Several of my free guildmates got King's Sword or came close (~20-30 items away, IIRC) to getting King's Sword, and they're only around level 120 or 100. I also know of a few free players that got Orihime (Yggdrasil). I'm a free player and I myself am planning on getting TR when I have enough time IRL (and I could get TR without the stuff that I got via free gold). And several of my free player guildmates have level 125 from werewolf CQ. Costly but doable.

I'm a free player that only uses her phone (no Chrome, no bluestacks, etc) and that still has not gotten FH 5* or a SWG, let alone TR 5* from tower. I have only one 5* from EG. I have only four non-SWG 5* WGs. I have only one tower TR 4*. I have 5 pures and 5 fallens/reverseds, most of which were obtained within the last 5 months, so it's not like I'm relying on them for strength. I have only one LRS from barter (arguably one of the best, but that's not my point). It's been over 1 year and 5 months.

After I max out the most recent addition to my CQ deck, I will only be able to add cards with 27k+ total stats to my CQ deck.

With that in mind, let the following statement sink in: There are free players who started more than six months after I started (playing for less than one year) and are more successful than me.

Multiple FH 5*s, FH 5*s + multiple magas, TR 5* from tower, multiple tower TR 4*s, plenty of non-SWG 5* WGs, 8+ fallens/reverseds (possibly almost all 14, depending on when they joined), more pure luck than me, multiple LRS 5*s from barter. Imagine the minimum total stat requirement for a card to enter their CQ decks!

I think the main problem for danield is his level. '''Below level 81, your best bet for strong cards is SSC. Beyond level 81, you've suddenly got a LOT more events to play with and a LOT more options to choose from.''' Tower and solo CQ are best done with a lot of ability points. SG is best done with a hell of a lot of HP (although whether the cards are worth it depends on the cards). For GCQ, you're more likely to get into a guild that can beat level 50 when you're past level 81. (CQ deck is one part of it, but your available ability points is another part of it. My level is the reason why I have 50% more spirit than most of my guildmates, which means that even though they're getting better CQ decks than mine, I can still pull my weight. Yes, I am terribly embarrassed as guild leader.) Even SSC becomes bearable with a good leader, a good level, and sufficient DS. And depending on the SSC, 60 sets and TR are still obtainable without many items and with only a phone after you enter the hellzone.
