Summary: every day a different mode will have double rewards (EXCLUDING xp) to make people spend millions of dollars on crystals. Tomorrow (maybe midnight PST? No idea) is double cantina rewards. And of course it's the day we need to stockpile cantina. Because crystals.

Star Wars Day wouldn’t be complete without Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Check out the special offers Capital Games has in store for Star Wars gamers on the go:

· Double Rewards – Starting April 30 to May 5, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes will have double rewards (excluding XP) that players can earn each day with different game modes. The first mode to have these double rewards will be Cantina Battles. Be sure to log in to get double Credits, Ability Materials, Training Droids, Sim Tickets and character Shards.

· Sale on Crystal Bundles – Only on Star Wars Day can Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes players receive 25% more Crystals when purchasing any of the Crystal packs available, limited to one of each pack, to use towards Data Cards or Shipment Crates.

Edit: forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/34671/double-rewards-in-cantina-starting-tomorrow/p4

For those wondering this should be live in game tomorrow morning between 9am and 11am Pacific.

If you want to do Cantina guild day with only 1 refresh per
Day you can spen all of your crystals up to half an hour before Saturday's guild day reset.

You lose out on about 1/4 of a day of double rewards but save 200 crystals on Sunday. You are better off doing a 200 Crystal refresh tomorrow and burning it and stopping spending just before guild reset then you are burning all your energy at daily reset Saturday.

That's what I'm planning for because it's the earliest they'd start it.

If they could be just a LITTLE more vague that would be great!

At least they're honing in on a window. It was starting to feel like cable company home service.

If PST, then you could possibly get two days' worth of double drops

They sound like they will expire when the next one starts. So you can get times Crystal refreshes in for the cantina double.

Guys-

Tomorrow, May 4th, is double rewards for every single activity. To maximize your loot from the rewards, my recommendation is the following:

-Save your GW from Tuesday AND Wednesday until they push the update between 9-10 PST. However, please complete prior to Wednesday night guild reset at 7:30 EST so you get your guild contribution for Tuesday.
-Save HM node farming until 7:30 EST guild reset Wednesday evening so you cash in on double rewards and also guild contribution.
-Be up early, prior to update removal Thursday May 5th, to cash in on a third GW and a second day of HM node farming, as well as a second day of guild contribution in HM nodes.
-Edit: Challenges are not part of this. EA Jesse confirmed it's all events that have been part of this reward previously. LS/DS HM, Cantina, and GW.

I hope this was clear and/or helpful. Happy looting!
