Purple ability mats

Chirpa cantina node been dropping them like crazy

Higher level cantina nodes can be hit or miss but I got 9 in two refreshes Old Ben's highest cantina node on Sunday. Normally I get one or two in the same amount of energy. RNG is RNG...

350? you are joking right ?

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.

Thanks heaps guys.

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.

Nothing in particular, except when I decide to ramp up a new character, I can instantly max out all their abilities. I did that last night with Ventress once I got her to 7* and up to level 70, and still have 348 left. No point in spending the ability mats until the character is actually usable. Until Raids came along, I didn't really bother to level up a lot of new characters, as I could easily beat GW with my main squad and mostly use the same arena team. Now I'm working on taking the high damage characters I have unlocked and sitting at level 1 and building them up one by one so I can use them in Raids.

GruloRen's strategy works... I had nearly 200 until I got vets up to scratch skill wise.

High cantina nodes are where its at for me. Just farm vets/any other char from 16 energy cantina node and you'll get more than you need, less than you can use.

This is a 2 year old necro guys.

A good advice is still a good advice. ;P

To the OP, stop spending them unnecessarily. I.e. if you are playing this game still lol.

Thread closed. Let's please not necro threads, thanks.
