Why is Carth Onasi in Ships Hard Nodes?

250 shards / 21 days = 12 a day.
375 energy for 3 refreshes per day.

There's 3 ways this can be done:

A) you have saved crystals and can farm hard, or use your accrued daily crystals to farm (easier if you place top 3 in either arena and/or fleet)

B.) you can buy the crystal pack that gives 2800 for £20. That will cover farming Carth at the rate needed above Per week. 375*7= 2625. You'll buy 3 = £60. That's a daily cost of £2.85. this method also leaves another 500 crystals left over after 3 weeks

C) you whale at the end on packs and spend circa £300

Juhani, despite being on a hard node is a 16 cost and easy to farm solely using accrued energy and taking 3 refreshes. So really you need to be making 500 crystals a day to farm both comfortably.

Obviously this only works if you compromise on all other toons for 3 weeks.

Your gripe seems o be it's paywalled. But it is and it isn't to an extent - it depends on your situation. Because I place 1st in arena, I can spare 375 crystals without needing to purchase

Yeah, you're right about Juhani, I didn't realize we get that much free regular energy. That makes it 450 crystals daily, not 550. But you are forgetting the additional shards that are needed from shipments, 3x8 attempts (what 375 crystals get you for Carth) only give you 8 shards daily on average, not 12, so you have to buy more.

As I mentioned before, I've taken 3 refresh and got 10 shards. I Also have 4 more attempts today on the node without a further refresh; and still to collect my extra ship energy later. That potentially is 12 a day...
