GEMS CRYSTALS

Gems, or crystals, can be divided into two categories. Lightsaber quality
gems and blaster quality gems. You cannot use a lightsaber gem in a blaster,
just like you cannot use a blaster gem in a lightsaber. Aside from this rather
rudimentary seperator, they are both similar in that in order to get the
best ones, you will have to travel far and wide to find them.

How do you tell if a crystal can be used for a lightsaber or a blaster? Well,
ask any Science class individual who has minerals at 60% or higher to examine
it, they will be able to tell you.

If you decide that's too much work, you can always rely on the gem counter.
This handy little add-on to the makeblaster and makelightsaber skills will
count how many gems will work properly as you start to make the weapon. Pay
close attention, because it will pick three from your inventory, and it won't
worry if they're all the same type, or if you have a crappy one and it uses
the crappy one and only two of the good ones you have in your inventory.

Crystals, or gems, can also be cut by using gemcutting. It is said that the
best crystals can come from ores, and those can be perfected by having someone
learned in chemistry and minerals alter the crystal.
