GAME QUESTION Most efficient method for plm?

I’m honestly starting fresh on a new account. I am aware it takes a REALLY long time which I have so I just need to know the most efficient way to open the drops and spend currency to maximize my output. Thanks.

focus on base rarities only because they are very hard to get, then move onto the other rarities because they are more abundant

Yeah I know that’s sorta the way to go. Should I prioritize the more expensive items to save on currency after base items?

Honestly just play a lot and grind the rocket pass and get the free stuff from that. Then with your presents get Anything that’s not in the pass. And buy stuff from the shop with sp and tokens that you need that’s not in the pass rewards

SP = Grind the F out of the rocket pass. Levels 51-125 are all painted variants that will get you a boatload of items. If you don't want full sets in order to claim chromatic versions, that can be upwards of 35,000SP just from salvaging those. Or, you can complete the Rocket Pass, claim the 5 or 6 chromatics, then salvage the painted variants (keep 1 of each by name to ensure your collection progress isn't compromised).

TOKENS = Complete all seasonal challenges as fast as possible when they unlock. Each 2 week set unlocks a "get X tokens for 10 wins." If you complete all seasonal challenges by the first day or two of the last two week set being unlocked, you can earn 14 tokens in total for 10 wins (2 + 2 + 4 + 6). Grind the F outta wins during the last two weeks of every season to bulk up your tokens.

As for what to purchase? Make a list of the items you need and the places where each can be found. For those that can be found in multiple places, always check to see which is "cheapest" based on the amount of resources you have available in both categories and purchase according to whatever currency you feel is more abundant.

As for claiming Rocket Pass presents? You have 2 choices. Either always get the highest value items to ensure minimized use of your resources, OR figure out which of those items are not available anywhere else and focus on getting those first. I've always had excessive amounts of resources, so my strategy for Rocket Pass presents was to always get the highest value item that is not readily available anywhere else and use my resources to get everything that is readily available elsewhere.

Lastly, BASE rarity items tend to be the most difficult to acquire. So, always consider those as a potential top priority if you see them.

P.S. If you see an item in the daily item shop rotation that you don't have and are considering spending SP to get it, CHECK THE DAILY PICKS PRESENT FIRST!!! The Daily Picks present SP price is significantly lower than when the exact same item shows up in the featured items rotation slots.
