Where do you get your gold gear?

cw8

Trying to get my first G11 character since Jan this year. I'm left with 2 pieces of gold gear that are 50 pieces each. Except that the droprates seem to be horrible for them, not sure if they're worse than stun guns and cuffs but it seems like it. 200 energy for 1 gold piece yesterday...Now there's 25 piece shipment for 375 crystals and I'm not sure if it's worth the purchase or should I just stick to buying raid pieces with crystals.

Well.. mostly i buy them from shipment with crystal. I relying reward from aat raid before, but i am very dissapointed bcause all i get is challenge gear.

U ask people, i'm sure their answer is shipment.. because they want us to buy gold gear with xbxgareifjcbckvpahayacsndkdgv$$$

Some gold gear is farmable in light and dark side battle. Depends what you're looking for.

Farming gold gear isn’t worth it when it’s 750 crystals for 50 in the shop (if it ever appears).

It wouldn’t be worth it even at purple drop rates, but gold gear and the other new purple gear seems to have much lower drop rates (hopefully that gets fixed/improved in he near future).

From the HAAT.

Also, from the nodes. I farmed 30 something eyeball salvage for my Shoretrooper over the last two days, which is pretty average droprate for me.

Gold gear is only from shipments. Collecting 50 salvages from nodes or waiting for them to drop is ridiculous. Same goes for the Mk7 Shield Generators.

Depends what one you need. Some nodes like Nihilus also have gold gear. 2 birds and all that if you don't already have Nihilus.

Raids will always be the main source with shipments but when I'm at 47/50, saving up crystals isn't always the way to go.

Shipments. They're cheaper then purple gear and have a worse drop rate if u farm. Makes sense to but the cheaper ones with crystals and farm the ones with a better drop rate

This. At least they added partials to the shop.

I generally spend 2 refreshes and lunch refresh farming golden eyeballs. I recently went 1/26. Its not a problem. Vader only needs 2 sets of 50 to finish g10. Should be done in about 7 weeks.

Meanwhile my raids are constantly dropping g5 and g6 furnace salvage on me. I have several hundred of each.

Those 25 mk8 biotech components for 375 crystals needs it's own permanent tile in shipments. Just saying devs..

Tank raid is terrible, get the same thing or challenge gear 90% of the time. Usually buy it from shipments or fleet shipments

Droprates are horrible from farming nodes and AAT Raids don't drop very valuable items. However, the new currency store will have G11 & G12 items. This conversation may become moot for the majority (there will always be those who don't get enough).

Saving crystals is the most efficient route though!

Don't get your hopes up! 99% sure they're talking about the gear that's currently locked out of G11.

My guess is that it will be more like the guild shop is for g9/g10 gear(Rancor gear) 2 pieces at a time. Which isn't going to be helpful at all..

Shipments. Gold gear is super cheap to boot compared to other gear that is bottleneck.

Torzek

Shipments. I get nothing but junk from HAAT rewards. Not counting Kenobi shards, of course.

I'm 99% sure they are targeting Cuffs, Guns, and maybe Carbanitis given the request and the acknowledgment of looking at the gear need of players. However, my expectations aren't too high. Of course, if it's challenge gear I'll riot.
