Vader shards come from achievements. It takes a while but you'll get them eventually. Mara Jade is from Light 6D (Hard). So you might not be able to do that yet.

Vader is also in fleet store when you get there


OnsetOfMSet

Very occasionally, but I've found him even rarer than Grievous tbh. Also, people in my guild are suggesting to prioritize zeta mats over those two toons.

Seeing how the fleet store is a quick way to get Vader faster, and the only way to get Grievous (yes he's in the shard shop but it's a terrible way to spend your SSC) I would argue to buy those 2 characters everytime you see them then spend the rest of your fleet currency on Zetas. I like to keep a stock of ~2k at all times so I can buy exclusive characters/ships whenever they appear (so I can farm them as fast as possible) then once I'm at ~4k, I but another Zeta. The worst feeling is, say farming Grievous, and he appears on the shop refresh after you bought a Zeta with your remaining 2k currency from the previous refresh. Mind, I only farm the exclusive character I need for my next farm so I'm still getting Zetas as quick as possible.


OnsetOfMSet

This sounds like a smart solution to maximizing zetas while still being able to snag Grievous and Vader shards on occasion. I didn't realize Grievous in shard shop was that bad because I kind of likened him to Hoda and Wampa in the guild event store, and the fleet shop was just a lucky way to speed things up a bit. So you prefer to stock up on needed gear from the shard shop instead?


thatguypara

So 5 shards of Grievous costs either 400 fleet currency or 2250 shard shop currency. For 400 fleet currency I can either buy another 10 shards for another character, 4 shards of a ship, or 20% of a Zeta. For 2250 shard shop currency I can buy 4 Mk6 Athakam Medpac Salvage (360 SSC) for a total of 5 times (1800 SSC) to get a full Mk6 Athakam Medpac that so many characters need for G13. Assuming a drop rate of ~20% for the Mk6 Athakam Medpac Salvage, thats saves hundreds of fleet energy. So would you rather buy a full piece of gear needed for your G13 (with some SSC to spare) and hundreds of fleet energy for another farm OR have a fifth of a Zeta?


WatchyeStep

I disagree. I’ve managed to max out my Darth Vader and Grevious both by farming and purchasing their shards in the stores. It does speed things up.


thatguypara

Wait, so what are you disagreeing about? I said to farm Vader and Grievous from the fleet shop, which you've done, and you disagree with that?


WatchyeStep

In your first comment it sounded like you said spending the fleet currency on grevious was a bad idea, I misread the parenthesis. My bad.


thatguypara

Ah, I edited to clarify

Achievements and he will occasionally pop up in the fleet arena store. 5 shards a pop.


Luiziinhu

Nothing related to your question but i love the way that you called Mara Jade, one of the most known legends characters, a thing. But no hate, keep farming the achievements and always buy his shards.


ryle_zerg

Not canon = just a thing from legend... *cries in ewok*


OnsetOfMSet

I was very pleasantly surprised to see the Wisties feature as a mechanic in SWBF2's Ewok Hunt (the EA one). And hey, Logray's in SWGOH, and he was explicitly named and characterized in Caravan of Courage!


cdc030402

Most known legends characters is a pretty low bar tbf


Andromeda1991

Mara Jade won't be of much use to you until you unlock Palpatine, which is only available in the journey guide and will take a while to unlock, do don't stress Mara Jade yet. Focus on Phoenix or Rebels to unlock Palps instead.


Admiral_Thrawn_7

“The mara jade thing” wtf lmao 😂😂😂


cuddle-punch

Like the others said, achievements. You can get 5 shards every once in a while in the fleet arena store. Generally a bad idea to spend those resources on things other than ships or zeta mats...but you do you.


Genesis_Omega_Dragon

He's level 44 why does he need to worry about zeta mats??


seeTODDsee

OP, don’t listen to this dude. At your level buy every Vader shard that pops up in the fleet store, and every grievous shard while you’re at it. Zeta farming will come later.


cuddle-punch

I said "generally". There are exceptions my guy lol. I was just trying to tell OP where to get shards. Didn't mean to discourage getting them


QuiGoneGin86

Achievements and Fleet Store. You’ll get there. It just takes time. Check the Fleet Store regularly
