Things I'd wish I'd known when I started playing SWGOH

I think I may have just discovered this reading your comment, so instead of buying shards from crystals should get them refreshing? Farming vets at moment so don't want to waste anymore if I don't have to. Never did the maths to be honest

That is why I still have around 3000, I do as many refreshes as I feel like doing planning around when I know I'll get bonus crystals. That said there's no such thing as panic farming in my game, there is literally nothing in the game I need "right now". I'll maybe blow a refresh if I'm close to a full gear piece though, I've been through 300 crystals trying to get one more stun gun etc before.

GW is no longer reliable in that regard as node 12 is increasingly often unreachable (thanks Oba....Nest).

I just realised another thing:

I wish I'd known that retreating in GW lets you keep all the chars you entered into that fight with :)

With 3 refreshes a day, you can get on average 10-11 vet shards in 24 hours (120 natural regen +45 bonus + 360 refresh energy = 525 energy, 525/16 = 32.8 battles, 32.8*0.33 drop rate = 10.94). So about 30 crystals/shard. In shipments, they are 80 crystals/shard.

Good for manipulating the RNG for sure. Retreat, swap a toon or two, enter, retreat again and put back who you had before.

Wish I understood how important that time zone setting was. Would have set it to Greenland time so that I could take #1 in the arena everyday with little to no competition. Instead I’m in Central Timezone and have to compete with approximately 100x more people because CG fails to balance the arena payout hours.

Buying Rey every time that she showed up in the Guild shop. I now have Rey at 6* & 80/100, and her ship at something like 4* & 40/65 . . . I will end up with a lot of extra Rey's from the node where you get her and her ship.

Did the same thing with Kylo Ren Unmasked :D
