There is no RNG element involved, nor do you need to be running around in endgame gear to obtain it, nor do you need an Operation to do so.



You may need a bit of time, but not a crazy amount either. All classes are capable of obtaining it. Think of it as something like a datacron.



Of course you also need to find an Artifice capable crafter with the recipe to turn the raw crystal it into a Lightsaber crystal, but for the right price, I'm sure they'll help you out.



Honestly, I was a bit amazed to find out that it is possible to have a mystery like this in an MMO. It's been in the game for a few months now (since beta).



Why the mystery? Why not serve it on a platter to those who want the color?



Well, for the same reason there aren't vendors at the start of the game with all the outfits, colors, colors, weapon appearances, etc. Because this is an RPG - some things are earned, not just handed to you on a silver platter. If you want them, you have to play the game.



Yes, we know character appearance is important for people. Hence many of the choices we made in the game, hence us adjusting many features based on feedback from the community during beta. However, the acquisition of appearance options is still a part of the game. You earn appearance past character creation, in various ways.



As said, the magenta adegan crystal is available for everyone and eventually someone will figure out how to get it. It's rare because it's undiscovered, not rare because it's terribly hard to get.



And, because I'm such a nice person today, I'll throw in one hint to get you started:
