Glad to hear of your success, but this is still a far cry from what used to be available.
Granted...but it still doesn't hurt to encourage other folks to start going for "good"s and getting a few tunes close to 100. It's making the best of a bad situation, and helps keep friends playing in game.
Every single "good" I loot goes to one of my post CU chums for free. I have one of the fabled +700 dmg sabers, and so have no need for more crystals. I'd much rather be helping friends out who aren't able to power themselves up as I did long ago

no iam not a bh doing bh missions and iam not camping cl111 static spawns , i just now where to look in the wilds on dantooine
There is a static spawn on the island next to the Dantooine MO that spawns each hour.
There are also areas out in the seemingly wild that has a definite "static area" spawn, where they will spawn within a certain range every so often.

crystals cap out at 110 max dam for reference - and i seriosly doubt it could be tuned that good off a fair - i have tuned a good crystal to 101 -6 though
This would be the second time I have heard this, is this 100% for sure confirmed or just rumor?

I guess I should consider myself lucky,
(not a flame)
ifI had 4 tunes with 40 ish damage and -4 average fc I would wear my maberi belt with +25 pistol spd and +25 ranged acc. and just use a pistol.
(for info)
I have tuned 35 or 36 good/qualtiy pearls/crystals and the 3 best are:
1) 73 -.09 -3
2) 45 -.23 -5
3) 37 -.07 -7

i used to think that too when i found a spawn of six lvl 111s and a bunch of lvl 66 lesser force "somethings". the lvl 111s all had uniquenames and they would respawn every time i killed one. eventually they all disappeared and i waypointed the place. i went back to the area for 3 days andfound nothing. i didnt just go back to the area icircled killing crap hoping to incite new spawns. i still have the waypoint so ill check over the area again.

I've been considering holding this info to myself because i love it when im the only one there but i feel theres a lot of flaming and arguing goin on that is very unneeded related to the topic of cystals/pearls. I guess most of u guys are only focused on pearls for your sabers because u think they are much better. At this point my saber is sooooooooo bad that anything would be better than my 29 -3 crystals! So i decided to head out to the canyon corsair poi on lok where i heard lots of damage crystals are droppin. After i killed one of the level 43 corsair scouts i looted a damage crystal......5 min later another......20 min later another yay!! Finally i have some crystals!! Granted they're only fair crystals, its still better than none. So after 1 hour of play i had 4 damage crystals and about 6 or so colored ones. I stayed there for about 2 hours and ended up with 8 damage crystals..not bad. So i tuned them all and one tuned to 69 69 -4 not bad and much better than my original crystals. The next best one tuned to about 49 49 -3 still not too bad but not to good. The others all tuned to crap 30 30 and so on. But in general I managed to raise my saber dps by 40 points in 2 hours not bad. So if anyone has pretty bad crystals in their saber plz head out the canyon corsair poi on lok and loot away!! I hope this helps some of my fellow jedi out and i hope it lowers cost on crystals at vendor. Mad at your saber DPS? go loot some crystals...
way to make the best of a borked situation man, I gave all my goods / qualitys I looted to some noob jedi I knew grinding and man they love that! I must have given away 40-50 sence CU. ask some vet jedi you know that do PvE they may give them to you. I could never sell a "good" or "quality" they suck to 2 bad IMO. I cant be the only jedi that thinks like this....

Better than Nightsisters/Singing Mountain Clan kills (or at least better than my luck).
I have been killing these for the past three weeks on Chilastra. I have killed 48 CL 82 NS Initiates (One crystal-unfortunately not my Jedi server so I don't know the quality), 18 CL 82-85 Rangers, 12 CL 85-87 Stalkers and 10 SMC assorted NPCs. Only the one crystal to show for it.
The one good thing is that these aren't bad medic XP (the only type that I still need) and are pretty low risk to kill with my MBH/MCH medic 0020 toon.
The tally would be 88 CL 82 elite mobs for a single crystal. Hmmm, perhaps taking the CCs for fair/poor drops would be better in the long run. It takes me approximately 1.5-2 minutes to kill one of these, a little while to coax only one at a time, and a little down time to heal up again afterwards. They aren't exactly rare, but they do take a lot longer to find than the CCs at the POI or even via missions. I won't mention the 189 wounds I've picked up doing this either...

my saber has 4 and destiny.
highest 92
lowest 46 with a nice speed modifier and -8 force.
my dps is like 450. and I am mls.
just a note. Not a flame.
Wow! How is your DPS 450 with those pearls? I am MLS (no CAs though), my pearls are 99, 92, 87 and 85 and I'm using Sunrider's. My DPS is only 440. That's with a post-CU FC/SAC and speed experimentation.
