5 BEST Ways to Grow Quickly in SWGOH 2024

[@BLP04]

Number 1: drop them credit card details

[@CalvinAwesome]

That does help

[@kaimorris2970]

Indeed, thats the main one im afraid

[@admcnich]

Awesome advice! I am torn about the guild advice, I know that my current guild is holding me back in certain ways, but the guild fits my lifestyle. I own a farm so am super busy in the spring, Summer, and Fall, and have downtime in the winter. I play every day but have more time and mental energy in the winter, so a casual guild fits my life. So nice to not have the stress and pressure of guild stuff, but it sucks getting 3-5 Reva shards.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lifestyle definitely fits into things. If you're not able to perform the same half the time then maybe it's best for you to stay. There might be a guild somewhere that could accommodate both?

[@brillcouncil4584]

There are more and less intense guilds at every gp. No harm in looking around....

Fleet arena for crystals is a lost cause for me, my heart sank when all I saw in the leaderboards were 7 star negotiators from light speed bundles 😭😭

[@JediMasterRevenantMADNESS]

Nobody ever gave me the advice to go wide first, that was just what my mind drew me towards doing when I came back in 2022. So pretty validating to hear one of the smartest SWGOH youtubers echo that idea and concept. I know now I did the right thing in practice, minus not going for more of the core 8 lol.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Back when SA was a thing and the other game modes were a lot more limited going high might've been better. But yeah, that's just not the landscape of the game anymore. So much to benefit from going wide

[@brianwilson2789]

I have been around almost 7 years and made sooo many mistakes early. Went too wide (gearing everyone, no matter how useful), stayed in weak guilds too long, didn’t build up fleets, etc. Reversed most of that. Follow 4/5 of your points. I finish top 3 or 4 in almost every mode in my guild, but don’t want to leave them. Most guilds at the next step would probably need more time commitment and coordination. And I really like the people I am with. But your advice is true over all, especially early on.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Your guild point is a good one. At a certain point moving to the next level could require a level of commitment most people would no longer enjoy the game at. Thanks for your feedback!

[@russsian1582]

I was number one in every single guild event. I just left today. The rewards are going to be so much better.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Woot!

[@DK-421]

It's great when you can find a solid alliance as well, as "usually" those guilds will be focused on growth.

[@Dbad101]

Leaving a guild you been with since you started is effin hard lol

[@CalvinAwesome]

No denying that

[@batmanwins5701]

I spent my first year in my starter guild and it was tough to leave but I'm so happy I did and I brought a couple of my favorite guys over to my new guild so it's been nice to continue to have those friends and get better rewards

[@tedcox3586]

@@batmanwins5701 ahh, a poacher...

[@batmanwins5701]

@@tedcox3586 the guild pretty much dissolved when I left and they asked to join me. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with recruitment, giving people a better place to play is a kind act.

[@tedcox3586]

@batmanwins5701 ok, well if it's as you say. I had some old guildmates left, came back "home" left again with several of our players...to a pretty much same level guild...I think wat shards were the complaint. Years later, we are still here, they, not so much. Leaving a guild is a touchy subject. Do what you have to do, but communicate. And don't backstab.

[@TheFloon]

I never thought I'd be advocating for an alliance for guilds, but when I restarted last year I had a guild in one take me. Starting with H STR rewards from the very beginning was incredible for growth, and I've been promoted up 2 guilds so far, the 2nd time before I even thought I was ready for a promotion, and it's been so awesome. I'm sure there are plenty of bad alliances out there, but if you can find one that wants you to grow with them, they can make a huge difference to your roster over time.

Mission accomplished!

[@RaulRodriguezasteroides]

Muchas gracias master, buenos consejos!!

[@CalvinAwesome]

De nada!

[@intersepter3332]

Yeah hey Cal !! - lots of pros and cons your information is spot on. Now if you could explain how long it takes to get to 7 stars ( characters or ships ) monthly rotation drops or weekly, drops , getting same ship shards and avoiding the zero shard drop. Oh and farming tickets and getting better drops. But I think you’ve covered these questions already ..never mind stay Awesome !!

[@lennart3046]

Thx for the video, recently started again after a year and forgot about the free stuff in the online store

[@CalvinAwesome]

It's a really nice handout

[@stephanmai9092]

This is the way!

[@HereToWatchNotRead]

The word salad is strong with this one..

