Thread: TO TUNE OR NOT TO TUNE? THIS IS MY QUESTION!
SWG - Director of Community Relations
Did you remove ALL the crstals from your inventory which were over 60/60 before tunning? Place them in a private structure and fill your inventory with a junk load of lesser tunnings each time you are prepared to tune.Then stand on your head and wistle dixie in the middile of a freeway during rushhour. Only then will you tune over 100.
And yes, they tune over 100 about 1% of the time. That's 1% at each tunning and it's not cumulative.

i tuned a fair crystal the other day that was +78 damage and -6 fc. that aint too shabby especially for a fair one. Tuned a good crystal at +29 damage with -2 FC, go figure. Cant comment on premium crystals cuz well i havent been able to loot any form anything and cant justify millions of game credits to try to buy one especially since the chances of tuning something awesome dont seem to high.
ok, so It does happen.....rarely but it does, ok!

all that stuff about healing your wounds and kneeling at a shrine is a load of crap. At some point ONE person did that and randomly got an awesome tune so poeple went crazy and thought it actually helped....random is random....I am inclined to believe that Master lightsaber gives a hidden modifier, but I have no proof of course
I never thought of this. If this pans out, I have a vault full of these I'll need to check out.

Once tuned a premium to -1/-1 0FC...I even contacted a CSR about it as it was plainly borked, also pointing out that had I used it my saber would have been WORSE then not using it....got the cut & paste "WAI" message
Often in computer programs, the value "-1" does not represent a negative value, but the absencee of a value. If you recall back to the days of Pre-CU; "-1" use DoT items were acually unlimited use items.
Of course, the pearl may do nothing, but then again, it may do something very weird....

. Which are you?"
I unlocked post CU and all my pearls and crystals were fiar or good when I tuned them. I can't tell you how many I have tuned, but it is a lot. I estimate around 40.
The ones I have in my saber are a 100 -2 fair crystal, 95 -3good crystal,94 -6 pearl, 84 -5 pearl. While these are not great, they are not horrible either. Most of the tunes I did are between 13dmg and 55dmg with crystals being more random. Pearlsmainly seem to tune between 30 and 60. I got a few pearls in the 20's and maybe 1 in the teens, but crystals seem to tune in the teens a lot, and in my case don't seem to have good force cost even when they do tune well.
While I haven't tuned one for 100+ and fc 6+, I have come close. If what the above poster said is true about the 1% good tunes, I have a lot of tuning to do, but in the meantime I'm doing ok.

WellI am and havent got a good tune post CU. 29 crystals and counting......not good!
I have not played jedi since pre cu, so I obviously cannot prove that, nor does it seem to make a difference post cu (from what ive read). But I can tell you this, pre cu I NEVER tuned a premium that didnt have at least decent dmg or fc....though I only tuned maybe 10 so it proves nothing. While I Was master lightsaber I mean, i never tuned one before....All of this means nothing post cu evidently because I remember very vividly tuning goods and fairs to -8 -9 -7 fc and very low damage, but damn good for a grinding saber. I dont see much of this hapening post cu, they definitely changed something.
