Hello all, I’ve got a MK V Stun Gun in shipments for over 2500 crystals! Wasn’t most raid gear costing 1400 crystals before? Or have EA/CG increased the cost?On a side note, I heard it outta the mouths of a couple of Devs on the Galactic War Report podcast. When they were alluding to flash events and promising us the gear crunch would be eased a little. While the gear I got for first three tiers was mediocre to me as a longer time player, well it was insulting that the good gear was in the bonus tier and I like many others couldn’t get Sabine farmed in time, so locked out of good gear again!! Please tell me they haven’t now increased the cost of gear in shipments?

Pit gear does cost 1400 crystals, but a full mk 5 Gun has always cost 2500ish crystals. The prototype is 1274.They have not increased the cost of gear in shipments.

A full gear costs 2500, just the Stun Gun - 1400.Full Gear = Stun Gun + Carbanti or Full Furnace = Furnace + Syringe + Holo Projector

A full mk 5 furnace (i.e. Pit gear) is 1400 crystals. And a full carbanti is 1400 crystals. And a full mk4 stun gun is 1400 crystals. A full mk 3 holo is 300 cyrstals, but a full mk 7 chip is 273.There is little rhyme or reason to the pricing, but it has not changed.

I am explaining to him why his Stun Gun costs 2500 instead of 1400. The reason is, it's because it's not just the Stun Gun but also the Carbanti, in other words the whole item, not just a part of it. Furnace is actually more expensive, I just gave it as an example.

This isn't true at all. A full mk 5 furnace (i.e. Pit gear) is 1400 crystals. And a full carbanti is 1400 crystals. And a full mk4 stun gun is 1400 crystals. A full mk 3 holo is 300 cyrstals, but a full mk 7 chip is 273.

You are explaining incorrectly. Many pieces cost more because the sum of their parts cost more. Pit gear (mk 5 Furnace, mk7 Scanner, mk6 Tech, mk5 Caller) are bad examples, because they are 1400 crystals for a full piece.

You are correct that a mk5 stun gun full piece is 2500+ crystals, and the assumption is that this is because it is a gun prototype (1274 crystals), a mk3 carbanti (1400 crystals), and some other little piece (not sure the cost). However, we don't really know that this is why, because the pricing is all over the place. For instance, the Mk 7 Holo Lens (https://swgoh.gg/db/gear/099/mk-7-taggeco-holo-lens/) that costs 273 crystals requires a Mk 3 Projector (https://swgoh.gg/db/gear/102/mk-3-sienar-holo-projector/) which costs 300 crystals.

Exactly?

Furnace costs 1.400, full raid gear piece

Ok next time you head to the shipments, and you need a furnace, I want you to buy it, then go to a character that needs it and see if it says "Craft" or "Equip". If it says "Craft" that means you bought ONLY the furnace without the Syringes and Holo Lens. A fully "Crafted" furnace costs like 2541 or something like that, I can't remember the exact price, could be more, but I am more than 100% sure that I've seen it once or twice in shipments.

No, you are completely wrong. A Mk 6 furnace (Tank gear) sells only 50 pieces of salvage. But if you look at the mk 5 furnace that sells for 1400, you can see pretty easily that it is the full piece and not the salvage. If you buy a mk 5 furnace from shipments it will be 1400 crystals, and it will be a full piece.
