I haven't had the crystals examined so I don't know their quality. Are the looted NS armor sements/shards worthwhile to keep? I'm really getting sick of trying to sell stuff, and if it's not worth it, I'd just as soon destroy them along with the other junk.only nighsister layers i dont delete are the ones that are 7% or higher base . with shards i only keep them if the mind encumbrance is better than -25 .regarding damage crystals you can get a good idea of their quality based on the mob that dropped it .premium = nighsister elderquality = protectors and spell weaversgood = sentinals , stalkersfair = nighsister initiatesi am not sure if rangers and outcasts drop fair , good or maybe both .
Rangers drop 'Good'
I got a 'Select' from a Protector this week.
It couldn't have replaced my 1556 pupped anyway

spellweavers, sentinels and protectors are not bad to kill. i have gotten more exceptionals off them than elders. but the draw for me, is looting +25's. seeing that you have looted a "clothing attachment" from an elder...is a rush.
as for a waste of time...2.5 mintues for an elder, maybe 30 seconds for a protector. its not a huge difference. and as for armor, depends on your setup. ADK enough pieces and armor isnt even in the question.

What? How do you kill elders in 2.5 minutes? I'm sorry but right now I'm having a little trouble believing all this. I see you saying you kill 20-30 elders per buff session and that you can kill them in 2.5 minutes? First off where do you find 20-30 elders per buff session? And what kind of weapon are you using that you can kill them in 2.5 minutes? Forgive me for not believing but I have fought enough elders to know that you must have some crazy kind of weapon and skill to kill them that fast. And to find 20-30 of them in one buff session means you must have ranger tracking 4. So how can you have a template that can kill elders and still have ranger too?
You can just keep pulling the same elder out of the spawn once you find a wild spawn.

20-30 times in 3 hours?
And what kind of weapon can kill an elder in 2.5 mins? Lightsaber maybe but I can't imagine any other kind of weapon that could and I can't imagine how a Jedi could stand up to an elder without having someone else there to tank it. Sorry, I don't buy this story of 20-30 times a buff session and killing them in 2.5 mins.
We milked a spawn last night for an entire buff session and we only got 4 elders out of it. I don't believe any spawns will put out a single mob 20-30 times in 3 hours. I think this is one of those big fish that got away stories.

20-30 is easily doable.

20-30 is easily doable.How? If this is so easily doable, can someone please explain to me how? Or is it some closely guarded secret? Everyone keeps saying they can do it and how easy it is but I have yet to see anyone say how to do it so easily. Someone please elaborate.
find a static spawn, pull the elder out, repeat
no big secret, just practice
