- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2024
- TLDR: The Anvil Terrapin, The Reclaimer, The Spirit C1, The Anvil Terrapin Medic, Hornet Ghost MKII, Hornet Tracker MKII all have a WB CCU today. The Polaris, Starlancer MAX, Zeus MKII CL and Zeus MKII ES still have WB CCU as well. Lots of concept CCU available.
I always appreciate it when you use my Star Citizen Referral Code: STAR-2RBQ-K62S
I am less than 60 referrals away from the Glaive! If you're feeling generous please use my referral code on your next CCU account!

Hey Zi-Tek! Thanks for covering the Zeus. I'm part of the CCU game discord and was discussing it there with them as that's what many of the experienced people recommended. I will try to relay what I heard from them as best as I can:
Let's say we have a chain A->B->C where B is a concept. Because we have "anchored" B (with A->B and B->C) it can move wherever it wants and still be applied in the chain to go from A->B->C. This is assuming all of these CCUs are in your hangar, not buyback. There are a few benefits to this:
1. It lowers total new money spent as it splits the chain between store credit and WB
2. Allows for speculative increase on A->B
3. Functions the same as a direct connection(A->C) in principle, since B is anchored.
It's worth noting that if B had a massive increase, although you could still apply it in the A->B->C chain, it may not make the most sense if B is significantly past the price of C. Let me know if you have any questions, I hope I've explained this well enough. I'm still learning about this as well!
I don't know if you meant this to be a rebuttal to my post or not. In any case: I fully agree with you!
It is kind of what I was getting at. You covered everything I believe.
@@Idontknowinder Hey! I'm not sure what post you're referring too. I tried to cover everything to the degree that I understand it haha.
So they have validated that B can go higher in price than C and still get applied? If so that opens up quite a few more options.
@@Zi-TekGaming this has always been the case as far as i know. the only thing to mention here is, you cant get those CCUs back if they are in your buyback (in case they would apply negative value. i.e B=>C in this example)
All I can find is that a few people have said they actually applied these negative CCUs but they were all pre-2020. I cant find anything from CIG/Devs now that say either way that its possible or not possible. That means I'll have to verify it myself! Taking one for the team if need be. Or if you know someone thats done it recently?
Was able to get all the BIS upgrades and ship with CCUing. It all paid off.
Love hearing that.
finally the c1 warbond - picked up a few cutty blacks to c1s now if only they could do some sub £100 warbonds I could complete so many chains😂
Nice! Here's hoping for the finale!
Keep an eye on the next 3 days. I am waiting to see at least one so I can complete a chain between the 65-110 or maybe a cutty black to move my one chain.
the reclaimer ccu best choice is the glaive as it's always available once you beat vandul swarm and it goes on wb ccu
True! CCU app led me a stray unfortunately. I actually have one of these in my hangar. Also the better option, unless you specifically need the Reclaimer in your chain, may be to speculate with the Valk-Galaxy concept price CCU.
Spend $30 save $65 is a pretty good deal in the $155-$250 ship range. Currently have 4 of these chains going on.
Great day for your chains then!
The Glaive had a $20 off warbond this year, I think it was alien week but not positive, I am positive that there are some of them in my hangar though.
the ap is great but not always accurate on that history section.
I just got the Glaive for 210$ 😊
Nice catch. You're right. I should have checked my hangar! Its even listed in the My CCUs list on the app, just didnt show when looking at the ship.
Damn I missed that
of course speculation on the zeus MR can save you a lot down the line
Right! Especially if not trying to use it at the Medic, going beyond that is where teh MR shines as a speculative CCU.
Tried trading up from a Redeemer to a Paladin, bit that was a no go. I can give up the Inferno plus $50 to pick one up.
why not just buy a Harbinger to Paladin concept CCU and fill in the rest later?
Helped a buddy turn his $400 outright reclaimer into a galaxy AND reclaimer with just about 100 bucks additional money. And I'm 50% on an ironclad assault so far
Love it!
Hey,
great video, really helps me out a lot as a starter.
Just a quick question: Do I have to apply the "best in show" CCUs e.g. for the C1 by tomorrow in order to receive the additional paint and poster, or can the CCUs sit in my account for a year and whenever I apply them later on, I'll receive the goodies?
Wished I would've found your account earlier. Keep up the great work!
Paints don't get added until you apply the CCU. So it will be tied to the CCU you purchased but won't be available to use in game until you apply it in a chain. So whenever you do make a chain with it you'll get the bonus stuff too. Odd I know but that's how last years went.
IF you already had one of the 4 ships that made the final four, you will get a separate paint that should be usable right now without buying a CCU.
