Hello,

I recently came back to the game and to my surprise, was ready to be Jedi. (Yes,I had to grind a little, but only a few hours before Initiate).

So, since I left, they did much to the game, most importantly the CU. I'm still trying to cope with things I was used to doing that are now not even remotely possible.

Anyway, long story short, I don't have many Jedi in guild to speak with and some I've grouped with were very curtious (sp?)in giving me a lot of insight, though all of them agreed in one thing ~I should post here for more help and recommendations.

Basically put, I have these few querstions (which may NOT have basic answers):

1. Force Crystals - When I left the game a Jedi could examine these to see the modifiers to dmg and spd. I must have 20 of these things and other than the condition, there is no difference. Is this true? I recently looked at some pearls and it seems they have ratings (Flawless, Good, etc). It seems no matter which crystals I drop into my saber, I do not see any alterations to the dps numbers.

2. Twin Force Crystals - Do these still drop? I've been told everything from no, to not very often. I'd love a dual bladed LS, but am wondering if I need to hunt more NS's or if I need to shell out millions on the trade forums.

3. PvP Templates - Obv I need to protect myself from BH's. (I noted I already group hunt). I'm so tempted to master LS, but the more research I do, the less likely that is a good decision. Is there a template out that can handle 1-on-1 lvl80 BH vs Me that includes MLS? I know I'm supposed to be weak at this point, but I'm getting tons of XP quickly and want to use it correctly the first time. I love what the Enhancer trees bring, Healing I was told was manditory (at least 3/0/0/0), and Powers looks like it has some really cool stuff as well. I am hoping that like in the days of pre-CU a really good PvP template can still PvE with the best of em, if not, oh well, it's not like I'm doing too much now anyway, I might as well be able to PvP some.

4. XP Debt - It is inevitible that I will die to a BH. I'm totally weak and require group hunting just to gain XP. I grouped with a jedi last night that attempted to explain an equation that lets me know how much my debt will be but I was totally lost. Could someone post this equation with a brief explanation? I know it had something to do with how many skill points I've spent on force powers, but that's all.

5. BH Mission Terms - I was under the impression that as I hunt NPC's or group hunt, the Empire would slowly but surely learn of my presence, which leads to me having a bounty on my head. Last night I was told a single NPC kill or a single grouped mission was all it took to show on the terms. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm on there (3 straight days of group grinding and nothing but NPC kills before that). I would like some clarification as if I am killed, and thenkill one NPC, am Ialready termedor am I safe for at leastthe rest of the night.

6. BH Misisons - If 2 BH's have my mission and one kills me, does the other lose the mission? I'd hate to be capped twice in an hour because they can group hunt me.

Anyway, that's it. I am very sorry for coming across as a n00b. Please understand that I am dealing with the CU and JTL at the same time as trying to figure out Jedi, and the XP grind is long. If I blow a BH/Pistoleer temp, I can fix that in a few good hours of hunting. With Jedi, I'm finding several hours barely getting me a box over Novice.

Thanks.

Ok,

Questions 2 and 6 are answered. I'm looking now for the Pearl Quality Systm you mentioned. I'm assuming that all crystals are the same now, only condition and color varying between them all.

About the BH's... Is there a way to tell how large the debt will be? Normally, debt is debt, suck it up and work it off, though right now, I am using 50K per death as a baseline when determining if group hunting is a good idea. Since I can grind out 100K per hour grouped, losing 50K to a BH is well worth it to me. If later I find out that I will lose 500K, that sort of changes things. Also, I am still wondering if one single group hunt or NPC kill is enough to get me on the terms, or if it something that comes over time.

And lastly, templates....

I saw this listed as a good PvP template, was wondering if I could get a little feedback....

MLS, DEF 4/4/4/0, Enh 3/0/0/2, Healer 4/0/0/0

I like the MLS, that was the one thing I was really hoping to get. However, I am a little sad to not have anything under Powers.

I'm reading and reading and reading, just there is so much to catch up on since I leftin Jan.

Ok, this is where I'm confused. I don't have one attuned crystal with stats on it. Is this a bug with my attunment ?
