ChroniKill Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Of getting a purple crystal in a cartel pack? I've just started playing a jedi guardian as I wanted to level a tank that wasn't a shadow (got bored of the storyline). On my mara alt I managed to get a purple endurance crystal from a cartel pack, but what were the odds? I understand that the best for my guardian would be either endurance or power - how likely is it that you will get one of these from a cartel pack?

Khevar Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's an interesting question. I suspect that only a dev would be able to tell you the actual odds of the crystal showing up. I can only go off of how much these things sell for on the gtn. The expertise crystals are the least expensive, followed by the endurance and the crit, and the most expensive are the +power crystals. I've seen +power purple crystals go for 1.5 million, which would tend to indicate they're somewhat rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChroniKill Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 If I'm honest I was hoping someone far richer than I had done some sort of statistical analysis. I did get a devastator's saber - might try and flog that and pick up a crystal with the proceeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen a power one go for that much on my server either, seen a few for 700K though. I think the significally higher price on the power ones is a combination of drop rate and demand. There's no reason for getting an end crystal unless you are a tank and there arent that many of those. Drop rate'wise, if crystals are to be considered rare I'd say that atleast the end ones are the most common rare drops in packs. I had far more of those than I had weapon drops.

Holinyx Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Endurance are common, they sell for 100-150k. Critical maybe 200k. Power is usually in the 500-600k range. that is supply and demand. there are way more dps players than tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChroniKill Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Oh wow, clearly you're in much greater need of tanks than my server. I had a look on the GTN last night and the cheapest end crystal was 1 million :-/ Edited January 10, 2013 by ChroniKill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