To add clarity, the paints being added only apply to the CCUs. If you have the ship in your hangar you should get them Dec2nd or the end of IAE.
that drop on the starfarer gemini from 20 to 25 dollars off today screwed me. cig stop doing nice things, they break my chains
Lol, it's odd how that can happen.
Hi! Loving this daily videos, thanks a lot for your work!
Dumb question, but, couldnt find anywhere the anwser, if I CCU to, for example, the Warbond Reclaimer with the skin, then, upgrade this Reclaimer to something else, do I keep the skin?
Yes. The skin stays even if you move the chain beyond it.
Thank you Zi-Tek
Welcome
And I was READY to leave a like on this video... but you just HAD to do it DIDN'T YA?!! 😜
Yes, yes I did
The warbond best in shows individual ships for all 4 ships is through the IAE page on the RSI sight correct? or through the CCU ship upgrade.
Both in the stand alone ships section as well as the CCU section. Get there from navigating through the "Other" section after you get to the pledge store.
And it only shows the F8 in the stand alone ships section if you unlocked it. There is no CCU to the F8.
I knew I should’ve waited for your video. I got the glaive to the reclaimer 😅. 25 bucks down the drain.
You can exchange that CCU for in store credit 24hrs after purchase
You can in fact get a refund by puting in a ticket. Also... There WAS a Glaive wb CCU but it's rare*. I found one in my hangar after making this video. Ccugameapp isn't perfect!
@@Zi-TekGaming I thought I had seen one last alien week, hence why I chose the CCU. Good to know I’m not crazy lol. Fingers crossed it will come back next go around 🤞
You can 100% CCU to a Glaive (i have a CCU’ed Glaive).
I found one in my hangar after someone brought it up. Always have to check my hangar after checking the CCUgame app from now on.
@@Zi-TekGaming the CCU App is fantastic but nothing is infallible. My Glaive is 60% off so just sitting and waiting for the rework :)
@honey-fe6pj Fantastic! Love hearing discounts that deep!
I got my crystal ball out for the grand finale, I'm seeing a slew of $10 CCUs for the Sabre Peregrine, then Sabre Firebird, then Vulture, then the Retaliator and rounding it out with the Cutlass Blue. Enjoy IAE folks!
Sonofa.....lol. you're probably not far off.
Yes please for the Tali!
Why are you using store credit to go from Zeus ES to F7C-R, then from F7C-R to Zeus MR, instead of going directly from Zeus ES to Zeus MR for the same cost, but in a single upgrade?
Just showing the multiple ways to navigate those chain links.
Will there be new warbonds EACH DAY of the finale?
Unknown. It seems like we will get a set of WB CCU that will stay through the Finale days but I'll let you make your own mind up based on the Dev's words below.
Straight from the thread on Spectrum by Freyja Vanadis
Will there be Warbond Daily Deals available?
Yes. Check back each day throughout the expo to see what's available. Each Warbond Daily Deal will run for 24 hours only. This year’s Finale (December 2, 16:00 UTC - December 5, 20:00 UTC) will include a refresh with new Warbond Offers that will feature only at this time for select manufacturers, replacing the prior daily deal ones.
Are you sure we cant apply ccu from a concept to non concept after price increase of concept? AS far as I know if you have a ccu in your hanger (not on buy back) you can apply your ccu even if concept ship from which you are upgrading from costs more than the ship you are upgrading to. Kindly confirm. Thank you for the video.
Last I saw a dev said this wont work. I have no way of confirming it right now and I cant find the thread in spectrum. Ill see if I can build a chain and actually use/apply one of those backwards links. Then make a video. Hopefully I can!
I was curious about this too. Old school backer, and kicking in my hangar were two Warden to Merchantman CCUs, that I bought for $0 back in like 2016. These work, despite the Merchantman going up in price. In my buy backs is a Retaliator to Constellation Aquila I also paid 0 for that is now $140 if I try and buy it back. So the buy back CCUs 100% alter. I bought the same CCU for $0 going the other way, Constellation Aquila to Realtiator in my hangar (both made in 2016), which I now cannot melt (error message is this item is not reclaimable), but when I hit apply from the hangar it does want me to pick a Constellation ...so it seems like it might work. I don't know if these are grandfathered in in some way, etc...but just more color to the discussion.
07 zaitekkk. Will Reclaimer WB stay for 3-4 days?
Last year I bought an Arrastra for 380 USD. Where are last year's many warbonds? Should I wait until 5th december?
The BIS stuff may only be for 1 day. They weren't clear on them staying or leaving.
@Zi-TekGaming will we see other many ccu warbonds until 5 december?
Its unknown if we will see new WB each day, or if we will see new WB on Dec2 that will stay till the end of the event. Of course I'll cover it though :)
Does the Terrapin BIS paint apply to the medic?
