I would have added, that in GW you can retreat if the battle RNG isn't going in your favor and try again. Once i knew about this I started clearing GW. Really important for new players that have a limited roster.
Also you can just start a battle in GW and retreat without attacking and it satisfies the daily quests. You won't get the rewards you get for finishing the battle, but it counts towards your dailies.
The #1 tip I'm giving to new players: have a plan. You don't have to be as retentive as I am (I literally use a spreadsheet). But have an idea of what you want to accomplish. I just finished a 6-month plan that got me CLS; now working RJT. Drop rates are predictable over the long haul. Set goals and pursue them.
Biggest trick out there is to use your crystals primarily to refresh energy and hard modes. Usually you get a better crystal to shard price ratio (you can get RNG screwed) but you also get lots of other drops such as gear, credits, ship mats, training droids, or cantina battle credits. If you are trying to get a specific gear piece, maybe save up to buy it in store but I have noticed that I get a lot better over time rewards for that 50 crystal drop to refresh my energy.
Tip!! In the Galactic War Store: once you’ve farmed many of the characters, still purchase the same characters. They will convert in the Shard Store for some great pieces
It’s really nice to see someone that doesn’t have EVERYTHING maxed out already like mobile gamer and ahnald. It gives me more of a sense of good feeling. Every time I see one of their videos I’m just thinking to myself that how do I do this??? It’s sad. It makes me sad. My best team right now is Phoenix. 😢
Exploit the refresh tickover for the daily guild activities quest; for challenges and PvP, when you see they're next up, don't do any after the midnight overall refresh until the quest updates, then do the max number of challenges or PvP battles before midnight. That way you can squeeze 2 days' worth into a 24 hour period. (Nb I have no idea how this applies to different timezones or anything like that, but I imagine the concept is universal)
You're missing one important trick to access the bronzium card without scrolling through pages of packs 1) Set Jawa as favourite 2) Click "Find" on Jawa's page 3) ???? 4) Profit!
Also: buy mk3 detonators (and mk5 discs) from the guild store when you can. Unlike most gear in the shops, these are five FULL PIECES per purchase. Not 5 salvage. So it's the equivalent of 25 mk3 detonator salvage, and it's somewhere around 250 guild tokens. Incredible value.
That 375 crystal great slot is absolutely the best value in the game. It's always a gold g11 finisher, mk10 disc salvage, or mk5 detonator salvage. I pretty much never have to farm them from anywhere else.
dude one big tip i have to give is do the guild's dailies stuff.. i mean, monday is for light side battles, tuesday is any energy, wednesday are for hard nodes etc... if your entire guild follows this, everyone can get way more than 1k+ guild coins each week
I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I feel like this is an important tip/trick, important enough to warrant multiple mentions. To go along with the comment about putting some of your characters in favorites, this is done to make sure you don't spread your resources too thin. Energy is very valuable at every stage of the game (unless you somehow have all characters 7* and Gear 12), so keeping your focus tight helps both in making sure every amount of energy is put to good use, and I found that it's easier to enjoy the game when I don't feel overwhelmed by what I have to work on.
When setting up your daily hard node/ cantina farms you should have 3 to 4 toons on farmable - 1 Light side hard node, 1 dark side hard node, 1 fleet hard node and your cantina farm. For instance right now as a F2P player, I am farming Sion on the Fleet and light side nodes, NS Zombie on the Dark side node and Gar Saxon in the Cantina. You can max out your 5 attempts on each hard node without spending any crystal if you hit all of your free energy drops. If you don't want to wait on the energy drops then you can do it by spending 50 - 100 crystal for energy refreshes.
Han, what a great video! I've been on Crouching Rancor to see the mod recommendation but never knew about that mod manager! Even though I just went through an in-game secondary speed scrub, this tool already uncovered that I crazily have my 5th best speed square on Zeb lol! In fact, only 1 of my top 5 are on my Arena squad, so i have some serious moving to do, but I should be able to improve my overall speed weighting quite a bit using this tool, so thanks for the tip! Here are 2 things that I only recently realized, even though I've been playing about 18 months: 1- Galactic War Store: once you've farmed the usable characters that appear in this store, DO NOT continue to spend GW currency on useless toons! I crazily got all but Tusken Raider to 7* before i realized that I could have been converting that currency extra shards currency for use in the shard store, where some very useful pieces show up frequently. Just buy shards of toons you already have 7* then buy stuff you need from the shard store instead. Much more valuable then putting 7* on lower ranking toons you will never use/need. 2- Fleet Arena Store: similar thing here. once you've got most of the good toons at 7* that appear here, it makes much more sense to use that currency for Zeta mats. Especially now with ships 2.0 only starting with 3 and maxing at 7 ships, I dont think getting all of the lower ships to 7* is very useful. Seems much better to get Zeta mats, which can make a HUGE difference in the game!
