help 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.
