I know how sgas work. I said this because it's my order of operations. Get content relevant gear>grind said gear to max>then worry about slapping augments and ssa's on them.
However I just checked out the shop. None of the capsules are tradable. So I guess I can't be lazy. Though I don't have the meseta to really buy into badges.
My best bet is probably to spend irl money on a ticket I care about before the shop goes away. Still. 40 badges for one single capsule seems steep as hell.
When I have my characters have gear that they won't be swapping off of is when I'll go after ssa's.
Considering how easy it is to passively earn a few mill just by playing on top of running your weeklies I very much doubt that. Prices would've been absurd for them months ago if it was going to have any impact on them.
They are. I'm assuming they will exist in a future mission pass or SG scratch. The Idola scratch has the hair's featured here but i'm not sure about the accessories on the hair themselves.
I haven't looked at prices for OU's in the past week so it's entirely possible it boosted up since then. I know more current scratch OU's can average 1-5mill depending on what it is. But the older ones should be closer to the number I mentioned. I'll look later today.
Anyway doing what I mentioned is how I've built up SG over time. It also helps that I get 200SG every time a new mission pass drops because i've been buying premium monthly since launch of global. I'm usually sitting on anywhere from 3-5k in SG because I semi frequently buy from FF and i've never done a single SG scratch.
I was planning on dumping on Mother's desciples but then astral guardians came out. And now instead of trying to pick between the two i'm just waiting to see what the next one will have to make my choice.
I mean, you can easily by a drip fed amount from the casino. Just only buy the 1 bundle one as the other one is definitely not worth it. Then you always have the ability to buy OU's that have gems to collect. average price on ship 2 is like 3-500k which is basically chump change in this day and age. After you've bled the OU's of the gems you can turn them into recycle badges to either resell on the market or horde until we get the limited store that will let you turn recycle badges into augment safety consumables. Which if those can be sold (I don't know) is more money for you or at the least makes augmenting your gear much less painful.
Finally. Hoping the next SG scratch we get is full of EP6 villian stuff so I can dump my SG there.
I'm still rocking double atlas for my Hero because i'm not willing to drop 15-20mill to upgrade to EX when I can just wait to make trailblazers or get a handout from the later weapon series coming soon. My phantom has an atlas ex rifle and a trailblazer katana and I very much doubt i'm going to give her any better weapons. Finally my ET is going to rock rivalrate soaring blades. Not sure what i'll make as her double saber or wand though.
But yeah. Current content doesn't need EX gear imo. At least on hero.
Aside from the lack of the UB exchange not being in yet I don't really agree with the post. I don't feel starved for content and I only play three characters.
Then again I play the game super casually and give no cares about min maxing. So maybe I'm the odd one out.
