Artifice Crew Skill Guide
Artifice is the construction of Jedi and Sith artifacts, specializing in creating modifications for items, most commonly lightsabers. Players with Artifice will be able to Reverse Engineer their crafted focii as well as the feet and wrist armor as well as discover new ways to improve armor creation. Archaeology is the main gathering skill you will want to have in order to gather raw materials for Artifice and the Treasure Hunting mission skill will also provide you with additional gemstones.

Blue, Green or Red (Critical, Fortitude) Crystal

Blue Amorphous Crystal
Green Amorphous Crystal
Red Amorphous CrystalYou can make any of the colors that you want, it doesn't matter which, just use whatever materials are available to you. All extra items you make use Reverse Engineering on them. It will take about 45 seconds per combine.
Artifice 40 - 80
Make 10 of 
Might or Resolve Hilt
Materials Required:
Rubat CrystalIf you have Archaeology than you probably know how common Rubat Crystals are at first. This makes leveling through this range a whole lot easier. For any of the hilts you have left over I recommend using Reverse Engineering on them and then selling any left over Rubat Crystals on the Auction House. It will take close to a minute for each of these combines.
Artifice 80 - 120

Another recipe where you get to choose which of the items you would like to make. None of the colors are any better than the other when it comes to raising your skills so just use whichever is available to you or whatever one is cheapest. Any of the left over crystals you will want to use Reverse Engineering on and sell keep any left over materials for later or sell them on the Auction House. It will take a minute for each of these combines.
