Color Crystals are not only a great way to show off your allegiance to either the Empire or the Republic, they also come in a variety of more “neutral” flavors to suit whatever mood you may be in. In the endgame these color crystals are especially important as they provide different stat enhancements to suit your class, and specific situation (ie. PVP or PVE). Below we go over all of the endgame color crystals SWTOR has to offer and how to get them!

Colour Crystal Stat Types

There are four different varieties of color crystal available at the endgame, each providing a +41 stat increase to their respective stat.

Hawkeye    +41 to Power

WarHero    +41 to Expertise

Eviscerating     +41 to Crit

This is where your team comes in. You must travel to the Imperial held planet of Taral V and steal the star charts that will lead you to the station.
