lol holy crap I wish I had your luck! The past 15 that I've killed have dropped credits, health wound packs, action wound packs, dark jedi medallions, mystical orbs, credits, heavy duty clasps, crystalline clothing treatments, and more credits. oh, and one maroj melon.

And the best bit is, you have to exploit the mission giver.....and CSRs don't look kindly on it (so the rumours say)
So less imps on the servers if they start to get banned for exploiting, can't be a bad thing can it?

krayts are the only thing i've seen drop prem pearls, but anything has the ability to drop a pearl. i got 2 good pearls off of reb NPCs yesterday.
anyway - i didn't think premiums were dropping atm?

Not ture, I was at a Rebel base and one of them droped a pearl. Dont know what kind it is, as Im not a Jedi yet, but he droped it nonetheless.

I heard a rumor that Ancients are dropping Premiums now, can someone confirm this?
I've spent the last 3 days primarily around the Krayt graveyard with a 3 man team killing Canyon Krayts, Giant Canyon Krayts, Juvenile Krayt and Ancients. We've killed so many Krayt I've lost count and in total I got 7 pearls and the group about 18-20. Of all those pearls every single one was of "good" quality. All the players that I know who have hunted for pearls in CU haveonly got and continue to get only good

don't think they are, since Krayts are messed up in level right now. According to some people on the forums, the level of the creature determines the grade of the pearl/crystal. So a level 70 npc/krayt will drop a fair, level 80 npc/krayt will drop a good. Then I think it went something like a level 100 drops quality, level 150 or 200 or something drops premium, and level 250 or 300 or something like that drops flawless.
since there is no Krayt over 100, they can only drop good pearls. In a way, killing giants, adolescants, grands, and ancients are a waste of time right now, when you can farm juvies and canyons and get the same grades in 1/4 the time.

I think this is the reason why premiums and flawless dont drop atm. Because the market would be flooded within hours of premium and flawless pearls. In a way, its WAY easier now to kill a krayt then before CU. You need the same ammount of people, but only 5% of the time, as before the CU. I think SOE are taking their time to check the situation before they let Krayts drop pearls again. Maybe they will put krayts to the same level as the DJM? I mean. CL 84 for a giant krayt is way to love really... and even 92 is way to low for a ancient one... I have seen Rebel NPCs having higher CL rate then the krayts!!