Kind of weird how thats set up.
In the past most paints fit a hull. I've heard this was going to be the same in this case but I have no way to validate that.
Is there a Warbond CCU to a PTV? I can really use one.
LOL
what is the name of the song?
So I shouldn't get the reclaimer WB CCU is my end goal isn't reclaimer? Is there a better choice in that price category?
Whats your end goal ship? I'd need to know that to make any recommendations around this price point.
@Zi-TekGaming let's say Arrastra or the Ironclad assault. Because I already got a Gemini to Valk yesterday, I'm just thinking if it's necessary for an extra Reclaimer WBCCU. Cuz it's not really an effective upgrade. Also, I checked on reddit someone did infact CCU backwards but it was like 3 yrs ago
The Reclaimer is one of the few current options around that price point so if you want to lock in that link you can certainly do it.
You could speculate as well with the Valk -> Galaxy Concept CCU and hope the Galaxy goes well beyond the Reclaimer $$. Which it most likely will. Galaxy will probably be close to the Prowler/Ironclad on release. This would allow you to spend $5 of store credit and bypass the Reclaimer entirely (most likely).
Wait if i already own the f8c will i get the best in show edition skin i don’t see it anywhere in the store
Yes you should. I dont recall the dates needed though. You may have been required to have it during the BIS contest.
I'm just waiting for my 600i to get its gold pass before I feel comfortable buying any new ships.
I hear that.
Hey ZT, I'm only now starting to really understand all this so bare with me but I have a question; would it be a better course of action for me melt everything I currently own which is about 400 USD and then buy the cheapest ship package with real cash and try chaining from there? Or do you recommend another alternative?
You cannot use store credit on warbonds
@@frogger2011ify I know that. That's not what I was asking.
This is a question I had a while back and this is what I did.
I actually liked the ship I pledged a package with so I kept my Nomad but I melted the other stuff I had.
I've used that credit up on speculation concept CCU and have some to play with when something like the ATLS comes out. I only spend new cash on WB now and will have all the ships I want by the end with probably a stupid amount of meltable WBCCU to apply to a few mid range ships.
If there is a game pack out right now that you like then sure go for it. Let that be your 10 year always have ship and leave it there. Then start buying WB CCU on second and third accounts to get all those referral rewards. If you havent seen my referral reward video watch it right now, or at least before you start doing this because it has key information. th-cam.com/video/58lDgE_e7lQ/w-d-xo.html
Also check out my master class as well. It's old but relevant still.
Use whatever credit you have on concept CCU and hold them till needed or save some of it for buying 10 year smaller ships to try out along the way, then using it ultimately for gap fills to finish a chain.
Never found a golden ticket. So sadge. Also, can't get the F8C unless you've turned in a golden ticket or have made 10K in purchases to reach the Concierge level that gives you one for free.
Bummer but the reality is that it only frees up the ability to spend an additional $300 in store credit, or more with WB.
I've always seen people offering their extra tickets for free when people ask for one in global, you can definitely get one if you really want one
@@TomOliverez Finally got someone to give me one today. The thing about this skin, is that it will be very rare as well. You can only get this skin for the F8C during this event only. If you melt down that F8C, then you lose the skin. So will be one of the rarest of not the rarest skin in the game going forward.
had my a2 for $260, so got my polaris for $360 :) took 3 years haha
Well worth the wait! Especially with the price increase. That's like 1/3rd!
And your stuck with it, cant melt it, cant use that $360 credit for anything.......stuck with a Polaris? hahah
@davewills6121 very happy with that. I have 300 if store credit to play around with as well as another few ships in my fleet !
@@ccynth4060 Cant beat store credit, melted $5000+ of....well my whole fleet of ships, and its the best move ive made to date.
Why was the zeus mr bad for if you not applying it right away?
If you are using it in a chain and you are also buying the MR to Terrapin it is bad if you let it sit because the MR price increase will not allow you to use it. IE the game won't let you apply that upgrade because it will be more than the terrapin.
@@Zi-TekGaming that's what i thought! Thanks!
Has this happened in the past? I thought that as long as you had a CCU, you could apply it
cause they will increase its price and then the ccu is broken you cant apply it anymore.
CIG has stated you can't go backwards. That's all I have. Even if it could be applied you probably wouldn't want to because you'd then have to pay non warbond price from the terrapin to the max, or whatever link then makes sense.
Thinking Perhaps Time to melt some LTI ships for credits assuming i can buy back the LTI token when i need them
or perhaps some CCU links i have no use of atm..
Only if you don't want them. I don't think you get the discount price with a buyback. I'm not an expert here for sure as I havent melted any WB CCU before.
