So it's looking like I have a really good shot at getting Darth revan when he returns. I've been buying double refreshes on a daily basis for fallen bastila and Juhani and occasionally carth. But even with the double refreshes bastila still sometimes doesnt have the best drop rate. Is it worth it whenever I have the extra Crystal's to buy her shards from the shipments or just keep doing what I'm doing? And also when would it be safe to stop buying refreshes on the rest of the characters? Fallen bastila is 30/100, juhani is 67/100, and carth is 63/100. Then obviously hk is done and canderous only needs 4 shards. I just wanna mention that whatever Crystal's I dont spend on refreshes then are being saved for Darth revans pay wall gear so I can have him ready for the malak event just incase it follows afterwards. So again is it worth buy bastila shards from shipments and when is it safe to quit refreshing the other 2

What gear level are they? The event is gonna come in around 25+ days (3 month mark) so you should be fine unless u get 2 shards a day with double refreshes. Plus if 4/5 + DR aren't 17,500 power you wont get Malak and you will be beaten easily by JKR. Plus u need 17,500 4/5 + JKR for Malak too.

It’s not on the June calendar

A journey event doesn't appear on the calendar until after it has returned twice.

As this will be the second run of Darth Revan's event it wouldn't appear on the monthly calendar. We get one week's notice.

All the required characters for Darth revan are g11 except canderous. Hes almost g12
Bastila fallen and carth have their Zetas as well. And then my light side is good. My zaalbar needs 1 more piece to be g11 and my misson just needs her zeta. I'll have everyone but Darth revan at the 17,500 power mark. Once zaalbar and canderous are where I want them I'm gonna start hoarding gear and Zetas for revan as well as crystals for his new gear

https://swgohevents.com/panic-farm/darth-revan

I was just looking into the farm calculator to see how much of a panic I should be in. I feel confident that I can do it. BSF is 63/100, Juhani 1/100, and Carth 12/100. I usually use the 25c daily refresh for all 3 and should have BSF finished within a week. When Carth shards appear I'll usually buy them because his energy refreshes the slowest. Juhani I'll probably buy the 50c refresh because she'll get all the normal energy after BSF is 7*.

I'm curious if they'll have what Nute Gunray and Count Dooku have in the weekly shipment now: 1250c for 25 shards. That'll help immensely over the 1280c for 16 shards. Although if I remember last time DR was around it was something like 2000c for 25 shards, so I'm not holding my breath.

Farm as much as you can, once the event returns you'll be able to buy as many shards as needed from shipments if necessary. Do not buy from shipments before then.

You should be safe going as you are.
In my mind the “minimum safe zone” (at 5 node attempts instead of 8) is 30/100 - at that rate you can buy 2 refreshes (15 total attempts) for an average of 5 shards per day.

Week notice plus week of event gives you 14 days, so (14 x 5 = 70) is enough to complete the farm (and as others have stated, you can always pick up a crystal shipment or two if you are running below average on your farm. (And the 3rd and higher refreshes average out to higher crystal cost per shard than shipments anyways - on that note, don’t expect the cheaper cost you see with Nute and Dooku when the old republic toons come back around... the older legacy characters are 50 crystals per shard, newer characters are 80 crystals per shard in both daily and weekly shipments)

The Darth Revan event isn’t until July, so there should be no panic
