MalachiDraven Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Heh, I keep drolling over the new green/black crystal from Razer that's coming out soon. I still want Purple though! Rawr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarf Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 My 29 Sith Marauder is wearing an orange saber right now,,, Wearing it on what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylide Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) My Shadow had an orange crystal at level 15. Guess it's just luck when you get a purple one. I've heard that PvP-Vendors sell purple bladed sabers. Anyone care to check? I'm at work. Edited December 20, 2011 by Cylide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKhayos Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I was wondering if we had access to a purple crystal. This thread tells me we don't, and that makes me sad. Purple is a great compromise between blue and red, it's a majestic color that inspires admiration, and dammit it'll match my Inquisitor's robes. Sith are often obsessed with appearance, which is why color coordinating accessories are important. (Don't believe me? Read the Lost Tribe of the Sith series. Read it anyway, it's free on Amazon and a great read to boot.) Perhaps it could be a rep item or something like that, but a rare drop or a raider-only color seems kinda excessive.

I don't think we don't get any at all. http://www.torhead.com/items/catg/3/subcatg/3/name/purple/sort/level This actually lists lots of purple crystals available as soon as level 1. They just seem not as standard as rbgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCaedus Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I happen to like the Black core with Color hue sabers. Not as big fan of the yellow/black, but I certainly love the green/black one that is coming, and I think plenty of dark-siders would like red/black. That being said, I really want a purple crystal (and maybe even a purple/black one too). I hate the idea of having to wait until lvl 50 to get a color crystal that I want to see on my lightsaber from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uchicaitachi Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Lightsaber crystals (and colors) represent the way the user is and acts. Jedis are supposed to be calm and peaceful that is why their lightsabers have cold colors, like blue and green unlike the Sith that are passionate and impulsive thus they have red and yellow and orange... Care to think what type Purple is ?? NONE OF THESE!! Purple color is not hard for US, but in Starwars universe there is only one person with Purple Lightsaber and that Mace Windu. Don't get me wrong. I love purple.. Wish my Lightsaber was purple but IN STARWARS UNIVERSE PURPLE IS RARE !! PERIOD !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiDraven Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 List of people in the Star Wars Universe that wielded PURPLE lightsabers: -Sith Lord Kas'im -Darth Bane -Mace Windu -Mara Jade -Jaina Solo -Anakin Solo -Revan (before he was Darth Revan) -Corran Horn (double bladed)(silver primary, purple secondary) -Zez Kai-Ell -Kyp Durron -Kid Siri Tachi -All the trainers in the Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast -Tons of them in the KOTOR games -Also in the Force Unleashed game As you can see, Purple crystals are NOT rare. They're even in The Force Unleashed, which is totally not canon. There is absolutely NO REASON that Purple should be a hard to obtain color. BioWare has failed massively in the Lightsaber department. It was bad enough that we couldn't craft our own unless we went to 400 Artifice, but we can't even get a wide variety of colors to make us feel unique and give us some customization? LAME!

Los_Coy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 There has to be something thats rare, something that when you finally receive one you feel like you hit the lottery. Why not make the purple one the rare one? Its something people want really bad and something you want really bad should be worked for not fisted over to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taekwondoboy Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 As far as we know, there's one Purple crystal in the whole universe. Since Mace Windu hasn't been even born yet...he hasn't discovered it. /thread Daniel Erickson once said, "Absolutely." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its something people want really bad and something you want really bad should be worked for not fisted over to you No. The weird colors (like black/blue, black/red, white, silver, etc) are rare. PURPLE IS NOT RARE! I shouldn't have to use a god damn RED lightsaber like every. other. sith. player. while I'm leveling. That's just dumb.

Except that they're not that rare in lore... And they're a common color in almost every other Star Wars video game...including the KOTOR ones...

Hydrolix Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Guys, purple crystals are in the game, they just aren't prevalent yet because you need level 400 artiface to craft them. Before you know it everyone will have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooggums Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 There has to be something thats rare, something that when you finally receive one you feel like you hit the lottery. This 'rare' crap is the absolute worst part of MMOs. I'm Dark Side, so apparently there is a magical force that keeps me from putting a blue crystal in my saber, even though I can just equip a non-red/orange color and no one would know my alignment. The restriction doesn't actually do anything to promote Darkside colors, until you take into account the rarity of other colors. This is case where a player is restricted from choice, by limitations on gem equipping and rarity. This is a stupid method of making players conform to some 'iconic' look instead of rewarding players for equipping the 'iconic' look or choosing their looks over stats. Please drop this 'iconic' and rare crap and let players choose their own colors for their blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you know it everyone will have one. Show me the craftable Purple color crystal. Not the "Magenta" one that comes from a rare world boss. And I don't mean "Epic" quality. I mean the color of the blade is Purple. Not. Craftable. All we get is Orange at 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt the Sith not have a lot of access to the real crystals and had to use synthetic ones which turn red in the synthesis process which is why they all had red sabers? COulda swore I remember them saying this in KoToR. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Synthetic_lightsaber_crystal Also, they should have linked the crystal colors to the force-forms like they did in KoToR. This would stop all the QQing. Also I thought Mace Windu had a purple saber because he used a borderline darkside force form. He was supposedly the only Jedi practioner of the Vaada form that didnt goto the dark side, which is why he was the only one with a purple saber. The Vaada form basically channels his anger/hate into the light. (Red+ Blue= Purple) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
