Thank you for the video! I appreciate the simple graphics that make it easy to follow, understand and idiot proof for people such as myself. I’m super busy irl, and appreciate the clear, simple, logical, and fun of your videos. Keep up the great work! I hope I can count on your support in all future GL Wedge efforts.
I've been spending guild tokens on pieces that convert to bronzium anytime I see something the past few months and it really adds up. I don't remember anyone ever bringing that up in all the relic farming guides I've watched but it's worth a mention.
I didn’t see if you mentioned it or not but another side effect of 7-b and why it’s so good is you’re getting the BW piece (the green one you also get from fleet) AND you get the salvage used in one of the CT items too (mk 7 BAW armor). You can also buy those items in the guild store fully crafted but you can also combine them. LS 7-B for president
Awesome Efficiency vids are honestly one of my favorite types of videos. It can help all levels of players and helps to relieve the grind of bottlenecks within the game. Thank you, Calvin, as always!!!
The Mk V droid callers can also be used for Aurodium heat sinks eventually because you will have a lot of extra, I use just enough to get my total of heat sinks to a "round number", if I am awarded heatsinks as loot elsewhere since they are used in multiples of 20, and the fully crafted holo projectors give you 5 at a time.
Fixed my bronzium by organizing my kyro farming. Only farm shock prods through energy, use various currencies (Guild Event II and III, Grand Arena) on the computers.
Solid info for people who don’t know. I hadn’t really thought about what to do for bronzium if I ever get through the kyro bottleneck, but that’s probably over a year away. Have to spend the kyros on the SM team farms first.
Calvin. Calvin. CALVIN. YOU CAN LOCK GEAR PIECES FOR SALVAGE!?!?!?!?! You just changed the whole salvage game for me. I've been looking up the "safe to salvage" spreadsheet. Every. Single. Time. THANK YOU!!!
Great video knew most of it but good to see the numbers. 60% better buying carbonite circuit boards fort 500 crystals, Also thanks for the spread sheet on episode shipment currency expense... omi and kyros first then gear.....
My problem is that if you buy the episode pass, you end up with such a glut of episode currency that you pretty much HAVE to buy the ccbs/bws even with the inefficiency. (also I'm jealous of people who aren't constantly in need of g12 medpacs)
Thanks for adding Bronziums to the chart. Seeing the numbers, I think I'll probably still buy bronziums. I'm already buying the omis, kyros, and mk2 thermals. If there's any currency left over, I need bronziums more than I need other mod slicing mats or g12 pieces (despite hitting LS7B, fleet 1D, and buying the relevant guild and arena store pieces). It doesn't help that all the marquee shard farms going on right now take a lot of energy away from LS7B farming.
Super small efficiency boost: for the chromium transistors I convert the ones that I have thousands of as well (keeping a hoard at like 1000 each). It opens up slightly more guild tokens for the other gear I can get with that currency.
I find it interesting that CG addressed the issue with CCB several years ago, clearly stating that particular relic material is not supposed to be a bottleneck for the ingame economy balance but they saw a small portion of the players where that didn’t work as intended. And then they never followed up on that or tried fixing it. So they saw a problem waaaay back and could have fixed it before it grew into a problem for more players but chose to do nothing.
Light side 1D is actually better value for farming carbonadiums as it drops 4 pieces that can be scrapped, but more of them (12 on node 1D vs 10 on 1C). You might find that changes the math a little.
Hi, i had a question about relics. I have a pretty small account, so i decided i have to ask a long time before. What the best way to farm droid brains and aeromagnifires? (I am farming profundity, so i need Kassian and Raddus).
I used to farm Kyro laptops as the salvage for CCBs was free there, but the problem is you need a lot more shockprods.. Everyone is slightly different; if you have 'enough' Bronziums, may as well farm the laptops
hey thx for this really nice video, the only question i have is the crafting thing. The only way i can do it is with a char which needs the material so i did it with the blastech teebo and now i realized the aurodium heatsink is needed by huyang. I have no clue how you did this with the slider its not there on the pc client nor ios
Ended up buying the hyper bundle, ten dollars was just a steal for everything included. Now I'm just wondering how long that will actually help my bronzium wiring problems
Living in a Country with Anti-Gambling laws, where all packs that has RNG are removed, including the Free ones. Missing out on those 500 Crystal Relic Amplifier Packs are starting to hurt. I would spend so much crystals for the bronzium wiring and Carbonite boards... Back in the day i would work on a character and thx to these packs i'd be all set to get them to Relic 5-7 whenever they would reach Gear 13... But now while i work on one character at a time, most of the time now i don't have its Relic mats rdy in time when they reach Gear 13.
