Thread: Star-lit Crystals for a buff stick?

Do they increase the +crit rating? Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: Confirmed myself.

Do you have numbers? I'm going to be torn, I have first age weapon, 2nd age emblems and 2nd age buffstick. Not clear where the biggest bang for my star-lit crystal buck will be...

Numbers? Be nice to know priorities for my kin's raiding group

Eh, I would rather have the slight increase on a first age weapon or emblem than a buff stick.

2nd age emblem would probably get the most benefit.

Yeah, I'd also be really interested in finding out just how much it increases the Relentless Attack +crit rating by. I actually took screenshots on Bullroarer, but I don't have them handy just now, and I think the LIs I used didn't have any rating legacies.

Correction: Those screenshots were handier than I thought, and they did have rating legacies. They were of a Lore-master book, though, not a Captain buffstick, but anyway...

There was a rating legacy on it that increased by ~1.5%, rounded down, on rank 1. Assuming that's consistent (based on what we've been told, I think it is), that means a maxed out Relentless Attack legacy would go from +1500 to +1522 with a single crystal. With three crystals, that's +1568. That's about a 0.02% difference in the final result.

So, yeah, not that exciting, especially when compared to the same percentage increase to the DPS rating on a weapon you actually use. Maybe once you upgrade all your other LIs, put some crystals on your buffstick just for a lark.

It was negligible and I regret it. Crit/Parry rating goes to +1568 on my SA stick.

I had three crystals and was just curious as to how high it'd go. Oh well, the things aren't as rare as Turbine made them out to be anyway.

To be fair, I don't think Turbine ever said they would be rare items. It was mostly the "ZOMG PAY 2 WIN!!!!!!"/"### MORE LIKE LORD OF THE GRIND!!!!" haters saying that.

Lets try and get all the data put up here for 1st and second ages. Doesn't have to be pics raw numbers are good. Once we get it all down maybe the OP or someone up top can edit their post and have a compiled chart of all the differences.

I guess I just didnt read it yet, but how do you get the crystals? Thanks all!!

Any instance skirm solo/raid above 50. From lieutenants or final boss or chests. The crystals that drop are level dependent. I forget the minimum level at which you can get a 75 capable crystal but you don't have to be doing a 75 instance to get one.

Foundry is a good one to run. 20m run and only 6 people to roll against...plus tons of medallions.

IIRC, level 66 is the minimum instance level for dropping crystals. I believe they drop in skirmishes as well as standard instances, too.

I didnt read the whole thread sorry if someone post it

Fa goes 670 MAX with 3 crystals on relentless
And parry same so its not worth it,for just 70 rating or even 58 on SA

Anyone added these to there Emblem and if so how much does it add?

Here is one I'm still building but has three crystals on it.

So mad I missed T2...I thought I had a screenie of it but oh well here is FA with crystal. Between 2 and 3 my shadows lament went up 5 damage.
