TOPIC: how can I custom my own saber ?

Hey jingjing
1.Your first post should go in the Members Introduction Topic to introduce yourself.
2.either prior to this post or very soon after you should check out the FAQ section as it will answer most of your questions plus others you may not have thought of yet.

To answer your question, either wait for ASP to officially launch where you can customise till your hearts content or direct your enquiry to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (as mentioned below)
Either way, the wait will be rather extensive as commissions for customs are closed currently due to high demand and ASP similarly.

Switches = 2. (1 = activation, 1 = Aux) Sound change is either by on-board menu (by holding down aux button and cycling through) or by SD card on computer. colour change is a twist feature..

You can either order at saberforge.com or at Etsy.
RGBA is only available on Hero Tier.

Here is the Etsy page for the Guardian Hero edition: Hero Guardian

To get RGBA, select it in both the first and second blade color boxes.

As Ouin said, there are 2 led switches, 1 activation and 1 auxiliary. They are on opposite sides of each other on the saber (see the pics in the link above).

Hope that helps!

jingjing wrote: The way I understand it is that, in the Relic, the saber you linked to, the crossguard lights don't have the capability to switch between different colors, which probably has something to do with the soundboard (which I think handles the different colors in the Hero teir). If you want to get one of these in the Hero teir, you probably will need to wait until Saberforge comes out with something that can wrap its mechanical mind around the crossguard lights better.

I believe that exactly the problem, I just checked on about a dozen sabers on their Etsy page and all but two had Hero-RGBA options. So it's not an Etsy issue just a specific saber issue. Sorry but It does look like you'll have to wait until the tech is there if they ever decide it's worth their time.

jingjing what saber do you want Hero Guardian
or a Relic. I want to help yoi understand!

It may be worth noting that when buying on Etsy, Hilt Products and specs are pre chosen as selectable Thumbnails. If your wanting the Guardian in Hero Tier, after searching the Saberforge Listing, go to Page 4 and select specifically the Guardian Hero Thumbnail & description. Once the linked window opens up you have choice of colour for Leds. Here is where you select RGBA for both Options.

Agreed. The Relic is not available as RGBA because of the crossguard emitters. I believe you can still order Hero Tier but as 6/6/12 instead of RGBA.

Hope this helps.

Ouin you're doing a great job. I hope jingjing understands because you have been very specific and truthful.

Just an observational comment, if the premise for your primary enquiry was with the Relic, then it may be a good idea to lead with that to lessen unnecessary posts as those trying to assist don't have to engage in a dance around in circles. You're not to blame or at fault because I for one have many times thought I liked a specific Saber only to be influenced by intrigue at the introduction of another. All is good, moving forward.

Okay, You'll notice when selecting the Relic via Etsy it is limited to 3 Tiers only: Initiate, Warrior & Champion. Even when you enter the drop-down box for Led at the very top it shows Initiate/Hero N/A. This conclusively shows that not all Tier offerings are available for this special Saber.
My comments in previous posts were in direct reply to Hero Tier, specifically the 6/6/12 & RGBA. This is still accurate to Hilts that are available in the Hero Tier. The 6/6/12 just means you're selecting 2 6w Led Colours that combine to make a 3rd 12w where RGBA is mixing colours of any combination at 3w. Hope this makes sense. It is explained in FAQs, pasted below. .
I'm no SF product expert or skilled with electronics but when it comes to multi-colour function, obviously through 3 simultaneous emitters as a practical application there are limits especially when trying to remain consistent with battery size & power and design of hilt and it's handling dimensions.
Unless advancements are achieved where the Led can do what you're asking/wanting you'll just have to wait and see and even hope that frontier is reached. Until then, if the Relic must be had now, you're only option is to go a single 6 or 12w colour.*/**

*just thinking out-aloud here. Cannot confirm if theory will work. To achieve multiple colours in the Relic maybe order as a White Led Colour. Since emitters are still standard 1 inch OD blade sockets, buy some LEE Colour Filter discs and manually change the colours to your desired effect. Granted the colour's won't be as generous or rich compared to a designated coloured Led but it's likely the next best thing.

**or just close your eyes and use the force!, I mean revisit your childhood when you didn't have an actual saber replica and tap in to the creative imagination that made everything seem real.

As I mentioned in an earlier Post, Yes, RGBA is only available with Hero Tier.
My speculation (that Hero 6/6/12 might be available for Relic Hero) was evidently incorrect. My error, I admit fault, I don't know everything. As it has been identified, regarding the Relic Hilt specifically, it is only available as Initiate, Warrior or Champion Tier's.
Your last query was covered in an earlier post when your interest was with Guardian. This is explained in FAQ section.
Brightness is subjective. With the sacrifice of sound, it is often preferred (and even debated as brighter) ordering the Relic as Warrior Tier. (It was mentioned in another Topic that Phil allegedly prefers in order: Warrior>Champion>Hero when it comes to brightness) Battery output only needs to feed (undivided) the Led rather Led & Soundboard (Champion). But even a 12w or + Champion won't disappoint (only perhaps Colour change as this is of high importance to you). Check out some reviews other Members have posted. I recall seeing one recently for a Blood Orange Weathered Relic that definitely wasn't inferior. But it comes down to your expectations.

I can't make the decision for you but you have some decisions to make. Judging by your recent posts its a choice between Relic and Guardian with a keen interest for RGBA. In one hand you can have the Guardian Hero RGBA, in the other Relic either Warrior (No sound) or Champion (Sound), 1 colour only & NO RGBA.

Good luck!

Here is a SF relic with rgb. He had to add a larger battery etc..

I ordered a "Hero" Sinister prophecy and saw this abit later. "How many powdercoating colors are there? The real answer? A LOT. There are over 20 base colors, which can be combined in certain cases for other colors... meaning the limit is pretty high up there. They have a lot of customization available at their fingertips". In the faq. I asked if they could make the hilt Bronze and weathered.. Is this a standard option or a special. I don't want to irritate them with anymore questions as I'm a newb and perhaps getting a fever

Hello Damien Katarn and Welcome to the Forum.

Good to see you have visited the FAQs and if you haven't already, be sure to check out the Forum Rules and Post an introduction in the New Member's Thread too. You can jump there, here.
Everyone has to start somewhere and as for the fever? a high possibility as it's a symptom shared by many. To answer your query:
Bronze Powder-coating can be applied to sections of your Saber as you desire however this type of customising can only be achieved through The Customs Shop and unfortunately ALL New Custom Commissions are temporarily closed. The email address for Customs is in FAQ (which you have read) so I won't duplicate it here. This falls under a Special option.

The Weathered finish is available in two types (with a variation to one). Let me explain. As standard options go you typically have a choice of a standard (clean) finish or weathered (dark) finish. Limited to a few select hilts only there is also a Grey weathered finish available. As explained in the following:


The other is Shattered Weathering (only available through Custom) where the simulated damage is taken beyond just the weathering mentioned above and actual battle damage is applied to it. Just Search Shattered Weathering.
