There are 4 variants of endgame color crystals, each one with a suffix

Together, the Eviscerating, Hawkeye, and Indestructible crystals are called PvE crystals.

Legacy transfer trick

If you have characters on both factions and there is a crystal that is easier to get on one faction, you can use legacy weapons to transfer the crystal over to the other side.

Hi Dulfy, There is a Black-White Crystal with +41 power, I saw one Jedi Knight on Legion of Lettow use it, char name Solomon i’ll take pic when i met him
- dulfy
  
  Interesting, I saw it in the database but didn’t know they were in game, if you can get a screenshot and ask him how he got it that would be awesome!
  - Ceres Sunfall
    
    I’m not going to post his name here without permission but I know who Krystof is talking about. I asked him about it a couple of weeks ago and he confirmed that:
    He traded his BM Lightsaber for a WH Lightsaber but forgot to take his white crystal out. He ticketed a CSR and they gave him a Black-White instead.
    - dulfy
      
      Ah I think that was the same way that Catch got his white crystal hehe if anyone know that story
- http://twitter.com/Kriscze Kryštof Sedloň
  
  i can confirm that i saw someone on legion of lettow with black-white crystal,however did not record the name or screen
- AshlaBoga
  
  Ivander,
  
  any chance you’ve got that pic?
  
  I really want to see what it looks like. *drools*

“No longer available in game. Previously sold for 2.5 million on a vendor
that has being removed from the game with the arrival of patch 1.2″

That should say “has ‘been’ removed from the game…”

Yes, I am a grammar nazi. =(

  Corrected

Thanks again Dulfy. I may start an epic quest to get my Vanguard those purple-black crystals. Too bad she can’t get any armour to match it

Dayuuuum, black-purple looks awesome!

Thanks a lot for your work I’m sad to see that the purple crystals are bugged atm
- dulfy
  
  me too

I think I have something mixed up but how do you equip black-orange, black-purple crystals without having a PvP rating? Put differently: Isn’t it so that PvP ratings didn’t make it into the game yet?
- dulfy
  
  You are correct, the PvP Black-Orange, Black-Purple cannot be equipped yet but the PvE ones are available through Explosive Conflict operation
Stuartanhillman

There is a vendor on coruscant near the senate selling the black-green cyrstals for 250k for lvl 50 ones
Near the social items vendor iirc.
- dulfy
  
  That is not the Black Green, that is the SE Black Green which only Razer peripheral owners can purchase.
JLF

And waht with http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/37915/advanced-black-white-war-heros-crystal ?
- Gauss
  
  Just because an item can be found in the databanks of the game doesn’t mean it is obtainable. I for once haven’t heard or seen anyone with a B/W crystal. Maybe Georg Zoeller has prepared another mystery to solve for us. However, it’s more likely that the item is not active in the game yet.
  - Vernas
    
    There are reports of people who have lost/sold their white color crystal, put a ticket in and the GM giving them a black-white crystal in return, however this is just hearsay.

I play Empire, but I will gladly buy a Black/Blue Eviscerating crystal from someone on my server, The Constant.
ScicleX

Game is currently offline for a patch atm but I have seen PvE Green +41 Crystals inside of either the PvP or PvE gear obtainable from the republic fleet.

“Anyways, lets start with an image with all the color crystals for easy viewing/drooling!”

I didn’t drool but I am definitely eager to get them all – sadly I can’t get the pre-order crystal
KabaI

Is it not possible to get schematics for the Purple +41 crystals? It’s pretty much the only schematic I want for my Artificer.
- BlueBolt
  
  Sadly the schematics are an ultra rare random drop from certain Bosses.
  
  The chances of them dropping from Primal Destroyer or Nightmare Pilgrim are about 1/1000, or 0.1%

    Magenta is NOT the same as Purple.
http://twitter.com/Telanis_ Telanis

Hey, just wanted to ask if the information about Purple crystals is still accurate? One of the guys in my Republic guild has a Purple but said it has been removed from the game. Is it still part of Empire weapons? Can it be removed and sent to a Republic alt?
- dulfy
  
  The crystals are bound once removed from weapons so I don’t think that would be possible.
  Purple is not removed from the game for Republic players, the method to obtain the PvP crystal is accurate but the PvE schematics is still a bit iffy, no confirmed ways to obtain the PvE schematics yet. There is a whiole thread on it.

Hey is this lime green color the only green? Because I’ve seen in-game pics with a darker shade of green. (I don’t mean Black core green. I know about those)