My tip for hard node farming, is very simple, but here we go: I assume that you collect bonus energy, all 3 times per day. Pick one character, that can only be farmed in light side, pick a different (or same one) that can only be farmed in dark side battles. This way i can use whatever bonus enegy is left, plus 3x refresh for gear farming. Gear level is more important than stars, 7 stars is only important for tanks.
Similar thing here... went from sub-200's to usually 30-40 running zBastilla team (and even without GK or Hoda lol), and can probably push into top 20 after moving some of best speed mods around. Relevant Jedi is what got me even more hooked on this game, so hopefully that trend will continue.
Best tips I can give: 1 if rushing to complete daily missions start with arena 2 if not already able to sim complete your galactic war every day, it makes it so much easier if you have it done before level 85
N1njaman3 ! doing it before lvl 85? I've only succeeded in completing TW once and that was cause I zeta'd kylo in the middle of the war. The last two nodes always completely destroy everything, it used to be way easier a year ago
I'm autoing GW every day with my phoenix squad, with my least decent mods. There are a couple of teams my PS can't take and I do those with zEP, BF, Thrawn, KRU, DV. Got to lvl 85 a couple of days ago and only 15 GW's to go before autoing
For crystal-based purchases, I convert to days. If I get ~300 crystals a day, then a 375 crystal purchase equals a bit more than a day’s work. Is the gear worth that much time? Then buy it.
Yes! Can we please get Squad Selector in the character inventory as opposed to having to go into a battle. I figured out most of these tips on my own, but it's good that this video is out there. Another good video man!
For cantina farms you don't need to keep them on your favourite if you're only farming one at a time, when you go into cantina battles it remembers which battle you did last and loads up the node table on that battle so you can just press cantina and press sim
I feel like the first two tips are more for someone who already has a lot of the necessary characters. I feel the need to use my crystals on hard node and cantina refreshes because I don't have Revan, CLS or RJT.
IDK about the mod store tip. While it certainly was useful in the past, this future mod update will make farming extremely viable, with separate energy and splicing. Plus, CG said the store upgrade is temporary, and I certainly see an opportunity for them to take it back soon.
here's the bottom line. With how important mods have been, I'm not recommending anyone put a hold on farming good speed secondary while we wait for all the changes.
CubsFan Han Yeah, I can see your point. I realize I was thinking about it from my perspective, and since I already have established mods, I'm fine waiting. An extra speed mod or two wouldn't make much of a difference to me, since I have 30 equally good mods on my arena team. However, from the perspective of someone who doesn't have that, I can see how crucial getting good speed mods might be.
When we see the new mod battle energy being separate from Cantina energy, you'll still be able to focus on your character farming, while also mod farming. I don't think it would negate using the mod store at all, but will definitely make mod farming a daily task. I agree with CubsFan Han that at this time it's probably best to use all cantina energy on farming characters.
Now is a good time to refresh the mod store, but with the changes coming, mods like that purple square aren't as valuable as they once were. CG actually tipped us off on the best mods to be acquiring as we await mods 2.0 I respectfully disagree with the idea of routinely buying gear with crystals. I think this should only be done by whales (or anyone who's crystal rich) or people in a urgent situation. My advice would be: if you're crystal poor, use crystals entirely for refreshes. If you have a decent flow of crystals but nothing crazy: use crystals for energy refreshes and then either save them to get a P2P character (or panic farm *looks at vets*) or buy the occasional gold eyeballs. The math plays out that refreshes are a better way of getting most gear. In addition, most of these analyses leave out everything else that you get when node farming. Sure, the credits and stuff are nominal, but there are several nodes worth farming for purple gear that also contain some of the lesser gear that's heavily used (See DS 9-F, for example). Sorry to be negative. I love the idea of putting out tips like these since people don't know what they don't know. Keep it up!
I totally agree that refreshes are the most efficient way to get gear for upgrades but there are certain items that are only obtainable from raids such as Mk 5 Arakyd Droid callers. The way that I do it is I set up a "savings account" I make sure to contribute a certain amount from my daily crystal earnings to this account. Ex. 50 crystals per day, this way when I need those really hard to get items I have crystals set aside that I specifically put there for buying them.
Great point. There's some nuisance gear that can't be farmed, and it can definitely be worth spending crystals on those rather than waiting for raid rewards and hoping you get what you need. These used to be pretty easy to get with guild currency, but there's other good stuff in that store now. I should also mention that Mk 3 Holo Lens (I think I got that right. I'm referring to the purple shower drains/Krull glaives) are pretty inefficient to spend energy on when they're 300 crystals for a full piece. I wouldn't buy those routinely since so many toons need them, but it can be worth it in a pinch.
Good video. I use some of these tips already but your first one and farming 1 character per section makes sense. I'm farming 2 characters to finish my nightsisters team them it is nihilism and sin next. I like the idea of saving Crystals for gear and mod refresh. I saved my guild points to 7* a character(in my case jyn erso) or to hear a character at 1 time. Also I say use the discord to get your guild to organize farming so say 3 ppl do stun cuffs, 3 do stun guns. That way if I person requests it every 3 days and is farming it themselves they can hear characters quicker. Plus I use squad arena teams that have at least 1 fleet arena character so a thrawn or Vader so I can be more efficient gearing.
Thank you so much, I had no idea how to use the favourites tab or squad selector tool aha and I have never refreshed in the mod store either but I'll make sure I do now :')
I personally only farm 1 at a time, yes. MAYBE two depending on my need. For me, I want to have more energy left over for gear. When I was younger in the game farming multiple was more common but now I have the toons I need so I'm just farming side projects for TW/Raids.
CubsFan Han thanks for the response! I understand completely. I’m just so nervous to get behind those single hard node walls! I have found myself strapped for energy to go towards gear though. Probably need to reevaluate my strat. Great video as always brother!
When do mods from the mod store start charging fleet creds? I've only ever seen them for normal credits which just isn't doable while leveling. Everytime I level I get near depleted on credits just keeping my LS/DS/arena/pilots at max level
Nice tip video. I was wondering if you could do something similar specifically for the Sith Raid. Like what teams to use in certain phases and when to use the special abilities for each phase.
I agree with mod store beeing really helpfull, but not with refreshing, I check mine 3 times a day, and from my experience good mods come way faster than the needed credits (considering I only look for Crosses and Triangles and get still enough good mods without refreshing at this point, it shocks me even more that you have to throw that many crystals away, maybe I'm just lucky? but i am usually not), so i rather wait 6 hours, if you think about it your refreshes are adding up pretty fast
Great video as usual, but I do have two questions. If you haven't hit level 85 yet, do you still suggest setting aside money for mods, or should it be spent levelling up toons? With the new mod system coming soon I have real concern that acquiring 20 speed secondary mods will be a thing only players who had them prior to the update will ever have. My tip of the day relates to the fact that you can set auto battle to basic attacks only. If you're still fighting through GW, it allows you to auto easy teams while not suddenly facing a challenging team with all your special ability cool downs in disarray. It's more of an early game tip, but there it is
People tend to scoff at my GP and thats fine but I definitely have some pretty concentrated focus at the top that has helped me stay competitive in the arena for a long time. Cheers!
I fav toons I’m working on also like cap han which then I use to buy FOO shards in guild store. Farm DN for shards I also might get mk 8 binos I need for yoda whose on my arena team. Does it always work out perfect, hardly but increasing my chances is the approach here.
You should always refresh the shard shop only 25 Crystal and you can get pretty decent Gear from that. Especially if you dont have the Crystal for buying Gear in shippments.
I hit lvl 85 a few months ago and added these hard node farms for my dailies: Sion, nihilus, talzin, veers(mainly for gear 6D), bosk and baze. I use 1-2 Crystal refresh a day and I figure I'll kick myself if I delay any of these hard farms. I also hate that I'm in a position of wanting jtr and having to farm the veterans instead of other more viable characters in cantina.
NorthAmericanScum I'm stuck in same boat and the vets are killing me.. namely vet Han. . Chewie is almost finished but I've spent x4 the amount of energy on Han and he is still halfway to 5star.. sometimes I can go 2 days without a single han shard up to 5max a day with 3 refreshes.. this is almost unheard of with Chewie who almost always drops for me... it's like my Han node is bugged
+John Dee I've started with vet Han first so it's refreshing to hear chewie has a better drop rate. So yeah, vet Han drop is garbage-thanks Capital Games...
NorthAmericanScum I hope rmgjeesus is the same 4 u on chewie. . Also the node brings in an absurd amount of purple ability points.. 16energy cantina seems to be the sweet spot for those purples ;) .. dang and jtr is here in like a month?.. I hope it's a long month away haha
John Dee I finally got my han to 6* and I haven't even started on chewie. even with 2 or 3 cantina refreshes I doubt I'll make it by the time she comes back around. Best of luck to you as well and I'll pray to rngjesus for both of us.
