Ahh... ok that makes more sense... BUT... the whole process is so random what the hell is the point of paying 3mil for a premium crystal (which some do) if you get the same kind of results from a poor one???







From what I've seen, the results aren't totally random. In my experience, the min/max values are the same for all crystals, but the average tune values are much higher based on quality. You can either tun 50-100 poors or 1-4 premiums to get your 40+/-7+ crystal.




Ahh... hmm...


Well are the drops random then too??? I know people get ones the sell for alot of the head nightsister... So is it different for every creature or do they all drop the same???


Oh and does anyone know where to look or what the average prices are for color crystals??? I got a ton of them and want to sell the colors I don't want off but have no idea what I should sell them for....

I believe the Jedi FAQ has the drop tables for Nightsisters/Crystals.

Not sure on Krayts and pearls... I mostly buy instead of hunt those!

Ok so if you buy.... what do you normally pay for color ones?? I mean I have alot of different colors... what I wanna know is what to sell them for... like what each color is worth....

Colors are more or less worthless. One trip through either of the ewok caves on Endor and you can get 3-5. Not worth my money.

So umm... how so you tell if a crystal is "premium" or not.... I hear of people selling these untuned "premium" crystals and as far as I can tell you can not tell if a power crystal is good or bad until you tune it....






premiums have a higher chance to toon "good"....most ppl seem to think that crystal tuning is borked (as do i) and a premium crystal is worth no more to the avg jedi than one from a mokk shaman or a janta....dont waste ur time killing ns elders...kill the low/mid lvl ones and get there crystals...they have been tuning just as well

I just spent 7.25M on two more premiums and will tune them shortly. Results to follow.


FYI: My last two premium tunes came out to be -9 and -8 w/ damage in the 30 to 40 range.

/agree


In my experience, though I senseit hasmerely been luck, my better tunes came from crystals (Quality and Select) with high condition. Most of the premiums I have tuned, have tuned like s$$$

Update:


Just tuned 2 premiums.


First one 30 damage, -4 FC. Cost: 3,000,000 Time from tune to deletion: 1.4 seconds


Second one: 46 damage, -9 FC: Cost: 4,250,000


Still pretty wide range for a premium crystal...
