i hear you!
i find it fun to start out in a good way tho, i dont want to end up in the smack middle of my shard (where i am stuck now, becuase of a long break i took). so now i rerolled to a new account, going for that sweet sweet phoenix.
i dont think i will be able to make the new shard anytime soon. i have alot of cantina farming ahead of me still.
not necceserally aiming for top 10, i just want to be up there competing for some more crystals. after all, im not going to whale, no income for that kind of play.
So now its just minor details im working out, like how much energy i need to hoard before hitting 28. And whether or not i should farm JC (hard node) in the meantime, meaning i would have to spend 60 energy each day while hoarding. any advice?
