Will Mace be 5*?

My Mace Windu is currently at 46/80 shards. I started farming him two or three days ago, getting one cantina refill a day. Do you think he will hit 5* by the time the event comes or goes?

    Not unless you get incredibly lucky or the event comes next week instead of this week. You need 100 more shards for 5*. But you may not need him at 5* for the start of the event, just its end, and that is doable in 10 days.
    Quit 7/14/16. Best of luck to all of you.

    You are at about 8 shards per day, needing 99 shards. Hence, around 12-13 days at the current farming rate till he hits 5*

    But it shouldn't bother you - you have to farm mace anyway, as you will need Jedis at 7* eventually
  • Thanks, I think I'll be able to pull it off by the end if I'm lucky. And I'm not going to activate him until he can reach five in case I get a lucky Bronzium.
  • It'll be close. The update comes out this week and lasts for a week. You'll probably need to average 10 a day and fall a little short. You could try to get the hard nodes if you really want him
  • Good luck to you. I'm only getting one Mace shard for every 10-15 battles. I'll never get him open.

    He won't be ready when the event starts, but if the event lasts for a week, he might be.
    I'm in a similar positon, slightly better. My Mace is 60/80, but I'm using a refill on him and a refill on Barris, (plus hard nodes on both). Barris is at 4* and 29/65. Once she hit 5* I'd use that refill on Mace. I'm not sure how hard to gear up he is. Actually I stopped to farm QGJ and resumed with Ashoka, who is 4* and purple geared, because I wasn't sure I could gear up both QGJ and Mace at same time before the event ends.

    I had Mace at 4* on the day of the patch announcement. He was 5/65 to 5*. He is now 62-65 to 5* (should get there today.). I did do a couple days of two refreshes for cantina and his hard mode every day. He is my last Jedi to get to 5* (that is reasonably leveled). I also got his gear leveled to VII and started working on his abilities although they are all at 3 except Smite which is at 4 now. Cantina node farming goes quicker than it seems when you start. Good Luck!

  • Same boat. Mace is currently 62/80, Ahsoka at 4* 10/65(?), EK 45/50, really hope the patch is delayed by a couple of days, especially since JC is 4* and 30 shards away from the 5* . Doing double refills on cantina and just hitting hard nodes with my energy. Gear/Ability Mats/Credits I have a few saved, I hope I make the unlock but all down to those RNG gods
  • I feel I'll hit 5 star with Mace but I'll end up missing Anakin unfortunately.
  • No Mace for me. I'm only at 27/80. I do have 5 Jedi to at least start the event, maybe get through the first 2 stages but will have to wait for the second time the event comes around to be able to unlock the secret character.
  • My mace is now at 80/80, not yet activated. What will happen if I wait for a possible Jedi pack and keep on farming without activating him? I really don't want to spend real money and just get 32 shards for this guy...

    Do I get a shard overflow like 90/80 or do I just loose all the shards above 80 until I activate?
  • If you don't activate him and get him from a character pack you would still have your 80 saved shards to make him 5* right away.
  • You've got 99 shards but a Mace ain't one?

    And if we assume you only need him by the end, you should make it, though RNGsus can always forsake you.

    Good call on this, mine is at 64/80. I think I'll wait to activate mine now.

    You get shard overflow on unactivated characters. Just have to have the willpower not to hit activate.

    Yeah just noticed, thanks. My character overview still shows 80/80 shards. You actually have to enter the character details, there it's 82/80. Guess I'll keep farming Mace, Eeth Koth and Dooku witout activating until I need them. Hoping for a lucky Bronzium pull or a good pack so they will star up faster ;)
