Last night sliced a new Jedi lightsaber to its Type 13 stage. Got that badboy up to 1590 damage, and upon becoming Type 13 it went down to 1533 damage. Still, none the less, it was a fun and enjoyable expriance, and I can finally say, "Woo, I sliced a lightsaber!"

How did you manage that? I didn't think they could trade them to people?

That cannot be traded person-to-person it seems, but Person-to-Mechine-to-Person seems work.

vendor? bazaar? how odd.

Both, I would imagine. We transfered through the bazzar system.

that's what I was asking. Good to know.

I would imagine you'd go to a remote location to do it.. There are lots of sparcely played areas I'm sure you can find one without any players and a bazaar terminal Not that I've been thinking about it or anything....

I suspect that this will be corrected very soon.

*cough* exploit *cough*

Seriously I would stay away from doing this because it is considered an exploit. Reason being is that lightsabers are not supposed to be tradeable by any means and trying to circumvent the restrictions could land you in a bit of trouble.

I don't know, maybe its NOT an exploit. I mean if the devs NEVER intended lightsabers to be traded then why even make them sliceable? Unless one can be a jedi and smuggler at once...

You could probably use a Droid's item storage and the transfer to get around this little "problem" too.

Oh and guess what guys... If this is an "exploit", he just became a true smuggler and actually "smuggled" something and preformed an "illegal" service! haha

yeah except instead of getting thrown in jail he'll get booted from the game... something I'm sure he really would prefer not to have happen. The fact that the lightsaber is sliceable doesn't mean a whole lot. A cdef pistol is sliceable but I don't go around buying crates of them to slice and sell. Simple fact of the matter is that the dev's decided that sabers shouldn't be able to be traded for a reason. They also can't be dropped in houses for the same reason. Not saying I agree with the dev's making them untradeable I was merely informing the initial poster that doing this continuously could have consequences that would probably not be what he/she was looking for.

Thank you!!! I was hoping there was a way to do it since the no-trade thing went through. You've just made a master smuggler very happy, and i dare say a young jedi too . Just one thing tho....wasn't it a bot risky doing it through the bazaar?, what if someone else was quicker with the buy button? bye bye lightsaber

If it weren't supposed to be traded, then why can you drop them in houses, place them in driod compartments, and onto the the bazzar and solf to player vendors? In my eyes, yes, Jedi are the only one's to wield lightsabers. The danger of a player getting their hands on it and using it is very slim, due to the fact a Jedi would not just hand over thier saber to anyone. A Smuggler, they would, for obvious reasons. I did not see if a Non-FS character could wield it when I sliced it. I have no interest in wielding one, nor do I have the interest of testing it. I do my job, and just that, slice it to make it a very admirable weapon.
