4.4% on my remaining free energy lol.

Aaaaaaand my final sim was a whopping 6.4%, netting me 3 more shards than I needed. Where was this rng all week? At least I didn't need 200s today.

3.22% average across all 9 days for me - shilling has its perks I guess.

I did through the 200 crystal refreshes until the last day with no preloaded energy. Went into the final day at 93/100 and finished up with only one refresh on the last day.

Did all my 50s on the last day and was 99/100.

Kept waiting an hour and trying one more and waiting an hour and trying one more. Stuck on 99/100.

My changeover is 2am for me b/c I set it in a time zone where I didn't have competition for 1st in fleet (and also b/c it's more convenient to do fleet climb late in the evening). That's normally fine, but this time I was staying up later and later to try to get that last blueprint without spending my 100s.

Got at 1:12am with no 100s spent. That was too close. (And too late!)

I feel like 100 crystals is a small price to pay for a few more hours of sleep :smile:

Congrats though - glad you got it.

With no hoarded energy to start, I understand 6 or 7 refreshes at the 200 crystal cost will be needed to be sure.

It takes 1000 attempts on average, to 7 star a single drop character.

59 shards for me from 1000 hoarded energy plus all the 50, 100 and 200 refreshes.
