Last night I tuned a "Good" pearl I looted of a Giant Cayon Krayt, it tuned 117 damage, which I was really impresed with, but only -4 FC, so I doubt I will use it. What was strange was just to test I used it to replace my lowest damage pearl a 96 -7FC with it , and theDPS went down. I assume this was due to the speed modifer differnce.-.17on the 117 and-.28 on the 96.


I have tuned about 10 Post Cu goods. None have been good enough to use, but that one was close.







too bad speed modifiers on sabers are broke so you would be better off using the 117 one

Based on the explanation of why they can't fix the pearl drop issue, it seems to me that the values of the pearl/crystal are actually determined when it drops.The values are alreadythere when you loot it. They arejust not visible until you tune. Tuning seems to be all smoke and mirrors.

has anyone tuned premium pearls / flawless?..

if so how did it go?.. i turned one premium pearl Post-CU and it was horrible.. so i ended up saving my 9 premium pearls and 1 flawless pearl.. still have them now.. just scared to death to tune them.






Your prem will tune fine... my last just after CU was a 112 -7 fc. In my experience I have yet to get a sub 100 tune from a prem.

Well, most of my oldpremium pearls tuned 100+ post CU...I had one tune 80 -4 though, and 2 in the 90's -8/9 range. I've bought two flawless pearls post CU and they tuned 120/-0.2/-9 and 118/-0.29/-9. I've been lucky on those flawless pearls personally, there is still always a chance that it might tune to utter junk. You'll never know until you tune em though!

What about if you tune near a force shrine you have better chances? Is this also a rumor?
