Farming Carth Onasi

2000 crystals for 25 shards is 80/shard. 100 crystals gets you 120 energy, which is 6 attempts. Law of averages says that you'll get better returns just farming over time. Of course fleet nodes aren't the easiest farm, and add in the node refresh costs and things get murkier. Guess I'd say if you have the 2000 crystals to spare I'd go ahead and grab them.

I think it's cheaper to farm. I mean if you're trying to make this time around and need speed then obviously the bulk purchase, but if you're planning for the next rodeo and have no chance at this one then farm. Let's look at really rough math here (and I'm sure someone else will post actuals) but let's say you get 6 attempts for free a day and you refresh twice at 100 crystals each.

Now every 8 attempts you have to pay another 25 crystals to renew the node so you're paying an extra 50. I guess if we're being honest if you're paying for the second node renew you'll probably have some more free energy to spend as accumulated through the day and the bonus energy so let's toss an extra 2 attempts in for good measure and say in total you spend 250 crystals a day and you get 20 attempts a day.

Someone else posted their journey of farming and it's about a 33% hit rate. So let's say every 100 you get 33 shards. In 5 days you will have spent 1,250 crystals and gotten 33 shards.

Now this is misleading because I'm counting free energy too so let's just go with what you get for spending crystals. Let's again assume 2 refreshes so that's 12 attempts, but again you are spending for a node renew so I think you have to factor in using some free energy towards it so let's say 2 extra attempts a day account for this so the second node renew isn't a total waste.(You could also refresh again to fully use the renew but being economical here).

So in 1 day 14 attempts that cost you 250 crystals. Let's use even numbers here. In 7 days you would have made 98 attempts at a 33% hit rate that's roughly 32 shards. 7 days of spending 250 crystals a day is 1,750 crystals.

In one day you can spend 2,000 crystals and get 25 shards or in 7 days you can spend 1,750 and get 32 shards. (In both scenarios plus your free daily energy).

1st node refresh is 25, 2nd 50. So your math is off slightly, you would be paying 75 crystals on top of the energy refresh, not 50.

DR loses to almost every team in arena.

I'll take "wild exaggerations" for 500, please

Okey tnx, i amstill not sure what to do. Today i only got 1 shard whit no refreshes.

Don’t waste your crystals. DR loses to almost every team in arena. Just get him next time when he’s f2p, there’s no advantage by spending on him now as the team composition just doesn’t work at all.

What if he stays on ship energy?

In 3 months he’ll be farmed for when even comes back. There’s no benefit doing it now. My opinion is wait, take it from someone who has serious buyers remorse after dropping 500 to unlock and gear DR to get slaughtered by cls, Finn, JKR even OG rebel’s and JTR lol. It’s not worth it mate trust me

The packs were what 40 each??
Then 2 vaults prior to release to get the characters to 7*
2 vaults to gear OR to unlock (was probably about 10k crystals) then the rest from those vaults spent on hearing DR. His new paywall gear alone cost 5,600. Have you seen his g11 gear requirements?

So yes, 500 was easily spent and that’s not even g12 or g12+ gear.

I'm happy to take my time. I've never gotten any of the legendary chars first time out, MAYBE Yoda or Palpatine, but all the others, nope. 2nd time around though I tend to.
