Kyrotech farm

Not mine,but it has a good attempt sample and i would say the drop rate is pretty accurate

I just finished farming a couple of hundred Kyro prods for SLKR. Definitely not a bad way to go if you can do 3 refreshes per day. The 20% rate shown above feels right with my recent experience.

Hello,

Real question here : I'm getting to the point where I need to get a lot of kyrotech components now and I'm trying to figure out what the best method is.

They come up in the store at 28 crystals per salvage, and I've tried to farm them but with little luck. Usually, less than 1 in 10 sims, which makes it sightly less interesting than the store value.

How do others usually farm those ? Direct from the store, or through farm and refreshes?

Thanks for the help

I've a rule, that have helped me a lot with Kyros, ALL my GAC currency is for Kyros only, nothing else, no matter how desperate I'm to get another piece of gear, just kyros

Also, for farming I didn't find them as bad when I did for my SLKR, just like any other piece out there, somedays where good, some where bad

Also, I always prefer to use energy instead of buying the pieces for crystals on stores, only exceptions are the gold eyeballs prototype parts for example (those that cost 750 for 50 pieces)

I hoard them from guild events. However when I need them I just buy them from the store

From assaults, galactic challenge, GAC currency, daily rewards, TB rewards you can get arround 500 kyro per month, rest you can farm with energy ?

The true drop rate when farming is around 20%, so they are definitely cheaper farmed than bought in the stores.

It all depends on where you’re at with farming etc. At the moment I’m doing 10 sims a day on Armourer (13 shards to go) and Dark Trooper (225 shards to go) but after them I have no other characters or ships to farm. So I usually spend the rest of my energy on Kyrotech farming.

Are you sure about the 20% droprate? I thought they were supposed 10%? Or is it the g12+ gear pieces that has 10%?

The best balance for me in terms of time and cost is to do 50% farming and 50% crystal purchasing. If you can can make it to Arena top 1 regularly, it's a reasonable investment. Otherwise getting g13 via pure farming takes too long.

Always try to get the "more bang for your buck". So since each kyro comes around at 28 crystals for 1 salvage. If you get 2 kyros on 1 50 crystals refresh you in a sense saved 8 crystals. If you got 3 kyros from that 1 refresh you saved 34 crystals.

3×28= 84
84-50=34

I personally when having to farm kyros only do 50 crystal refresh when going after them. If you do 100 cyrstal refreshes you have to get 4 in that run in order to not waste crystals. With doing 50 crystal refreshes, you only need to get 2 per run to not waste crystals, anymore you get its just crystals saved. RNG can still be bad though and you'll get runs were 0 kyros pop. Then you'll get some were 4 or 5 kyros can pop on a 50 crystals refresh

Thanks all for the various opportunities. I sure haven't seen 20% yet but if that's the average, I just need to keep trying. That will also make it worthwhile with the 50 crystals refreshes.

I cannot reach the top of squad arena, but I get in top 5 of Fleet arena regularly, which helps with the income.

Thanks!

Didn't know this existed. I'll have to give it a try !
