Double Drop rates(so far, Vet Han included) (MERGE)

Crazylazyguy

Those are my drop rates on the doubles so far:
Veteran Han - 98 sims - 46 shards.
First Order Storm Trooper(For those preparing for bb-8) - 55 sims(on hard nodes) - 60+ shards.

How's your farm going?

1500 cantina energy -> 66 Vet Shards

Globuhl

Rofl... Good ol'RNG on a rampage. Classic.

I gave it a try and burnt 264 cantina energy (max energy plus one refresh) on vet Han's node so 16 draws and I got... 2 shards.

That won't do it at all so full stop for me. I'll wait.

Hasn't started here yet. *shrugs*

GreenGoblin96

900 cantina energy got me 45 Han shards, slightly above average

DigitalLime2

Spent around 500 cantina energy and got about 70 talia shards

Rujedi

When does double drop start I don’t see 2x yet

dad2my3

300 crystals for three refreshes got me two shards earlier today. I took a break and waited for the cooldown on my luck to recharge. But double drops aren’t active for me yet.

Winstar

In six refreshes and ~200+ natural cantina energy, no double drops yet, I got 15 vet hans, and 10 vet chew, simming 2-3 at a time, alternating nodes since they been farmable.

Thought I'd try my luck on the Mod Challenge. My 2 x 5* critical damage mods were speed arrow and offence triangle! Only white I'm afraid but with those primaries who's complaining

Actually, it should be 11 P.M. since the game doesn't observe daylight savings time. Works for me!

I know, I know, let’s no beat the bad rng dead horse...

But over 900 saved cantina energy for 22 total vet chewie shards is bad even by my standards

Stevesaint74

Over 900 energy.. 22 total vet chewie shards.

Winstar

did you sim 900 all at once?

Stevesaint74

No did it 3s. When I got zeroe shards in back to back 3s I stopped, did a GW battle and went back.

No science behind my strategy lol

Ouch. I use the same strategy... a bit worried now. Double drops starts in a few hours my time zone.

Z3r0_G0H

So I've been debating who to farm, and these are the toons I've come up with
Farmboy Luke
Hera
Old Ben
Finn
Kylo
Royal Guard
CHS
Death Trooper
So who should I farm? I would farm the vets, but I'm not there yet

Well. True. But I live in a zone that doesn't have daylight saving time. Forgot about that

ReVenGe_in_MiNd

very happy with double drops, 9 shards shy of 5* vet han.

@Mixelplux I’ve no shame in wearing one if it helps

Double drops of zero is still zero

Had some presaved energy for cantina. Vets were both 10/65. Spent approx 600 energy and got Chewie to 5*. Spent 200 saved energy and 3 100 crystal refreshes on Han. He’s now 28/65, so got 18. Chewie seems to have a much better drop rate.

Well I'll be trying him tomorrow I guess, Han's drop rate is ridiculously low - 1600 energy for 46 shards(doubled) so in reality it would've been 1600 energy for 23 shards..

Lazerbeem

1920 energy. 92 Han shards.
