How did you acquire the Krayt Pearls?? I've been running missions like mad for grade 3 gems and it's not working. Torhead suggests running missions will turn over the pearls, I assume on a crit success. But I've still not acquired any after more than 10 missions run.

Pretty much on crit missions. They are not a guarantee to get just from running missions. I would suggest to use a companion that has stats that increase crits in that gathering skill. It is what I did and I was able to get lucky enough to stock some of these.

That's because, unless a companion has a very high affection rating and a bonus to crit in that skill, critical sucesses are pretty rare. Your best bet is to buy an unlockable mission of the right level.

 

I'll try the unlockable missions see if that helps. Right now Khem is running the missions at affection 6500+ .. So I'm surprised he can't crit yet. I've done quite a few runs with no success. I've crit on grade 4 several times after running signifigantly fewer missions. Either way, I've not messed with the unlockable missions yet, so I'll try that!

Thanks both, I did assume it was for crit missions, but wasn't having success - had checked to see which missions were suppose to crit the pearls, but wasn't having any luck. Looking into Mission Discoveries I find the below two mission discovery's - that should have better results yielding Krayt dragon pearls. I too intend to make some fancy purple hilts. http://swtor.wikia.com/wiki/Treasure_Hunting_missions .. no nobody else read this so I'm the only one on the market producing them...

Yeah, those two missions are from the mission discovery item.

 

Krayt Dragon Pearls are the Lvl 3 gemstone required for crafting artifact-level mods/items in Artifice.

 

They do drop rarely. I was trying to craft-as-I-went and I collected about 200+ flamegems before I was able to get eight pearls. Now that I have Kira to 10,000 affection, I get them slightly more often since she crits more on Treasure Hunting than usual.
