Lightsabers

The lightsaber is the weapon of a character in Empire in Flames who has undergone the Jedi trials, completed their journey, and have mastered the Jedi profession. It is a tedious journey to undergo this process, but is available to every character on the server, safe for Hutts or Droids. When a character masters the Jedi profession, they can begin to wield a lightsaber. Although the lightsaber is a type of weapon, it still requires a character to know one of the four melee skills on Empire in Flames: Teras Kasi Master, Pikeman, Swordsman, or Fencer. Instead of using one of the standard weapons for these skills, a character can use a lightsaber, which is made up of several components the Jedi has to make, with the help from a Weaponsmith.

## How to Make A Lightsaber

When a Jedi wishes to craft a lightsaber, they are required to undergo this process on their own using a Lightsaber Crafting Toolkit. Because the Jedi is expected to make their own saber, the quality of the saber does not matter, and will not deteriorate like other ranged or melee weapons do in Empire of Flames. However, components of the lightsaber will degrade over time, such as the Krayt Dragon Pearl and the Power Crystal. A lightsaber Kyber Crystal and the Lightsaber Core will never degrade overall, despite having a condition. After the Jedi has a lightsaber core, they can then construct the lightsaber they would like to make. They can choose to make any of the standard lightsabers every Jedi knows using the Lightsaber Crafting Toolkit, or they can obtain one of the many one-use schematics that appear throughout the many dungeons or special events that occur on Empire in Flames.

These are all of the required resources to make a standard lightsaber. Some event-exclusive and dungeon reward lightsabers may have more unique resources that a character has to track down.

* 28 units of Culsion Inert Gas
* 40 units of Duralloy Steel
* 28 units of Polymer
* 28 units of Polysteel Copper
* 22 units of Titanium Aluminum

Shortly after using these components, the lightsaber will spawn in a character's inventory. A character must then open it up to place in the Lightsaber Core, Power Crystal, Krayt Dragon Pearl, and the Focus Crystal to complete the weapon to use it in battle.

## All Lightsabers

Every Jedi in Empire in Flames can craft a One-handed, Two-handed, Polearm, or Reverse Grip saber. While these sabers come with several unique appearance items, they are all the same. If a character were to find a more unique saber by purchasing it during one of the many event vendors or from looting it in a dungeon, this saber will have an exclusive appearance, but unless it is an Agnostic saber, will follow the same weapon conventions as other lightsabers. However, the more exclusive weapons are one-time schematics, and that means a character will need to loot or purchase them again to make another model. Unfortunately, the color customization options of a lightsaber cannot be changed after it has left the crafting phase.

These are all the lightsabers you can find in Empire in Flames.

* Inquisitor's Lightsaber
* Lightsaber Pike
* Master's Polearm
* New Republic Operative's Lightsaber
* One-Handed Republic Lightsaber
* One-Handed Scion's Lightsaber
* Polearm Republic Lightsaber
* Reverse-Grip Scion's Lightsaber
* Scavenger's Lightsaber
* Shoto Lightsaber
* Standard Double-Bladed Lightsaber
* Standard One-Handed Lightsaber
* Standard Reverse-Grip Lightsaber
* Standard Two-Handed Lightsaber

## How Agnostic Lightsabers Work

Agnostic lightsabers are extremely unique to Empire in Flames. These allow a Jedi character to wield a particular lightsaber, and they can use any type of melee skills they know, without having to hold that particular weapon. For example, normally a character with the Swordsman skills can only use two-handed weapons, and benefit from those defenses and attacks while holding that weapon, even though they have points in the Pikeman tree. With an Agnostic lightsaber, a character can use any trained Pikeman attacks they've learned, even though the weapon shows them using Two-Handed, One-Handed, or Reverse-Grip animations with a lightsaber. This means a character can master the Swordsman skill tree, grab points in the Teras Kasi Master, Pikeman, or Fencer, and use those attacks alongside any Swordsman skills they traditionally use.

Many players on Empire in Flames use Agnostic sabers as way to gain further benefits from the various skill trees to boost their toughness. For example, although a character may master the Swordsman or Fencer skill trees, they can grab enough points from the Pikeman Defensive Techniques trees to increase their Polearm toughness stat, which makes them much more difficult to defeat in battle, rather than solely relying on the Swordsman and Fencer skills. Although every build is capable of holding their own in combat on Empire in Flames, this is one of the more unique ways to tackle the standard gameplay rather than relying on the more traditional weapons in Star Wars Galaxies.