[@kylereimer1063]

I started a new account in April. Right now, I have slkr and profundity, 700 daily crystals from everything, aurodium 4, and 3.8 mil gp. Hyperdirve account and haven't spent more than 100 bucks outside of that. Refreshes for energy are extremely underused for some reason

[@leighthart7836]

My problem is that I started this game 7 years ago and dropped it for 5 years, then again for 1.5 years. My shard is so stacked I cant progress in arenas at all.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I've actually been there for squad arena it was Awful trying to climb back up

[@leighthart7836]

@CalvinAwesome it's both. I bought the lightspeed bundles for the first order and rebels, highest I can go is 300 in either one

[@kamixakadio2441]

There is only one fix for it. You *Must* go for the current strongest fleet.

[@Tsp09182]

I like the sound of a video where you should spend crystals tha you have after doing all your refreshes I think it would be very helpful

[@CalvinAwesome]

Noted!

[@banderson763]

Well, I can tell you the grand inquisitors event is not a bare minimum situation 😅

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol inqs would be the exception. Reva only takes that point further

[@Pancakes66420]

This is probably a dumb question, but I kinda want to know, I'm almost able to unlock SEE (I just need to get Dooku to R6, JKA to R7, and Krennic to R4. When I get finished with that, I plan on going for the Executor, when I get finished with Executor, I kinda want to go after Jabba. I'm not entirely sure if I'm just being overzealous or getting too far ahead into my account, but I just wanted to ask and see what opinions I can see :)

[@CalvinAwesome]

Being two steps ahead seems perfectly reasonable to me. I like Jabba/exec together because it allows you to use a whole BH team on ground outside of HC

[@Pancakes66420]

​@CalvinAwesome True, you would have a great defense if your opponent doesn't have a guarantee counter to Jabba or Executor (unless they have really good teams like Aphra with her Datacron)

[@plefughiop7877]

Honestly you should have a vague plan for the next 1-2 years. Example: see => executor => a legendary =>jabbab=> finishing unfinished teams That way you can farm ahead (if you are planning to go for something that requires a ship farm you might have to start that a earlier) but also change it depending on what new comes out.

[@techrical]

New player here. I had no idea about the webstore. Thanks!

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're welcome!

[@Killermonkey007]

Should you ever be refreshing specific nodes to farm shards faster or is that a waste and you should just stick to refreshing energy and the long haul.

[@CalvinAwesome]

More often than not do the long haul. Only reason to refresh the node is if it's literally the last piece to a big legendary or if the event time limited

[@Tyrana5]

I see that 8.0 Star Wars #1. I can't tell which version it is though. Do you have other comics?

[@CalvinAwesome]

I have quite a few from the new runs. That's my only one from the OG Marvel stuff

[@Tyrana5]

@@CalvinAwesome Nice! I've got a first appearance of Aphra that needs to be slabbed. Do you have videos on your comic collection?

[@CalvinAwesome]

I have one too! Dude I remember that day when it came out. I don't have any comic videos unfortunately

[@Tyrana5]

@@CalvinAwesome Wish I would have gotten it on release. I've only started collecting comics when Aphra was released in game. So, I definitely paid for it. 😅 I'd like to see a rundown vid of your comics, but I can't speak for your other viewers.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I got really into comics in 2015 because my college roommate was into them. Shortly after I went abroad and couldn't keep up with them.

[@FearitselfGLTSB]

Is it still wise to spend thru the 200 refreshes for the galactic chase if you don’t have zori 7stars. Or is it better to save the crystals and try to time it to 7star both around the same time.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Save the 200s if you don't have her geared. It'll take you 2 months to farm the rest of the shards

[@batmanwins5701]

Zorii is in double drops now so you will get her 7* before you finish the ship if you are already farming her

Would recommend refreshing hard node characters/ what’s the max you should refresh?

[@CalvinAwesome]

It varies a little bit per player. For most I would recommend almost never and never more than 25/50s.

[@paperboy856]

40k crystals ong how calvin .... How i cant get over 600

Make more than you spend

[@pauledwards5170]

I was going to ask that. I know Calvin loves a spreadsheet. I have my own and try to budget saving 200 crystals a day. I have built up to 15k crystals. But this chase will damage that balance.

Why's that?

[@jasonskee97]

I’m free2play I’ve been building up fleet for a while and am probably going to unlock the Executor in a month. But my fleet arena is filled with 7 star leviathans and executors so I probably won’t be getting many crystals.

I believe there's a strat out there for Exec to beat Levi but requires high relics

Refreshing normal energy for Kyros or cantina energy for signal data are the biggest two. The CCB packs when they hit the store are also good value if you need them.

Why don’t they have mods for ships? It would make a lot more “sense” than modding a character. I know the game was designed and added to in chunks… but it seems like CG wants $hip$ to be important.
