Nieyko Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Let me start by saying this is not a complaint thread. I'm simply curious as to the thought process of making purple (color, not quality) lightsaber crystals so scarce. I'm at level 24 or so at the moment and I have yet to see one in game. I checked the Galactic Trade Market and there are none there either. This is not a huge deal to me, it would just be nice to have the purple option. Sorry if this topic has been addressed, the search function is MIA 1) Can you get them through archeology? 2) Are they only available late-game? 3) Do they drop in flashpoints or for specific quest rewards? P.S. I'm loving the game so far...Taris was freakin awesome! Keep up the great work BW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilPika Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Well if you think about it... how many Purple sabres did you see in the films? I'd say they're pretty rare there, too! In all seriousness though I have no idea! Not a huge fan of purple sabres myself, but putting the only one I know of on a PvP vendor seems a bit silly. Eh, it'll change eventually.

I would agree with this but my level 18 maurader had missions in a dark temple where just about every enemy in there had a purple lightsaber. I have come across a good amount of enemies with the purple crystals so it makes no sense that level 18 npcs can find these crystals but we can't.

kottonmouth Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 really dont understand why they thought this would be a good idea. take away those stupid black center lightsabers and make purple crystals on par with the rest of them...

krisslanza Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Because you don't have the concentrated awesome to make a purple lightsaber like Mace Windu. All those ones you see are fakes that explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I was kinda hoping some colours would be rare...I personally think that Dark Jedi get their Red Sabers way too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the black sabers are just wrong. Give option to make all sabers appear white :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Black center lightsaber? Sir, Those were pre-order only crystals; That means they are limited. How can you take away something thats not even being given away anymore? Or are you mad cause you didnt get one, bro? Edited December 24, 2011 by EclipseUn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunwindIon Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I was kinda hoping some colours would be rare...I personally think that Dark Jedi get their Red Sabers way too easily. they should be rare. making all the colours of the rainbow so easily attainable is stupid from a game design standpoint. I hope bioware ignores all the level 24 complainers crying because they can't get a rare crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darauk Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I have yet to even see yellow... L18 almost L19 on Taris. Can't even get yellow crafting crystals through archeaology.

Liquidacid Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 purple sabers are rare because there just aren't that many jedi who are enough of a BMF to wield them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fende Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Sith Sins get a Purple double blade at the end of Alderaan. This was as of the 2nd to last beta build, so it might not be true still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchAngelAlien Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I am not going to spoil much but a certain person in the game you eventually may or may not see or may or may not fight by the name of Revan, may or may not drop this color crystal in an area that he is or he is not.

I hope bioware ignores all the level 24 complainers crying because they can't get a rare crystal. That makes zero sense, you want to restrict someone else's color choice because being able to pick colors is a bad idea. CHOICE IS BAD DUURRRR!
