slightly off topic answer: Ft Tusken i s agood place, or atleast used to be, as i havent farmed crystal in awhile. But the best come from nightsisters. Patience though, they dont drop alot. might get 1 or 2 out of a 3 hour grind, and sometimes none.



SWG captivated me for 2 years, Then in 1 day destroyed my love for the game.
NO other MMO had/has what SWG was in the past. So now i just sit and wait for a Miracle.

It's because the drop rate of them are worse than pearls (ironically). Fort Tusken is a perfect spot... get about one or two an hour.


Man... does anyone remember the Pre-CU days when Fort Tusken was actuallya SCARY place to go through? Nothing but weakling lvl 30s now.

Can anyone give me some advice where you find all these crystals? I am 19/24 way to becoming a jedi and I am already starting to Stock Up

Also I have been hunting tuskens at the sandcrawler and been getting red crystals, takes about 15 because they dont drop like hotcakes...

But when I have a whole afternoon, that is what I do, kill tuskens for red crystals (3/5 my last tusken crystal loots have been red)

Night sisters usually drop the clear ones for me. Same with Singing mountain clan.

Canyon Corsair POI on Lok has a good drop rate for color crystals, and the occasional clear. After about an hour of killing you can usually rake in 5-10 colors and 1-2 clear.

Keep looting them until you have ablack crystal, its very rare but it will allow you to temporarily alter the colors of your lightsabers, and thus the elemental damage as well.

There used to be a rarity table attached to the color crystals. No idea if it's still in place though. I don't remember what the order was. As for where to get them, here's the Pre-CU list:
  • Hutt Expedition Force Surveyor (Yavin IV)
  • Hutt Expedition Force Leader (Yavin IV)
  • Lost Aqualish Bomber (Talus)
  • Lost Aqualish Marksman (Talus)
  • Lost Aqualish Marshal (Talus)
  • Lord Nyax Disciple (Corellia)
  • Marooned Pirate Engineer (Lok)
  • Weequay Captain (Tatooine)
  • Alkhara Champion (Tatooine)
  • Binayre Swindler (Talus)
  • Binayre Chief (Talus)
  • Narmle Commander (Rori)
  • Nym Surveyer (Lok)
  • Brigand Leader (?)
  • Mokk (Dantooine)
  • Marauder (Endor)
  • Jinda (Endor)

    I have no idea if this list is still valid or not as I've not done any color crystal looting in a very long time.

    Quick question...I know each color is supposed to have a different element damage or type of element damage, but I have read that that is currently screwed up. My question is regarding the rarity of certain "common" colors. If all are supposed to have he same drop rate, then something is amiss.


    I have looted about 30 of these things, most beingyellow and green. Of the approx. 30 I have, 2 are blue, and1 is red.


    Anyone know if the drop rate is different for blue and red? And if so, why?

    Clear Crystals are really what you want to stock up on, anyway. Your lightsaber can only use one colored crystal at a time, but a 4th generation saber can use up to 4 clear crystals, and depending on the tuning of them (which is random) your damage and force costs change. The amount of elemental damage is also partly dependent on the clear crystals which you have in your saber, although the type of elemental damage depends on the color crystal.
