Purple ability mats

350? you are joking right ?

I am not even sure if that is possible unless you have been playing since November and only ever maxed out 5 toons (or bought a lot of Aurodiums).

Sorry... 348. :) Only 275 on my 2nd account.

Not joking. I have about 10 characters maxed out. I'm totally F2P. Complete GW every day, do one Cantina refresh, and do the ability mat challenges when they come up.

I used to have the issue of not having enough, and then stopped just spending them as I got them once I got my arena and GW teams maxed out. Now, once I get a character to 7*, I start to level them up and as I do, I upgrade their abilities as they become available. I definitely get more purple mats than I can spend this way. No point in leveling up and upgrading a 3* character. Wait until they are actually useful, then add the ability upgrades.

not trying to rain on your parade, but what is the purpose of having 348 purple mats now, as a direct result of not having enough earlyer in the game ? Decreasing the demand because the supply is too low is a solid strategy, but when you end up having a mayor surplus something is going wrong.

that said, spending purple mats on toons you dont use is obviously a bad idea.

Challenge, GW, Cantina battles and buying them for raid points or via shipments (for crystals)?
Not sure about the last one tho and that's definately not worth it in my book.

Pull out your wallet drop $10 buy it in shipments immediately, or grind/stress for a month or 2. I honestly prefer the stressful route. I'm going for a bald look and nothing makes me loose hair quicker then the rng this game produces.

Challenges is most profitable, I got them in Cantina and GW too. Not a problem anymore...

Yeah...they're not in shipments. Wish they were. Or better yet that we could buy them with GW gems. Because I have a ton of them and basically no one I want to farm.

Higher level cantina drops em at a high rate.

In my rough estimation:
One energy fill on level 1 cantina drops about 0.3 purple mats.
On level 6 about 2.1 mats. They add up quick.

Cantina, GW and challenges. The highest challenge drops something like 8-12 for three rounds.
