    Cannot obtain whole classified set during the event

    Hello,

    I am frustrated with the event. Cl. gear set cache costs 3000 and it is way too much. I can get two crates after three days of playing.

    I got some points left from the last event. I have bought 3 caches so far. And here is a big problem - a chest does not give a piece a player is missing. Getting whole set would need 10 - 15 caches I think. I don't want to sacrifice a whole week of my life doing very boring grind and in the end have nothing (incomplete set).

    Bosses in the LZ... They are worth 150 GE creds plus you still have a chance of a classy drop of any set. Also WHVT's gives a decent amount of GE creds for the time taken. The reset is coming up so if you haven't done those you've got ~12 hours from this post to get them done. That's what I am going to be doing tonight.

    I wish our schedules aligned better. I think you could see all the possibilities instead of the problems. Yes, to get a full set of a single gear set is going to be a grind. They are worth it though. That's why classy's have a much lower drop rate than regular gear.
    I work ~45 hours a week, plus an hour commute each way. I play in the evening after work. During the GE's I'll play longer than I normally do. I do play some on the weekend depending on what is going on in my life. Doing a day in the weekend, and every weeknight after work, I'll generally get between 30-45 of the $3k caches depending on how hard I hit it. When I am working on getting the GE commendations, I get less than I do if I just run solo and do my thing.

    Yup, thats definitely the way this dumb event works lol. It took me some 12-14 crates to get the 6 pieces to Predator during the last event. Soooo, yeah.

    At the other end of the scale if you are max level and WT5 with a reasonable GS then you can run something like Clear Sky to your hearts content with a good squad and get 10 crates in no time at all.

    Or failing that speed run Hudson takes no time at all.

    Noboby is forcing you. If you have a proper team, you can do clear sky under 5 min.
    Or, go in the dz, run into a landmark, kill only the boss and take the credit.

    How much time did you invest to get those 3 caches? If more than 1,5hrs - you do something wrong.
    It took me ~7hrs to get 3 missing pieces from Final Measure and 2 from Dead Eye on my day off. I bought like 12 caches.

    3 words: Lexington, Challenging, Matchmaking.
    If your lobby does not suck you can finish the mission under 10 minutes. If you'll get tired of Lexington - do HVTs (not all of them, only 225GE+).

    Those 3 caches took me about 15 hours I guess.

    I simply do not have 3 other skilled friends to play with. Incursion are out of question completely. Challenging missions take up to 25 minutes if group is not bad. If a group is bad, it disbands after 5 minutes.

    Thanks to Bambi I started running world bosses. I have finally learnt where they are, but I do not have an optimal route. And still it takes me about an hour to kill them all. But I get more points for spent time than before.

    I have quite hard time soloing daily HVTs. There is no way I could solo weekly HVTs (except maybe the easiest ones).

    15 hrs that's a lot of time for 9k GE my dude

    Skip Riker when you do LZ boss run (the guy on furthest south). He's just too far away from Belzer.

    Also you probably shouldn't do challenging "missions" and do the "easiest" one. And those are Hudson or Lexington (I prefer Lexington, I don't remember a run which took more than 10 minutes) and grind it until your eyes bleed (as we all do).
    Lexington can be done with the group of 3 or even 2. And you don't need 3 other skilled friends to play those 2 missions.

    I just ran the Lexington. I did not time the run. It could be 15 minutes.
    BUT the leader rebooted the mission before I could grab any loot at all. I was dying fighting a heavy elite alone while others were picking loot and then boom, I was outside with no reward at all...

    wait what gear score do you have? under 270?
    The only reward you really need is 38 GE from the dead boss (forgot her name) so you get 788 per run.
    And yes, there are plenty of sweat players on Lex with classified sets who don't really need any loot and they will restart the mission instantly.
    It's just how it is