Been farming ds tickets for gl with my spare energy for a while in the ds kyro node it is also good for ccb as it gives mk 1 nubian design..... (+ kyros) which is the best conversion from the scavenger for ccb
isn’t the light side 1-D the best node to farm for carbonite salvage? it drops 6 pcs of mk 1 cec fusion furnace on top of the 3 other mk 1 gears that can also be salvaged for carbonite..
Buying the mk4 - mk6 full gear pieces for 100 guild tokens and then turning them into bronzium is one of the best ways to turn your guild tokens into bronzium wiring
In an emergency for chromium transistors theres also the mk7 nuerosav binoculars that you can spend 1200 crystals on for 500 transistors worth but if you keep up with the guild store stuff shouldnt need to
Having the season pass and the therefore stupid amount of store currency, I don't mind buying a few extra CCBs and Bronziums there. Without it, yeah, I concede, there is no point. I farm LS7B for Bronziums and Fleet 3A for CCBs and Zimbiddles these days. That balance works for me. Bronziums is my bottleneck, but I also don't refresh the store at all (unless shard farming), so I save up the crystals for packs.
@ don’t tell Calvin, but i’ve been buying the 180 ccb for 900 crystals when i’m low 🙊 gonna stop doing that now though and get the 500 crystal pack instead
@ oh definitely check it out. I learned about 1D from one of your videos, so I thought I’d check around and see if there were other gems I missed. Once I got to 1k BW from 1D, I swapped to 1A for CCBs. It’s a lot slower going, but it’s nice to be saving crystals not buying a ton of those 500c packs.
At an eyes glance it looks okayish. It has half the amount the normal energy node does, it's cheaper but that's probably not enough to make up the difference unless you really are super lopsided in energy usage
@@CalvinAwesome I have way too much guild activity currency so I also supplement my CCB node farming with 2-3 nodes in that store. I just don't know if the trade off is worth it - I could be getting G12 pieces instead of CCB salvage.
You aware of any good DS nodes for either of these? They're a constant bottleneck for me also, and I'm in the middle of a DS GL ticket farm, so gotta farm those DS nodes. Might as well be farming for something I actually need.
@CalvinAwesome I'm not seeing anything great either. Settled with DS 6-D. It's not spectacular, but its 2 salvage pieces and a gear piece I've needed a lot in general. Better than nothing I guess. On the fence whether i should just be farming the DS kyro piece instead.
hey calvin its me roganclips hey what would you think about a new f2p series (i know youre already f2p) but just discovering new stuff from the lens of a new player coming to galaxy of heroes would be cooll anyways thanks for the video
i spent the entire double drops farming LS 1-c/d (after 3500 runs of each ive concluded they produce the same salvage number, just different pieces in different ratios) for carbonite circuit boards. even after, its still my bottle neck.
So needed. I just can’t seem to relic anyone without it taking months 😂 I have no clue how I’m supposed to get my piett to 8. I get like 2 characters to relic 5 and m completely dry of mats
There are rewards sprinkled all over on top of what you can farm. Assault Battles are a great way to get relic mats early, and some of them don’t take as much investment, and some teams double dip on them. Guild currencies go a long way as well. Signal data is the real bottleneck once you get gear sources squared away.
@ Yh I’m slowly getting some teams that can just about get to that stage on the battle. It took me so many tries last night on the rebel roundup haha. I was farming signal data for a while and had like 150 of each. Literally gone in seconds 🤣
Definitely not a main method of farming for wiring, but a supplement farm is to buy the MK 5-6 furnaces with the MK 1 raid currency. 2000 for 125 pieces isn't expensive and since there are two of them, they are in the store most every refresh.
Fleet energy for MK V's? My issue with this is I can never get enouth Mk VI Athakam Medpacs and MK VIII Nubian Scanners, even with using shard shop currency. Those are the 2 biggest bottlenecks on my 2 accounts and don't understand how anyone can use Fleet energy freely.
@CalvinAwesome get 1 is used for them and a couple of the same type pieces that are bottlenecks. i.e. MK7 Nubian Design Tech and MKT Syringes. These are consistent Fleet,Get1, shard shop bottlenecks that you are just passing the problem around if you focus on any one specific one.
Every day I sim 10 battles on LS 1-C for CCB and Fleet Battles 1-D for Wiring on top of shard/kyro farms. For me the pacing of doing it this way is near perfect. By the time I get a character to g13 I have enough to get them to at least R5.
I can reassure you there was quite a bit of effort put into it. Would you mind elaborating on what information was wrong? Stating there was wrong information but neglecting to mention what it was is genuinely unhelpful.

