Ok, I've tuned probably 15 crystals of varying qualities and gotten differnt stats for each one. Do you stand a better chance with your tunes with a specific skill? For example, a padawan at novice saber tunes a crystal and get say 33 min/max and 0 force cost. Is there any skill that gives you a chance at a better tune or is it just luck of the draw on the crystals?
Forget about all but premium pearls. Just tune.

I have a room littered with worthless crystals. Of to 30, or so, I’ve tuned thus far only 5 have any redeeming qualities. From memory they are roughly as follows:
1. 33/33 damage, -0.28 speed, -3 FC (Premium Crystal)
2. 25/25, -0.17, -4 (Quality Crystal)
3. 14/14, -.006, -5 (Quality Crystal)
4. 8/8, -0.24, -5 (Premium Crystal)
5. 20/20, -0.12, -4 (Fair Crystal)
I’m not jumping up and down about any of those, trust me, lol. The hardest part is deciding what 2 suck the least, he he. I carry 2 sabers, one that hits hard, and one that costs little to use.
My second gen sabers all have a 26 FC so far, so you crystals mod the cost to 16-19.
The four crystal combo’s I came up with are 1&2, 3&4, 2&3, 5&2
1-2 combined mods: 58/58, -0.45, -7
3-4 combined mods: 22/22, -0.30, -10
2-3 combined mods: 39/39, -0.23, -9
5-2 combined mods: 45/45, -0.29, -8
I carry 1-2 in my orange double blade, and 3-4 in my green. The sabers are identical w/o crystals.
Aside from there nothing I have has a FC of better then –2, unless it has other neg stats, and even then it’s only a –3.

I agree with you. Its not random...tune 25 poor crystals and 25 prem/flawless and your'll see better tunes on the latter...not saying a prem can't tune into crap - the chances are just less and hence its not random IMO.

Tuned 3 premium crystals off elders and 5 premium pearls off giant krayts last night. The best one I got was 47 damage -4 FC and the worst was 13 damage -2 FC. YAY FOR PAPERWEIGHTS!

lol you cant make judgements after having tuned less than 10 of each. Anyway ive had crap tunes from anything but premiums which tune to v good most of the time usually have two out of three stats high (dmg/speed/fc), granted it can be a 'critical failure' and come out as -1/-1 0fc but that is not likely.
One thing i know for sure is pearls always have faster speeds than crystals, and if you want a 50% chance or so at a -7/8/9 get premiums....you could go through 300 fairs/good till you get one over -7fc, its just not worth it.
I destroy any crytals that is lower than -6 fc and thats only been less than 25% of my prems so far

tuning crystals is getting on my nerves now i use some premium crystals to tune and get 4min/max dmg -0.2 speed -1FC or around this on my premiums/good crystals i then tune a "fair" quality crystal 25/25 dmg -0.3 speed -2FC.
hang on arnt rubbishy crystals ment to tune really badly?

the chances are just better on high quality crystals do get better results, but you can still have bad luck with the high quality one. and i think saber experimantation also gives better chances too.
