So answer me this...If i take out the crystals (in a LS with anti decay kit) and destory the LS i'll get the Kit back and be able to put those Crystals in a new LS. THen i'm able to put that kit on that LS?
Yes.
Not to keep nit picking this subject, but...
Does this mean that we can keep deletingour LSin place of a better one over and over while getting the ati-decay kit back every time, or was this just a one time thing? Also, would the anti-decay kit work on other objects as well and get it back if that object is deleted?
It sounds like the anti-decay kit will never go away. Any item you put it on can be deleted, and the kit will always reappear in your inventory.
But that's just an assumption based on what has been said so far. I'm very very very curious to know if this is correct...

New replacements will be protected from decay as long as they are in the origional saber shell - or the anti-decay moves with the pearls?
Yes. Anything in the lightsaber should be immune to decay.
I still dont get this!
Say if you "insured" a saber (with no crystals inside). Then put 5 crystals inside the saber. Whould those crystals not decay then, because the saber wont decay?
Or will you have to "insure" the saber, with crystals inside ?
Can you replace the crystals inside a "insured" saber - without the new crystals will decay?
I'm pretty sure it means this:
- Application of Anti-decay kits to sabers protect the saber and its contents from decay.
- The protection is on the saber container. This protections extends to the contents of the container, but those contents can be swapped as you please.
- Swap crystals in and out as often as you wish ... which ever ones are in the protected saber container are also protected.
so you wont have to make new sabers all the time?
You just have one "insured" saber and then replacing the crystals as you whish. and the Crystals will never decay?

Tiggs. Please let us know how these kit work with our lightsabers! does the kit cover all items in the LS as the LS itself does not decay anyway or do we need to use the kit on pearls/crystals individually!
You gotta let us know man. Please.

Just putting 2 and 2 together. They've stated that these will prevent battle decay. Crystals and pearls only lose condition during battle, so I would think that it would prevent decay of all crystals and pearls inside the lightsaber.

Has this fix happened yet?
Yes, the fix has been live since Friday.
Can we use them now?
Yes, we can use them now.
And is it for sure that we can re-use them?
Yes, I am sure we can reuse them, I have done it already. Just destroy the saber with the anti-decay applied and you will get the anti-decay kit back for reuse on another item, including a saber. Make sure to remove all crystals and pearls inside before destroying the saber, though.
I would hate to waste it.
Understandable.

It would seem that I am in a minority, but I think these decay kits are one of the worst things to be introduced to the game since it began!
It was already bad enough when people with an uber weapon owned everyone else in PvP ... or owned all NS Elders ... or whatever. But at least there was the knowledge that one day the weapon would decay, leaving a chance to others.
But now all those uber looted DoT weapons and lightsabers with 4 amazing pearls/crystals will last forever and ever and ever. The person concerned will rule PvP or Elders (or whatever) for ever and ever and ever ...
Sad ... and ohhhhhh, such a BAD idea !
