First question, How many crystals do you spend in a day? And how do you spend them?
I have taken a break from the game many times so I’m working on catching up. I typically spend 450 crystals a day. 300 on cantina refreshes, 150 on energy refreshes for gear. Sometimes I spike into the 500-600 range when I need gear from fleet nodes (recently found out that was dumb).
Second question, how many crystals do you make in a day?
I usually make 130-150 crystals total per day.
Third question, how much real life money do you spend on the game?
I have to buy a 50$ pack a month to spend as much as I do because my teams are naturally not that great.

Currently not spending much daily, will start mod refreshing again and the occasional energy refresh for gear farming. Had been doing 3 Cantina refreshes per day to finish farming ARC/the vets.
Don't really need to spend real money on crystals, although I do occasionally to rush some gearing before events (GAC and new character events).
2. At least 200 from top 50 finish in both arenas, plus however many we get from dailies, GW, guild events, GA, and login rewards.
3. $0
Save the rest for kryo, stun guns, etc.
I make 400 from ships a day, 150-200 from regular arena a day.
Sometimes I spend crystals to farm stun guns, kryo, etc.
Mostly I save 1k crystals and buy kryo or stun guns.
Edit: I want to point out I am not f2p. I spend. Not a lot. Maybe $5 a month.
Spent 500ish daily.
spend 50 crystals for each arena
with enery/cantina I only farm shards
save crystals for gear
spend no money in crytals since Malak
spend money sometimes for marquee-packs
/edit: best invest for crystals is building top10-arena-teams then you need no money
Spend 950-1000c daily.
Right now spending on cantina energy refreshes, the gray and green relic materials in weekly shipments, extra energy on "all energy day", and the leftovers on Y wing and hyena shards.
I am hoping to get where I am high enough in arena where I don’t spend money. But I gotta get my Geo’s high enough to get Padme since that’s gonna be easiest for me to get meta team
150 on normal energy
150 on mods
50 on hard node refreshes
50 on squad refresh
So total spent is 700.
I was spending 150 on fleet, but I stopped that for now to try and rebuild the 6k Crystal's i had to spend to get gas.
I plan on stopping my 300 on cantina intermittently as soon as I finish 7 starring arc trooper.
My income is around 975. 875 average from arenas and the 100ish you get from daily activities and gw.
I spend for 3 mod, e-, fleet e-, and cantina refreshes which equals 750 crystals per day.
I'll typically spend if it'll help my guild reach a certain goal (currently that prepping for KAM sm by next lsgtb.)
So 750 per day in energy refresh.
I gain 900 per day in arena + daily (~100), raid, TW, TB...
I am also an early game (Dec. ‘15) player, so I am caught up on all available characters and ships currently available from nodes (I typically ‘sustainably power farm’ hard and ship node characters by purchasing the first 2 refreshes on ship and hard nodes as soon as I can, so my expenditure goes up by 75 crystals plus whatever Energy refresh purchases necessary to complete that when available x however many toons being farmed.)
Spending 200 on cantina refreshes (once crystal stockpile is back over 10k this will increase to 300 unless character farming precludes it) 50 on normal energy refresh, 50 on fleet arena refresh. (If not farming a character or rebuilding stockpiles, also spend 50-100 on mod energy farming)
Typically receive 150-200 from squad Arena, 325-400 from fleet Arena, plus dailies and activities for an average of about 700 per day.
Essentially try to not drop below 10k crystals unless shopping for an an event and keep a positive growth of 1k per week - any growth in excess of that rate is usually spent in 300-1400 crystal chunks to purchase Character shards for anticipated events, stun guns, mk 3 holo projectors for relic salvage, or kyrotech salvage for newer toons/g12 finishers.
Will buy a character pack or crystal vault once or twice a year (spent a little more in the early days) if there is a particularly good character being released that I think I can capitalize on.
That’s where I’m trying to get so I’m spending more than I did before I left. Once I get a somewhat competitive arena team I’ll slow down... in theory 😅
150 on 3 mod energy, 150 on 3 regular energy refreshes and 150 on 3 ship energy refreshes. However, currently trying to hoard crystals so only spending 50 on mod energy and 100 on a cantina refresh (relic material hoarding as well).
Right now, until we get new content that's worth playing, I'm not doing anything structured in Crystal expenditure. I'll usually spend 50-100 on a refresh to hit my 600, maybe another 100-150 on mod farming, but in the past week I've saved over 1000 crystals towards repleting my stash that was blown on ga$
I make 100 or if lucky 200 on fleet arena and 60 or 75 from squad if i fall below 200,again if lucky.
I used to spend 150 on energy & 300 on cantina per day.
But for the last 2 months I haven't refreshed any energy at all, hasn't made much of a difference gear-wise as I get plenty of gear from the stores.
I've racked up about 30k and it's an empowering feeling 😄 hopefully I'll be ready for the Galactic Legend event.
I’ve noticed many people don’t refresh energy. Do you find farming gear from stores more cost effective and doesn’t take too much longer to get gear?
Anecdotal alert, I have no actual data.
I'm pretty sure the dailies get you around 100, not 250. Even adding in the crystals from the prize box will only bump it up 5-25 most days.
