New player f2p path

I’m thinking of building out a farming guide for new players f2p and incorporating the new starting characters.

Would be good to get a few of us to work on it together with a detailed farming plan for each energy / store and how to progress at different stages.

In general I don’t think much changes, still should focus on GEOS but makes going into Padme directly after easier since you can level Ahsoka and JKA as you go.

Also I’d probably have Imperial Troopers as an earlier team as well

So, for me, the best early fleet path is Geos + Vulture Droid, this comp is stupidly strong early, and should secure you a top 10 fleet spot for quite some time. And it transitions greatly into a malevolence fleet.

So that leaves us with needing 2-3 more ships for the zeta challenge. Dark Side you do get the Tie Fighter to 5*, and if you do one reset on vulture droid for the first month, you should at least get it to 4* till 78. So we need 2 more ships for the zeta challenge itself at 5*, and id just do ahsoka and consular, as they show up in the GW and Fleet store very often, thus are the easiest to get. Wouldnt put any gear/and levels into both the pilots and ships though.

As you can see, there is 0 of he ships you need for SLKR in that plan, the only one you could consider is the silencer, but you might not have the cantina energy to get him before 78, with having to farm Ezra, Hera, Soldier and Spy before, and also kinda wanting to start on t3m4, Mission vao, and then at 83 the GBA.

Then, xanadu blood, command shuttle and HT are all non accelerated farms, and you cant start them early, becouse youd give up on your character farming, that you need to do, to get JKR, DR and Malak as soon as you can.
And then, when you can start your GL farms, you need to fully farm thoose ships, and then wait a few more months to get the finalizer itself. That just delays SLKR quite a bit, unless you just buy the finalizer shards for crystals.

Meanwhile, while going for SEE, you get IT, that will open you up to two assault battles, give you a great CPIT team, and in general are a super good team. You also get a EP Team, and a relic vader. all thoose help you greatly in GAC etc.

For the raid soloing aspect, it only matters, if you cant get top 10 otherwise. This path sets you up with JKR and Troopers, and both are great teams for HSith, that might together get you a top 10 slot, depending on your guild obviously. so it might not even matter, that you cant solo stuff with SLKR

Phoenix -> Jedi -> Geos -> JKR -> DR -> Malak -> SEE

I think the first part of this from PS through Geos is set, but would be good to then have 2 options for the next path...and try to see what is more efficient / best payoff for cost.

Path 1: Go straight into Padme after Geos.
- You will have 4/5 of the team right away (Padme, JKA, Ahsoka and GMY). GK may be a bit off depending how your guild situation is, but can use Fives as a placeholder
- You don't have to farm up the 2x OR teams on this route and so have your Cantina energy for full Geo focus and potentially Moff Gideon
- Can work on a Troopers team after your Geo character farms are finished
- Can get Ahsoka & Umbarran as your other 2 ships as they are easy store purchases and you will have their
- Geo as main fleet to start with GR as 2nd, and can decide between Nego & Malo later
- Downside: You canibalize the Jedi team you had

Path 2: Go the JKR > DR > Malak route after Geos.
- Two very strong teams that will serve well across many game modes for a long time
- Downside: No further fleet synergy
- Downside: Lots of farming to unlock for 2 teams you won't really use much after, and may hinder your gear farming speed

Then after either of these, I'd say SEE is the way to go as f2p.
Though I may say go for Path 1 of Padme first, followed by Path 2, and then into SEE.

Geos first - focus on fleet. I will say that again. Focus on fleet. If you do this, you can get top 10 fleet arena. I've seen it happen multiple times.
Then work on a Padme team - you can take them as high as you want gear-wise depending on your goals. From here you can get basically whatever you want - a GL, Revans, anything really.

I'd like to ask if 2 others can help me on this plan:

If anyone has the time

If I were to do one way, and each other person another way, (path 1 --> SEE, path 2 --> SEE, path 1 --> path 2 --> SEE

Following from the assistance Avra gave me in the thread I started I have been going with the Phoenix (already at 7 stars / gear 7) into Geos (all at 5*s other than Sun Fac) and aiming for Padme next. I'm intending on JKR then SEE from there. I'm on level 70 at the moment.

The plan above is really close to what I'm doing.

From the farming list provided above I found that I couldn't get Poggle and Tarkin levelled up at the same time as Kanan and Zeb by level 65 (I got them maxed between levels 67-69 along with the rest of the Phoenix team), so I think that may be an over-estimate of available currency to be farming both. That or I started on a proper plan too late.

I've been farming Tarkin and Fives recently as I've been abandoning the idea of ST Han and looking at Fives as an alternative tank for the GR team once I have Padme online in case GK isn't ready and in case I want to have GK in the JKR team once that's online. I may be wrong doing that but I'll find out I guess.

I'm on the second part of the farming plan pretty much as per the list above though I am also farming Anakin alongside Bastila Shan, Bindo, Vulture Droid and Poggle (Vulture and Poggle are the main priorities here). I got a head start on KRU and Tie Silencer during the recent double-drop events and have Kylo at 6 and Silencer at 5, and doing geos for my cantina farms instead at the moment. I may go back and finish them if I get time before level 83 but my goal with them is using Silencer for Tarkin's ship and the Zeta event. More likely that will be some JKR requirements instead. I don't have Bastila Shan unlocked yet for Fleet so I'm doing Tie Fighter for my second Fleet hard mode farm.

I haven't been farming Ewoks yet in guild store, keeping an eye out for Geos when they show up and getting more relevant gear when I'm overflowing with tokens. Possibly because I'm not farming enough gear using regular energy. I've got loads of energy there so I may be doing that part wrong. As I have all of my Squad Arena currency going into Tarkin I'm not working on Nute and Leia. Again, user error may be a factor.

Happy to provide some updates as I go if that's useful.

I did the same, but you can get Silencer, and prioritise it over the Geos since Phoenix is starter team. But I get u there. I’ll do a bit of thinking and come back to ya.

Then, xanadu blood, command shuttle and HT are all non accelerated farms, and you cant start them early, becouse youd give up on your character farming, that you need to do, to get JKR, DR and Malak as soon as you can.
And then, when you can start your GL farms, you need to fully farm thoose ships, and then wait a few more months to get the finalizer itself. That just delays SLKR quite a bit, unless you just buy the finalizer shards for crystals.

Xanadu, Command, HT would be = 300 energy. JKR, DR = 400 fleet energy + 200 normal.
I’m going to elaborate later.

Meanwhile, while going for SEE, you get IT, that will open you up to two assault battles, give you a great CPIT team, and in general are a super good team. You also get a EP Team, and a relic vader. all thoose help you greatly in GAC etc.

CPit is far away … forget it. Otherwise I agree here.

This is true ig. But if ur guild has >10 SLKRs?

It’s 20:09 here, so tomo afternoon I have time and will make my response more detailed

Ok. So, Intimmydation, can I count you in? If you send your discord id to me in a dm, I can contact you more easily.
