“A data holocron or datacron was a type of holocron that could be accessed by non-Force-sensitives. They were mainly used to store encrypted data. Revan and Malak stored encrypted information in a datacron and hid it on Rekkiad in the Twin Spears along with Mandalore’s Mask. Canderous Ordo and renewed Revan later returned with other Mandalorians to take Mandalore’s Mask back.” – Source: Wookieepedia: The Star Wars Wiki http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Data_holocron
heroic missions being battle for illum and false emperor?
No Heroic missions like poisonous strategdy
hmmm,, I have killed around 20-25 elites in a heroic area and no drop?, did poison strat as well
Been having no luck on this. Spent a few hours around Ilum killing everything in sight. From Weaks to Champions all over Ilum. Heroic Area included. With and without quests. I even made Secure Chest Runs all over Ilum.
On other planets you can get a good chance when you pick missions that spawn a Boss/Champion NPC. But Ilum doesn’t have one (at least if you compelted the planet like I did and only have the dailies left), nor does it grant lockboxes upon completion.
On Tatooine, Nar Shaddaa and Corellia I managed to find mine within roughly 30 to 45 minutes of grinding Heroic Quests and World Named Champion NPCs.
Granted this may be a case of bad luck. But this one seems considerably harder to get/dependant on slimmer chances to succeed than the other planets i’ve been at.
Another thing to point that this one is rarer, is the fact that it’s the only Datacron Deco i can’t seem to find on GTN either.
A more consistent way to get it to drop would be appreciated.
Cheers.
You can find Champion(The Crystal Eater, Respawn every 5 minutes.) near Willpower datacron ;] My friend and i killed him and he drop this Datacron(was first attempt). After few hours i tried to farm but he drop only Orange items and credits. You could try it but i already gave up 😀
Yeah I killed him too. Only once though. He takes quite a bit of time to solo :S
Will try again i guess. Thanks.
Cheers.
I killed him about 3o times and got a crap load of orange items and cash but no datacron
I’m not sure I feel good about this kill, but I was kiting him around and found that he can’t directly attack, if you go into the right area by the pillar hiding the willpower datacron. He’ll still do his ranged damage attack, but that was easy to heal through.
I got it on second completion of Heroic 2 Poisonous Strategy ( from the lockbox reward ).
Still no luck on this one. 23 heroic completions, 23 lockboxes, killed Crystal Eater like ~10 times, and the other Champion guy ~20x in the daily quest area. Did they remove it?
I had this drop from the lockbox reward for the Heroic 2+ (Poisonous Strategy) – 2nd time doing the quest.
Any new tips on farming this one? I have spent a few weeks running the dailies and have had no luck getting this one to drop.
No drops for me either on Imp side. However, when I swapped to one of my Rep chars, I did get a few drops. Not many though.
So either they fixed it or for some strange reason it only drops on Rep side?
Killed a gold elite while waiting on the Crystal Eater… Also got it off Crystal Eater and found it in the chest after killing Malgus in False Emperor out of a blue ancient lock box.
Has anyone been able to find one of these post-4.0? Just spent a few hours farming elites and such, but had no luck so far.
Same here. Of course it’s the only one I don’t have a single copy of either. I think I remember seeing someone say to save any non gear lockboxes until you get to Ilum and then open them there but haven’t had any luck so far that way either.
