I have the other toons needed for the luke event but Old Ben is standing at 4* and 20 odd shards. I can realistically only blow 200 crystals per day in the cantina. Will i be able to get him to 7* in time?

You should be able to I would suspect,

Probably not. I'm hoping they release packs like they have for other toons, the 80 shard packs for the Commander Luke event would really help

Soooo one for and one against...probably. ;) Will be tight i think..

At 8 energy node, 2 refreshes(and natural regen) is about 45 attempts a day.Assuming 1/3 drop rate, that is about 15 shards a day.Assuming that the event starts next week and lasts at least a week, you might be able to get 225 shards in 15 days.The more important question is whether you can gear him up in time also.

Ah, I forgot to take into account that there will likely be double drop events or something.

I don't think so I think they would already have announced that.

It's coming in their next update later this week and definitely before the reworks next week.

I have the Leia, St Han etc at 10*/11* so probably not critical if old Ben is above gear level 8. My reasoning is that other special character events haven't been that hard and Old Ben has a decent health pool.

You want him to die first :wink:

He's getting a taunt. That won't be hard anymore.

I know :smiley:

I was at 5 I got 40 in 2 days 6 refreshes.

It looks pretty consistent one of my guildmates is doing the same thing. We are doing a race and we are both at 45.

Save 600 crystals for an eventual double drop.

Someone posted it in another thread and I really think it is possible.

The event will probably start after R2 and last 7 days so it will give us 2 weeks.

If we get double drops it will get easier!
