How to get/craft non-advanced colour crystals

I've recently started playing SWTOR with my girlfriend (she's FTP) and I'm trying to get her a colour crystal for her lightsaber because right now she doesn't have one equipped. I've been levelling up artifice but can only seem to craft advanced crystals which she can't use...
How can I get the plain old crystals that she can use?
Best Answer
You should learn basic (green/blue level) crystals early on in Artificing. At Artificing level 80, you will learn more colors of crystals. Reaching the skill to craft Advanced crystals won't remove the knowledge to craft the basic ones.
At level 50+, though, the best crystals are all Advanced ones. You may need the Artifact Authorization to use them, which can typically be bought from the GTN with credits if you don't want to spend actual money.

Can you craft color crystals Swtor?
You can get crystals from a lot of places some are available from the PVP vendor on the fleet, and the GTN will have a ton of them for sale under the Item Modifications section. Other players can craft them as for you if you ask and provide credits/materials.How do you get different color crystals in swtor?
Craftable crystals can be crafted by players who have the Artifice crew skill levelled to the correct Artifice level. Once you have reached the required Artifice level, the schematic for these crystals can be purchased directly from the artifice crew skills trainer.Where do I craft crystals in swtor?
To acquire gathered materials, go out into a questing area (assuming you're at level 10 or so, go to Coruscant if Republic and Dromund Kaas if Imperial) and look for crystal formations and archaeological finds, which will be marked on your mini-map with little asterisks. Right click on them to gather.How to Make the CHAOS EMERALDS - Origami Diamond - No Tape! No Glue! No Scissors!