Is it bad I have about 270 million credits lol and 40 odd million ship credits A also have all the tabs broken down nicely so I can see what’s where for the exact same Sections that you have except for Tb I have a tab for each phase
Where can I go to sale one of my accounts that I don't want anymore? It has like 1.1 million GP? And how much could I sale it for? I have too many accounts need to focus on just a couple. That's a tip I need
Not to mention you could use the arrow as an easy 1 of 4 to meet the speed set req. Just keep your two best mods and use 3 other comparable speed sets, and use those other random high speed sec mods on other people
I’m perfectly content with +119 speed added to my yoda. I have my fastest speed secondary on him and that didn’t leave room for a set without sacrificing a bit. He goes first in every battle. My sets for other toons are fine. Everyone needs to work with what they got.
CubsFan Han I'm not trying to argue that Yoda needs to be faster. That's plenty fast. I'm just trying to point out that the way you get the isn't very efficient. Even if the three speed mods you swapped out were 5 speed slower, Yodas base speed would still be +1 faster. Leaving three of your best speed sec mods to go to others.
My only available speed set that is good is on HY. I like having that on him and the current mods I have on yoda are working great for me. I'll agree to disagree.
*Secret Tip 1*
•Farm CUP and Mob Enforcer
im actually farming theme lol
FAKE NEWS . . .LOLOLOLOL
Not a scam
Don’t forget about the Jedi Knight Guardian either! Very important farm. #not
I can tell you guys no absolutely NOTHING about this game. You guys really really need to hard node farm Lobot. What are you thinking!?
I would have added, that in GW you can retreat if the battle RNG isn't going in your favor and try again. Once i knew about this I started clearing GW. Really important for new players that have a limited roster.
Also you can just start a battle in GW and retreat without attacking and it satisfies the daily quests. You won't get the rewards you get for finishing the battle, but it counts towards your dailies.

I just finished a 6-month plan that got me CLS; now working RJT. Drop rates are predictable over the long haul. Set goals and pursue them.
Whos cls
@@alchaholic6854 Commander luke skywalker
I'd never actually paid attention to the cost of a refresh on the mod store. That's definitely worth the cost!
tip 1 spend 1,000 dollars
also, any word on when porg is coming to the game?
@XxelitesnipexX 1080 well then bring in the ghost of porg past, present, and future
@XxelitesnipexX 1080 past would be an egg, present would be a cooked porg, and future would be a giant wookie turd
Michael lmao thanks👍
Tip: I use the Galactic War to finish my PrestigeQuests. Win 200 Battles with 5 Jedi, Bobas assignment 500 times, etc.
Marquee event replays work better
I did both. Worked awesome. Same with the daily challenges that don't have specific requirements like all healers, or all tanks.
I did a mix of GW, light side hard and Cantina for this. Got it done fairly quickly.
8:38 No video is complete without the Slicer
Biggest trick out there is to use your crystals primarily to refresh energy and hard modes. Usually you get a better crystal to shard price ratio (you can get RNG screwed) but you also get lots of other drops such as gear, credits, ship mats, training droids, or cantina battle credits. If you are trying to get a specific gear piece, maybe save up to buy it in store but I have noticed that I get a lot better over time rewards for that 50 crystal drop to refresh my energy.
Yes, this is THE TRUTH ! you only need to spend crystals on energy or hard node refresh, until it starts costing 100... there you can stop...
You sounded so disappointed when you only got TIE Slicer shards. Lol. But this video is spot on. Good video Cubs!
Tip!! In the Galactic War Store: once you’ve farmed many of the characters, still purchase the same characters. They will convert in the Shard Store for some great pieces
Great video you're completely on point about needing the squad tab at the bottom of the character list screen instead of train.
It’s really nice to see someone that doesn’t have EVERYTHING maxed out already like mobile gamer and ahnald. It gives me more of a sense of good feeling. Every time I see one of their videos I’m just thinking to myself that how do I do this??? It’s sad. It makes me sad. My best team right now is Phoenix. 😢
i like the favorites tip. its a pain in the ass scrolling down every morning for the next 6 months trying to get visla
Exploit the refresh tickover for the daily guild activities quest; for challenges and PvP, when you see they're next up, don't do any after the midnight overall refresh until the quest updates, then do the max number of challenges or PvP battles before midnight. That way you can squeeze 2 days' worth into a 24 hour period.
(Nb I have no idea how this applies to different timezones or anything like that, but I imagine the concept is universal)
You're missing one important trick to access the bronzium card without scrolling through pages of packs
1) Set Jawa as favourite
2) Click "Find" on Jawa's page
3) ????
4) Profit!
This is a fantastic tip.
