All crystals and pearls below premium quality tune always bad.

And even premiums and flawless (and both no longer drop) sometimes tune so bad that it is a real waste of money :/

But since the new Jedi are willing to buy good crystals for 500K and more, I can't say I'm unhappy when I loot one

they dont all tune bad. i know jedi that have gotten decent tunes off all types of pearls and crystals, heck one guy tuned a 90 on a fair. That isnt that bad compared to 26.

---

And what about FC?

Anyway, a saber full of 90dmg crystal is only good to kill meatlumps, or such..

---

I think -4 FC, not sure though. Speaking of dmg. Is there a sticky that explains this whole tuning thing. I don't quite understand how it works.

I'ts random.

Some people wil lclaim you can better tunes if you wear the jedi robe or go to a shrine or hug luke skywalker before tuning, it's all BS.

I have tuned over 200 premium pearls (looted all of them) before I had enough near perfect pearls to fill a 4th gen LS. I've also tuned around 50 flawless pearls, all of them tuned "bad": either low dmg or miserable FC, like -5...

I should have sold them and buy something else, what a huge waste of money..

What is considered a good/great tune? And how does the stats on a pearl factor into the saber. I know the clear crystals/ pearls are for damage, and the color for elemental/saber color, but how do the stats factor into the saber? I know it's a noob question, but that is why I wondered about a sticky.

A perfect tune is 120/120 -9FC

The dmg of all the crystals add to the LS hilt dmg. The elemental dmg is based on a % of the modified dmg (hilt+crystals), I can't remember the exact %, but the sunrider's destiny and the Bane's heart crystal give a much better elemental dmg bonus compared to the regular color crystals.

Your saber hilt gets min dmg, max dmg, FC and speed when you craft it.
Crystals / Pearls add their values on top of your hilt values 1:1 - so if you put a 90/90 dmg pearl in a 50/100 dmg hilt, you will have a 140/190 dmg hilt.

A perfect tune is 120/120 to damage, -9 to Force Cost and -0.3 to speed.

So theoretically, a 4th gen LS could get 480/-36/-1.2 just from the pearls / crystals inside.

Elemental damage is always a certain percentage of the sabers max damage (including pearls / crystals).
Regular color crystals give 25% of max dmg as elemental damage, special color crystals (Banes Heart, Sunriders Destiny) give 30%. Considering a great saber has 700+ max dmg, those extra 5% are about 35 extra damage per hit.

i looted an 1198 and a 1227 condition crystal from double chevron gold npc marks (lvl 82).

i have yet to get a jedi to check them for me.

One I looted off a mark was "Fair"

My saber is 550 min 653 max 14 fc1.41 speed 100 sac and sunridergive me 190 elemental damage heat and bane's 195 electricity.

New saber have 3 bars to experimentate: speed, effectiveness and damage, pre-cu only damage and efectiveness, is for this reason that new saber sucks.

i got 2 so far a jedi checked said it was quality anotehr one ched said it was good so i dunno

Obviously one of them lied to you then. The question is: Which one was it?

Nope, pre CU saber differed depending on what type, 1h fastest but weakest, 2h mid range speed and damage, polearm high damage lowest speed.

You experimented on FC and damage only and usually got 9 points into FC and 1 into damage.

Nowadays all types of sabers are equal and speed is given as an experimental item so you can improve that, also now post CU you can get 1h and 2h sabers down to 48 FC base easily whereas pre CU 49 seemed to be the cap for 1h and 2h no matter how good resources or what successes you had. Not to mention nowadays you can get 12pt suits for 2 extra points.

for all you BH that are looking to check what your crystals are (good, quality etc.) why dont you just ask a jedi friend? do you not have any? no jedi guildies? i kno at least 10 jedi that wouldnt lie to me.

Now i have better resources and 10 point to experiment, i can down fc and sac, damage equal, but more slow. I can up speed, equal fc, but less damage... always is a worsth saber.
