 I'm working on the n7 banner and want to know what pack gives the best exp character card. I heard the spec pack has a chance for a character card that gives 250k exp, is this true?

[HolyAvenger]

Recruit pack spam is your best option. Guaranteed XP, cheap.

It depends, if you unlocked every character and their appearance you don't get any more high level character cards.

If you have unlocked everything (character related) I remember a post about just spending on recruit packs, you will certainly get a character XP card.

If you still have yet to unlock character and their appearances any SP, PSP, AP, RP will get you a rare XP card, the best is probably the RP since you get a higher chance of unlocking character related stuff and when you get these they will offer the highest XP.

The more expensive packs can contain EXP of 250000 but the 5000 recruit pack always contains exp but the highest amount is 65000 i think.

I maxed out my gold/ultra chars. Thank you for the help i will now buy recruits.

[hyperthreadz]

If you need to unlock characters, the best way is still an RP (I usually got 2 x 250k exp), however once you've unlocked your characters, the Recruit packs will give you the XP you need (although I got a lot of 12k and uncommon other stuff in there).

In recap, for me (average): RP 2x250k = 500k total vs 20 (7 @ 62,5k (437,500) + 7 @ 12,5k (87,500) = 525,000k)

Your choice 500k with a chance of unlocking new characters or more xp...

Edit (removed unnecessary stuff).

Recruit pack for common character card spam.

[Maurader Sackboy]

Please enlighten me -- why do people actually want these cards -- to add patterns and lights to the costume or what? I don't like getting them, would rather have weapons, ammo mods, etc. -- anything but these.

[Ultimate Pheer]

But without them how are you supposed to make your characters look AWESOME?!

Also, it's better than getting another damn sniper rifle I REFUSE TO USE!

For the XP, so they can promote faster to complete the N7 Mastery challenge.

MOAR character XP cards = less matches to promote = get N7 Banner this lifetime = stop promoting NAOW!

[Maurader Sackboy]

"MOAR character XP cards = less matches to promote"

This is becoming a little clearer (?) But, one is promoting characters, not matches?

Since I don't care about banners I haven't explored this. I've only promoted a few times 'cause I didn't have a respec card and wanted to change powers around.

So does this mean -- with more character cards, when one does promote it counts for more or something?

No, it just means you're able to promote sooner. Most people promote to complete the N7 Mastery challenge. If you simply use the XP you get from the matches you play it takes longer. If you combine the XP you get from matches with the XP from cards, you level up faster, thus allowing you to promote faster and complete the challenge before you're eligible for Social Security.

So I'm hearing Reserve packs if you don't have all characters and Recruit packs if you do.

Depends on what you're trying to do; I checked your manifest and you have quite a few rare characters left to get. If you're focusing on characters, your best bet is Reserves Packs. If you just want to get XP cards, Recruits will get it done, but the XP on recruit pack cards is usually around 12,500, whereas Reserves Packs cards are usually the Rare (gold) ones that get you 250,000 XP. Then you have to look at what difficulty you're playing; if you're playing Bronze or Silver, it's a grind to get enough for Reserves Packs, so you're better off with Recruits & Veteran Packs. If you play Gold or Platinum, you have enough that you can buy Reserves Packs after every match almost.

Yes, exactly.  Recruit Packs give you more experience and consumables (medigel, ops survivals, missles, and thermal clips) per credit, BUT you won't unlock new character/appearance options and you get crappy level 1 equipment (ammo, armor bonus, rail amps, etc.) with them.

I do only play gold and plat, reserves it is ?

[ToYz_R_RusH]

Bottom line, buy recruit packs.
Character exp gained per 100k spent:

Recruit: 250,000 min, 1,250,000 max.
Reserve: 0 min, 562,500 max.

If it's just for XP get recruits. The other guys are right; you spend less and accrue XP at a more efficient rate with Recruit packs; Saminator Explains It Here

If you're looking for rare character unlocks, obviously Reserves are the way to go. Sorry, I've been telling you wrong.

I have been buying Reserve packs ever since I maxed out all the urs and it gives at least one character every two packs. Yes it is expensive but I also get tons of lvl 3 and 4 consumables too
Recruit packs may be better for exp but I just hate those useless lvl 1 consumables

Having a bunch of lvl 1 consumables isn't that bad...  They are more than good enough for Gold games, which allows you  to save 2's and 3's for Platinum PUGs.  (Save the 4's for having fun with friends)

[theshagster]

I did the N7 mastery with reserve packs. Any character card in the pack is 250K. The other thing to do is to never play a level 20 character and always have all of your characters under level 20 so there is never the chance to waste a card or experience. The chance of UR is also very high.

[Cyanide483]

recruit pack = best surefire bet

I do spectre packs though because i need the lvl 3 consumables (the character cards are a lot more rare tho in spectres)

[mykejm]

OG: looks like your manifest is maxed, so definitely spam recruit packs.

You'll also likely max out your medi-gel/ops packs etc, as you'll accrue it faster than you can use it.
