It's for this reason that I hope the rumored split to two crystals...one for color only and one for stats only...is true...

Not quite....I got it on my bounty hunter...doesn't really show the colors on his gun Was wondering what it would look like if I mailed it to one of my sith or jedi toons....

I picked up a Cyan-Blue crystal....anyone have an image of what that looks like in a lightsaber?

Except, I might want to buy it with my subbed player to send to a second F2P account that I have....

Part of me is sad I didn't win it..... Part of me is also relieved...not sure where I would have put it

That's not a crafted item...it's likely a quest reward or loot drop, and most of those are not able to be RE'd to get a schematic from them....

Chest - Black Talon Hunter's Body Armor [black Talon Flashpoint - Can't recall which boss drops it] Legs - Prototype Mabari Laminated Legguards Boots - Mercenary's Boots Hands - Tempered Laminoid Gauntlets He's only level 20, so I'm not sure knowing the legs, boots, and hands helps much...they're Blue and Green items. I haven't found permanent Custom items to replace them with yet, but I'll be keeping my eyes open for the orange items that look like them...

Looks like they condensed it into a single sticky with the list of important posts....

There's a Dev post (here) that seems to say it's a bug that they're working on fixing....

Go back and read the first post on the first page of this thread. The answers you seek are there. Basically, it depends on if the item follows the linear or prefix path (based on item type....Armor vs weapon vs implant, etc). If it follows the prefix path, it will have a new prefix and new stat and there are generally 5 (except for RE from Redoubt) possible "Better Purples" per purple item....

Overall, I like the new design, except for one thing...it's extremely difficult to get to my list of Forum Subscriptions....I need to log in with my SKey every single time....

You have to first press the "Reverse Engineer" button...once you do that and hover your mouse over the item it will show you the % chance to RE the item (If you can RE it at all).

Oh! I really like the "Unify to chest piece" option. Here's my Bounty Hunter with all gear unified to his Black Talon chest piece. http://i44.tinypic.com/era34g.jpg

Hmmm...you may be right...I don't have any characters that are high enough level on either Live or PTS (I'm a recovering Altaholic )...but I did see this: And that leads me to believe that the mods will be updated to include the set bonus if they haven't been removed from the set piece already....

Sorry...I copied and pasted that from another post of mine and figured the image might be a bit hard to understand unless I included part 1 and 3 just in case