I would like to just say that the era of 'Bearded Calvin' is superior to anything with baby face Calvin. Masterful sir.
I've found this to be the general consensus 😅
This is actually his evil doppelganger "Calvaughn Ossum".
The most important advise for me was the fact that you can lock gear in the salvage screen, I never realized that that's an option before.
Same here, how did CG not put that in game as a forced need to know or did I just click next, next when unlocking Salvage... 😃
Yay!
Thank you for the video! I appreciate the simple graphics that make it easy to follow, understand and idiot proof for people such as myself.

That's really encouraging to hear. I'm always concerned what I'm showing and explaining isn't easy to digest
I've been spending guild tokens on pieces that convert to bronzium anytime I see something the past few months and it really adds up. I don't remember anyone ever bringing that up in all the relic farming guides I've watched but it's worth a mention.
basically the weapons tech 5 and 6 are for Bronzium and 7 is for chromium, jsut a good overall deal, as teh currency is otherwise almost useless
I really dont understand he did not mention it. It's the best way to get bronzium in my opinion together with buying the mk7 for chromium.
I didn’t see if you mentioned it or not but another side effect of 7-b and why it’s so good is you’re getting the BW piece (the green one you also get from fleet) AND you get the salvage used in one of the CT items too (mk 7 BAW armor). You can also buy those items in the guild store fully crafted but you can also combine them. LS 7-B for president
I'd vote
legendary video perfect for someone like me who's transitioning into the gl phase of the game
Smashing!
@@CalvinAwesome please keep up the great work the effort’s appreciated 💪🔥
Ooh, my comment got highlighted for the intro (now I feel so special). Thanks for that and this video!

Thank you. Really appreciate this. Totally missed this avenue to farming!
Intros are getting much better. Smooth transition, not cringy and slightly funny. Interacting with the comments bubbles is a good idea.
Really appreciate the feedback, these have been an unknown territory for me
Solid info for people who don’t know. I hadn’t really thought about what to do for bronzium if I ever get through the kyro bottleneck, but that’s probably over a year away. Have to spend the kyros on the SM team farms first.
Yep, takes some time
This is nice for me since I’m about to unlock Jabba!

YOU CAN LOCK GEAR PIECES FOR SALVAGE!?!?!?!?!
You just changed the whole salvage game for me. I've been looking up the "safe to salvage" spreadsheet. Every. Single. Time.
THANK YOU!!!
You welcome
Great video knew most of it but good to see the numbers. 60% better buying carbonite circuit boards fort 500 crystals, Also thanks for the spread sheet on episode shipment currency expense... omi and kyros first then gear.....
Mods are good value as well if you see any that don’t suck.
We need a video on transitors 😂 thank you!
My problem is that if you buy the episode pass, you end up with such a glut of episode currency that you pretty much HAVE to buy the ccbs/bws even with the inefficiency.
(also I'm jealous of people who aren't constantly in need of g12 medpacs)
I'd go through most of the mod/G12 stuff first tbh. But 120k is a lot
That beard is.. of the highest quality.
Thanks for adding Bronziums to the chart. Seeing the numbers, I think I'll probably still buy bronziums. I'm already buying the omis, kyros, and mk2 thermals.

