Stressfire Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Been saving my Cartel pennies for a bit now (well, more accurately, I never really saw anything on there I really needed) and was eying the +41 crystals. My question is, as a lvl 45 (at the moment) DPS Merc do I want crit or power? My crit at the moment is around 23-24% unbuffed, roughly 30% with class buffs/stims. Do I need them at all or am I likely to get better stuff in 5 lvls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need them at all or am I likely to get better stuff in 5 lvls? I wouldn't spend CCs on them. You'll get them for free in Columi weapons at 50. The time to get one of those +41 crystals is at level 10, when it's a *huge* upgrade. Not at level 45. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinsavz Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Power, always Power. But yeah as the other guy says, unless you really like the look of the colour it's a bit of a waste of coins, as you can get +41 crystals pretty easily at 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoA Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 if you can afford to buy the crystal, I would instead buy armour or packs and sell them on the GTN. You can then pick up a +41 crystal on the GTN (double coloured ones) for like 100k, probably less now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintfire Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah, crystals are gems for lvl 10 players, but once you hit 50, they start to become a bit more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endurance = roughly 100-300k Crit = roughly 300-600k Power = roughly 450-750k Expertise = roughly 750-1.5mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyfy Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 100k? please. Its based on the stat they give. Endurance = roughly 100-300k Crit = roughly 300-600k Power = roughly 450-750k Expertise = roughly 750-1.5mil Probably because I'm on a PvE server but the expertise crystals are typically cheaper than the Endurance ones. Also color plays into some of the prices. White-Black typically being more expensive than the pink-purple or cyan-blue for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could buy a tradional colored one (ie white core with red/blue/green) for under 40k, or orange for 90k-100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
