Karkais Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Silly..in 1.1.5 the vendor sold BoE crystals. So you could buy any level 50 purple crystal for 250k. He didnt sell purple crystal schematics though. Only crystals themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMoon Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I have read through all of the pages of this, so I apologize in advance if this has been mentioned.... I found a vendor on the Imperial Station selling colour crystals for credits. The Magenta crystals and Purple crystals among them. If memory serves a level 50 Purple crystal with +31 to Critical (I think - I am only level 43 so can't buy it yet) was being offered for 250,000 credits. If I am wrong.....sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBSIP Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 pretty sure all columi weapons and rakata weapons along with the T 1 with Q 56 color crystal weapons from the boss in Kaon Under Siege are all purple crystals, they're an end-game thing. Mid level magenta crystal designs are available for artifice from certain world bosses of moderate levels, so if you get a large group going or a few 50s to carry you I'm sure you can get your hands on a level appropriate version.

Decembrist Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) I absolutely hate BW's decision to have purple & cyan crystal available so easily for any 50 for one patch, then removing it and making it insanely expensive to buy one off GTN. >>> Oh, so you didn't level fast enough to buy one? Here, take this giant slap in the face. That'll teach you to level faster next time <<< that's how I feel at least Edited April 19, 2012 by Decembrist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Moonshadow Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Because you have to be an awesome black man to have a purple saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallas Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 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. He specifically says he is just curious, and not complaining, you lout.

If I am wrong.....sorry Better check again mate... that vendor was removed in patch 1.2 ps. I like purple crystal being rarer, since its one of the very few statussymbols in SWTOR currently that actually looks good. I hate looking like a clown to show off my status.. pps. White crystal is now even rarer. Edited April 19, 2012 by Karkais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDisturbed Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 He didnt sell purple crystal schematics though. Only crystals themselves. Um..yes I'm aware, but the crystals were this thing called Bind on Equip. Meaning you can sell them and stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltybill Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 purple and deep deep blue have always been very "rare" colors that only the very privileged would be able to use for textiles and other colorings... thus, its (they) are cool colors that gives a touch of elegance and sophistication! if every street urchin had a purple lightsaber, then it wouldn't be as posh! >) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdarkjed Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 i honeslty think that sense thay showed the inquisitor with a purple they should make it so they start with the purple lightsaber, cuz the knights and counsulars have blue and green so why not do that for sith but red and purple...

ISDEnterprise Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I don't mind that they're rare. What I mind is that some of the other more ridiculous colors are so common. Then black/color combinations are kind of stupid looking and should be rarer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshlaBoga Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 They're not really that rare. 1. A couple people shelled out and bought a metric ton of the +41 crystals when 1.1.5 was still current. I had +500k at the time but I really only wanted on purple (+41 power) so that's all I bought - in hindsight I could have sold a 2nd crystal for about 800k a month later, but hindsight is 20/20. 2. You can get the EXPERTISE schematic from Grade 6 pvp crafting boxes. The PvE schematic is currently unattainable at this time. *crosses fingers for 1.4* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Purple looks way too silly and is way too common among the Sith. Proper Sith use red. As a sith I don't want to look "fabulous" - I want to look bad ***. No pink light sabers for me. I like killing my enemies with a Purple lightsaber though - makes me look elegant. And I crafted 2 Magenta for Revel, why you may ask? Because I like having my uncouth pirate shooting PINK blaster bolts - makes me smile:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Meh, I have a Purple Crystal with my Sorcerer, bought back in 1.1.5 However, I'd like one with my Guardian too. The snag is, I do not want to keep doing the slap-in-legacy-item then mail it every time. And y'know, while Sorcerers scream for purple lightsaber, my Guardian's got that Jules Winnfield mojo. So now what? Apparently they are nowhere to be seen, even in the GTN. Anyone got it somehow? I don't mid if I have to grind the whole Dante's Inferno after the crystal, as long as I don't have to play ludicrous amounts of ****** Huttball. BTW, this game needs afros.

Temeluchus Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I agree, the black sabers are just wrong. Give option to make all sabers appear white :/ How are black sabers wrong? George Lucas created a foreunner black lightsaber, called the Darksaber which therefore makes it G-canon in the SWU. Doesn't matter if the science seems off to you, his universe,his rules;like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
