Razor Crest Shards
After the current Conquest is complete, will those of us battling hard mode continue to get 44 razor crest shards for the next 2 conquests or are those shards coming out of the crates before then? Curious so we know how we will need to farm them.
Thanks!
Thanks!

We do know from the SWGOH Events discord server that CAT will be reduced to 44 shards after the next conquest
Feel free to interpret this information as you will
So no worries, it's no big deal. You'll still be able to farm it if you don't complete, or if you want to save your conquest bucks for later.
EDIT: Ha! Somehow while I was cropping the image my tablet thought I was writing a red line, but that red line wound up right next to the important part. It's kismet.
If thats true, then i would just buy the 5 shards now to lock it in. But if they suddenly move razor crest to merchants or something else, then im not sure what the most cost effective way to get it would be. Sorry, shoulda mentioned that im a f2p penny pincher, trying to maximize value here lol.
Nic’s post makes me think we should be safe with the 44 in crate for a while tho, since theyre saying it will be several months for the 3rd new character to come along after asohka.
Several months probably means ‘3 if we manage to keep up the pace, but let’s say several to do give us some wiggle room’. 3 months to unlock character A, then he moves to the second place when B appears, then 3 months later C appears, A says bye bye and B takes his spot as secondary character, and so on. So in this case, Razor will be remove from crates after next Conquest, when Cat will become the secondary character. So you won’t be missing 3 shards but 47 shards. No way to be absolutely sure though…
Yeah, thats what i was thinking might happen. Would be so much better if they could delay it by one more conquest so that wouldnt be the case, but i think your calculations seem right. Otherwise thatd be a super easy farm for a ship and a character, each time they rotate. Would love for it to be true though.
There are no indications that Razor will be removed next Conquest.
From what he is saying. In the 4th conquest CAT will reduce to 44 shards.
They will both remain in that state until a new toon is introduced to the Conquest release system. Is my understanding from the information we see.
From what’s written (posted by Nic in this post), the only way the amount awarded by prizebox is reduced is when a new unit appears in conquest (1. When we release a new unit…). They didn’t write anything about other changes until ‘2. Several months later a third new unit…’ . The explanation seemed pretty straightforward : Lots of shards for A, less for B, then a new unit becomes A, pushes the old A to B, and the old B leaves the prize box. Maybe I missed more recent informations though.
My understanding was that we will get a new toon after the next conquest, and CAT will be reduced to 44 shards and will take RC's current position, and RC will be moved out of End of Event prize box
Imagine four characters on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the character nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of characters and takes the place of the first character. The formerly first character becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.
Errrr… you lost me ^^
I think we’re on the same page, I’ll try:
Alan has a seat in 1st class, Brian a seat in 2nd class. It stays that way until Charles enters the train, several months later. Charles takes Alan’s seat in 1st class. Alan takes Brian’s seat in 2nd class, Brian leaves the train.
1st class: lots of shards
2nd class: reduced number of shards
Because since then they explained the new cadence (see nicwester’s post on this page).
I'm not confident we will see this roll out at that pace right now.
This. RC is not really part of the outlined cadence, except for the fact that it will be booted out when a new character is added to that process.
I don't know what this means but I love it anyway.
Why else would they reduce CAT shards to 44 after the next one?
To make people that can't get them feel better maybe.
This. They could, because why not, but it’s not what was explained.
There is a saying in France: ‘Only stupid people don’t change their minds.’ Maybe what was written was the initial plan, then they realized ‘so, if we can’t keep us the pace of a new character every 3 months, it will be a shard fest for some that will stay 4-5 months at 1st place and not the case for others later on ? I smell pitchforks.’ and then decide to rotate every 3 months no matter what, even if it means having no characters in the 1st class seat. I guess we’ll find out in about 2 weeks and maybe during an interview ^^
Look up Zybourne Clock when you have a moment to kill. It was a thing in the early innocent days of the internet.
We can wait and see.
save credits for ahsoka (max shards at the moment all bought/max prize)
razor on 11/100 with option to buy 10 more (800 credits) proly first unlock in game but then there will be no buffer for ahsoka, would need extra conquest to unlock her...heh..
Buy gear.
Buy signal data.
Buy mod slicing mats.
Lots of constructive things to do with that currency that don't involve bragging about it on a forum.
