Seriously. If we're going to have diff grades of pearls/crystals, why are their tunes random? I've heard plenty of stories and had plenty of experiences where lowgrade pearls/crystals tune high and highgrade pearls/crystals tune low. I think it would make more sense to have a set range that eachgrade of pearl/crystal can tune to for that grade, and that range should increase w/ grade. And on a side note, If we're going to have random tunes, you should get tuning bonuses in your jedi skill boxes, because someone who has a greater mastery of the force(lets take Yoda for example)should be able to tune a crystal/pearl better than someone who has a lesser mastery of it(like one of the younglings).

because they are not ramdom like the tools at soe would like you to think. The better the grade the more of a range or max damge and neg force cost you recieve.

I understand that the higher a pearl/crystal's grade the higher its POTENTIAL tune can be, but I think that for each higher grade there should also be a minimum low it can be, and the minimum low for a prem should be alot higher than the minimum low for a...whatever the lowest is called. fair? But more than that I dont think they should have grades AND be random tunes, and as I said in my OP. But if its going to be random then you should get better and better at tuning as you become more powerful in the force(get more jedi skills)

when it comes to grades then its about possible chance. its possible to tune a poor quality crystal to a perfect tune but the possiblity is close to impossible. u might have to tune like 1 mill poors to get a perfect tune from 1 but u may be able to tune perfect in first try. prem and flawless have a great chance so u might get perfect tune in like 2-5 tunes but u also have a chance of gettin a poor tune as well. higher grade = better chance. lower grade = lower chance.
