Defiant Vented Lightsaber from Revenge Alliance Pack

So. Just logged onto swtor after 3 weeks, and saw they finally released the Cross Guard, and i'm loading my game up now. So whets the deal. It took me awhile to get the unstable ones. Is this new one the same as the first single unstable hilt? Like 100 mil? or what, please tell me its not ridiculous and un obtainable if you don’t have 100 bucks or hell 30 to spend on crates, I get maybe 1k cc a month, and usually buy stuff with creds in game, so whets my chances of getting this saber, specially if I make it my #1 priority, I got lots of rare stuff to trade/sell. And creds can be farmed, but I am not spending 100mil lol A. cause I can’t get that much, and B. it’s too much. And its plain wrong if they don't make it available to people. They should have just put another version on the cartel market to buy, because they still make money, I understand why they don't at first but after the next pack comes out they should put it on there for 500 to 1000 cc

 

30 min after I found out about this new Cross guard hilt

 

 

So I get why they release these and do the way they do, as to. how to get them, Being you can buy 100 freaking revenge alliance packs and not get this saber, but even if you don’t have the money to buy even 30 bucks worth of cartel coins, at some point its just wrong, specially if the item isn't a loot item, cause its understandable if an item is a loot able item freaking awesome, or you have to complete a string of hard quests lines to get it even, a good example. Which I hate to bring wow up, but the Shadowmourne quest line, Amazing, not easy to get but its possible. 

 

The way they are doing stuff for rare cool looking items , and its just a look btw I should add, they make us buy these packs, and jerks are charging 100 million for the saber on the cartel market, which they can they paid for it, but at the end of the day, yea bioware/ea have to make money , but its overkill and cruel after the pack has been out for a long time, they need to put another version of the weapon straight up purchase able on the market, for 500 to 1k to 1500 like those other premium skins weapons/ armor, but as such a huge fan of kylo ren and his lightsaber, i’m going to spend all my time in the game just trying to get credits, to get this freaking lightsaber which is stupid, but i’m going to do it anyway cause I want it that bad, but the next paragraph is  30 min after I found out about this new Cross guard hilt

Cheers. DarthSpeedForce

    Unfortunately when it comes to packs it's the luck of the draw.  Since it's a platinum level item it has a low drop rate and due to RNG you could get 4 in a hypercrate or none.  Just depends.  There are options to try to earn, not sure on what server you are on but on Harbinger usually going for around 50mil not 100mil, so it's doable.

    There are ways to earn credits, you can earn up to 4mil from heroics if you do all of them in a week, farm mats and then selling them on the GTN, buy a hypercrate and don't open it but sell the hypercrate on the GTN, usually those can go for at least 10mil if not more.

    See which ones are available to purchase from the market and see how much they are going for on the GTN, then whatever hypercrate is selling for more, buy that one and then when the timer expires sell it on the GTN.  If it sells for high enough one or two sales may get you enough to buy it from the GTN.  Once unlocked any more can be bought from collections.

    You can also open the hypercrate and packs in it then sell the individual items on the GTN once the timer expires however that takes a bit longer and you may have to keep checking the GTN to relist so someone doesn't undercut your price. I've made around 20 - 30mil that way.

    There are other ways such as checking the GTN, looking for someone selling items way below the normal price, buying them up and then reposting for a higher amount to make the difference.  Like if you see someone selling something for 20k and everyone else is selling it for 300k, buy the 20k items and relist below the other prices a bit so yours sells.
