TodayI fought every type of krayt there is, and I looted 4 "good" pearls. 2 were from juveniles,2 fromadolescants.

This, I should point out, is GOOD for me, i usually find 0-1 pearls. They tuned between 54 and 26 damage and -4 to -2 fc. The worst one I tuned AT a force shrine, meditating. Not the best of results, i'm sure you'll all agree.

On the other hand i bought a "fair" crystal for 120k, took me 5 seconds, and i tuned it right there for 74 dam -8 fc.

This happens to me all thetime, My best ls components at present are crystals, and I had a quality and premium pearl pre cuthat weren't as good. I understand that a bad crystal has the potential to tune to 110 dam...which often seems to me the case...and that a bad pearl has the chance of tuning to 120 damage. But I really don't know what SOE were thinking about when they made the tuning tables...

As a side note, I'm beginning to worry about pearls now because of the hybrid nerf coming along soon. Before, I was Mrifles and a mix of jedi abilities. A template that i thoroughly enjoyed and would have liked to keep. I didn't even PvP with the toon, just hunted high end mobs. When the next pub hits, I'll be pretty useless, so I try to build a decent ls.But still I can'ttune a decent pearl...

It makes absolutely no difference where you tune your pearl or crystal.

Every tune is a dice roll.

The better grade they are, the better odds of a good tune.

I know this, and have read it a thousand times. Merely pointing out that I've had far more success with crap crystal tunes than good pearl tunes. Found it a bit funny, that's all.

Ah I remeber when you tuned 6 premiums you could still get 6 crappy pearls...just keep tuning and you will get something eventually.

Mate, dont waste your time tuning these crap pearls/crystals that are post-CU. If you take a look at the +1230 posts on Tiggs' three paragraphs of lies stating that todays pearls are still posbbie to tune good, you will clearly see this is not the case. I myself have tuned over 63 post-cu pearls and about 37 crystals and not one of them was a decent tune. Likewise for the 1230+ ppl who left threads on the post regarding pearls from Tiggs.

Out of all those ppl would you not think that at least one person might have got a decent tune from all ofthe post-cu pearls they tuned ? if you want a decent saber either spend 200million in buying pre-cu pearls (oh, that are also conveniently bugged just now thanks to another bug) or build a timemachine and go back before CU and loot pearls then, at least they were possible to get.

Good luck, please read Tiggs' post and leave feedback, it is the only way the Devs will ever come to their senses. It aint fair that the max dps a post-cu Jedi can get is approx 380 while a BH can get approx 580dps. And yes I am saying that from first hand experience, I was a BH only 4 weeks ago and looted enhanced power cells every second day that had approx 184 damage and -8 SAC. This loot was easily obtainable and could/can be made into deadly weapons..... Alarm bells are ringing, please post and leave your thoughs,

Terraval I dont mean to call that guy a liar but he did not specify when he got these pearls nor the date that he tuned them, from the date he joined the forums it would appear that he is a long serive player who may not have any need to tune the crap given out on todays servers that are believed to be pearls/crystals, I am sorry if anyone is offended in me saying that

get use to it my friend, I have tuned 63 pearls and about 38 crystals and not got stats that are only just slightly better than that on three of those crystals. Likewise for the 1230+ ppl who placed posts under Tiggs' thread regarding the pearl drop

Seems to me from the tunes I've seenthat crystals have a higher chance of high damage/force cost, whereas pearls sacrifice some of that roll into giving a higher speed mod.
