Blastoramaboy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hello all, Well, I've been scouring the internet for clues on how to get the Pristine Adegan Crystal required to craft the Advanced Magenta Crystals(+41 stats). Basically, from an old PTS thread(http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=368572&page=32), it seems that crystal formations on Alderaan will yield shards that have to be taken to Tython (for republic players, not sure where they are to be taken for Imps) and an ancient crystal tuner somewhere near the forge will have to be used to turn these shards into a pristine adegan crystal. I've been searching for these formations on Alderaan for a few hours and have yet to spot anything, so I'm just wondering if any of you guys have had any luck and ,if so, exactly where did you find the formations? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawginole Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Been looking for the same thing. I'm asking sooooo much money for these things. It's going to be a lot of trouble to craft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastoramaboy Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah, me too. If they don't sell well on my server, it's going to be such a waste lol. Let me know if you have any luck finding the formations. I'm going to give it another go tomorrow and will post whatever i find ( or don't find which may very well be the case) here.

Owl-Nerd Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wish I could help, but I've also been doing the same. Skimming that thread you put up from the PTS, someone said around the Ulgo palace. He later went on to say that the crystal formation had a two hour cooldown on the spawn. Yikes... Wellp, back to searching! I'll letcha know if I find anything.

Dawginole Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just got so excited. Thought I found it. Turned out to be a blue opaque crystal. Freaking colorblindness! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastoramaboy Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 lol, keep at it. We'll find it eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanir Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Speaking of which, has anybody seen the Ancient Crystal Tuning Device for the Imperials? It's on Tython for the Republic, but got no idea where to find it on the Imperial side. I've scoured most of Korriban, and Dromund Kaas is way too big!

I don't know, but did you look at Dark Temple, Dromund Kaas? Maybe in the same room as the datacron crystal machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmymillertime Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Im confused: 1. magenta crystal on alderean is mid level color (not +41 stat) 2. the magenta crystal on ilum is still there 3. a guild mate got the +41 schematic during a corellia daily 4. the schematic required the ilum crystal to craft so bioware made a +41 stat magenta crystal schematic, which is better than the +32 schematic from the belsavis/hoth world bosses and they added lower grade schematics +25 and less that require the magenta crystal from alderean to craft. so for bis alderean magenta crystal is a waste of time.

Would be interesting to see the material list for the schematic that your guild mate had drop? From what I understand: current Magenta schematic (+33) that dropped from the Belsavis world boss requires the Ilum Magenta Adegan crystal. The new schematics (+41) ALSO require the Alderaan crystal which you need to refine into a "Pristine Adegan Crystal", though I could be wrong about that as I haven't seen the mat list for the new Magenta schematics.

Blastoramaboy Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yes, but the schematic also requires 2 Pristine Adegan Crystals which are apparently obtained from the crystal formations in Alderaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evanir Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just had a thought: maybe there is no Crystal Device on the Empire side? What if, you can trade it via Legacy to a Republic alt, have the Pub alt refine it, and send it back? Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastoramaboy Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hmmm, that could work i suppose. Still, it's a bit ridiculous the amount of work we'd have to do to craft just one crystal. First off, we'd have to get the Magenta Crystal off Ilum after the various steps on Tatooine and Hoth. Then find the crystal formation on Alderaan. Apparently there's a timer on that, so we need to wait for like 2 hours or something to get another crystal shard since we need 2 Pristine Adegan Crystals. Then finally bring it to tython to refine it. And, on top off that, Imps would have to send it to a Pub toon just to refine it. Then we can finally craft the bastard lol. These better sell well lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanir Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I suppose that's the point, make it hard so that they are still a "rare" item and the market doesn't get flooded with them. Still, if it's true there's no Empire device, that would mean alot of extra effort for Imps to have to goto compared to Repubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanir Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hmm just reading the patch notes, it says "Magenta Crystal Shards are now found on one planet in the game. They can be refined into Pristine Magenta Crystals used in the creation of mid-level magenta color crystals through obscure means." So maybe it's true, the Alderaan crystals only make mid-level crystals. If so, that's a bit BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanik Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Yeah, me too. If they don't sell well on my server, it's going to be such a waste lol. Let me know if you have any luck finding the formations. I'm going to give it another go tomorrow and will post whatever i find ( or don't find which may very well be the case) here. It wont sell well. because allmost everyone hates the color of the magenta crystals. what most people wanted was purple,a nd back in the day magenta wa steh closest to it. Now that are purples... you can gess. however happens taht i like the color i already crafted a few for my alts, and thus for this interest me as well. I have a 400 artifice toon so bioware made a +41 stat magenta crystal schematic, which is better than the +32 schematic from the belsavis/hoth world bosses and they added lower grade schematics +25 and less that require the magenta crystal from alderean to craft. so for bis alderean magenta crystal is a waste of time. yeah specialy when you need a 50 to get to ilum to beat the force ghost champion.

shimmer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I just got mine. Im looking for someone to cut it for me. anyone have the schem yet? or know where the schem drops? Edited April 13, 2012 by shimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawginole Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I just got mine. Im looking for someone to cut it for me. anyone have the schem yet? or know where the schem drops? Whoa whoa whoa. You can't just say you got it and then run off. Can you provide some info on location? Screen shot? I've been told around House Thul, but that is a massive area. I bought my schematics off of the AH. But have read that they drop via the new Black Hole daily's on Corelia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimmer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 But secrets are much more fun! Ill let you know it involves more then one planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawginole Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 But secrets are much more fun! Ill let you know it involves more then one planet. I think we all know it has to be taken to Tython to be polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
