How to work with 200 crystals a day

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

    - 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

    Like the others have said, the math checks out for the node refresh to gear ratio compared to the shipment to gear ratio.

    If you want a net “profit” of crystals to bank for emergency farms, do 2 energy refreshes and 2 hard nod refreshes. That’s a total of 175 crystals spent, 25 in pocket for you. If you’re not farming toons and just farming gear, do 3 energy refreshes for a total of 150, leaving 50 in pocket.

    Cantina refreshes are more expensive, so if you still want to bank crystal, you’re going to have to do 1 refresh for 100.

    And build you’re fleets. Just breaking into top 50 grabs you 50 extra crystals which goes a fairly good way when it comes to refreshes.

    (Edited for spelling.)

    There’s a player in my fleet shard that makes Top 5 every day with Finaliser (amongst a sea of Executors + scattered Profundity).
    This should be your priority 1!!!
    You’re also very close to both SEE and JKL —> just relic materials needed I think?

    Honestly — ships will improve your GAC income and fleet income significantly.
    Priority 2 probably also = ships

  • Hyena Bomber, Vulture would give you a decent Mal fleet
  • JKAs ship + YWing = Negotiator good to go
  • Empire - Emperors shuttle, Tie Bomber to 7 star


    Tie Echelon & Finaliser —> “Secondary fleets” above —> SEE —> Executor
    And squeeze in JKL **AFTER** getting some progress on fleets.

    I can’t see you not increasing in GAC and Fleet arena (more crystals) if you do this.

    Also, make sure your maximising your ABattle rewards.

    • Your ITs should be capable of CT3 in Forest Moon and Rebel Roundup (Veers, Piett, Starck, Range + Shore will work).
    • Your Rebels should be capable of CT3 in Military Might
    • Your NSisters should be capable of CT2 in S&S (although you will need to watch a few guides & be patient)
    • Your FO should be capable of CT3 in Places of Power
    • Your Jedi should be capable of CT2 in Ground War and CT3 once you get JKL


    If you aren’t hitting the above then you aren’t maximising your potential.

    This is the point I'd make.

    I'm F2P 4 year player with 4 GLs there's no excuse to only have 1 for such a long service player.

    On the topic of gear drop rates, and calling on those who track their drops, I'm wondering whether the rule of "refresh / don't buy" works for:


    1. Hard node vs normal node: do you get a better drop rate on hard nodes to justify the double energy spent?

    2. Fleet nodes vs LS/DS nodes: I really feel the drop rate is crappy on Fleet nodes and I barely ever get anything. Is it just an impression or is the Fleet drop worse than regular nodes?

    3. Is it the same for almost all gear? Thr high end gear seems to have really low drops, and I often calculate that it would be cheaper to buy them than refresh. I'm completely aware that it could be unlucky RNG, but happens often so I'm starting to consider it's a drop rate issue. (Mostly for g12 components). Is that something that you've experienced as well, or is it still worth the refresh even for high end gear?

    Thanks for the feedback

    Ps: there can some reasons why players dont have GL even though they're long term F2P. I'm a long term player as well but have taken 2 long breaks in the games and just got back a month ago, so I don't have a GL yet and working towards it as fast as I can now :) i completely appreciate that Im behind in GAC because of it.

    Oh, the days when GMY was meta... ;)
