Profit mining... Is it profitable?

Well, let's do the math.

Level 7 stage simulation of light or dark battles will cost you 20 energy units and will provide one shard if you are lucky and possibly training droids (2 or 3 star) plus 1440 of money... At a higher level of refill (100 crystals, most people probably do not spend more than that) you would get 120 energy units, which means you would get 1440x6=8640 coins... So you cost of coins by simulating the levels is 86 coins per crystal (at 100 per refil) or 172 coins per crystal (at 50 per refil)...

Profit mining at tier 2 gives you 8400 base (with chance for 3x, which I haven't had happen to me) at 24 energy units per spin... Assuming you are unlucky like me and get X1 only, 100 crystals refill of 120 energy would net you 5 events which would give you 8400x5=42000 or 420 per crystal (if x3 then 126,000) and 84,000 or 840 per crystal at 50 crystals per refill.

So you get x4.8 times more coins but no droids, XP, or shards...

But if you just bought 65,625 coins for 85 crystals it would cost you 782 coins per crystal... Buttom line use free energy only for events at profit mining... And if you are already refilling energy and paying crystals for it then instead buy coins at the store for crystals... Profit mining is useless and really only wastes your time (unless you want to try out your toons.)

Sorry if it was confusing...
