Also the mind buff crystal does nothing. Ive tested it with full mind same mind cost for bacta shot, and Ive done it with no mind counted how long it took to regen mind then drained my mind again used the crystal and it did nothing. Unless there is some special dance you have to do before you use it mine and several other peoples mind buff crystals dont work at all.

Immediately post-CU it didn't show any stats, and using it was like using a 3-day eggtimer. They fixed it so that it showed the same +900 Mind that it had pre-CU, but I think it's still a 3-day eggtimer. Thing is, nobody can prove it one way or another as Mind is only expressed as a percentage. However, if you're at 50% Mind, and you use the crystal, then logic dictates that if your Mind pool was bigger then that 50% you had before the buff now comprises less than 50% of the larger pool. This is not the case, and your Mind will stay at 50% (not counting normal regen).

Yeah right after CU they broke this along with a bunch of other things LOL. It got fixed a few publishes ago.

I know huh it is the stupidest thing if you think about it. Displays as a percent but using this crystal i add 900 to it.

My question is -- what about the mind crystal ?? They worked great pre-cu, but now they appear to do nothing. I thought that everything pre-cu was supposed to be modified so it would do SOMETHING post-cu...but the mind crystal doesn't. I believe you can still pick it up, but if the devs haven't "fixed" it, what is the point...or am I missing soomething. I left shortly after CU and have just recently returned...may have missed this whole conversation somewhere...?

Thanks

It still works it gives a bonus of 900 to mind for 1:30 I think now unlike Pre CU. not 100% on the timeframe as im not in game at the moment. If was broken for a while after the CU hit, but recently got "fixed"

It does buff your Mind, but since Mind and Action are both shown as percentage figures rather than raw numerical figures like the Health bar, it's not as easy to decipher the effect. Basically, if a given action (such as a heal) consumes 20 points of Mind, that's a smaller percentage of the buffed Mind pool, so the cost of the heal will drive your Mind bar down a smaller percentage of it's overall pool while the buff is active. And the Mind focusing crystal is re-usable once every four days. The Health crystal is reusable once every three days -- and yes, it's by far the best quest reward in the FS routine. It's also a prime nerf candidate, so buyer beware.
