Matrix Cubes Guide:
How they work & how to make them

Matrix Cubes are relics that can be created on your faction’s capital planet by using the Matrix Shards received from certain datacrons. Empire characters create Matrix Cubes in Dromund Kass’ Ancient Assembly Chamber, that is on the way to the Dark Temple. Republic characters create Matrix Cubes in Coruscant’s Lost Assembly Vault, the West room in the Jedi Temple.

Each character may have one Matrix Cube in Mission Inventory or equipped at a time. Down from 4 during the beta. Matrix Cubes can no longer be stored in one’s cargo hold.
Creating Matrix Cubes
Matrix cubes grant a significant stat boost on equip. The particular stats per matrix cube depend on which three matrix shards were used in the assembler and if you are a force or tech user. There is a total of 12 Matrix Shards, three per color. The order the shards are placed in the assembler do not matter. The order the colors are listed in below is the way the game currently lists the shards.
Visit our guide to all the Matrix Shards and datacron locations.
Matrix Shards:
R = Red
Y = Yellow
G = Green
B = Blue
Tier 2 – Level 15:
RBY — 18 Str, 8 End (M2-W3)
BYG — 11 Str, 14 End (M2-W0)
RBG — 15 Aim, 10 End
RYG — 8 End, 18 Will (M2-W1)
Tier 3 – Level 24:
RYY — 19 Str, 24 End (M3-O1)
BYY — 19 Aim, 24 End (M3-J1)
GYY — 28 Cun, 14 End (M3-L1)
RBB — 19 Will, 24 End (M3-V2)
YBB — 19 Str, 24 End (M3-J2)
GBB — 28 Aim, 14 End (M3-A2)
Tier 4 – Level 32:
YRR — 29 Str, 33 End (M4-O2)
BRR — 33 End, 29 Will (M4-V1)
GRR — 39 Aim, 23 End (M4-B2)
RGG — 39 Cun, 23 End (M4-B1)
YGG — Bugged, gives YRR
BGG — 14 Aim, 33 End, 8 Shield, 10 Def
Tier 7 – Level 50:
Force Users:
YYY — 52 Str, 60 End, 18 Def (M7-Y3)
GGG — 58 Str, 50 End, 24 Crit
RRR — 58 Will, 50 End, 24 Crit (M7-R3)
BBB — 50 Aim, 43 End, 26 Acc, 18 Crit (Possibly bugged since force users have no use for Aim)
Tech Users:
YYY — 52 Aim, 60 End, 18 Def (M7-Y3)
GGG — 50 Str, 43 End, 18 Crit, 26 Surge (Also possibly bugged)
RRR — 48 End, 72 Cun, 7 Crit
BBB — 58 Aim, 50 End, 24 Crit (M7-B3)
Amplified Matrix Cubes
Matrix Prisms, Matrix Emitters, and Matrix Amplifiers can be used to alter matrix cubes when they are being created. These components are currently not in the latest build of the game. Expect to see these amplifiers in a content update eventually. It is speculated that they can be used to create tier 5,6, and 8 Matrix Cubes.
Disassembling Matrix Cubes

Matrix Cubes can be broken down back into Matrix Shards in the disassembler which is in the same area as the assembler. In order to power it, you must use a Reconstructed Disassembler Core which can be purchased from a vendor on Tatooine’s Mos Isla or Anchorhead (by the north sand crawler), depending on your faction. The Reconstructed Disassembler Core currently costs 8k.
Comment below if you see an error or can confirm listed information. Appreciate all those replying.
This guide is a work-in-progress.










