Hello Holotable Heroes,
With the upcoming release of Relics, I wanted to provide everyone with some information about how you will be able to upgrade your Relics once a character reaches Gear 13.
As has been mentioned in prior posts, the Scavenger lets you convert gear into scrap that can be used to upgrade your Relics. Each scrap can be made by converting gear from certain MK levels. We tried to make it very straight forward (e.g. Scrap 1 uses gears Mk 1 - Mk 3, Scrap 2 uses gears Mk 4 - Mk 6, etc.), but there may be certain pieces of Scrap that don’t follow that rule perfectly.
In addition to Scrap, you will also Signal Data to upgrade Relics. Signal Data will be farmable from certain Cantina Nodes. As part of this change, we shuffled some shards around and removed a few characters to give us some space to add the new Signal data to Cantina Nodes:

The introduction of relics is going to change the nature of the demand for gear in the game. Some pieces that were more... Read more
Hello Holotable Heroes,
In a prior post, I talked about how we were adding more acquisition sources of Gear 12. I alluded to some more changes that we wanted to make, and these changes are coming in our next update.
Before I go into the changes, I wanted to lay out the terminology that we use when talking about Gear 12 since we released Gear 12 pieces in blocks:
  • Old Gear 12 - The left 3 slots on a character at Gear 12
  • Gear 12+ - The right top and right middle slots on a character at Gear 12
  • Gear 12 Finisher - The bottom right slot on a character at Gear 12
We put together some more ways that we believe will help everyone complete Gear 12 quicker. There are a lot of changes going on below, and these changes are currently set to be temporary. Depending on how this helps the inflow of Gear 12 will determine which (if any) of the below changes we will keep.
Below is a list of the changes we are doing in our next update:
Shard Shop Changes
  • Added Gear 12+ to Shard Shop at 90 Shard Store...

Hello Holotable Heroes,
With the release of Grand Arena Championships and the first exhibition season I wanted to quickly clarify how rewards are going to be distributed in Grand Arena Championships during the first exhibition and onward.
NOTE: As Crumb mentioned in the TU16, Grand Arena Championships & “Exhibition” Championships Schedule post the "rewards and progression speed will not be final." and these may change when we get out of the Exhibition series.
REWARDS OVERVIEW
In the event UI, you may notice the End of Championship rewards. However, rewards will come from a few different places in Grand Arena Championships which may not be as immediately obvious:
  • Winning a battle in Grand Arena
  • End of Grand Arena round
  • End of Grand Arena event
  • League promotion
  • Feats
  • End of Grand Arena Championship

End of Championship rewards do not change between Divisions. Being in a higher division will, however, affect the rewards you receive when you are promoted between Leagues (Promotion Rewa... Read more
Hello Holotable Heroes,
With the release of Gear XII Finishers, I wanted to talk about how we plan on increasing the rate at which players will be able to earn Gear XII and how we want to increase the agency around Gear XII.
Gear XII Sources
We added some Gear XII Salvage to Light and Dark Side Nodes and the Shard Store so that players can have better choice around which Gear XII Salvage they wanted to farm. One thing we understand is that there is currently no real agency around how players can acquire Gear XII+ though. Right now, players try to finish in the top 10 in the Sith Raid, and that’s really it. We want to allow players to have more agency on how they acquire Gear XII+ and here are some of the ways that we are going to be doing it with the release of Grand Arena Championships and the Geonosis Territory Battle.
  • (Grand Arena) Championship Store - Gear XII+ will be purchasable in the new Championship Store using the new Championship Tokens.
  • Geonosian Territory Battles Prize B...

Hello Holotable Heroes,
Since this is my first forum post, I’d like to introduce myself - I work on the analytics side of SWGOH mainly focusing on the in-game economy. So, I just do a lot of math.
With the upcoming release of Grand Arena Championships and the Geonosis Territory Battle, we will be introducing 2 new currencies, one earned from Grand Arena Championships and the other from the new Territory Battle.
New Grand Arena Championships Currency: Championship Tokens
Grand Arena Championship Tokens will be primarily earned through participation in Grand Arena Championship events, but they will also be earned through performing Feats. We’ll be introducing a new Grand Arena Championship tab to the store and we’ll have a post in the near future about what you’ll be able to purchase from there.
New Territory Battle Currency: Mk II Guild Event Tokens
Similar to how we added Gear 12+ as an exclusive reward to the Heroic Sith Triumvirate Raid, we’re adding a new store and exclusive curren... Read more