I just started and that's awesome!
Best tip evah! Hate that scrolling.
Sorry, I don't get it, can you please explain? Thanks a lot
Also: buy mk3 detonators (and mk5 discs) from the guild store when you can. Unlike most gear in the shops, these are five FULL PIECES per purchase. Not 5 salvage. So it's the equivalent of 25 mk3 detonator salvage, and it's somewhere around 250 guild tokens. Incredible value.
That 375 crystal great slot is absolutely the best value in the game. It's always a gold g11 finisher, mk10 disc salvage, or mk5 detonator salvage. I pretty much never have to farm them from anywhere else.
Totally agree with the squad selector button. Good idea
dude one big tip i have to give is do the guild's dailies stuff.. i mean, monday is for light side battles, tuesday is any energy, wednesday are for hard nodes etc... if your entire guild follows this, everyone can get way more than 1k+ guild coins each week
I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I feel like this is an important tip/trick, important enough to warrant multiple mentions.
To go along with the comment about putting some of your characters in favorites, this is done to make sure you don't spread your resources too thin. Energy is very valuable at every stage of the game (unless you somehow have all characters 7* and Gear 12), so keeping your focus tight helps both in making sure every amount of energy is put to good use, and I found that it's easier to enjoy the game when I don't feel overwhelmed by what I have to work on.
When setting up your daily hard node/ cantina farms you should have 3 to 4 toons on farmable - 1 Light side hard node, 1 dark side hard node, 1 fleet hard node and your cantina farm. For instance right now as a F2P player, I am farming Sion on the Fleet and light side nodes, NS Zombie on the Dark side node and Gar Saxon in the Cantina. You can max out your 5 attempts on each hard node without spending any crystal if you hit all of your free energy drops. If you don't want to wait on the energy drops then you can do it by spending 50 - 100 crystal for energy refreshes.
Han, what a great video! I've been on Crouching Rancor to see the mod recommendation but never knew about that mod manager! Even though I just went through an in-game secondary speed scrub, this tool already uncovered that I crazily have my 5th best speed square on Zeb lol! In fact, only 1 of my top 5 are on my Arena squad, so i have some serious moving to do, but I should be able to improve my overall speed weighting quite a bit using this tool, so thanks for the tip!
Here are 2 things that I only recently realized, even though I've been playing about 18 months:
1- Galactic War Store: once you've farmed the usable characters that appear in this store, DO NOT continue to spend GW currency on useless toons! I crazily got all but Tusken Raider to 7* before i realized that I could have been converting that currency extra shards currency for use in the shard store, where some very useful pieces show up frequently. Just buy shards of toons you already have 7* then buy stuff you need from the shard store instead. Much more valuable then putting 7* on lower ranking toons you will never use/need.
2- Fleet Arena Store: similar thing here. once you've got most of the good toons at 7* that appear here, it makes much more sense to use that currency for Zeta mats. Especially now with ships 2.0 only starting with 3 and maxing at 7 ships, I dont think getting all of the lower ships to 7* is very useful. Seems much better to get Zeta mats, which can make a HUGE difference in the game!
My tip for hard node farming, is very simple, but here we go: I assume that you collect bonus energy, all 3 times per day. Pick one character, that can only be farmed in light side, pick a different (or same one) that can only be farmed in dark side battles. This way i can use whatever bonus enegy is left, plus 3x refresh for gear farming. Gear level is more important than stars, 7 stars is only important for tanks.
Cubs ive been upgrading my jedi and using them in arena with a Bastilla lead and i went from 5,000 to 500 ;)
brings a tear to my eye ;)
Similar thing here... went from sub-200's to usually 30-40 running zBastilla team (and even without GK or Hoda lol), and can probably push into top 20 after moving some of best speed mods around. Relevant Jedi is what got me even more hooked on this game, so hopefully that trend will continue.
Best tips I can give:
1 if rushing to complete daily missions start with arena
2 if not already able to sim complete your galactic war every day, it makes it so much easier if you have it done before level 85
why would you start with Arena? you want to start those battles 1 hour or so before the prize, or else you'll lose ranks.
N1njaman3 ! doing it before lvl 85? I've only succeeded in completing TW once and that was cause I zeta'd kylo in the middle of the war. The last two nodes always completely destroy everything, it used to be way easier a year ago
I'm autoing GW every day with my phoenix squad, with my least decent mods. There are a couple of teams my PS can't take and I do those with zEP, BF, Thrawn, KRU, DV. Got to lvl 85 a couple of days ago and only 15 GW's to go before autoing
Matthew Neirynck how did you even farm so much heroes... ·_·
Except when you drop 4m credits the gold mods showing speed secondaries only to not have that secondary upgrade. Happens way too many times.