Well, maybe not after they add more omis to the store. Then I probably won't have extra currency left over.
Super small efficiency boost: for the chromium transistors I convert the ones that I have thousands of as well (keeping a hoard at like 1000 each). It opens up slightly more guild tokens for the other gear I can get with that currency.
Thanks for the vid! Will there be another one for the rest of the pieces?
Yes. LSBs have kinda derailed me
Super helpful, thank you
You're welcome

these videos are really helpful. thanks
Love to hear it
Thanks man. Helped a bunch.
You got it
This was very helpful. Thanks!

And then they never followed up on that or tried fixing it. So they saw a problem waaaay back and could have fixed it before it grew into a problem for more players but chose to do nothing.
Kind of. Their “solution” was to stop requiring CCBs for higher relic levels.
Light side 1D is actually better value for farming carbonadiums as it drops 4 pieces that can be scrapped, but more of them (12 on node 1D vs 10 on 1C). You might find that changes the math a little.
It nets the same amount of pieces. 1-C is also 12
@ you are right, I miscounted. Both are equal value.
Hi, i had a question about relics. I have a pretty small account, so i decided i have to ask a long time before. What the best way to farm droid brains and aeromagnifires? (I am farming profundity, so i need Kassian and Raddus).
MK2-3 is the short answer, that will be a video sometime soon though
great man
If you craft the non salvage (blueprint) of the armatek holo lens for zimbiddle cards does it give you more than if you just did it without crafting?
I don't think so, but we'll cover zims here soon
Will you cover the "Ashoka Rush (LSB) packs"?
Yes
I used to farm Kyro laptops as the salvage for CCBs was free there, but the problem is you need a lot more shockprods.. Everyone is slightly different; if you have 'enough' Bronziums, may as well farm the laptops
Yeah shockprods are needed on more characters in general. I don't think the CCB value is as good though for the laptops
hey thx for this really nice video, the only question i have is the crafting thing.

isn’t the light side 1-D the best node to farm for carbonite salvage? it drops 6 pcs of mk 1 cec fusion furnace on top of the 3 other mk 1 gears that can also be salvaged for carbonite..
Both total 12 pieces of salvage, so same difference
Also for Bronz. Guild Activity shipment-MK I Tokens-Mk 6 Nubian design tech salv. Nearly always in there.
You able to make an info graphic on this making it super easy ?
Possibly? I'm really not experienced in that area
Do you think the slkr Lightspeed bundle will return in the next weeks?
I really don't know
Buying the mk4 - mk6 full gear pieces for 100 guild tokens and then turning them into bronzium is one of the best ways to turn your guild tokens into bronzium wiring
Oh yeah good call out.
Why LS1C vs LS1D ?? MK1 Fusion Furnace at 6 per 6 energy is better value correct?
Don't think so. They come out to the same number of salvage. So not better but not worse
As you normally say: "OK" 😂😂😂
In an emergency for chromium transistors theres also the mk7 nuerosav binoculars that you can spend 1200 crystals on for 500 transistors worth but if you keep up with the guild store stuff shouldnt need to
Ok, do you lock specific things? Or just everything so you don’t click on them by mistake? Not sure how to beat use this feature.
I do lock specific things. CCB specifically I lock all the mk3 stuff that was a bottleneck at one point like carbs
Would LS1D be another good node for Carbonite?
Yep, comes out about the same as LS1C
Having the season pass and the therefore stupid amount of store currency, I don't mind buying a few extra CCBs and Bronziums there. Without it, yeah, I concede, there is no point.

Bronziums is my bottleneck, but I also don't refresh the store at all (unless shard farming), so I save up the crystals for packs.
Yeah I need to do a little more analysis on the pass. 120k is a ton for one month
so basically just buy the 500 crystal packs for CCB and BW when they are in the shop?
For the BW it’s not necessary. Just farm your light side kyrotech and you’re good. CCB buy the pack.
@ don’t tell Calvin, but i’ve been buying the 180 ccb for 900 crystals when i’m low 🙊 gonna stop doing that now though and get the 500 crystal pack instead
More or less yes
Is the bronzium answer "spam the bajeezus out of LS 7B"?.... yup....
Thumbs up, A+ it's just that hard. Double drops were great for it.
What about fleet 1A for CCB? I swap between 1A and 1D depending on my farm list.
Never looked into it to be honest
@ oh definitely check it out. I learned about 1D from one of your videos, so I thought I’d check around and see if there were other gems I missed.
