Thread: Pearls and Crystals
I am sure they can still probably be used, but if they do it right there hopefully will be quests to obtain pearls/crystals. There defintiely shoul dnot be an economy that there is for that stuff. Heck with a pearl/crystal our 5th gen sabers are 7.0 spd. All other professions can experiment and use lots of easy to find items to reduce speed and other items. So I have a feeling they will fix this.
Heck just havig our own saber damage will do us better, but we can only hope they hear us all.

From what we just read doesnt it sound like Pearl prices will go up?
Pearlswill decay, and once they are tuned by a jedi they are only usable by that Jedi? So now Uber rich Jedi's will have 10 pearls in their backpack because they keep buying better ones and they can't resell their old weaker ones. Plus now they decay. No discussion about change in the drop rates of Pearls.

I thought that the exact opposite might happen. Now that you can't determine the stats on a pearl before you buy it, who is going fork over several million for a pearl that has a distinct possibility of being crap. I can still see uber rich players purchasing them no matter what the costs but I can't see the average joe who has spent a lot of time accumulating money just for a pearl/crystal willing give it all up for one that might have horrible stats.

Pearls and crystals probably won't go up in price too much because you won't be able to tell how good they are until they are placed in a lightsaber.
Who's to say how fast this new crystal/pearl decay rate will be as well.
I would guess prices will remain about the same for a least some time til the impact on the availability is determined on each server.
One in Archive II is the fact that the dmg on new looted crystals/pearls will be lowered compared with current lightsabers. Also, crystals off higher difficulty mobs will have better stats.
Erm how about the different crystal types?? Will there be still Twin Force crystals? Or will there be just Crystal? (double bladed ones will use 2 of them ).
When we log in, all pearls and crystals in our inv will be reset and we must tune them to us. So, if I have a twin force crystal in my inv will it turn to a untuned "Crystal"?

So which part exactly where you excited about telling us last night arjun? The part about us 4 44 4 guardians being wiped to below Knight? Or was it the non addressed broken specials and lack of defenses? Or possibly the fact that they still don't know what to do with our saber damage type other than lower the numbers on it? I know this sounds harsh,but wth is going on behind the scenes?
You're not being wiped BELOW KNIGHT though. Read it again, carefully. The level NAMES are changing. The initiate level will remain as it is now: novice padawan -> padawan, but the current knight level is being retitled to Jedi. So Novice padawan --> Padawan, Jedi --> whateveritscalled, then what is currently called master Jedi at the top of the Guardian tree is the PvP/council portion they were talking about. So you'll start off as a top level Jedi, with only the new "master level" to go through. That trial gets you on the council and into the master level. Voila.
"Umm... i just killed a nightsister and looted this crystal so it must be pretty uber ... starting bid 10 million"

actually from the way i read it, theres really only going to be 2 levels. the PVE level and the pvp level. Im even less inclined to xp now after reading that post. I really wish they'd stop being freaking politicians and tell us something instead of just using obscure crap that no one can understand.
