i spent about 4 hours tonight hunting all the creatures in the middle to the north of the map. didn't loot anything cept the same stuff you get from kashyyyk, like creature brains and other body parts. i did get a little mini-quest from a heart to go kill 25 raptors. there is also a tulrus horn that gives a mini-quest. only reward was like 7k credits. i went in the facility to the NE where those two hard creatures are that are mentioned above with two jedi. we ended up running for our lives from them
-edit- i think ive done all the exploration and creature hunting quests, and no ch or 'glowy' items were looted or rewarded.

yeah, not at all surprised unfourtunately. I think the clues (still all we have) are all pointing in the same direction... there are 4 +10 wearable loot items on mustafar: DE ring, BE ring, WS ring and the CH necklace. 3/4 have been looted by either myself or another member of my guild within the last 72 hours. We've looted two WS rings, one off the kabuza beetle foreman, and one off the droid facility boss. the DE and BE rings were both looted off that same driod facility boss. the last of which, (still un-looted and un-confirmed) is the CH necklace. In true scooby doo fashion we're forced to follow what clues we have. +10 wearable loot? probably looted from the same things that drop the others, sigh...
thethird timewe killed the droid factory boss today he dropped a MBH lightning cannon with 800 max damage so go figure.
My guild sucessfully completed HK-47 today, (first on Bloodfin) *puffs chest* and we pulled some WICKED loot off that quest. i wouldnt put it past them to drop that particuilar loot somewhere among the bosses in that quest too. but if my money's on it....
I fear we may be focusing on the wrong direction for this item
Before this post we believed it was part of the cubeand I think we all embraced this post by Bloodfinkaars because it makes sense and it has given us alla target to focus on. Problem is that to my knowledge no one has gotten this item on Radiant by doing the above mentioned quests or killing the above bosses. There has to be an issue with this item in game as only the lava crystal hasbeen undiscovered and there is no way the CH necklace should be as uber rare as the lava crystal.
I will keep up the search but as the days go on and no one gets this item by the manner Bloodfinkaars described that in my honest oppinion would discredit that method of getting the necklace.

First I want to start this off by saying that for those of you who's pets are getting wasted, you really should go out and invest in a bunch of pet stims. Pet stims are a CH's best friend. As far as tanking goes, my main pet tanks like a god. Its tanking ability is so pivitol in a group that in many dungeons my pet is tanking the boss while the group works on clearing out the rest. Often we bring along an 8th person to ungroup when we get inside so the pet can get in the group and the 8th person's job is to spam bacta on the pet. My main tank has tanked tons of stuff w/o a problem. Here's a quick list of some of the worst he's tanked. Storm Lord, Devastator, Fixer, HK-Taskmaster, Factory Guardian, Kubaza Beetle Foreman. He's tanked many others but that's the short list of baddies. Pet is nothing special, he's a shear mite soldier with thick skin 3 naturally, aggression 3, vigorous health 3, lightning reflexes 3, intim 2, beastly con 1, 89/95 vit. The vast majority of the time that he loses vit isn't due to people not healing him, but because he's the last man standing when the other 7 people in the group, including myself, are dead.
Also as far as loots go. I've been going into the decrepit facility daily, sometimes twice a day, no luck on the necklace yet.
So far I've seenall the rings drop, be, de, ws, as, from various things, beetle foreman, factory guardian, droid commander in droid army. I'll continue these until everyone I know is sick to death of them!
Anyways, have fun, and go buy yourself some pet stims.
Well, not quite. Now that I look back on things, I think the first three items (the "barely glowing" cup, datapad, worklight) only show up during the cube quest as a demo for how it works. So there's only 63 items that can be looted "in the wild". Duplicate items do apparently show up in recipes (the "lava cannon" requires two glowing batteries), so that's 63 ^ 3. And order doesn't matter (at least that's what's getting reported), so you then divide 63^3 by the number of ways you can order three items: 3 * 2 * 1 = 6. So 41,674.5.

I counted to 66known glowing items so I think there will be 274,560 or more combinations, as in 66 * 65 * 64 (possibly 66 ^ 3). First slot can take anyone of the 66items, the second takes 65 orif duplicates are allowed that is 66, and finally the third slot 64, 65 or 66 depending on if duplets/triplets are llowed. Multiply and laugh
Worse is, every "cube-made" componentnecessary adds to the 66 known items, so 66 ^ 3 is a minimum
Thanks man, I am sorry and can only say I wrote that ata very late hour

...with replacement, and order doesn't matter would be 65 * 64 * 63 / ( 3 * 2 * 1) = 43,680. ...
You are absolutely correct.

lol i would hardly call your sheer mite nothing special. it looks like its got the absolute best defenses a pet can have. i have yet to get any of my pets leveled that far up, or find the specials necessary to train. the amount of time it takes to level a pet up is a problem for at least some of us, were still working on building the tank pet that you already have.
on pet stims, all mine got one standard heal range of 250 points with the CU, which is fine after the battle, but not strong enough against elite mobs to keep him going, especially if there is more than one target attacking us at the time.
i have noticed however that my pets specials seem to stick way better on mustafar than they do on the other planets for some reason, now if i could just find imperiling feint L3 hehe.
