Thread: Crystal farming strategies

I've read some *anecdotal* stories of folks getting very good tunes from low quality crystals that drop off the low lvl critters. Now maybe overall the higher quality crystals give a small or slight advantage, but I'm wondering whether a better strategy would be to farm/buy the low qual stuff instead. The idea being that you can acquire them easier, faster, & cheaper and maybe get lucky on that 1 in 100. Has anyone tried this?

Do you have a rough ballpark guestimate as to how many fair crystals you have tuned? ...just trying to get an idea of the rate.

So 3 things come to mind :


1. Did you have a billion crystals to start with ?


2. Are you the absolute luckiest person in the world ?


3. Are you a damn lying child that has nothing else to do ?

rofl..i dont lie, but i can say ive tuned over 300 crystals since the CU....my saber is 696 dam, all with fair crystals (execept one premium that actually tuned well for me)


i regularly tune around 20 crystals pearls a week, usually get 2 over 100 dam


i also never get good tunes if i 2 one or 2 at a time....if i tune in quantity, they turn out alot better (20 to 30 at a time)

The real question is, by a good tune to you mean high damage, high FC or both. Since the CU I've probably tuned close to 100 crystals and pearls, some are over 100 dmg with -2 or -3 FC and others are low damage with -7 or -8 FC. In my opinion neither of these is a good tune. What good is a kick ass saber if your force runs out every time you use it..............or if you have a crazy low FC and do crap for damage. I'd like to know if anyone has tuned a crystal or pearl with high damage and a high FC like pre-CU. My best pre cu pearl is 110 dmg, -8 FC..........anything like that post CU?

I tuned one Post-CU that I looted on Dantooine in the Force Crystal Hunter's Cave. It was a 'Fair' and it tuned 91/91 -8.. pretty good if you ask me I would go loot wh0re that cave or go kill random FS NPC's on Dant. I've gotten a few 'Quality' Crystals

i considered 100 dam and -7 FC (or above) and at least .20 speed to be a good tune


i didnt mention the +110 dam with -1 FC and .00 speed ive gotten...rofl
