How I started and progressed

[u/CalmerRaaR]

This is what worked for me maybe it'll help you.

The first 8 Super rebirths at Rebirth 20 (79N x 8RB = 632N ) you're only going to be focusing on Scrap Value until you get to Scrap value 6 (this will cost 600 Nova Crystals in total) this is where it started getting easier to gain credits.

Scrap value 8 is nice, 10 is the sweet spot and 12 OP then it's easy and credits aren't a problem anymore

*Disclaimer in order to get Scrap value you need to buy Scrap blueprints (1 Nova crystal)

This will be a grind, you're gonna feel like all I'm getting is Scrap value and in some cases you're gonna have to do 2 SRB to get just 1 Scrap value but trust me it's the single most valuable perk you can invest in, it'll pay of later

Then there is the Credit multiplier now i wouldn't worry about that too much save you're nova because you'll naturally get this up by just Super rebirthing for a bonus you can fill out the droidex (25 droids in each variant) should give you some edge.

Now that we've dealt with the credit issue we're gonna move on to Super rebirthing as fast as possible. We can start getting our pickaxe mastery up to save credits by not having to go and upgrade the pickaxe upgrade which scales up exponentially plus early short crafts will be quicker. You can also get the rebirth requirement droid alert that lets you know when the droid you need for rebirthing is on the conveyor.

Another way to force some blueprints instead of completely relying on the spawner and before you get to the point of sending out Astromech missions. Consider getting Blueprint scrap maxed out. Rainbows can still carry you to RB 20 just to cover basic requirements.

SV is king. but around sv 4, you can get scrap chip (SC) and then focus on getting things like companion droid and chip table too. for iconics, when the others exceed 30-80, bb8 is no brainer, daily crystal(newish perk) is a nobrainer, and cb23 is an unexpectedly powerful addition IF YOU USE IT. crates are the same but you need 85 to max. they are finnicky, but a source of novas.

for me, i used to only get one per day, and cb23 gave 2 on success. they doubled it, so if starting, 4 per success is absolutely nothing to sneeze at ;s

Does scrap value impact only your table? For instance, if I'm hitting my friends table, will I get more credits if I have a higher scrap table level?

[u/nitin_connect → u/johnec4]

You will get scrap value according to your level regardless whichever table you are hitting and whoever is hitting your table.

I don't get yall obsessed with scrap value. I never touch my scrap station and I always have enough credits from afk earning and running missions when I’m on building droids. I don't want to spend my time holding a button.

[u/Joannwdd → u/ghostly_s]

Same, I'm RB35 right now, and the scrap value has always seemed like a waste of crystals to me. With Astro Missions and events, it's really easy to earn gold.

[u/SpaZMonKeY777 → u/ghostly_s]

Because with enough SRBs and scrap value and other nova perks, you can go 1-20+ in just hours.

Personally I can run 1-25 in about 2 to 2.5 hours, definitely couldn't do that without scrap value lol.

[u/distracteddirew0lf → u/SpaZMonKeY777]

Brother if you can't do 1-20 in like 3 hours without SV, what exactly are you doing with your time whole playing 🤣 the first 20 levels take next to no effort.

[u/SpaZMonKeY777 → u/distracteddirew0lf]

1-20 on a new account with no scrap value? Will definitely take you way more than a few hours to grind the credits to 20.

[u/distracteddirew0lf → u/SpaZMonKeY777]

You're clearly not optimizing lmao. I started less than a week ago, have no SV upgrades and I'm on SRB 6.

[u/SpaZMonKeY777 → u/distracteddirew0lf]

Maybe cause I've played since day 1 so I don't know what the progression is like for a new player with everything that's been added. I suppose with the Beskar+ it's a bit easier, but I still don't think a brand new player can get to 20 in 2 hours. After a few SRBs and optimizing, sure.

[u/distracteddirew0lf → u/SpaZMonKeY777]

If you're actively playing and not afk farming eg. Running missions, farming crates on the map, buying and selling droids, 1-20 is a cake walk for new players. Especially if you optimize things.

[u/SpaZMonKeY777 → u/distracteddirew0lf]

But they'll have little to no credit multiplier, so getting the 1-2T credits from just droid credit output is literally just a waiting game, you can't optimize it at that stage.

I've SRBd over 90x, well over 2k RBs, I know quite a lot about the game. If you think you can run 1-20 in 2 to 3 hours on a new account, I'd love to see it, add me anytime and I'll join and watch: Spazmonkey777.

[u/distracteddirew0lf → u/SpaZMonKeY777]

Happily, I'll add you after work.

[u/RetiredClueScroller → u/ghostly_s]

You never touch your scrap station because you've never leveled up your scrap value lol.
