G12 Guide?

This is a guide of what's worth getting from where (e.g. buy that piece with crystals but that one from the shard shop): (gigantic spreadsheet)

It mostly depends on what gear you need, but generally:
- Wait for things that drop from both Raid boxes to drop
- Buy the gold component pieces with crystals (25 for 375c) - Warning! Not to be mistaken for the salvage, which drop by the dozen from challenges
- Get stun cuffs & carbantis from the guild store
- Get G11 gear, stun guns and some other painful purple things from shard shop
- Farm G11 gear from their nodes

I think you mean G11 gear, you can't farm G12 gear. And the drop rate on purple gear is lower than 33%. Around 20% IIRC.

Yes, you're correct - G11

Is all the farmable stuff at G11 around 20%?

Stun guns seem to be way less than that. Like, not even 1 out 10, but that was with only about 50 sims.

I wish stun guns were only required at gear 11.

So, the drop rate is closer to 20%. Often you'll go on runs where you get squat. It's usually a smidge cheaper to use the crystals on 50 cost refreshes.

That said, it kills my soul to do it that way, so I'll just buy a full one here or there when I have enough saved.

I've actually started to farm carbs from a normal energy node. Most purple gear is on a 10 node but for some reason carbs also have one 8 node.

@TVF I do the same from time to time. It really helps bring in the carbantis and I feel good about being able to get a bunch at a time without having to spend a ton of crystals on refreshes.
