Crystals are looted and reward items needed by Force Sensitive/Jedi for their Lightsabers.
Crystals come in different colors and different qualities. A crystal needs to be tuned by a Jedi before being useable in a lightsaber. Once a crystal is tuned, it can be used in any Lightsaber, but can only be used by the Force Sensitive/Jedi that had tuned it.
Color Crystals
Color Crystals can be looted from just about any Elite MOB as random Loot.
The Base DPS and Damage of a Lightsaber is not modified by the Color Crystal.
