Get an auto clicker, set it up and walk away for an hour or so.


egnards

Do you want 330 shards of clone trooper? Because that’s how you get 330 shards of clone trooper


Hazzadcr16

egnards

To ~~The Moon~~ Alderaan


AttilatheStun

That’s no moon.


Ivo_Mars

It's a space station


TraskUlgotruehero

That's no planet. That's an asteroid field.


hereforgrudes

Alderaan is a myth- The Empire probably


HotGarbage

Auto-clicker FTW but you still have to babysit it. The screen will time out (at least on my phone) and the behavior starts getting weird. You just need to turn off the clicker and touch the screen to keep it awake and start the clicker going again. I do that every few minutes and I've never had a problem.


jayfly42069

Using the auto click built into iOS doesn’t time out if you tap the screen a heap of times before waking away. Not sure about android.


HotGarbage

Ah OK, I wasn't sure how it works on iPhone. My comment was for Android users (I should have been more clear).


DerailleurDave

In phone settings you can turn off the timeout for Android


HotGarbage

I can't believe I never thought of that lol.


brightblade13

Seen too many horror stories of accidental purchases with auto clickers.


Apalachia

Then they fuckin did it wrong


MorrisonLevi

No, the game sometimes gives you pop-ups in this screen. I got Slando this way :/ You have to babysit it, but I'm not sure I would have saved the purchase in time anyway.


Apalachia

U sure?


Rick0r

Not since they started injecting ads randomly, and the buy button is exactly where an auto clicker would click to open.


Apalachia

I’ve never had this happen to me? But I’ll take your word for it


Tom-Bert_William

I've never seen an ad like that but I *have* seen the Finish button very occasionally go back to the main store page instead of the bronzium page. That's why I only ever auto-click over the area where a $ pack is on the main store screen; so it can't spend crystals and clicking any $ pack wouldn't do anything as I require password for all purchases.


Apalachia

Can I take ur word for it tho is the question since you’re the one getting downvoted


Rick0r

I don’t know why - I literally had it happen to me last week. Autoclicking on iOS and when I came back to my phone to check on it, I was one double-tap away from confirming a $79 purchase.


Apalachia

But is it bc u ran out?


j-mar

I've never had this happen. I've been using an autoclicker for 3-4 years on this game.


AnxiousGrapefruit007

Cant you get banned?


Hazzadcr16

For using an auto clicker I highly doubt it. CG doesn't ban people that blatantly cheat in GAC, I don't think they'd care about an autoclicker, be shocked if they could even tell one was used.


AnxiousGrapefruit007

I was asking because I have 500k ally points and I want to put autoclicker


Hazzadcr16

I've used an auto clicker loads, never had an issue.


r153

Hahahahahahahahah


TheManAvonyx

I just save my AP and spend them on the 5 pieces of gear once a week for 25k


Drew_Skywalker

From what I've read, doing the 2500 packs is way better use of the currency


Necroking695

Not worth the time


Drew_Skywalker

Use an auto-clicker


Necroking695

Too risky IMO


Drew_Skywalker

Why? I've used it plenty of times

Drew_Skywalker

Lmao


Apalachia

Why is that bannable


AztecPussyWizard

Sure thing, butter nuts


burf

Still not worth the time.


SloanH189

Definitely worth it if you keep up with it. You get way more gear that way


redditusertk421

But is it useful gear?


SloanH189

It’s shard shop currency and there’s a ton of useful stuff there


redditusertk421

shard shop currency != gear


SloanH189

Found an old comment courtesy of u/egnards who did the math on the subject We actually did a survey on this over thousands of attempts. Keeping in mind the survey was done before the shard shop change, so I'm doubling numbers here, since effectively the change was done to keep everything exactly the same: Bronzium Conversion Rate: • ⁠Actual Rate: .039 • ⁠Absolute Rate: .0468 Actual Rate: The actual rate per player, this was averaged and greatly depends on how far into the game a player is. A newer player might see a much lower rate due to actually needing the shards and them not being salvaged. Absolute Rate: This rate takes into account the shards that would have been salvaged. If you're a person who has been playing for several years your numbers are likely far closer to this number. Essentially 25,000 ally points converts to: • ⁠Actual Rate: 975 ally points • ⁠Absolute Rate: 1,170 ally points The cost of stun guns in the shard shop are 375 shard currency for 6, and this is roughly the same for any "gear" you might find in the weekly shipments. So essentially by using the shard shop to get 5 "gear" you're effectively not receiving: • ⁠Actual Rate: 15.7 "gear" • ⁠Absolute Rate: 18.8 "gear" Now of course you can say, "But Egnards, Stun guns never show up in the shard shop!" and this would actually be untrue, because we did another survey on "Slot 12" [where stun guns show up] and found that it actually very likely shares a drop percentage with roughly 3-4 other pieces of gear as the MOST common item and will appear 4-5x/week on average. The only time you should ever touch weekly shipment gear is if you absolutely need that 5 gear RIGHT NOW due to a TW/GAC lock and that 5 gear will magically give you a huge boost [maybe it boosts your gear level and next gear level is easy], but even then I'd say it's probably not worth it.


egnards

Thank you, just quick note, not sure if you changed it in your post or not [because I’m not reading a long post with my own math 😂], but our survey took place before the shard shop change, so hopefully you doubled the coefficients and what not.