I'm for sure going to be doing the refresh. Been so hard to get any speed mods from the mod challenges.
For crystal-based purchases, I convert to days. If I get ~300 crystals a day, then a 375 crystal purchase equals a bit more than a day’s work. Is the gear worth that much time? Then buy it.
Yes! Can we please get Squad Selector in the character inventory as opposed to having to go into a battle. I figured out most of these tips on my own, but it's good that this video is out there. Another good video man!
I did not even notice there was a spot to build teams, very useful tip.
There's tabs??? OMG!! I love you!
I went against a guild and one guy was named the senate
How did I not realise there were multiple tabs available on squad management?!? Life.Changed!!
For cantina farms you don't need to keep them on your favourite if you're only farming one at a time, when you go into cantina battles it remembers which battle you did last and loads up the node table on that battle so you can just press cantina and press sim
Or you can keep them in the favorites tab so all your farms are in one place ;)
Fair enough ;)
Hey, when Embo shards will be avaible in store?
This was perfect! I am going to work on my Squads for TW. Thank you.
Is it a good idea to buy mods right now before the mod update ? Or does it not matter ?
What do you think about prioritizing bastila shards over gear? is getting 7* Bastila worth it?
Arena tab is good for a look back into the old metas.
Got one decent mod from event. Now has 22 Spd secondary. Makes me happy
Wouldn't be a proper cubbies video without a 'tie slicer' name drop. Great vid though dude
I agree with tip 1 except isn't there going to be separate mod energy so you don't have to spend cantina energy farming mods?
Yeah this was kinda indirect in the video but I recommend farming mods exclusively in the store for now. No need to spend cantina energy on it IMO.
I’m about to break 800k GP soon and these were super helpful. And with Mods 2.0 coming up, it’ll probably sync well with CrouchingRancor. Thanks Cubs!
I had absolutely no idea you can buy mods with ship credits, that’s awesome
I feel like the first two tips are more for someone who already has a lot of the necessary characters. I feel the need to use my crystals on hard node and cantina refreshes because I don't have Revan, CLS or RJT.
That intro is soo mint and great video😸
Im always tight on credits, any tipps?
Is there any tips on levelling up faster on top of doing the dailies daily lol
Thank you so much, I had no idea how to use the favourites tab or squad selector tool aha and I have never refreshed in the mod store either :')
IDK about the mod store tip. While it certainly was useful in the past, this future mod update will make farming extremely viable, with separate energy and splicing. Plus, CG said the store upgrade is temporary, and I certainly see an opportunity for them to take it back soon.

I totally forgot about the 15 crystals refresh! Thxs mate!
Hey, when did u make this video? It doesn't have the ship energy thingy on top..
Now is a good time to refresh the mod store, but with the changes coming, mods like that purple square aren't as valuable as they once were. CG actually tipped us off on the best mods to be acquiring as we await mods 2.0
I respectfully disagree with the idea of routinely buying gear with crystals. I think this should only be done by whales (or anyone who's crystal rich) or people in a urgent situation. My advice would be: if you're crystal poor, use crystals entirely for refreshes. If you have a decent flow of crystals but nothing crazy: use crystals for energy refreshes and then either save them to get a P2P character (or panic farm *looks at vets*) or buy the occasional gold eyeballs.
The math plays out that refreshes are a better way of getting most gear. In addition, most of these analyses leave out everything else that you get when node farming. Sure, the credits and stuff are nominal, but there are several nodes worth farming for purple gear that also contain some of the lesser gear that's heavily used (See DS 9-F, for example).

I totally agree that refreshes are the most efficient way to get gear for upgrades but there are certain items that are only obtainable from raids such as Mk 5 Arakyd Droid callers. The way that I do it is I set up a "savings account" I make sure to contribute a certain amount from my daily crystal earnings to this account. Ex. 50 crystals per day, this way when I need those really hard to get items I have crystals set aside that I specifically put there for buying them.
Great point. There's some nuisance gear that can't be farmed, and it can definitely be worth spending crystals on those rather than waiting for raid rewards and hoping you get what you need. These used to be pretty easy to get with guild currency, but there's other good stuff in that store now. I should also mention that Mk 3 Holo Lens (I think I got that right. I'm referring to the purple shower drains/Krull glaives) are pretty inefficient to spend energy on when they're 300 crystals for a full piece. I wouldn't buy those routinely since so many toons need them, but it can be worth it in a pinch.
