Crystals

Gaurdian003

What does everyone use their crystals for? I made the mistake of saving mine and bought the fleet team pack and got hosed. So what does everyone buy with theirs?

Arena refreshes



OH, and if there is something left, cantina refreshes to get mods. And If I feel rich, I buy gear

niko2018

Refresh energy, normal and cantina if u get enough. Hoard the rest to buy stuffs like gears or shards

AKHatbloke

I save up for gear

Matke

Currently farming toons, so as many cantina refreshes I can get. When Im done with toons, will probably save up for gear.

Nightlores

3x energy refresh each day. What is left I use for either gear or long farm toon shards from shipments.

Sirjam

I saved 10k crustals and then wasted them on Ashoka tano fulcrum... got like 30 shards...

CryGonJinn

Gear (period)

Kyno

Gear.

If I have a project toon that is in shipments I will buy those but only when I am over a certain number of crystals.

Honestly right now I'm saving everything. Things are incoming and we all need to be fluid.

Refreshes that is all. Baze

Please tell me you don't mean you refresh hard nodes?

You're gonna have a bad time.

If you use your crystals to buy anything other than gear, you're doing it wrong. Energy refreshes are secondary, save it for gear.

You need at least 1 energy refresh for your 600. After that, ok.

Depending on arena rank, just plan to save 100 or 200 a day and you can use the rest for gear that's 1 piece of gear every week or 2

Crazylazyguy

In order as follows
1. Gear
2. One 50 crystal refresh every other day for the 600 tickets
3. Rarely for character shards(only if I need 4-8 and I can't wait)

DarthBarron

Like everyone else: Gear, Refreshes, and the occasional farm from the shipment store. Never on packs.

Those of you who put gear above energy refreshes, is that because you're already lvl 85? I see energy refreshes as more important earlier in the game when you're trying to lvl to unlock features, better challenges, abilities/gear possibilities for characters etc

That would be 2400 crystals if you just used the shipment but it wasn't possible I think...


Using my energy for refresh & gear
50/50/50
100/100/100

Not really, it is still not worth it to rush to hit max lvl. Yes you want to unlock tables and stuff, but no real reason to go past 2 refreshes (maybe 3 while we have 3 cheap ones) and maybe 1 cantina to build up some mods

Spending energy to get shards of a toon.

rawman

Refresh energy, arena refreshes, hard to farm gear. But the last two are only relevant if you are top-arena. If not just do energy refreshes and maybe a gear purchase from time to time if you saved up some crystals. Packs are only interesting if you invest money and want to buy a lot of them.

Baldusi

If you are under lvl 85, energy and cantina energy. Spend that on farming no more than three toons, gear and mods. I usually spend Cantina: workdays toons, weekends mods. Energy is 4 hard nodes (so 12 battles), the rest on gear. Once you are lvl 85, run the numbers between farming the gear with energy vs buying it outright with gems. Cantina use is still the same for me, since you can't buy mods like that.
Personally, I'm doing all energy refreshes (normal and cantina), but just because we are trying to get that 7th star for HAAT on many teams. If I was sorta done farming toons, I would be doing mods with cantina refreshes and saving the rest for gear. You can't have enough good mods.

Thor_Odinson1

Refreshes. Cantina and regular. Gear after that.

Smurf_Fett

When everyone says gear, do you mean the packs or buying the finished ones from shipments?

Finished ones from shipments. Gotta be careful there and double check you're not buying the wrong one. Mk3 drain covers for 300 are my personal favorite.

J_Starseed

Normal energy refreshes. Occasional cantina refreshes. Occasional arena refreshes. Gear from shipments. And character shards (currently Baze).

The stuff on the top shelves in shipments.

Zephyrus

Farming mods, always farming mods. You need to evolve your capabilities as well as optimal raid mods too.

Gear. I farm 80-85% percent of all my gear so far with 2x and 3x refresh. Always comes out cheaper than 1400 in store.

Arena refresh if necessary and profitable.

Osh

Things like Mk3 Holoprojector costs 300 crystals, much more cost effective to buy one than buying refreshes to farm it. Especially with RNG.

Also gear like Mk5 Furnace is a steal at 1400, same for the Cuffs. I'm guessing you would spend way more on refreshes if you were after those items.

Would love to see some detailed research on this so if anyone needs a project...
