Who was/is your longest farm to 7*?

Only counting everyone I've gotten to 7* already, Darth Nihilus took the longest. Even after they put his 4 or 8 shard item in shipments (free-to-play, saved daily crystals).

Current longest, have to be Sabine Wren and Hoth Rebel Soldier. All week, I've been getting 0/5 Shards for them each day. Most frustrating thing in this game to me is getting NO characters Shards when they only have one node. Even more so when I spend 50 crystals to refresh that node.

Grievous didn't take that long for me, only ever got him from fleets, never shard shop. Same with Vader (except the achievements), maul, Cody, echo, Rex, now doing the same with Fulcrum. For guild shipments, jyn didn't take too long, but jawa engineer has taken a while. 4 more shipments to get him to 7*.

If the answer isn't lobot you're not doing it right

Lobot has two nodes on different sides (meaning you can get three daily activities from doing both) and both are medium cost.

Nihilus has one node at high cost that drops dumb gear, but at least he was a Marquee character when first released so you might have a head start depending on when you started playing.

Baze has one node at high cost that drops dumb gear and wasn't a Marquee, so unless you bought him in the Shard Shop for the while he was there, you're starting from scratch.

Compared to either of those, Lobot is a walk in the park.

Snowtrooper, got him purely from bronziums, took me like at least 10 months

Either Vader, Grievous, or Shoretrooper. I can't remember how long exactly it took me for each, but Vader was only achievs, Grievous was shard shop until 6* and a bit with fleet doing the rest, and Shore was like, 2-3 star (whatever he unlocks at) and the rest was entirely saving up shards and buying him from shipments. If I had to guess, Vader was 8-10 months, Grievous was 12-13, and Shore was about 9-10.

URoRRuR’R’R for me. Been playing since December of 2015, and I’m at 51/80. Only farming from bronzium

I have Baze at 64/85 and am not even at the required level to try his cantina node.

He doesnt have a cantina node, only one hard light side node...

HRSoldier here also. Drop rate is terrible for me.

First order tie pilot and first order storm trooper (farmed both at the same time). Funny enough, I had finished getting them to 7* AND gear 11 a few weeks before BB-8 came out.

Hoth Rebel Soldier, he took me more than 10 months to farm, and I farmed his node every day, never complained about it as my other farms had a good drop rate

moved to correct sub forum.

Lobot, but might be "easier" now with 5 tries each.