Good video. I use some of these tips already but your first one and farming 1 character per section makes sense. I'm farming 2 characters to finish my nightsisters team them it is nihilism and sin next. I like the idea of saving Crystals for gear and mod refresh. I saved my guild points to 7* a character(in my case jyn erso) or to hear a character at 1 time. Also I say use the discord to get your guild to organize farming so say 3 ppl do stun cuffs, 3 do stun guns. That way if I person requests it every 3 days and is farming it themselves they can hear characters quicker. Plus I use squad arena teams that have at least 1 fleet arena character so a thrawn or Vader so I can be more efficient gearing.
Thank you so much, I had no idea how to use the favourites tab or squad selector tool aha and I have never refreshed in the mod store either but I'll make sure I do now :')
Craig Curtis you repeated that 4 times ynow? Just saying
@@johndee7124 Ik I didn't mean to lol my phone had problems sending then it sent 4 at the same time 😂 my bad
Intro is just as good as always. In the mid game so I’ll take all the tips I can get
Is there real need of bying mods from store now if there will be huge update and you will farm them with new kind of energy?
With how hard it is to find quality mods I see very little logic in putting a hold on that farm
Troopers with stark lead - great
Also pay attention to the Next Activity under Guild Activity. It can make the difference from having 20 challenges or 10!
Can you do RJT, and CLS against each other in the next 1v1? I really want to know what the outcome would be.
Dumb question... Is this one PC and not just mobile or how are you using a mouse for it?
You say your “hard node farm” so does that mean you only farm one hard node character at a time? I’m farming several now...
I personally only farm 1 at a time, yes. MAYBE two depending on my need. For me, I want to have more energy left over for gear. When I was younger in the game farming multiple was more common but now I have the toons I need so I'm just farming side projects for TW/Raids.
CubsFan Han thanks for the response! I understand completely. I’m just so nervous to get behind those single hard node walls! I have found myself strapped for energy to go towards gear though. Probably need to reevaluate my strat. Great video as always brother!
4* Sion? C'mon Cubs! What good is Traya without him?
I care about JEDI
But which jedi are you farming on hard nodes instead?
Damn light-siders :P
Keep characters you don't plan on using at gear tier 1 and level 1 so that less gear is used and to limit you guild's active GP for TW
When do mods from the mod store start charging fleet creds? I've only ever seen them for normal credits which just isn't doable while leveling. Everytime I level I get near depleted on credits just keeping my LS/DS/arena/pilots at max level
Nice tip video. I was wondering if you could do something similar specifically for the Sith Raid. Like what teams to use in certain phases and when to use the special abilities for each phase.
I love your channel Cubs. Thanks for posting your vids they are awesome. BTW, who is your favorite clone wars character?
snips. not even close ;)
Thanks for the support!
@@CubsFanHan lol I watched cinemasins review the clone wars movie... the guy HATES ahsoka LOL
You should check it out sometime
I agree with mod store beeing really helpfull, but not with refreshing, I check mine 3 times a day, and from my experience good mods come way faster than the needed credits (considering I only look for Crosses and Triangles and get still enough good mods without refreshing at this point, it shocks me even more that you have to throw that many crystals away, maybe I'm just lucky? but i am usually not), so i rather wait 6 hours, if you think about it your refreshes are adding up pretty fast
To me it’s worth it, and I’ve found most my solid mods after refreshing a few times.
Great video as usual, but I do have two questions.
If you haven't hit level 85 yet, do you still suggest setting aside money for mods, or should it be spent levelling up toons? With the new mod system coming soon I have real concern that acquiring 20 speed secondary mods will be a thing only players who had them prior to the update will ever have.
My tip of the day relates to the fact that you can set auto battle to basic attacks only. If you're still fighting through GW, it allows you to auto easy teams while not suddenly facing a challenging team with all your special ability cool downs in disarray. It's more of an early game tip, but there it is
Can you do a vid on all these squads plz?
I have to say, for a 2 million GP account, yours is way better in many ways than accounts with 3 million GP or higher. Kudos to you!
People tend to scoff at my GP and thats fine but I definitely have some pretty concentrated focus at the top that has helped me stay competitive in the arena for a long time. Cheers!
Your intro is the best dude love it
Until he loses another bet! Lol!
Isn’t there a speed primary too?
yeah but that one is obvious to get
Phig Newt the speed primary is the arrow shaped mod
Yes, but only on your arrows.
Awesome vid, thanks for the tips
Thanks for sharing your awesome tips! It really helped me out.
How did u get Rey without a 7* FO Team?..no FO no BB8, no BB8 no Rey?
I fav toons I’m working on also like cap han which then I use to buy FOO shards in guild store. Farm DN for shards I also might get mk 8 binos I need for yoda whose on my arena team. Does it always work out perfect, hardly but increasing my chances is the approach here.
