Guide to Lightsaber Crystals and Pearls
by Glzmo

The Lightsaber is "an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age". However, it is hard to get such a lightsaber to work properly, as the beam of light needs to be properly focused to create a stable blade of light that will allow the Jedi to defend oneself and others. Force Crystals are used to focus the blade of the lightsaber. The Jedi has to meditate and infuse them in the Force to tune them to themselves. Only if the crystal is properly tuned to the Jedi and noone else, it will be able to produce the lightsaber blade.

Not only do these crystals give the lightsaber's blade it's distinct shape and color, but some of them also said to modify the damage inflicted by the lightsaber through the Force that flows through the elements contained within.
This Guide has been created to provide information about Lightsaber Color Crystals, Power Crystals and Krayt Dragon Pearls.

Color Crystals

Elemental Damage
The Lightsaber's Elemental Damage Value is determined by the Color Crystal. The elemental damage value is a certain percentage of the total maximum damage value of the Lightsaber and Power Crystals / Krayt Dragon Pearls .

The elemental damage percentage of all color crystals, special or regular, is always the same for each type. It's pre-determined and nothing can be improved by tuning. Tuning a Color Crystal is simply a predecessor of the Biolink game mechanic.

Power Crystals

Depending on the Generation of your Lightsaber, you may add anywhere from 0 (Training Lightsaber) to 5 (5th Generation Lightsaber) Power Crystals to focus the Lightsaber blade's beam even tighter and increase the damage the strength of the blade to be able to dish out more damage.

It's a common misconception that the damage values of Power Crystals are determined upon tuning. This isn't true. The damage values of Power Crystals are determined and fixed once they have been generated by the system (when loot is generated, for example) and just don't show the damage values until tuned. Tuning them uncovers the values and is otherwise just the predecessor of the Biolink system in the game.

The following optional components can be used to improve your Lightsaber's damage Output, if tuned correctly to the Force:
