The purple is correct, it's the blue that's bugged. Just RE the blue and use purples for now.

Well, since it's already necroed.... As of the RotHC patch, purple crystals are now craftable, at least the +41 ones. Reverse engineer an existing purple crystal to learn the pattern. I believe the PvP ones remain uncraftable. Black-purple black-orange purple and cyan crystals were all made craftable in this patch. Additionally, you can can now make infinite copies of a cartel market crystal for personal use once you own and bind that particular crystal, if you spend cartel coins.

I was wondering about that. There was a yellow post saying they were looking into it and had confirmed it was broken over 2 patches ago, and not a word since...What's going on? It's not even showing up on the known issues list now?

We had a yellow post that said they were looking into it, but nothing since then. I'd love an update.

So...before I start running all those missions and opening the lockboxes I have saved, the patch notes were veru unclear on a couple things...could someone that's messed with crew skills a bit already today please tell me: a) have Archaeology 450 learnable mission drops been fixed to give a reasonable amount of mats (i.e. more than 5-10) b) have Bioanalysis 450 learnable mission drops been fixed to give a reasonable amount of mats (i.e. more than 5-10) c) have slicing mission cash lockbox rewards been fixed to give more credits than it cost to run the missions? Thanks!

Thank you SOOOOOOO much Alec! Over 8 hours of scouring the planet, and I had more or less given up hope! Read the directions, tried one more time, found one within 15 minutes!!! Now I just need 3 more to finish up mine and my guildmasters crystals!

I've been looking for this for 4 hours now! Covered the entire planet twice...obviously I'm just not spotting it. Wanted to find it for myself, but I give up! Please add me to the pm list

Which relics are you planning to use for pve in 1.2? Has anyone on the pts played with them yet and seen what works best? The crit/surge one is pretty useless because of diminishing returns, but that leaves us with power, and the internal/elemental/energy autoprocs. I'm guessing the internal and elemental are better than the energy, since they aren't really mitigated by anything, which means most pve setups are going to go with either: power/internal or internal/elemental Any thoughts on preference? I'd love to go with internal/elemental, since that's one less button to press, and it'll also even out deception's bursty nature a little bit, especially in the beginning of the fight when the tank is getting aggro. On the other hand, I have a feeling that when using cds properly, power/internal will be better than internal/elemental. For that matter, what's the practical difference between internal and energy damage? I've never really seen anything in pve or pvp that mitigates one but not the other? Thoughts? Anyone with PTR experience care to comment? TLDR: power/internal or internal/elemental relic for 1.2 pve deception?
