What was your drop rate for the vets?

After 4 days of 3 refreshes per day, I am around 26% (I know it’s not a reliable sample size). I’m not sure if I’m going to make it with even a 33% drop rate (Vet Han 4* 10/65 and Vet Chewie 26/65). Based on my current drop rate I need to spend 700+ hours energy per day. What were your drop rates for the full vet farm (emphasis on full, not just one refresh)?

  • It took me 5 months to farm them. On May 4th last year with the double drops I got 54 shards for 1800 crystals. Both were okay amounts of time, and with your current amount you might not make the next RJT in April/May.
  • Feels like chewy has been going on forever. Han didn’t seem to take anywhere near as long.
    Where are the Stun Guns?

    I've been farming them for quite a while now, 3 refreshes every day and normal cantina energy. My current drop rate is 21% for chewy and 19% for han solo. My Chewy is at 6 stars and Han at 4 stars. Its a very slow grind.
  • The Veterans are the most painful grind in the game. I can't even look at my veterans without feeling a small sense of disgust.

    Sometimes, I send one of the veterans in solo against the Rancor to get eaten, just to remind them of how painful that grind was.

    32% for one of them - 35% for the other.
  • About 33% for each
  • When I did it back in the day the drops rates seemed very good to me. Better so than most.

    you are legend :D
  • It takes a while regardless because it is a 16 energy farm and the vets are notoriously stingy nodes. Do 3 refreshes per day and it'll go much faster

    About 38.17% or around that, for Vet Chewie. As for Mission being "worse", I'm current at 37.27%, so by definition that's worse, I guess.
  • Has the next JTR been announced, or is your calculations based off assumed drop date?

    I learned an important lesson on farming back when I was farming the vets, a lesson that is helping now with the KOTOR toons.

    Don't pay attention to drop rate. Don't even look at how many shards you get. Just sim the battles and after a few months, you'll realize you're finally at 100/100. It's much nicer to accept you'll never finish and then be surprised with a finish, rather than paying attention to the 2 shards or so you get a day :sweat_smile:

    Just off of the assumed date

    I was able to farm them when they did double drops right before the JTR event started so it didnt take long.

    If I had a lot of time I wouldn’t worry about the drop rate, but I have a tight time frame. If I’m not going to make it with 3 refreshes then I can ease off, use some crystals on hard nodes, and not worry.
  • To answer the question, just plain awful. Although Badstilla is giving Vet Han a run for his money.
  • 38.8% for the last 116 shards. I did not track the drop rate before that, but at the time everyone was complaining so I decided to get scientific about it.

    @EventineElessedil that's fancy! I just manually type them up.

    Based on all my data since I started tracking all my Cantina farms:

    1201/3219 = 37.31% and that's 6 different characters on various energy nodes.
