I would call anything with a -9 good, anything.

he he maybe its new to you, but tuning is totally RANDOM, the quality just gives you a hint in what kind of range the randomness will be:-) thats why most jedis dont touch low crystals from jantas and stuff, its just a waste of time. well maybe they will now, with NS have their specials back:-) I got a -9 out of a fair one (and 50 where total crap) and several -1 to -4 of quality once. so its just freaking random




Lol you contradict yourself there. You say its random, but 50 of your less than premium crystals were crap and one was good.


8 out of 10 of my premiums have been excellent.


Seem random to you?







I know what you mean, but you missunderstood me, or I was not able to explain it the right way:


it is random, the quality of the crystals just give you a kind of hint in what "range" you tune it or better how your chances are to get a good result. many ppl think a premium has to be a good one, but thats wrong, it can be a good one maybe more than a fair one, but it is just that you have a better chance in the "tuning-dice". so a fair one can be -9 too, and a premium one can be -1 too. the opposite of random would be a secure result in case of the statet quality. hope I was able now to state it right what I ment.


and about the difference in the rank of your jedi, no it does not matter, we give that thought also a shot in our forum, but no effect.


bottomline is, you tune every crystal you can get in loot or free, pay never for a not premium one or at least not more than little money and try to get only premium once to raise your chance for a real good one. there are ppl who sell white crystals from jantas for 300k, but that is crazy IMO to buy them, the chance that you can throw him away after tuning is just to high. about flawless crystals I dont know, they dropped to seldom now to make propper tests.

After purchasing a premium crystal the other night I decided to see wht kind of tune I would get from it.To say the least after paying 4 million for it I was a bit disappointed when it tuned for a 59 -6, I've tuned lower quality crystals for way higher damage and better fc. It's frustrating having to spend millions of credits for high quality components for our sabers that end up beingcrappier than the onesu alrdy have. I do not have and endless supply of credits in my bank account, so being forced to paythis muchfor components that end up well below any elite crafted weapon that can be purchased for 1/4 of the price kinda sux. Due to the lack of any highend drops of these componentsprices have beendriven up on these items to a point where only the uber rich can afford to purchase them. SOE has messed up the loot table yet again causing prices on these components to sky rocket, reminds me of the holo grinding days. They need to fix the issues with the drops for these items, so that we are not spending uber amounts of credits on highend pre-cu crystals/pearls that end up tuning worse than low quality ones. I cannot afford to buy 5 or 10 highend crystals/pearls at 4 million or more a piece just to get 4 decent tunes.

I bought some "good" pearls last night that were looted post-CU and I got 96/96 -6 FC on one and 76/86 -5 FC on the other. Not totally sure if these are good tunes, but I was happy with them

i'll take the 96/96 -6pc in my saber to replace the 3 80/80 -6 fc i have in mine. tho i do have 1 nice tune of 120/120 -7 fc from a per cu pearl.

yeah I figured when I got those tunes. I was thinking that quality on pearls probably doesn't matter right now. It's probably just all about the luck of the tune at this point.

Yea, oftentimes I've had qualities be better than premis. Never tuned a flawless though. Everything has been crap since the CURB though.

OK, search seems to be borked for me right now.

Has anyone figured out the basic stat range on tuning various quality pearls/crystals?

Like a Fair pearl/crystal will tune with a dmg range of xx,yy, speed xx,yy, etc?

Ive gotten a few Fair crystals and they tuned from 23(yukky ) to 87 for me.
