The title sums up what I'm about to ask. So I'm a 5+ year player on a strictly free to play account. I only have slkr as my gl and a decent variety of relic 5 and higher toons. My daily crystal income is roughly 200 between daily activities and grand arena and my question is how should I go about making this minimal crystal income work for me? I would like to add a few things about what I want to avoid spending it on just so there is some clarification. -No refreshing of hard mode battles or energy as rewards from battles are too poor to rely on anymore-My top priorities are gearing up and relicing more toons for mostly grand arena and rancor challenge raid Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated

If you actually calculate the cost based on the drop rate you'll see you are costing yourself crystals by buying rather than farming.

Yeah and u really need to develop your Ships! At least u can get 50 crystal more a day by placing better in fleet arena.And in GAC it could always be a Problem Not winning by having Bad ships But i do actually think u already know the answer u wanted to hear from us. Focus on your roster and clean up your mess :)

- SLKR can beat all other GLs (sometimes with specific comps including chars like Wat or Armorer)- Fleets are incredibly important and make up for one of your main crystal incomes in the game, work on them! You alrdy have SLKR and therefor a close to an Exe counter with Finalizer, get Hux to R6 +6x 6E mods, get FOO to R7 + 6x 6E mods and start practicing against Executors. For all other fleets you can use Nego and/or Male- Farming is nearly always better than buying, refreshs are essential to someones roster progress

Well as far as why I dont have more galactic legends was that I never bothered to go after them when they first came out since my crystal income was so poor. I cant recall if gl Rey or kylo were around when crystals were squad arena only and just have a hard time staying focused on a project for too long when the process of character development was and still is so hard to move forward on. My ships are a bit of a mess but I never really saw them as a problem since I only ever farm the zeta mats from ship shop. I have some decent ships but I dont make it a habit of farming for them since they dont get double drop treatment like toons do

And the reason why I try to avoid refreshes is that I feel that due to the usual poor drop rates and the crystal expenditure on refreshes as well as energy points I believe that it's become a better option just to buy what I need from shipments rather than gamble away those crystals on refreshes that more often than not offer little to nothing in return save for maybe like 1 or 2 pieces of salvage or shards.

Look at it this way:
For the same amount of crystals, you can get d20 gear pieces or 5 gear pieces.
