pre cu you had 50 as the cap

Now you see a better tuning ratio dependent on the quality of the pearl. The one exception is that premium pearls are much harder to get into that 120 -.29 -9 FC slot because that is reserved for the Flawless Pearl.
Its also not limited to those set intervals and can get outliers off of lower quality pearls and tune into the next category, as quality crystals have.
Just because Premiums are much rarer doesn't mean you can't have a decent saber. Qualities are still dropping, it will just be that much harder to get a good tune.

I dont get it... They should make it so Pearls/Crystals tune to a certain quality depending on the quality of the crystal... It should not be random. For instance:
"Poor" Crystals/Pearls: Should tune poorly and not be able to tune above 50dmg, -.1, -5FC. That should be the ABSOLUTE best you can get.
"Fair" Crystals/Pearls: Should tune fairly good but not be able to tune above 70dmg, -.13, -7FC.
"Good" Crystals/Pearls: Should tune good but should not able to tune above 90dmg, -.2, -9FC. But also, they should ALL tune over 70dmg, -.13, -7FC.
"Quality" Crystals/Pearls: Should not tune over 110dmg, -.25, -9FC. But must tune over 85dmg, -.17, -7FC.
"Premium" Crystals/Pearls: Should tune VERY good and must tune over 100dmg, -.18, -8FC.
"Flawless Crystals/Pearls: Like the quality says, should tune FLAWLESSLY. Must tune over 110dmg, -.2, -8FC.
This way, people will know what to expect when tuning. Cause it sux when you spend 15M + on a prem/flawless and end up tuning to crap. I dont know, this is just my idea. Any suggestions?

yeah it would be nice, i'd prefer having no "cap" on how they will tune but a minimum tuning stat on a pearl

Well, a "good" pearl shouldnt EVER tune better than a "Premium" Pearl, so that's why there is the max cap.