Cubs thank you I looked in my mod store and found a crit chance mod that had +4 speed and when at lvl 15 +10 speed which I’m extremely happy with
Awesome!!
You should always refresh the shard shop only 25 Crystal and you can get pretty decent Gear from that. Especially if you dont have the Crystal for buying Gear in shippments.
+1
I wouldn't recommend this, especially for mid-game players who won't have much shard currency most of the time
Aiden Helie if the complete all of there GW the should get it quite frequently
@@zacharydavis9526 yeah but that takes a while, especially for players who haven't beaten gw 150 times
@@zacharydavis9526 It's not bad advice for late/ end game playera
I would also add to favourites tab. Ship energy farms.
I hit lvl 85 a few months ago and added these hard node farms for my dailies: Sion, nihilus, talzin, veers(mainly for gear 6D), bosk and baze. I use 1-2 Crystal refresh a day and I figure I'll kick myself if I delay any of these hard farms. I also hate that I'm in a position of wanting jtr and having to farm the veterans instead of other more viable characters in cantina.
NorthAmericanScum I'm stuck in same boat and the vets are killing me.. namely vet Han. . Chewie is almost finished but I've spent x4 the amount of energy on Han and he is still halfway to 5star.. sometimes I can go 2 days without a single han shard up to 5max a day with 3 refreshes.. this is almost unheard of with Chewie who almost always drops for me... it's like my Han node is bugged
+John Dee I've started with vet Han first so it's refreshing to hear chewie has a better drop rate. So yeah, vet Han drop is garbage-thanks Capital Games...
NorthAmericanScum I hope rmgjeesus is the same 4 u on chewie. . Also the node brings in an absurd amount of purple ability points.. 16energy cantina seems to be the sweet spot for those purples ;) .. dang and jtr is here in like a month?.. I hope it's a long month away haha
John Dee I finally got my han to 6* and I haven't even started on chewie. even with 2 or 3 cantina refreshes I doubt I'll make it by the time she comes back around. Best of luck to you as well and I'll pray to rngjesus for both of us.
definitely! change buy data cards to squad management
Song at the end?
I've been surviving off of < 500k credits for the past month, sadbois (leveling up toons sucks)
Thanks for sharing your main account! ^^ And your tips! very thankful CubHan
The mod store is a good tip
Is it bad I have about 270 million credits lol and 40 odd million ship credits
A also have all the tabs broken down nicely so I can see what’s where for the exact same
Sections that you have except for Tb I have a tab for each phase
John Young You're just showing off now! 😃
love the last 2 tips.
Where can I go to sale one of my accounts that I don't want anymore? It has like 1.1 million GP? And how much could I sale it for? I have too many accounts need to focus on just a couple. That's a tip I need
www.playerup.com/accounts/swghaccount/
I used this selling my 1mil gp account for 40$ but depends what you have
Wait... why don't you have a speed set on Yoda?
His base speed gives you a 16 bonus from the set. How bad are your other speed set mods? Lol
Not to mention you could use the arrow as an easy 1 of 4 to meet the speed set req.
Just keep your two best mods and use 3 other comparable speed sets, and use those other random high speed sec mods on other people
I’m perfectly content with +119 speed added to my yoda. I have my fastest speed secondary on him and that didn’t leave room for a set without sacrificing a bit. He goes first in every battle. My sets for other toons are fine. Everyone needs to work with what they got.
CubsFan Han I'm not trying to argue that Yoda needs to be faster. That's plenty fast. I'm just trying to point out that the way you get the isn't very efficient.
Even if the three speed mods you swapped out were 5 speed slower, Yodas base speed would still be +1 faster. Leaving three of your best speed sec mods to go to others.
My only available speed set that is good is on HY. I like having that on him and the current mods I have on yoda are working great for me. I'll agree to disagree.
Great video as usual cubs!
Lately I’ve farmed speed mods in mod challenges and got 5-6 +30 speed arrows and a couple good speed secondary mods...but yes it’s luck of the draw
I have an events tab for assault battles, ewok, talzin etc.
Cubs how is it that I have more GP than you and yet I just joined a guild that is doing hstr raids?
I’m very f2p and frankly play very casually.
is that your main account?
yes.
CubsFan Han really not a fan of the dark side Eh!?
Might want to fix your poor man's chex mix, can't use ezra twice in heroic :)
Great nuggets!
crouching rancor....sounds like the star wars version of crouching tiger hidden dragon
Why 12 and not level 15?
All 4 secondary stats unlock at 12
Put that gear 12 piece on R2D2! Stressing me out...
