WORK IN PROGRESS

This Free-to-Play Farming Guide is an in-depth guide that will show different paths a player can choose to take from the start of the game to beyond reaching max player level that will help them make the most use of their time and resources. The main focus of this guide will be for people that want to be competitive in the game and are just starting out, however it will include useful information for casual players and players who have been playing for a while.

Understanding the costs of F2P

The current pricing model for the game is time which means the amount of money people spend will determine how fast they access content and how quickly they rise in ranked PvP content. Being free-to-play in a freemium game means that if you want to be able to compete at higher levels you will need to make very wise choices or it will take a very long time to unlock needed key characters and ships. It also means you will most likely not get new units the first time around. If you think you may spend money then be sure to check out the Test P2P Farming Guide for tips that will hopefully save you time and money. Below is a list of costs and times that F2P players will need to save for or keep in mind if they want to access certain units quickly.

• Marquee Unit
  • Marquee Packs: Average of 51,960 to go from 3* to 7* when unit is released
  • Marquee Mega Pack: Average of 42,807 to go from 3* to 7* when unit is released
  • Shipments: 22,400 ,not including refreshes, to go from 3* to 7* available option 4 to 6 weeks after unit is released. Can take an additional 1 to 4 weeks of purchasing depending on RNG and number of refreshes used.
  • Farm Location will become available 8 to 12 weeks after unit is released and can reasonably take from 5 to 10 more weeks to farm. Crystal costs vary by energy needed and number of daily refreshes with an average of 5,000 to 15,000 spent over the mentioned durations.
  • Note: Marquee Events are normally released sequentially in groups of 2 or 3.
• New Legendary Event
  • Not having units ready means doing Bundles from the Store similar to Marquee Packs or panic farming 1 to 5 units of a specific faction with a 1 to 4 week notice. Missing the event means trying to farm all needed characters within a 3-4 month time period before it comes back.
• New Journey Event
  • Not having units ready means doing Bundles from the Store similar to Marquee Packs or panic farming 1 to 5 specific units with a 1 to 2 week notice. Missing a new Journey Event means trying to farm all needed characters within a 3-4 month time period before it comes back.
• New Epic Confrontation
  • Not having units ready means doing Bundles from the Store similar to Marquee Packs or panic farming 8 to 15+ specific units with a 3 to 7 day notice. Missing an Epic Confrontation event means trying to farm all needed characters within a 3-4 month time period before it comes back, however they have been known to do them much sooner.

Guide Overview

Phase 1

Phase 1 will last from Player Level 1-60 which should be about Day 1-40. It is recommended to spend crystals on 1 Energy Refresh and then 1 Cantina Refresh each day. Prioritize refreshing Cantina because it will give you Store Tokens for doing battles. Focus on unlocking all Levels first before going back to farm specific units.
