Please take a moment to respond to the following questions:


  • Are you seeing any pearls/powercrystalsthat converted with a min damage ofmore then 15?
  • Are you seeing any pearls/power crystalsthat converted with a max damage of more then 20?
  • Are you seeing pearls with any stats other then damage?
  • Do color crystals behave as expected?
  • Do pearls/power crystals behave as expected?



  • Are you seeing any Lightsabers that converted with a min damage ofmore then 200?
  • Are you seeing any Lightsabers that converted with a max damage of more then 400?
  • Do you see any stats other then damage, elemental damageand range?


I told ya what "keeping them in the Interim" meant.


I guess all my cheap-ass 20-30 damage crystals and your 30-40-50 million credit premium/flawless pearls will have a damage difference of 5 now.


Talk about nerfage.

I'm not saying whether it's bad or good, all I'm saying is that if I spent tens of millions of credits for premium pearls, for just a 20 damage gain, I'd be royally pissed.

Read it again before you laugh. The stats she is giving are min/max on the same pearl/crystal.

The best Pearl/Crystal will be no higher than 15min 20max damage.

The worst however could be 1min 1max damage, or based on my Pre CU experience tunes could even have negative stats and be unusable.

So a saber with the best pearls/crystals will have 260min 480max and the saber with worst usable pearls/crystals would be 204min 404max. Looks like a saber with the best materials will still be 20% better in the new system.

Additionally the elemental damage multiplier is currently based on the max damage of a saber. If that remains a 30% increase for a banes/sunriders (25% increase for a standard color crystal), would be an additional 24points of elemental damge for a person with the best saber. Then of course there is the "Elder Reward" crystal which is said to be better than the ones currently in Live.

True, there won't be that much of a difference, but the damage difference could be greater than 5. Not that that will make much of a difference either.


It looks like 15 is the maximum that the minimum damage stat should be. Of course the pearl could be converted to less than 15. (3 for example)

Are you assuming that premium pearls and crystals will still not be dropping after the NGE?


I bet the premium drops were never fixed because:


a) it helped keep some of the jedi population from having great sabers


b) the NGE was on the way anyway



If the pearl drops and the tuning problems are fixed new jedi will be able to assemble a saber almost as good as a vetern jedi, minus the vet bonus of course.

Good lord. Why not do away with the whole system then? Means the pearls and crystals are largely worthless.


Are we all going to run around like clones of one another looking like Luke?

Total speculation here, but I'm thinking that all pearls/crystals will be reset and all of them will be the same condition i.e "good".Basically doing away with condition status altogether.On DAY ONE of the NGE everyone will have to re-tune their pearls.

Which is why I saved all of mine by storing them in 4th gen sabers in my bank.

Patch 9 Jedi Revamp I had around 100 pearls, of which 17 were -9fc (the stat that mattered back then), after I retuned them only 1 of them had a -9fc. I decided then that I would never delete a pearl or crystal in the event we were forced to retune them again.

It took me another several hundred pearls to get my current perfect saber so I will have plenty to retune next week.
