Farming Cantina characters ? Let's figure how long it takes !

Hey Guys,

I set up a little tool, based on average probabilities found by players (and consolidated by myself) :
- select your battle stage (thus a character),
- tell how many shards you have,
- where you want to go,
- profit !

here it is : http://www.crouchingrancor.com/cantina-farming-planner-tool/

    Very cool tool. I currently use an excel spreadsheet to forecast all my shard farming (including the Hard and Cantina Battles shards I'm doing based on trends)

    Are you working a similar tool for Arena Shipments?

    I haven't planned anything around arena shipments. It's pretty simple to figure out.

    That also means it's a simpler tool to set up... Why not. I need to think about it :)

    Based on the calculator, it seems like using a lower cost node to farm a character will always get you shards faster, but fewer credits and fewer cantina character shards.

    Taking my 5* Luke to 7* via the 8 energy node gets him there in 26 days (assuming no refreshes), and earns 523k credits and 85 cantina character shards.

    Taking my 5* Luke to 7* via the 12 energy node gets him there in 39 days (again, assuming no refreshes), and earns 2.3M credits and 135 cantina character shards.

    I always assumed that the higher energy nodes had a higher shard drop rate, but I guess that's wrong?


    I'm keeping tabs of my shard drops in cantina for a few months now. I'm standing at 33% drop rate after almost 2000 attempts. (it went slightly below 32%, then went back up again).

    As far as I can see, the drop rate is the same one, whatever the energy cost.

    to OP: Nice tool, thanks for creating it. I have trouble selecting the "battle stage" while on iOS using the browser built into LINE... I get the popup showing the toons in 6-12, for example, but can't change the selection. Thanks!
