Great video - pretty much identical to my own resource allocations - one caveat here is Conquest currency. If you don't need it for character shards, you'll likely have some left over after buying all of the signal data. I usually spend that on G12 gear as it doesn't really pay to hold on to it, and I so rarely need to buy consumables. It's always a nice boost to whatever I happen to be putting gear on at the time.
As always, a very smart and informative video. Even though I seem to make most of the same spending decisions that you outline here, I still find it very valuable to hear your analysis. The only place where we significantly differ is around the Legend Tokens. While I appreciate the value of the Omicron mats, that kyrotech crunch has me spending Legend Tokens on those pieces, and I feel they are a good value. Keep up the great work. I greatly appreciate your insights.
For efficiency in the guild tokens section for that cheap items tier there's a 10pack of the mk7 blastech mods complete item not salvage for 150 guild tokens. It is by far the most efficient way to obtain chromium transistors in the game, about 30 of them for 150 guild tokens.
great info here man. Confirms what I've been doing for years so thats nice. I do think it's worth a mention that the level 2 datacron material is only available with ally points if you don't want to spend crystals, so people may want to consider that. And yes I know the rate sucks.
Coming from someone who has had to start farming KAM from the beginning with GET3, I would recommend buying kyro and just praying they release a different way to acquire him. Years after release, still one of if not the hardest character to get in the game
I'm buying mods from the mod store every time I have a surplus of credits. If you have 20mio+, no reason not to spend it. Getting a lot from the raid currency
Mk2 datacron tokens or whatever their name is can only be purchased with crystals of ally points. Might make sense to do that at the start of a datacron set, even though the exchange rate is terrible.
I will purchase mods if there is a secondary speed on it (ideally 5+ secondary) if it is a Speed Arrow speed, or crit damage triangle with secondary speed
For Galactic War tokens, there seems to be no difference in the 'conversion rate' (to shard shop currency) between buying ships or toons - for 400 Galactic War tokens you basically get 150 shard shop currency at the other end.
@@Xaereth Ok, I see the difference now. 400 galactic war tokens = 4 ship = 152 and 10 character = 150 shard shop currency. It's a small difference but I guess it adds up over time.
those mark 8 nubians aren't the ones u want. (it's the mark 7s). the mark 8's go with that armatek tactical data prototype salvage that is like the only two pieces in this game that you can't scrap for relic material (electriums). i have like 2000 of each that are worthless now. (i guess maybe i have alot of these from the HSR ... for the longest time i bought all the 360 ones on these until i realized this piece couldn't be scrapped. when i took alot of the bottom 30 characters in the game up to g12, none of them required this piece either)
I can somewhat afford buying mods in the mod store, just not with ship credits. I can only keep around 10 mil and that goes quickly when upgrading ships
i played a bunch years ago then came back now, somehow i have 11k of the mk 2 pulse modulator (yellow mod piece) but cannot for the life of me get enough of any of the other mod mats... weird how that thing is in demand now lol
Hi, if I need keypad, should I just wait for the shop 500 packs comes around? Also how much Aero and Impulse I need to stock pile until I can redeem Zeta with MKIII?
So many years into it,and at 11.7M gp,i never realised thay gyrda is that terrible to buy with mk3,not that it is much time around ,or we can do the math all time.😅
no buy character shards with those green galactic war tokens, i used to buy the ship shards, but you get 10 character shards instead of 5 ship tokens. So get the character shards instead
@@Xaereth Of course they are! at times even more valuable than omicrons. So many mods need slicing. One can never farm enough of those just on the mod nodes.
@@CalvinAwesome Yes, but being bad value still doesn't make them 'not' needed. 😂 15 of these for the 1st slice, 25 for the 2nd slice, 40 for the 3rd, etc. One can farm only so many via the mod nodes a day, 50 crystals refreshes and maybe 100 crystals refreshes. The Legend token store is the only other place to get them. 20+ speed mods don't drop from trees.
@@kwan3560them being "needed" is only remotely relevant if there weren't other sources to farm them, and there are two far superior places to get them. (GET3 and crystal refreshes) If your only criteria for buying something is that it's "needed" you're setting yourself up for efficiency failure
1520 kyro-7s??? whaaaat? how is that possible? I am in such a desperate need of a few hundred of them right now, leveling up my inquis squad, to finally get the grand inquisitor.. *sigh*
What do you think about the theory that the 4 gear pieces available for credits on the first page of the featured shipment have an impact on the jawa scavenger daily deals? I have read that not buying the gear would lead to better deals, especially the signal data deals. Tin foil hat theory or does it have legs?
I don't think CG is that deep. They're probably just looking at what you have favorited and in the absence of that offering a random deal or looking at the last toon you upgraded. It's a neat idea, but I feel like it wouldn't be worth the effort for them when there are easier ways to serve you with targeted deals.
What if u favorite nothing? I'm pretty sure I've manipulated the system to be mostly relic mats and signal data by repeatedly searching for it. My favorite list is toons I'm working on the mods of. I use squad builders to favorite for farming and gearing. Easier for my brain. 🤷
When you were discussing squad arena currency and said "it could take you awhile to get it up to that level" and that wasn't immediately followed by "that's what she said" I just stopped watching.
We need to GET2 mounting the algorithm
Hah, nice one!

Thanks - my favorite type of video for helping with resource management!
My pleasure!
This is a great video for new and advanced players alike.
I've been needing this video for a very long time.....
Great video for early game players. Very informative and concise. Keep up the good work Xaereth.
Great job. Well organized and presented clearly. Thank you!
just started a f2p account and want to really excel. thanks for the video
Thanks, Mr X. Most of information I've already knew. But still find something usefull.

Love the video. Pretty much matches my own farming strategies so I shared it with my guild.
Awesome, thank you :-)
Thanks, great info as always.
Love these videos. They've helped Me optimize My currency spending and have sped up My farms. Thank you
I hate that KAM is only in GET3. It makes it a hard barrier for guilds that don't have him for ROTE
Yep. Agreed
Mejor explicado no se puede tener!! Muchas gracias!!
great breakdown
Thank you :-)
The only thing to buy with the OG guild tokens is the gear in spots 13 & 14. These turn into bronzium wiring, CCB, and chromium.

For once in my life i mounted the algorithm and it tried to mount me.
Seems fair and enjoyable!
Hello there,
Great Video!
What is the best thing with Gems in your opinion?
Go go go mount
Good Job!

What’s your go to for g12 purple pieces. They seem to be my biggest bottleneck
I've never bought a mod with credits, but I would if it was a perfect mod. I rarely check them tho
So many years into it,and at 11.7M gp,i never realised thay gyrda is that terrible to buy with mk3,not that it is much time around ,or we can do the math all time.😅

Nope, you still get more for the ships. Test it if you don't believe me 😀
@@Xaereth I checked and i have to admit your actually right. Even get more then with 10 character shards
I hope this mounting means a lot
It does, thank you :-)
Any suggestions for counters for Herra + old Rex?
What about Mk7 BlasTech Weapon from Guild activity shop to get Chromiums, is this not still the best item to farm for those?
Yep, amazing value :-)
Just surprised you didn’t list them in the good buys for that currency
You missed mentioning the Micro Attenuators from the Legend Tokens.
You think those are worth tokens?
@@Xaereth Of course they are! at times even more valuable than omicrons. So many mods need slicing. One can never farm enough of those just on the mod nodes.
Micro Attens have the worst value from that store.
