Eric Musco has informed the SWTOR community that the Unstable Arbiter’s Lightsaber is now up for direct sale. It’s going to take deep pockets to buy it though: 18d10
Hey folks,
Later today we are going to be adding the first ever Platinum rarity item to the Cartel Market for direct sale, the Unstable Arbiter’s Cartel Coins.
Before the item is posted we wanted to let you about why we are offering a Platinum item at all and the rationale for its price.
Why put up a platinum item for direct sale?
Since the introduction of items are intended to be exceptionally rare and we need to ensure we do not cause them to be undervalued, especially for players who got them from packs.
Why the price of 7,600 test and we wanted you to be aware of what we are doing and why.
The net result for us is we want to see if this is something our players have interest in. While ensuring it doesn’t undermine the value for players who already have one and see how receptive everyone will be to us continuing to rotate other Platinum sale Platinum items until they’ve been unavailable from Cartel Packs for a number of months. This will also help maintain their rarity for a fairly long time.
Thanks everyone.
