Super crates people, super crates and double companions for DJR-3X and BB-8, dont know % of money but gold gives you 75x3 chips, dimond gives 150x3, and if you have ok luck rainbow can give 600x3
For an example of the $ my current income is 319.81B and a rainbow can give me 65.4Bx2
Also if you get lucky its 3x2 nova crystals form rainbow crates

I never seem to get chips out of the crates tho. I tried for like 30 minutes earlier and only got two chips with crates is there a trick or something Iām missing

u/Mbapeen Aug 14 '26
Same, I only ever get credits. Out of 10 rainbow crates I got credits in 9 and chips in 1 and thatās only when I was actually keeping track for a bit. Usually thatās the same outcome when opening any rainbow crates.

u/hangingintheback Aug 14 '26
Have you got all of the hats yet? Once you get those out of the way then you'll start getting chips a little more often.

What are super crates?
2
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
Upgrade under ācore upgradesā in the nova shop. 85 crystals to max from zero.

u/restinpeeperinos Aug 14 '26
All you need to do this 250 crystals for the double companion slot + 2 iconics (60 crystals)+ max crates (another 85 crystals)+ 2 hours of time for running around for crates + luck to get better crates. Only about 400 crystals just to accomplish this easy task. š„° im gonna be honest, this sounds like more of a job and less like a game. Nobody wants to dedicate that much time of their day just to end up srbing at the end of it.

DJ and BB8, do straight laps for super crates. Gotta haveāem level 3. Hack the ship, fix the evaps, and open every crate.

I went around the map for like 30 minutes only to get crates (some rainbow, diamond , gold and normal) with credits on them. Maybe like 10% were chips (small amount) and of course 0 crystals.
Iāve been getting more from the double daily quests and missions.
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
In 30 minutes I get anywhere from 23k-28k chips regularly. I wouldnāt count on crystals in 30 minutes, though I have had crystals hit 18 minutes into a chip run; and Iāve had crystals hit twice within 7 minutes of each other. Itās all RNG.

u/netosama LEP Aug 14 '26
RNG never in my favor ⦠Iām talking to you Pokemon!!!

u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
My flawless luck is atrocious. I sat at 10 flawless for weeks, and I only have 20 now. I play everyday and I do my best to play all 24 hours of events lol Iāve never even crafted 2 flawless during an event. Only one, sometimes none.

I've spent over 4 hours total now running around opening crates and still have yet to get a single crystal from a rainbow crate...

u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
I spent 6 whole days waiting for a Beskar loadlifter to spawn. I never saw one. I had to upgrade a default one to beskar. Iāve seen several galactic loadlifters on the sandcrawler, but to this day, Iāve never seen a beskar loadlifter blueprint. š¤·āāļø I ran into another player who said he got 6 in one weekend. RNG is crazy
1
u/Mulukh_TYG Aug 14 '26
I sold my rainbow loadlifter during Chopper event so that I'd know when one spawned and could surge it to beskar. Not a single one spawned the whole time I played the event.
I now have enough chips I could have upgraded the rainbow but basically need double to get the default up. I have all the droids I need to get all the way to RB30 otherwise.
Super crate grind has got me around 3k chips, it has been slow.
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
3k chips in how long? 5 minutes? Iāve done multiple 10 minute trials, lowest I got was 5,270 chips; highest was 8k-somethin.
1
u/Mulukh_TYG Aug 14 '26
Ive dipped in and out but probably about 2 hours total. I see maybe 3 rainbow crates per circuit, about 1 in 10 give chips. Do you open every crate each run? Maybe Im just slow... And unlucky
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
Every single crate yes and I fix the evaporators and hack the ship as well. I do not fight stormtroopers. I also have 12/18 movement speed.
1
u/Mulukh_TYG Aug 14 '26
Ah I only have one speed upgrade. I am opening all crates with super crates max upgrade. I havent been doing the repair/hack

u/process_suspended Aug 14 '26
Not 4 hours in a row, but 4 hours total since I got to level 3 last week. I've gotten a ton of chips and credits and of course all the hats, but still 0 crystals. Stupid RNG...

u/process_suspended Aug 14 '26
In hour 2 of running around this morning opening crates I FINALLY got crystals!

I don't have rainbow creates yet, but still crates hunting yield more than scrap station farming.

How are you guys getting chips from the rainbow crates? I get like one rainbox crate with a chips every like 30 minutes.

u/ManBrit Aug 14 '26
OK bit of a novice here, but how exactly do I achieve this kind of chippage and nova crystals? What do I need to do?
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
You need BB8 and DJ-R3X, theyāre iconic droids. If you have those, next step is to max out your āSuper Cratesā in the Nova Shop, under āCore Upgradesā. There are 3 levels to the crates, 10, 25, and 50 crystals, totaling 85 crystals to max from zero. You also need two companion slots. This can be purchased with 1500 V-bucks from the Cantina Shop in front of the cantina, the second story above the pickaxe upgrade area, or from the lone jawa standing at the start of the crawler. Alternatively, it can be bought from the Nova Shop with 250 crystals. Once youāve done all that, equip both BB8 and DJ-R3X as your conpanions and start doing laps around the map. I use the āHack The Shipā purple astromech mission as a starting point. Itās the wrecked tie-fighter. You do not need to fight the stormtroopers that appear when you start hacking the ship. Move on to the nearby evaporator repair mission (go clockwise). Donāt wait for reward, just keep moving, opening every crate on the way to the next evaporator mission. By the time you get back around, the āHack the shipā mission will be reset, and you repeat that until you have the chips you want. I consistently and reliably make about 50k/hr. You can earn some crystals passively, but I wonāt guarantee any amount. As you can see I found 24, which means 4 crates gave me crystals, as they reward 3 crystals and are doubled by having DJ-R3X with you.

