What is the fastest way to gear up a toon?

I have most at gear 8 or 9. If I focus on one toon at a time, what is the best way to get them to gear 11?

Request from my guild

Spend gems and search for them

Luck from the raids???

I appreciate your help :)

  • Lol the only way to get it fast is to buy crystals and whale it out.

    Raids get you nothing. I haven't gotten cuffs or gun salvage since August, and that's the pit raid.

    Requesting does nothing because everyone needs the same pieces, so you'll all likely sit there with 0/5 donated.

    Saving crystals for gear is decent, but even placing 1st every day, it'll take you 3 days for one piece, when you need 30 gear pieces.

    There are 3 places to buy gear from. Some don't cost crystals. The fastest way is to use all available resources for gear. I didn't want to sound like a **** and just say invest $1000 in crystals and sim the **** out of gear farming


    The only difficult gear to get sub g11 is cuffs guns carbonatis and holos. Those aren't available anywhere else except energy nodes and shipments (aside from carbs in challenges, but we need so many). So no, you can't use all available resources to farm difficult gear pieces that halt your progression. All other gear is considered easy to get compared to these.

    So you could start 49 alt accounts, get into T7 guilds and collect raid gear for a while, then use your main account to start a new guild, enlist your 49 alt account members to it, and start feeding your main account that way


    Or just join a guild doing raids regularly and not spend an entire day running 49 Alts that wouldn't give you any benefit. Raid salvage is not at all needed once you've been 85 for a while.

    My main point is that the game is terrible at letting you progress with gear even at low levels. We need so much new gear, but are still gated on cuffs and guns as well as some blue items even. That's pointless and terrible game management at this point in the game.
  • Lol, there was a game statistic that someone posted on Reddit that you spend 155 minutes on swgoh daily. Let's just say you only spend a half hour a day on each account. You don't have enough hours a day to run 1 main account and 49 alts.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/5rea4y/you_play_swgoh_on_average_155_minutes_day/

    And I'd also like to see how you only need to spend half an hour a day on each of those 50 accounts to generate the 600 tickets needed daily to stay in a T7 guild.

    You only need 5 alts as you can only receive 5 total stun cuffs from your guild a day. If we're talking about money, Spending $100 would be a good start to get you gear from shipments. For FTP, it'll be using bronziums, Guild Exchange, LS/DS Grinding, Ship Tokens, all the crystals you can save, raids, and TIME.

    I got a 15 dollar gift card for iTunes. Would that even get a gear 8 to gear 9?


    It depends. Some toons don't need raid gear to hit G9. Like Tusken Raider and Stormtrooper. Lol
  • Fastest way: p2p. Shop gear for crystals. Refresh shop for crystals, continue shopping, done.

    At level cap: do your 600/600. Rank high in arena, shop gear for crystals

    Energy refreshes won't bring you anywhere close to fastest way, however this is the fastest way to go to max level, where the daily box and omega are waiting for you.

    If you are f2p, it is really hard.
    If you place top 100 you still don't get enough crystals to buy them in the shop, so refreshes are unfortunately faster than just hoarding and buying.

    However, if you do your 600/600 daily, your guild can raid quite often. Your gear should come from raids, donations, light/dark side battles and maybe from shops (not shipments).
