If you have not read this then you should.
There is a duty officer assigment for refinining 1000 extra dilithium every two days, of couse is only available for veteran gold members (at least 800 subscribed days) or LTS players.
But yeah... the most practical way is using more characters

Only option is to buy more character slot or buy the dill.either way it will cost you real money :mad:
No. Even silver players get 3 character slots now. So that's 24K max a day. If you play long enough, you can convert the dilithium to Zen, and buy more slots. If you don't have the time or the patience to do that, then you can buy the dilithium with real money. The choice is yours, and you should be glad that you DO have a choice. Don't forget that this is a F2P game. The devs have to make money to keep the servers running, so you can't expect everything to be free. If you want the convenience of having everything "now", then expect to pay up.

Well you can refine 16k Dil every day (with 2 max characters) then (depending on the Dil-Zen conversion price) you can buy extra character slots without real currency in a .
The only factor that is of REAL consequence is time.
Is this game deserving of the time necessary to grind that amount of Dil?
At current conversion prices, it will take less than a week to grind enough Dil for the character slots.

Depends what you want, how badly you want it and how quickly you want it.
Combination of dailies, STFs, and Doff for me. Defera dailies give around 2400 or so total. Traelus is 480. Foundry spotlight gives about 2400 or so. ESTFs give 960 per run. Exploration daily is 1440. Fleet mission daily (usually klingon scout force) gives some, forget the number though. Doff mission to turn in contraband gives like 2k I think (use a KDF alt to farm contraband). I don't even do the asteroid mining, but you can do that too. I think pvp might give some? Not sure, I don't pvp. There's probably more ways too.
Honestly though, I rarely if ever hit my 8k daily cap. Not because I don't know where/how to get it, just that I find most of the methods to obtain it boring as hell. I typically make 2k-5k per day on one character. I don't have the patience to do it on my alts too lol.

Once you know where to go it is easy.
You can't do none stop asteroid mining by the way, both havae a 20 hour cool down.
Welcome to the frustration club.
Yeah it's easy enough, it's the low cap considering how much dilithium is needed is what drives me crazier.
Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade
If I am not mistaken they reward 640 (?) dil each. The "animals" one depends on how many you can kill in the specific time.
Ding ding, we have the answer.
Roll up a Klingon. Invest a bit in some decent Doffs (especially Tactical, Security and some Engineering/Operations), then fly around and fill him up with Marauding missions that show items as a reward. You will get a good amount of Contraband and prisoners. Prisoners you can cash in at a rate of 4 prisoners to 500 dilithium by looking for "Forced Labor Requisiton" missions under your Tactical officer (fly around, they come up in different locations). Contraband can be turned in to Security Officers on ESD, Qo'noS, DS9, K7 and Ganalda at a rate of 5 Contraband to 2000 dilithium. Put your stack of Contraband in your account bank and have multiple characters run it. Assuming my Klingon scores at least 15 Contraband average per day (and he generally does), my Fed, KDF and RRF can all turn in a stack of 5. That's 6k dilithium, per day, for doing very little. Add in prisoners, and any other dilithium rewarding Doff assignments my Fed and RRF may have run, and I can easily hit 8k per day, just from Doffing. Everything else is gravy.
The most time consuming part is just running the Klingon around all the sector blocks looking for Marauding assignments. That's like 15-20 minutes of work. Another 10-20 turning stuff in and queuing up Doff assignments on the other two, mostly by just seeing what's available wherever they happen to be standing. I don't usually run them all around looking for more.
None of my three generally hit their 8k cap, but between the three I'm generally well in excess of 8k especially if I actually play some content. Use the dilithium exchange to move dilithium between characters. What you do is:
1. Offer to buy Zen at 25 dilithium per. Offer all the dilithium you want to transfer. Nobody will take the offer because it's absurd. And if they somehow did, hey lots of Zen for you.
2. The offer will go up. Cancel it. The dilithium will sit in escrow in the exchange.
3. Switch characters to the one you want to hold your dilithium
4. Open the dilithium exchange and withdraw all your dilithium.
My Fed is the banker, he has all the dilithium so I know how much I have overall. If my KDF or Romulan needs some, I just transfer the amount over to them.
Silvers cant do mining on a regular basis because we cant get the claims as easy as gold. Getting the claims from lockboxes can cost quite a bit of EC. I have opened 5 lockboxes and not recieved a claim yet.
@op,
Best thing you can do is grind enough dilithium to buy 2 extra slots and once those slots are filled run a spotlight foundry mission on all 5 of your slots, for 2k dilithium each. (That mission is one of the missions on the first page that has the yellow text saying it gives an extra reward for being the first completed that day). Then do DOFF assignments on all 5 characters, select any assignment that gives contraband and DO NOT SELL the contraband. and do any assignment that rewards 50 or more dilithium. After all those are filled then put the remaining assignments on whatever. Average about 2.5k+ on each character without doing any of the daily missions for 1440 or less. On your main character do atleast 2 of the 1440 dilithium dailies as well as the above doff's and foundry.
At the end of the week trade dilithium for zen on 4 of your characters then sell the zen from your main to get around 30k if you didnt do contraband on all 5 atleast once that week. And more if you max your refine on 1 or more characters. I do just the above for 30k+ so I can actualy play the game lol.
"I'm drunk, whats your excuse for being an idiot?" - Unknown drunk man. :eek:
Regular mining is a daily mission. Anybody can do it, once per day. If you do it during the Mining Event that comes up on the hourly rotation, you get more, but you still can only do it once per day.
(Yes, you can "cheat" a little by taking the mission one day, sitting on it until the next day, then double pumping it during the event. It's still, average, once per day though)
First thing to do is farm enough DIL with the 3 characters you can make as a FTP player. Then purchase enough ZEN to buy 2 more character slots.Or spend $6 to buy 2.
Make 4 of the 5 you'll have KDF and farm the marauding missions with DOFFs for Contraband, and turn it in for DIL.Doffing starts at LV11 Get at least 5 projectile/energy weapon and tractor beam officers and security min.on each KDF I avg over 20 contraband daily with 20 min work per character.Turn in contraband every 4 hrs with all 5.
Make one character your main and concentrate on it.Get your main to LV50 as fast as possible and do STF's and such for more DIL. The extras are only tools.

He's got the D.
I recommend what everyone else is doing. Namely, a +1 to everyone who thought of the extra characters.
8k on STFs? Is that on Elite or normal difficulty?
Also, how would more toons get you more dilithium for your main character? Is this through the shared account bank feature available from the Zen store?
Place cheap buy orders (25 dil per Zen) on dilithium Exchange.
Switch to main character.
Cancel orders.
Withdraw dilithium.
Small flaw in your plan, Doesn't turning in Contraband have a 20 hour cooldown? Some Unscrupulous Projectile Weapons & Tractor Officers on a Klingon Toon you'll be overloaded with Contraban.
Also for a one time hit the Romulan rep T5 mission pays 32k unrefined Dilithium.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
problem solved
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Or you can be patient and wait/play a few days (of refining) to get that particular item.
(I know blasphemy in this current culture of instant gratification/must have what I desire NAO!)
