the most energy you've spent farming a single 0/50 gear?

reizse

the lowest for me was 2000 for the mk6 chiewab syringe or 'hairdryer'

the highest for me so far is 5850 for 47/50 of the mk7 biotech implants or 'eyeballs.' i hope to finish it sometime early next week

None. I ignore them

I don't keep track but I'm sure it's been a bundle...

I don't keep track that closely, but I can tell you the Mk 5 stun gun (purple blow dryers) are the bane of my existence. SEVERAL refreshes where I went 0/12. I've gone 1/24 and 1/36 numerous times. It's been bad enough where now I will only do it 5 times - if I get one I continue but if I go 0/5 I move on to something else, it's too demoralizing. The true drop rate is probably like 25%, but to me it seems like 10%.

i kept track of the first 3 hairdryers i farmed when the cap was first lifted to 70.
2000, 2500 and 3250. after that i stopped updating my spreadsheets.
the first eyeball i farmed, i didn't track, but it felt ridiculous. on my second set, i documented it and i'm at 5850, or a drop rate of 8%. yikes

When i stocked up energy before cap, i got 50/50 Hairdryers with about 1.6k.
Apart from that i can't keep track

that's pretty lucky and nice. i haven't had a day over 15%. i guess i have to have terrible drops somewhere since my shard drop rates are decent

7500 energy

More than 7500

Buying 1000 energy worth a day to hard farm some items showed me a drop rate of 20-21% on purple items. Meaning you could go 500 energy and get nothing.

Deadded

it took me 3 days to get from 6 stun cuffs to 50. each day i did two energy refreshes and on the 3rd day I did an extra energy refresh, so 720 for the 3 days and 840 for the enrgy refreshes. 1560 energy. (oops, also those 45 energy you get each day at some hours)

Thelubricant

I wish I would have kept track as well. And the 33% drop rate seems like 10% a lot of the time the way I toss crystals at refreshes with little success.

7500 energy

I got 32 cuffs which took a week of farming (few refreshes plus all the day of auto energy refreshing) and it worked out to be lower than 10% drop rate.

Then I guess the game felt sorry for me and not too long after, I got 30+ hair dryers in one day that ended up being just under 80% drop rate. They've dropped back to 'normal' of around 20 to 30%.

I'm currently on my 48 /50 cuffs again for another farm session, then the long term play of getting hair dryers from challenges and farming for about a zillion crafts needed haha

Have not farmed any, and don't plan to do so. Farming for 50 pieces falls outside of my definition of fun. It's not something that I plan to spend my limited time on.

If the game starts to offer gear in other ways as rewards or for sale, I'll consider it.

WildGrunt

I just went on 3 shards out of 240 energy

reizse

on my mobile now but once I get back home I can post the spreadsheet if anyone is interested in the misery of my farming

Farming gear is for chumps.

The only 50 piece gear bits I have are from level 7 hard nodes for shards.

reizse

I'm the biggest chump then!

These things. Took 20 rolls before I got my first one, or at least felt like it.

took me forever to get 50 MK5 stun guns. If only those slots required MK4s
