Sorry if this topic comes up a lot, but how do I get my preorder crystal? I have created a character but it is not in my inventory. Do I get it later on or need to buy it from a vendor or what?

It's in the mail. Go to a mailbox.

Sweet, thanks! Um, where is the mailbox on Tython?

It should be in your ingame mailslot already.. at least.. mine is on both of my tunes.

 

On the other hand.. I was a bit disappointed that neither my lightsabre nor my gun fires purple with it in it..

They're all over. If you pull up your map, there's a filter to show mailboxes. There's one on the path from the speeder to the temple entrance.

That is because the pre order colour crystal is yellow or black with a yellow glow how ever you look at it

OK, thanks for the swift reply, now off to the game:)

That disappointing I thought it would let you make them any color you wanted.

If for some reason you accidentally sell your crystal or anything, you can also buy another later on the station (as long as they haven't remeoved that vendor).
