Thread: A perfect way to (re)introduce all named color crystals and flawless pearls: Chu-Gon Dar Cube!
/thumbsup
This would be wonderful, and would make me actually play my Jedi, I'm sure.

First, let me say I think you have a wonderful idea, GIzmo. The only problem I have is with this part. I think the number of normal crystals required to make a special color crystal should be doubled, if not trippled. Normal color crystals are EXTREMLY easy to loot(Canyon Corsairs, anyone?), and can be found on the bazaar very cheap. Instead of 3 dark blue crystals to make a Kenobi's legacy, I think it should be more like 6 or 9. But anyway, thats just my opinion, and either way I hope you idea becomes a reality because it would be extremly awsome. GL!

- Put 3 regular color crystals of the same color in the Chu-Gon Dar Cube to yield a named color crystal of the same color.
Possible recipes:
3x blue color crystal => Horn’s Future (blue named color crystal)
3x dark blue color crystal => Kenobi's Legacy (dark blue named color crystal)
3x light green color crystal => Kit’s Ferocity (light green named color crystal)
3x dark green color crystal => Qui-gon's Devotion (dark green named color crystal)
3x light purple color crystal => Bane’s Heart (pinkish purple named color crystal, also lootable from Necrosis)
3x dark purple crystal => Windu's Guile (deep purple named color crystal)
3x red color crystal => Maul's Vengeance (red named color crystal)
3x dark red color crystal => Kun’s blood (dark red named color crystal)
3x yellow color crystal => B’nar’s Sacrifice (yellow named color crystal)
3x dark yellow color crystal => Ulic’s Redemption (dark yellow named color crystal)
3x orange yellow color crystal => Bondara’s Folly (orange named color crystal)
3x brown color crystal => Quintessence of the Force
- Put combinations of 3 different color crystals into the Chu-Gon Dar Cube to get named crystals of different color variations.
Possible recipes:
1x dark green crystal + 1x blue crystal + 1x dark blue crystal => Sunrider's Destiny (teal color crystal, also a quest reward in Aurilia)
1x dark green crystal + 1x light green crystal + 1x blue crystal => Dawn of Dagobah (greenish-blue color crystal)
1x light purple crystal + 1x dark purple crystal + 1x blue crystal => Gallia’s Intuition (pink color crystal)
1x yellow color crystal + 1x dark yellow color crystal + 1x orange color crystal => Prowess of Plo Koon
1x light purple color crystal + 1x blue color crystal + 1x dark blue color crystal => Mundi’s Response
1x blue color crystal + 2x dark blue color crystal => Strength of Luminaria
2x blue color crystal + 1x dark blue color crystal => Baas’ Wisdom
(1x orange color crystal + 1x yellow color crystal + 1x red color crystal => Lava color crystal (also obtainable via quest/loot))

You have a point, but I'm guessing he used three because that is the way the devs coded the cube for the other recipies. We all know the devs like to reuse code so it would be more likley they would impliment it with just the "normal" three requirement.
If that is indeed the case, I agree we dont need to push for something that requires more coding. However, I think maybe a damage crystal should be required in the making of these color crystals just so their not too easy to make. Maybe a fair damage crystal in addition to 2 colors to make a special color.
this would be an excellent idea and a great reason to buy the new expansion (for which I've yet to find a reason to buy).
thank you for posting this interesting and constructive post amid all the recent ranting in this forum.

This would basically REQUIRE all Jedi to buy ToOW, as the cube is non-tradeable and looted from Mustafar.
Not true. You would likelyhave to buy ToOW to get and use a Chu-Gon Dar Cube, I think (not sure if it's bio-linked?), but not to reap the rewards inherent in Gizmo's suggestion. If implemented it would mean that these named crystals and more importantlyincreased quality pearls/crystals would be on the open market in much greater quantities at much lower prices than you see now. This would benefit all Jedi greatly, not just the ones with the expansion.
This suggestion is very similar to the "pearl recycler" suggestions made earlier, making the Cube as the recycler.
A question for Gizmo: Would the Cube in your suggestion accept tuned crystals or pearls? I would think not, I expect that the Cube would only be able to recombine untuned ones, to keep everything from becoming over-saturated with pearls as everyone combines/recombines/re-recombines81 oftheir old good-qualitycrappy tunes into anice shiny new premium. Or not, now that I do the math LOL.

I love this idea! It resolves the crystal/pearl situation and (FINALLY) adds in the named color crystals. Plus, it would give Jedi some much needed content while not detracting from the needs of the rest of the game or other professionat all.
Good job, Glzmo... now if only it could get implemented...
C'mon devs, if you care at all about this game you've got to do something to at least make it somewhat desirable to play Jedi again (all flames aside). I think the ToOWBeta really helped to prove that even Jedi with Lightsabers filled with perfectly tuned Flawless Pearls are still no more powerful than a normal full combat template... Droves of players are leaving the game because, frankly, the implementation of Jedi sucks. Time to start doing something about it...

Excellent ideas on the new implementation of crystals, we need this guy back.
