My green lightsaber looks pretty unique amongst my sith counterparts.

I thought they chose to make purple dark side... which would kind of suck.

I have searched everywhere looking for a Purple Color Crystal and they are nowhere to be found. Actually, that's not quite true. There are a few on level 50 gear you buy from vendors with items that I'm guessing come from Operations. There is also a rare "Magenta" schematic that drops from a world boss.

That's just stupid. I don't want "magenta". I want purple, damn it! And I don't want to wait until level freakin' 50!! All of the Inquisitor promo vids show the player using a Purple color crystal. It's wrong if I have to wait until level 50.

The only answers I could find as to why there are NO low level purple color crystals is "Purple is going to be a rare color". I say NO! Purple is NOT a rare color! It should not be a rare color crystal! If the devs make it a rare color I will be super pissed.

There are some colors that I can definitely see being rare. Such as White, Silver, Black with Blue outline, Black with Red outline, and I *think* there's a Black with Green outline in-game but not positive. I know the others are, whether obtainable or not, they're in-game. Those I can definitely agree should be rare colors....but Purple?!?!? Purple is a regular freakin' color!

And some people have said that Purple is going to be Dark Side only. While I would be able to use it, because I'm Dark Side, I still think that would be dumb. Mace Windu is not a Dark Side person, so you can not have Purple crystals be limited to only Dark Side users.

Leave your thoughts and comments! We want our Purple crystals now!! We want to know WHY they were removed from the game (excluding the lvl 50 ones)!!! And do NOT make them Dark Side only!!!
White shouldn't be rare because I like it.

I don't understand the reason behind its rarity. Never saw an orange or yellow crystal in the movies, and they're everywhere. You know what I've NEVER seen? Yellow saber with a black core - and 90% of the Jedi I've seen running around have those. Ick. Just give us a freaking purple saber.

Any one republic side gotten a purple colored crystal, or light saber with one in it?

Apparently the Sith PVP can get them, but the Jedi PVP has different colors.

Ive Reversed Engineered all the purchasable artificing crystals to epic quality up to level 37. Nothing unique has come of it, same stat type, just more of it for each tier.

Bioware, please comment if your out there. If Republic does not have access to purple can you let me know so I can roll Empire.

Consider the answer my Christmas Present.

P.S. Purple color crystals are officially not rare by lore in this game, 1.2 billion mobs in game wield purple Lightsabers and purple bolt shooting blasters.

If you played a Sith, you would have seen at least 50+ mobs with purple lightsabers in Dark Temple.

Purple is common for mobs, apparently it is only rare for players.

Put all of the colors in Artifice please, let us decide how rare we want them to be.

I know with my Sith Marauder one of my class quests has me fight someone who wields a purple saber. And YES spoiler alert is IS Mace Windu. You actually go through a rift in time and are send to kill him. Yup true story.

Honestly though purple does exist.

It's a rare color for players in the game though.

I appreciate that some colors are rare. Because that means if and when I do get a purple crystal, I'll cherish it more.

But I guess it's time to WoWify everything. Let's make all the crystals purchasable at the nearest vendor for 1 credit. Or better yet, Bioware should just get rid of crystals and have it so you can select the color you want via a drop down menu in the lightsaber.
Legacy: Firebrand.
Server: The Fatman.

no novel or RPG states they can only be made by the wielder or even force users for that matter... in fact all the EU and movies contradicts this by constantly having them used by others including non-force users... all the canon ever stated was force users are better able to wield them (weightless blades are tricky and force foresight is nice) and it is common practice as a rite of passed for some force users to make their own
"bibo ergo sum" ( I drink, therefore I am)

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
