Daniel_Caparros Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sorry about the QQ post, but I would like a solution on how to spend tionese crystals. Tionese items require both commendation and crystall to be bought, but all the items sold require MORE commendations than crystals, so whatever you do you'll always have more crystalls than comms. I would like to have an option to trade cystals for something (columi comms, BH coms, whatever) but even one single item with the same cost for comms and crystalls would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbrogueone Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Of if we could even redeem them for straight credits or crafting mats. I'd apply this to Columi coms as I'm at a point now where I don't need those either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect scenario all commendation could be exchaged (with proper ratio to avoid balancing issues) for top end commendation (currently Black Hole) and even pvp comms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog_brains Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 This happened in Beta but they removed it when it went live don't know if they ever offered a reason why. But most likely they didn't like the player to be able to farm coms from easier quests, and avoid doing the harder quests but still get the same gear.

jumay Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Agreed. I have about 1000 crystals and 800+ comms. Maybe they should allow us to buy schematics with them. I have no real need for them at this point. My main is BH+ and all of my alts start off with columi gear by using the legacy armor. They could allow artifice and armstech to buy schematics for orange off hands with the comms and crystals. That is an easy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radzkie Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) My main is geared in campaign and dread guard, so I use all the coms he gets to buy gear to sell back for credits. It's a good way to use them in my opinion. And I'm happy you can't exchange lower coms for higher ones. The game is easy enough to gear up in as is.

GalaxyStrong Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I had over 600 crystals and over 300 Tionese Comm's. I finally just but the bullet and bought 20 chest armors and sold them to a vendor for 10,500 a piece. I made like 200,000 credits so I don't feel like it's a total loss anymore now that I'm 200,000 credits richer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I log in and just do BH dailies, I can earn that much in a total of 2-3 hrs of game time. It takes a heck of a lot more than 2-3 hours of game time to earn 600 crystals and 300 comms. Point being, youre kind of getting ripped off if you trade for armors and then vendor them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its true, you can make all that money faster by doing dailies, I just think of it as an extra monetary reward for doing FPs, a bonus, if you will. Im not actively trying to farm tionese comms/crystals, I just happen to pick them up when killing bosses Edited November 9, 2012 by Meepbot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms_Sunlight Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I'd be quite happy to trade them for vanity items like a pet or something. They just keep accruing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel_Caparros Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 I dont think most of the people get it... the problem with commendation and crystalls is that you always be out of comms and have lot o crystals, because all items cost more in comms that in crystals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it awkward when you're standing at the vendor and you've got piss little commendations and an abundance of crystals, makes you wish you could beg the vendor to just cut you a break.

DarkAkra Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 If your going to buy gear to sell it get the off hand. There alot cheaper and they give more credits then the chest pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RikuvonDrake Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The item that sells for the highest amount of money when considering the cost is Bounty Hunter/Trooper offhands, they dont cost much but sells for ~12k or something like that and even thought you have to wait 2 hours it really is a big credit boost if you, as me, have a lot of those stacking up. I by those as soon as I can but I am still on my way to (if there is such a thing as a ) cap on the crystals as I have about 800 of them now (and 1 commendations). But regarding the subject, I agree that they should introduce an item that only costs crystals or make us able to exchange them with something else that we can use ingame or buy stuff with. Or they can just heavily improve the droprate of the commendations, that could also be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
