You know, I don't want to sound like the crazy conspiracy theory guy, but what if the furnace shows up in shipments consistently until you buy it? That would make at least a little sense. It's there to taunt you. "Buy me!" After 2 weeks you buy it, and it becomes random after that. They want everyone to buy the first one, but after that they become scarce so whales don't load up.

It's weird I saw three within the first couple days after the update. Passed on the first one and got two the following day back to back.
Haven't seen one since. Feels like they're blocked from my shipments now.
I went two weeks without seeing one.. now I have seen 4 in the last 3 refreshes. The RNG is real.
I kind of dread seeing another one.. because, crystals.
Is there some kind of bug that won't put furnaces in some peoples shipments?
Another refresh just went by without one in it.
It seems no one knows how it works since the devs won't comment on it.
Since so many people are spending a lot of crystals on refreshes, it would be nice if they disclosed exactly what people are gambling on. A 1/50 chance at seeing a furnace? 1/100? Different chances for iOS and Android?
No one knows. It's like playing the lottery without knowing the odds when even lottery tickets have the odds printed on the back.
I got my first furnace in the shop after refreshing for a week, after the first purchase they start showing up more often in the shop after daily refreshes.
I'm not blowing crystals on refreshes. I've seen exactly 3 and I've purchased 2. I'm not sure how many have actually showed up since one of the refreshes for me is between the hours of midnight and like 5 or 6AM. I'm in bed at that time and no, I'm not staying up or waking up early to check shipments. Forget that.
Now, with everyone posting this, this becomes somewhat of a paradox. A lot of the forum cries about the company being greedy, yet these furnaces A: aren't cheap and B: really rare. If it was pure greed, wouldn't they double down on the drop rate of furnaces? That makes the most sense, since I've spent actual money to get them each time I've purchased them.
I bought my first one a few days ago and gave it to IG-86 to take him to tier IX and had one from pre-crafting which I gave to RG. Boy is it a HUGE difference. Just hitting that tier upgrade button gave RG effectively 9k more health not to mention whatever else it bumped, and my 86 is now one-shooting pig guards on tier 5 raids just off his basic attack.
They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose, Nor spoke, nor moved their eyes; It had been strange, even in a dream, To have seen those dead men rise.
Man this is getting old. Just got another refresh without one.
Good news is I just got the 5 stack of mk10 holo lens in guild shipments which will allow me to craft a furnace. So ONLY need 5 more to advance my toons.

RG doesn't use a furnace. You must mean droid caller and I need one bad.

This is indeed a RNG game! Game on!
I haven't seen rey in guild shipments in 4 or 5 days. It's cool though since mine is 7*
I see her everyday

You still crying over there?

Are you buying shipment refreshes? The first two are worth it for the gear pieces that cost credits. That's 2 more chances daily at seeing a furnace.
Make Zader Great Again!

And it's still easier to save crystals from arena and wait for mk5 furnace to show up with out refreshes rather than farm one from raids.

I actually tried reinstalling last week after reading a post about how many some people were finding thinking my client was messed up.
That is crazy bad luck or something. Open a ticket with support.
2 people never got furnaces, but just got their 1st last weekend.
I got 2 initially, but have not received Any since that day.
Crazy! I seen like, I dunno 5+ and bought none. Wish I could pass them to Warmonkey.

Sorry you been having such rough lucks.
