[This guide](http://dulfyforce.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/guide-advanced-magenta-crystal/) seems to provide a fairly straightforward walkthrough (if a total pain to actually *do*). 1. Obtain [magenta crystal schematic](http://www.torhead.com/search/Schematic%3A%20Advanced%20Magenta%20) from a world boss * Belsavis boss drops +33 crit * Hoth boss drops +33 endurance * (maybe...all bosses might have a chance to randomly drop one of the three) <br><br> 2. Obtain the materials. Most are easy (you get them from Crew Skills) except for the [Magenta Adgean Crystal](http://www.torhead.com/item/1nCI3EW/magenta-adegan-crystal). In order to get that: 3. Get the "Refreshed and Sustained" buff from a "water thingy" in the Jundland area of Tatooine (north of Mos Anek) at about (470, -2047) 4. Go to Hoth, climb a mountain at (-993, 148) until you get a debuff ("Extreme Altitude") and the item [Pure Shockfrozen Water](http://www.torhead.com/item/gW66Dxg) in your inventory (*don't drink it*) 5. Head to Ilum, and around (-548, 36) there should be an item called "Depleted White Adgean Crystal". Clicking it will spawn a [Force Ghost](http://www.torhead.com/npc/cMDoF1/force-ghost), a level 50 champion with 215 kHP who will turn anyone's ice cube into the magenta crystal after looting his corpse. A full group of 50s (4) is recommended. If you fail, you can reattempt so long as you still have the water.
