Someone trying to farm a character in shipments.

So they use all their crystals in shipments rather then refreshing energy, right?


Gosh - I'm figuring this stuff out ;)


Is that a good use of resources?

not really. Buying a character in shipments is (as far as i know) always more expensive than using the "cheap" refreshes to farm said character. It does however give you the oppertunity to get a head start on characters that aren't farmable yet for another 4 to 6 weeks.

Cantina energy restores at a rate of 5 energy per hour * 24 hours = 120 energy + 45 bonus = 165 energy.
Regular energy restores at a rate of 10 energy per hour * 24 hours = 240 energy + 3 * 45 bonus = 375 energy.
375 + 165 = 540 energy leaving the amount given with no crystals spent exactly 60 energy short which is exactly half of one refresh (120 energy).

The cost per shard at buying a character out of shipments equals the cost per shard of buying a 200 energy cantina refresh on a 16 energy node, so no, it isn't efficient unless you are on your 6th+ refresh for cantina. The math was pretty balanced, but I haven't redone it for hard nodes since they increased the number of attacks to 8.

Yes. This is how I would imagine it. Thanks.

Yeah, I don't plan on getting them to 7* right away just a head start. And banking so I can buy gear when I want, because 3 energy refreshes only for me to get 1-5 pieces of salvage out of 36 pulls is getting old lol

Ive been told its more effiicent than farming the vets but that was bu a guy who had some very bad rng and spent 3 refreshes one day and got nothing so its more that it insulate from bad rng than it is efficient.

It was more efficient than farming something in a 20 energy hard node and having to refresh the node and refresh energy but that was before hard nodes went to 8 day so i dont know if thr math has changed on that.

There is a list out there of what gear it is more efficient to farm throuh energy and what gear is more efficient to buy through crystals but i dont have it on me.
