This shard shop thing looks expensive. I'm thinking once I get Lumi to 7*, (1 1/2 - 2 weeks) I'll just keep buying their shards to convert. Thoughts?

I'd keep farming up the characters you think you'll need to be 7* before going for someone else in the shard shop. Grievous has gotten easier since he showed up in ships, but it's a long, long haul to get him.

Have you done the math on unlocking Grievous from the Shard Shop?

You might have a mortgage & children by the time you get him to 7*.

The conversion rate in there is TERRIBLE.  Only thing I do in there is buy the MK5 Furnaces when I need a few more to get to 50.

Skip it and get other chars from GW like 86, Resistance Pilot & Teebo to 7* instead.

I've gotten most of the characters I want from places, so I do the Shard Shop for certain things.  Still do Grievous shards in the shop since I usually spend my ship shards on ships.  Sometimes I spend my GW shards on ships, sometimes I spend them on character shards for the Shard Shop.  Just about done with characters I'm going to farm in the Cantina shop so those shards are gonna go to the Shard Shop.  PvP I need to finish Tarkin and then Nebit and then I'll start working on Shard Shop turn ins.  I'm in no hurry for Grievous now that I have K-2SO.  My droid squad is quite formidable now.  I played the long waiting game with Vader.  I got all of his shards from Achievements or the Shard Shop and got him all the way to 7*, so I have the patience for Grievous too.  I'm at 75/80 for him already, without help from Ships shop, so it's not like I'll be waiting much longer.

first character to L7 gear Kenobi

Grats :-)

[Vivectius]

1 zarking shard from Anakin  

Cannot wait to unlock him in cantina.

Nothing new today. But a word of advice, if unlocking Shard Shop is your only motivation for getting someone to 7*, don't. It's really not that good and I have no expectations for getting anyone from it.

@LC, I got 10 Grevious shards from ships today.

Oh, and I also ranked #77 is Ship Arena today! And I haven't acquired any new ships, only have the ones from Fleet training. I've been spending cantina credits on ship building materials, but now that I almost have a level 60 fleet, I think it's time to go back to Qui-Gon.

[bigBear]

got Dengar and Finn today, 5 shards from 4* QGJ and Eeth Koth. Wedge's  ship is pretty killer too.

[Krace]

Woohoo!  Credit heist today!  Man just yesterday I was saying that I REALLY needed a Credit Heist.

*Dances a little jig*

I got me a cool 10 million again.    

Was just enough credits to promote my Ugnaught to 7*, then get all of my A-squad of Rebels(the ones I'll use against the Emperor), as well as my entire Droid squad(including Jawa Engineer) all to level 85. Had 41k left to spare, lol.

*in a Duke Nukem voice*  It's time to kick a$$ and chew gum, and I'm all outta gum.

pretty sure that quote is Rowdy Roddy Piper from "they live"

Lol, yes it is.  I'm sure that's where they got it for Duke Nukem, plus some more quotes I believe.  I haven't seen that movie but once, and I've played Duke Nukem a lot more, so that's where I made the reference.

Got my Rebels ready & sitting on 7M Credits now so I can take Palpatine straight to level 85. 

If the Emperor is totally surrounded by Royal Guards, I might use Luke as my Leader for that Phase.

Him giving everyone +45% Tenacity will help a ton against all those debuffs.

Speed from Ackbar ain't gonna help if you are Stunned or have Speed Down on you . . . Luke as Lead has worked well in the Tank Raid against the barrage of debuffs Grievous inflicts.  It's not foolproof, but I get a LOT less negative status effects that way.

@DC - nice on the Grievous shards from ships & your rank!  I'm focused on finishing Vader & Darth Maul first for my Sith team (THAT will be awesome when completed) but will start working him after that from Fleet.  I'm starting to use Cantina rewards to cash in on Shard Shop to mine MK 5 Furnaces.  I need so many!  Speaking of . . .


Tip:  Do NOT save up to buy a full piece of Gear in Shard Shop!  A full is 6300 in Shop currency.  A 3 piece salvage drop is only 252 per. Multiply that by 17 to get 51 (most are 50 pieces to craft a whole one) and you only spend 4284.  That is 2000 less!  You can only convert so many shards a day if you are still building characters so just buy the 3s as they pop up. Eventually you will need those pesky Furnaces a lot more than additional characters.


@bigBear - If I were you I would totally focus on getting Qui Gon to 7*.  He is extremely useful and a really powerful QGJ will be a MASSIVE boost to you in everything.  I still view him as the MVP of my entire roster.

Got my Lando to 6*, and Ackbar to 5*
Only a handful of shards from unlocking Vader

Ackbar does have some Tenacity in his leader skill, but it's only 10% compared to Luke's 45%.  However as long as Ackbar isn't the one stunned, he can purge all negative status effects, which you may want against the Emperor.

Also, you can spend some of those credits. Every phase of Emperor's Demise event is just like the Yoda event.  You get enough credits to upgrade his star levels along the way, and it's about 6.3-6.4 million credits to take a character from level 1-85.

I had considered saving my credits from the Heist today to do the same, but I thought it better to get some of my teams maxed out instead.  I'm sure I'll need it for 7* Emperor.

[Lord Canterbury]

Yeah I have really nothing that pressing that I need to spend any of it (most of my good chars are already 84 or 85) and I also want to put some pricey mods on there as well.  So I'm just gonna hang on to it.  Would love to do 5 star Mods and those are really expensive to max out .  .  .

Well, if you're going for 7* Emperor, you'll probably want all your Rebels to be 85.  Every last bit might help.

Yeah, 5* mods are super expensive at 22.5k an upgrade.  If you have them to throw at him, definitely give them to him, but upgrade each to blue first, then upgrade each to purple, then if you've still got the money, upgrade them to gold.  Sometimes it's better to get the mod to lvl 12 and see what all the stats are before you commit to equipping it or to pushing it the rest of the way to 15.  I think 12-15 costs about as much as 1-12.

Already done, done, done, done & done. 

Only thing left is to get Ackbar to Gear 10 and add whatever else I can to the others.

Lando is 11, Ackbar will be 10, Luke & Leia are 9 and Biggs is stuck at 8 unless I get a Furnace in a Raid this week.

Pumped!


Handle the Mustache Connection of Lando & Biggs, the Royal Guards will not.

And of you had an elite Wedge...ouch!

I don't think you'll need everyone to be that high, unless they've tweaked the event. Remember what the gear and player level maxes were when they first unleashed the event. My 7* Yoda had everyone at level 70-72, gear level 7 or 8, and I didn't lose anyone.

Yes, the EP event will be tougher, but it was designed to be for lower levels, and I imagine it's still setup the same way. That's just my guess, though.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with having a team like that at your regular disposal for GW, mod challenges, mod battles, etc., so I imagine you'll be happy you invested in it long after you've acquired EP. I applaud you, LC.
