I've maxed out the island campaign, and the dailies and weekly exchange vendors. I know I got pretty unlucky with the coin flips, but the game has a really terrible design aspect where I'm waiting for weekly quotas with the exchange vendors to flip. I currently get enough for 1.4 attempts per day with a 40% chance of success (stacked with my now 3 fails... for the last piece)

Did I just get really unlucky? If the T2/T3 aspects of the game have similar "just wait for weekly resets" to progress feel I'm going to peace out now and make more room my SSD. After doing all my dailies this morning and failing and being unable to proceed I just logged out because there isn't anything fun I can do until I hit the 600 bp to unlock the next continent.

I'm told you auto pass after 4 fails on 5 attempt... I'm just asking more so if this will persist with the t2/t3 process as well.

My friend literally failed so many times at rank 14->rank 15 at t1 that he reached 100% chance of success on one piece, and 70%+ on others.

Your best bet is to make 5 alts and feed their matts to your main.

They can also each buy tradeable matts from merchant pirate ships with pirate tokens that you could funnel if you have a lot of coins and not a lot of gold...otherwise AH bud!

Nah, my best bet is to uninstall and put my time to something more impactful.

I failed over 8 upgrades out of 14 with a 70% success rate.

Then I went 8/10 on a 47%~ average upgrade chance.

Stop stressing about it and take it slow, take the advice given, or yea, quite.

Not sure why you'd ask for advice then say you're going to quite lmao.

If you're going to stick around, YOU - NEED - ALTS.

PERIOD.

I just wanted to know if T2/T3 was going to be more of this. If I wanted a game with cell phone mechanics I'd just play a mobile game :( ... None of my friends had this challenge so I assume I just had really shit luck, but there isn't anything I can do until I hit 600. I enjoyed the "chunky" combat, it felt good blasting shit, but I'm just struggling to get over this hump and I'll likely just quit.

Waiting 1 week for my exchange vendors to rollover is unacceptable for me.

Make alts dude, you can get thousands of materials and hit 600 so easily.

You can literally play them every other day even. They open up exponential access to gear and quite frankly, you will be in t2 way longer than necessary without them, and you shouldn't even think about t3.

600 gold knowledge transfer.

Funnel mats to main.

Get t1 cost reduction and success chance at lab.

Feed 1 alt to reach t2 to feed your main and repeat.

Chaos dungeons take like 10 minutes for 2 per character.

Sounds like you have the time.