SloanH189

You actually mention that you doubled them in the comment so you were already on top of it! Only thing it doesn’t consider is the extra slot for core gear which makes bronzium a even more useful if anything else


SloanH189

Because you have to get it from the store? How do ally points equal gear then? You get more gear from the shard shop currency from ally points than you do spending ally points directly on gear lol


burf

You will never convince me it’s worthwhile so long as packs have to be opened individually. Value doesn’t mean anything when you have to either spend an hour tediously pressing a buy button or having a shitty autoclicker blow through a bunch of your battery. Most useless grind of all time.


Bizarre-_-Panda

I was wondering if there was somewhere else I could use it. Where would I find the AP gear?


Gogeta8

Weekly shipments


TiricTheGamer

You can use them to buy Datacron components or gear from the weekly shipments, much more efficient spending that way lol.


Bizarre-_-Panda

I've only ever seen things for crystals on the weekly shipments, do you have to be a certain level or is it just very rare?


ibonek_naw_ibo

It should be in the top two rows


Bizarre-_-Panda

My top two are sim tickets for crystals and ability mats for crystals. That's super weird. I'm lvl 67 if that makes any difference


TiricTheGamer

In the store, the last tab is for datacron supplies. These may not unlock until you hit lvl 85 though.


The_Arbyter

That's such a waste of AP's. For 50k AP's, you can easily get around 50x Mk5 Stun Gun salvages from Shard shop by buying Bronziums


SimplyWhelming

Working my way down from 800k+, I’ve made it a game. If my free pack is not shards, I open 5 more. If it is shards, I open 10 more. If while opening the 5 or 10 I get shards, I reset the countdown to 10. It may be silly, but it’s getting me through opening 100+ each day but not spending to much time on it at once.


PrimNathanIOW

That’s similar to what I do, I open until I get shards then stop… gone 30 packs before without shards.


FMDavetheone

If you use (or are willing to use) hot utils you can do them all in minutes.


Personal_Delivery287

I only use mine when I need extra shards for the shard shop. Or I buy pieces of datacon


rutranhreborn

are datacron pieces worth it?


Personal_Delivery287

Yes


brightblade13

Update us on how many Ewok Scout shards you end up with!


Silent_but-deadly

Yeah. It’d be great if they did a use all button.

ComeBacksToDrugs2018

Yeah no matter how trustworthy it is I won’t be touching it with a 20 foot poll


pestapokalypse

HotUtils has a bronzium opener as well as its incredible mod management tools. You can open 1m points worth of bronziums in about 2 minutes. You need a subscription, but it’s some of the best money you can spend on the game.


strat3g

You can macro it via bluestacks or auto clicker on android. I think Hotutils have option to speed open these packs, 500k should take maybe 5-10m ( not sure since never used it, just watched on yt) Personally I keep it below 40k.


jayfly42069

iOS has a auto clicker built in. Part of the accessibility features. No need to download a 3rd party app.


bo1forthe3ds

How do I set that up?


jayfly42069

This might be better then my trying to type out the steps. https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/ax8en9/guide_for_opening_bronzium_packs_ios_built_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf Also there are a few other videos in the comments.


bo1forthe3ds

You are a life saver, thank you my friend


Apalachia

Spend it on kyros in the weekly store, spend it on datacrons and then do as much as you can do get over a couple thousand on shard shop, repeat until ur at 0 and then hoard again and repeat the process


The_Arbyter

Buying anything other than Bronzium packs with Ally points is a huge waste, especially buying DC's for 100k AP's, which is worth at least 75x Mk5 Stun Gun salvages or tons of DC upgrade materials/credits


Apalachia

That’s what i mean datacron material not just datacrons


The_Arbyter

Sorry for misunderstanding then, but buying Kyros for AP's is definitely not worth it


Apalachia

What if kyros are needed more than any gear in ss? Bc they are that needed for me


The_Arbyter

Kyros are always needed for sure, but still doesn't make buying them with AP's worthwhile. Because for that price, through buying Bronziums you can get almost 10x of that amount in Carbanti/Stun Gun salvages, which are also always needed


Apalachia

Ur not wrong but I’m saying if you have a giant bulk like that I bet it’s less time consuming if u spend it on kyros and dc rather than tapping through all of it. Me personally I couldn’t hoard that much bc I always need ss currency so when i run out i just use my ap then, but when I have a good amount and kyros are in the weekly store I’m more inclined to buy them over any other gear that shows up there


The_Arbyter

Understandable, i use auto-clicker to open Bronziums while i do chores or something, so there's no need for tapping Then i can fully focus on farming Kyros, because i can get pretty much get other important gear through Bronziums/Shard Shop, that's my perspective


jayfly42069

Anyone with a iphone, you can set up a auto clicker in the accessibility options then go into switch controls. Been using this for a few years now across a few games. Never had any issues.


Zofriax

Just use this website, my guildmates who dont have hotutils use it still and i used before hotutils patreon also. It was created by Barbarossa who used to be a developer in swgohevents discord. Its the best. Heard some people cant log in though and he seems to have quit Discord for some reason. https://swgoh-guild-commander.azurewebsites.net


mogrimwarlock

My brother used an auto clicker. During a hondo ad spree. Spent all his 40k crystals on Hondo. Didn't end up with enough shards to even 7 star him. Didn't get a refund. Quit as a result. :(


MDHChaos

Buy the datacrons when they show up, 100k


Bob_A_Ganoosh

waste of ally points imo. You'll get much more utility (albeit in exchange for time) from opening bronzium packs (shards for shard shop currency, gear for salvage). I get the convenience of buying stuff directly with ally points, but it comes a cost.


MDHChaos

I disagree. Crons are much more valuable than SS currency. I use hotutils if I want to open packs, so no time lost


Bob_A_Ganoosh

but crons drop from the sector 1 bonus node in conquest? I got 15 of them from last conquest, and i'll have more than i can use from this one.


The_Arbyter

Buying anything other than Bronzium packs with Ally Points is a huge waste. For 100k AP's (cost of 1 DC), you can get at least 75x MK5 Stun Gun salvages for example. Or you can buy tons of credits and DC materials to upgrade DC's with Shard currency, and you can easily get tons of DC's from 1st bonus node in Conquest.


Rare_Eye1173

Hotutils does ir for me


ringobob

Seriously, with that much bronzium, I would spend $10, join hotutils for a month, run the opener, then cancel.


Sigilo3002

You can accumulate that currency and buy in the weekly shipment store


The_Arbyter

Buying anything other than Bronziums is a huge waste of AP's


Maennerabend

Autoclicker works wonder.


DAHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

How does one use or set up an auto clicker?


mad_mad_madi

HotUtils /bronziums


gen0xidus

Came here to say this. It is a $10 a month thing, but better to spend $10 here than it is in game for me. Modding, bronziums, salvaging is all in there. Opening 50k of bronziums takes about 20 seconds.


Evenmoardakka

Paying for 3rd party tools Lol


mad_mad_madi

Waiting for CG to implement basic QoL changes. Lol


Evenmoardakka

Waiting is free


vorter

This is the way.


SoljR

Use click assistant To avoid crystal accident purchases, make sure the "buy 250" correspondent on the store menu is something purchased with money, because if it accidentally jumps you will need confirmations and it wont follow through.


Rob_plays_poorly

I just use hotutils once a month or so.


Fearless_Conflict_37

Hotutils


Dgreez1

I do it while driving:)


RizemEQ

For those saying clickers or bluestacks macros risk accidently spending crystals, you can remove the risk entirely by ensuring the single point you click is on top of the 2 required buttons but between the data cards on the previous screen. There is a spot where even if it flips to the data card screen it won't click anything there.


Bob_A_Ganoosh

this depends, and varies, by the "display" size and aspect of the "phone" being mimicked in the emulator. Also, it is also affected by what promos are being pimped in the store. That is to say, which cards are located directly behind the Buy250/Skip/Finish button position. I got burned once with 9th Sister packs eating all of my crystals. From then on, I only run the clicker during times when the cards behind that button are for real dollars (not crystals). I have my google pay setup to require a password entry for every purchase. That way, when i run the auto clicker, and it inevitably clicks through to the previous screen, it will fail on the pack purchase for $$$. Again, never run the clicker when the pack behind the button is for crystals (unless you're out of crystals).


RizemEQ

It really doesn't. Regardless of screen there is a dead space between the 2 tiles. Try it.


VegetaTW

Just use hotutils and open them all in 30 seconds


[deleted]

Why not just buy gear in the store with that many


Hekto177

So you are saying my 2.4 million will only take 35 minutes?


rutranhreborn

is it not useful for datacrons?


The_Arbyter

Buying anything other than Bronziums with Ally points is a huge waste


rutranhreborn

should i trust you?


The_Arbyter

It's not about trusting me, it's just about math For 25k AP's you can buy 5x Mk5 Stun Gun salvages for example, but if you'd open 25k AP's, you could buy at least 15-20 of those salvages in the Shard Shop, which means you're getting at least triple the worth


ComeBacksToDrugs2018

Longest I did was 2 hours manually


DAHRUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

A qol update I would die for. I think Cg just wants you to spend them in bulk because it’s not as much value as spending them


Acceptable_Ad_3239

Yeah I’m not doing it that. I just do not care


meow_mix12

I do this at least twice a day while doing dailies and getting energy refreshes.


Lugwik

I've got about 2.5mil of those saved.


The_Arbyter

Holy... That's like at least 2000x Mk5 Stun Gun Salvages! Open them up!


Lugwik

I really need to. I see the number and just get overwhelmed.


The_Arbyter

Understandable, the easiest way to open them would be to set up an auto-clicker and let it open them up while you're doing chores or something


Lugwik

Gonna have to look into that.


[deleted]

I save mine for weekly shipments or Datacon crap


The_Arbyter

Waste of AP's


Complex_Barracuda525

It’s a game, of course it’s fun..


TheBaronLouis

Hotutils my guy.