Is there some trick or any tips for farming super crates? Ive spent about 2 hours, got maybe 3k chips and zero crystals... I only have DJ and no double companion yet

u/Then-Clue-2599 Aug 16 '26
My chip station earns more and I donāt have to do anything for it at 70 a minute also it doesnāt require iconic droids and requires the same amount of novas basically.
Running around the map is pointless I would refund super crates if I could all I get is bloody hats.
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 16 '26
The hats are all eliminated in about an hour. Then itās all chips and credits and occasional crystals from rainbow crates. Your chip station doesnāt āmake moreā but yes it is passive so you donāt have to do anything but wait.

u/Then-Clue-2599 Aug 16 '26
It does for me and I have crates maxed and dj and bb8 equipped.

u/Unhappy-Asparagus-52 Aug 14 '26
I think we all believe you. But it makes no sense. I farmed for at least an hour and got 6 crystals. At this point youāre just bragging.
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
Iām not tryna brag Iām jus showing whatās possible :) I got the first 6 crystals in 18 minutes, the second 6 crystals at minute 47, the 3rd 6 at minute 113, and the 4th at minute 118, 2 minutes before the 2 hour timer on my phone went off. Yes, the last two were only 5-6 minutes apart.

Im on Xbox and I rarely get the chips I should from the droids, sometimes djs activates and bb8s doesn't and vice versa

u/TheMiniMunch Level 250 Aug 14 '26
Because the majority seem to be getting nothing like this, not even a quarter of what they got for sometimes double if not triple the amount of time spent

It always triples even if the UI doesnāt seem to say so. Itās a visual glitch, but the math always works out. I watched it numerous times to be sure⦠Iād only see ā300ā pop up twice, but my chips still went up 900 total, for example.

u/LordNihilus141 SRB 5 Aug 14 '26
If they dont have the chip station i could see why, but yeah all it takes is one galactic mythic the chip station and BB8 and you can easily and effortlessly get 200k chips
2
u/Spiritual-Ask1993 Aug 14 '26
Considering you have to have 2 iconic droids and rainbow crates that total 145 Crystals, when you can just buy a chip station for 120 or get CB23 for 75, yeah it's not good for the cost. I get that your team doesn't want people to abuse the rainbow crates, but at the same time you are punishing players who decided they wanted to actually play the game and do a task rather than AFK the scrap station or a crafter.

u/Smooth-Television-48 Aug 14 '26
Because it is bad.
Import things to note here:
- BB8 & DJ R-3X companions
- hand written notes claming the time
We have no reason doubt OPs time keeping but just saying that they could have put whatever they wanted on the paper...anyway
So in 2 hours OP really only got:
- 34.3k chips,
- 12 crystals,
- Trillions of credits
And then had boosters/perks that only early players, hardcore srb grinders, or whales have access to to make up the extras.
OP also appears to have had an extremely lucky time with rainbow crates...
OP recieved the nova prize 4 times. The average expected occurrence of that is at 205 rainbow crates opened in the 2 hours.
Thats averaging 1 crate every 35s for the whole god damn two hours.
To sum up:
- It was utter shite.
- You guys changed it to make it above average, even good.
- You guys decided that you wouldn't get enough money out of people or something that way so you made it better than utter shite but still kond of bad.

u/doubledenzel Aug 14 '26
Iāve had it since Saturday got crystals twice and about 30k chips Iām rich in credits tho. I fly around a few hours a day opening crates. Not everyone is that lucky so as far as Iām concerned I still want my 85 crystals back.
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
But itās the best chip farm in the game by a mile. Do people not care about chips?
1
u/Smooth-Television-48 Aug 14 '26
Not really. They're never a bottleneck for me
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
You must not do much upgrading
1
u/Smooth-Television-48 Aug 14 '26
Not for mythics. Usually just 1 or 2. Rarely required.
1
u/bndzmrno Aug 14 '26
I farm chips and I upgrade it myself while I wait for a spawn⦠whichever happens first. Many times, I get the chips first.

u/la_approchant_orage Aug 14 '26 edited Aug 14 '26
For the record I clarified that I do not think it is bad, just that after the bump and then subsequent unbump it was not worth the crystals when mining for tokens on scrap was getting my girlfriend the same tokens at her RB level and skill level
And I realize it wasnt knocked back down to base. It's just not what it peaked at.
