Purple ability mats

What is the quickest way to acquire purple ability mats? Its taking me ages to get them.
  • 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.

    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.

    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.
