Just wondering what the community thought is on using cantina credits to buy ability mats. I know there are some pretty great characters available from these but the level II ability mats are pretty hard to get. I'm only lvl 46 so I could be being a little short sighted here, just seems that getting mats would just slow me down and not completely deter me from my future fives/Boba/Daka

they're your credits but 5 shards vs 2 L2 ability mats seems like a better deal, particularly when GW and cantina battles drops the mats regularly.
Oh, did I forget to say "never"?
I currently am sitting on 208 level 1 ability mats and 97 level 2. Once you get above level 45 or so, all that really matter are the level 3s. Meanwhile I have 3 different characters it will take me months to farm out of there.
Never.
Lol, I level 54 and still don't get enough mats. Do you have only five characters? I'd be interested to know how you get so many?
I'm level 57 and I don't have a surplus either and I finish GW 9 times out of 10. Are you spending a ton of crystals on Cantina battle energy? I only refresh once per day for 100 crystals.
Lv4-6 uses varying amounts of lv3 mats. Use those sparingly as they are pretty hard to stock up.
But let me explain what happens later in the game: tou have 80 level I mats unused, and 40 level II. And you CAN'T use them because abikity level 3 and higher (and increasingly) consume level III mats.
So buying matts with a very scarce resource (Cantina credits) is bad, because you get mats where you will have a surplus, plus you use a very hard currency (cantina credits) to buy something that is a very natural deop in GW, Cantina missions and Mat Challanges.
I bough materials 2 times, ever, and only to unlock extremely special abikities where hacing it now vs tomorrow would affect me even more.
Cantina Shipments therefore are always best avoided!
Agreed. Even if it means waiting a day or so, the shards are the premium and especially cantina tokens which take a lot more time to refill the energy on.