Thank You! If it wasn’t for this, I would of taken a very long time
YBB is not accurate. I just made one as a Jedi Guardian, and it resulted in:
Matrix Cube M3-J2
19 Strength
24 Endurance
The item is a Mission Item, that goes into your mission inventory when it is not equipped. This means you cannot accidentally delete or sell it, I presume.
Thanks for letting us know. Really appreciate it.
Updated the guide.
RBB tier three is also not accurate. It returns 19 Willpower and 24 Endurance. Perhaps they changed them all to 19 Primary stat and 24 Endurance?
I just wanna confirm a few more on that tier to edit them all.
Thanks for letting us know.
Updated
i just made a BYY and it does not give me a + def, only gave me a 19 Aim 24 end
Using RYY produces a 19 str 24 end cube (which you have listed for YBB.
Hey mathematically if order doesnt matter shouldn’t there be only 20 possibilities? I believe you have a duplicate on your Tier 1 Red Green Yellow
I just made a RBY tier 2 on my Juggernaut and got Matrix Cube M2-W3 which gave +18 STR +8 END
I made RBY Tier 2 on my Powertech (yes i didnt look it up BEFORE i did it) and was given +18 Str +8 End as well.
Also, in Tier2 you have RYG and RGY should this not be the same? Also can someone test BYG? And no Combi does give Cunning in Tier2?
Tier 4 BRR made me a M4-V1
+33 END
+29 WILL
Could have been worse but wish I got the crit too.
If it matters. This was on a Sith Sorcerer.
Reconstructed Disassembler Core is 8k and sold by Kitpth stims vendor.
Can’t seem to put the first cube in cargo hold. Anyone had problem with that? Maybe change after beta.
just made the BBB matrix cube. it stats for tech user are 58 aim, 50 endurance, 24 crit. not sure if making it as a lvl 47 made a difference but the stats have clearly different.
Matrix Cube M7-B3
YGR – 8 Endurance, 18 Willpower
Just made an RRR as a Smuggler. +48 Endurance, +72 Cunning, +7 Crit
RRR at level 50 for an sorcerer user gives you:
58 Willpower
50 Endurance
24 Crit
Question.
Can You make them again and again or only once in your char´s lifetime?
How does the republic get the red matrix shard on korriban?
Imperial Agent – Sniper 27
GYY created M3-L1. +14 END, +28 CUN
Same result for 38lv Smuggler
Mercenary 26.
GBB created M3-A2 : +28 AIM, +14 END
Tier L24 RYY = M3-01 (19 str, 24 end)
Fantastic post, I really look forward to updates from you.
Many thanks for making the effort to describe the terminlogy towards the inexperienced persons!
Disassembler core also found in Lytle, Taris. Buy the key for the Tatooine Import Crate from the Junk Seller Vendor for 8k
There is also one found under similar circumstances on Balmora… at least for the imperial side. You have to visit the vendor for the key to unlock the Willpower box anyway… its kinda east of the Bugtown speeder point.
how do republic get the green matrix shard on balmorra??
YYY lvl 50: 52 str 60 end, 18 defense. (Marauder) M7-Y3
YYY — 24 Str, 62 End, 26 Def, 24 Surge – is wrong on tier 7 force users
it’s actually 52 Str, 60 End, 18 Def. and nothing else it’s called “M7-Y3″
RGY – Matrix Cube M2-W1
+8 Endurance
+18 Willpower
Oh, as a small note about the Matrix Prisms, Emitters, and Amplifiers: They do not exist in the live game client currently. They do exist in the item database, but are even flagged (Enhancement Location TBD) in their tooltip.
Search for them on torhead.com and you’ll find that info.
3x Green for Sith Marauder = 58 Str 50 End 24 Crit – 3.1.12
Updated.
Thanks to all the replies.
For Tier 2 level 15 RBG is 15 Aim and 10 Enurance instead.
genome468 on January 14, 2011 i checked out your site. not bad. its done prtety much like craigslist so i enjoyed the familiarity. A question tho. how long has the site been up? This can grow to be a big thing just like craigslist.. good luck to ya
So I mde the GRR level 32 version for consular’s and it is only 33 end 29 will. I’ve seen versions online where it has an augment slot (the version I made does not) – - – Is the Augment version of it what you get if you enhance the Matrix Prisms, Emitters, and Amplifiers?
I just made the GRR level 32 with my Trooper (M4-B2) and got 39 Aim, 23 End. Still great, but not what was listed above.
Question: The level 32 version for Smuggler requires 1 Red and 2 Green (RGG) Matrix Shards…. The level 50 version for Smugglers requires 3 Green (GGG)…. Other than Taris, there is no Republic side green matrix shards possible to get until mid 40s. Making it impossible to get the 32 Smuggler cube until nearly max level, and making it impossible to get the 50 cube at all.
How do Smugglers get their 32 and 50 version Matrix Cubes if they are limited to 2 Green Matrix Shards?
Yeah, I have the same questions, I’m playing a Marauder, so I’d like to eventually get the RRR Cube. But from what I can see from the location listings the Third Red Shard would be on Ord Mantell which is not even on the Galactic Map for Empire players… How do we get em?
There are 3 reds without ord mantel. The first is on korriban, forgot where 2nd is . the third is on ilum.
Actually I stated wrongly, I need Greens… How do we get 3 greens? The Green one on Taris is Republic only…
The Green one on Taris isn’t on taris, Its on Belsavis and you need to collect 4 items in open world then go to a cave and activate some lasers to get the green.
For Empire:
1st Red Matrix Shard – Korriban
2nd Red – Hoth
3rd Red – Ilum
For Republic:
1st Red – Ord Mantell
2nd Red – Hoth
3rd Red – Ilum
All factions can obtain a total of 3 matrix shards per color.
The republic green shards are located on Taris, Belsavis, and Corellia. To get the Belsavis Green Shard (happens to be a shared faction location), you must collect 4 Rakata Cubes that are scattered about Belsavis.
For further details on how to get all the colored shards and the rest of the datacrons, please visit our Datacron and Matrix Shards Guide.

ok, Taris and then Belsavis… What level 32 is going to Belsavis?
Also, what level 32 is going to be able to get the world drops required to get the green on Belsavis?
38 Marauder here… just submitted
YRR and got
Matrix Cube M4-02
29 str, 33 end, item lvl 32.
BYY — 19 Aim, 24 End makes M3-J1
RGG yielded a Matrix Cube M4-B1 for my Operative. +23 End, +39 Cun
you dumb kyle, you dumb boy
Confirm, BYY – 19 Aim, 24 Endurance M3-J1
Level 50 Operative
Just made a GGG and got M70-G0 – the Strength cube. I needed cunning. This GGG does not work for tech.
You need RRR for the cunning cube
Is there no cube for assassin tank: end, will, deff / shield? cuz i just see 2 with either aim or strenght.
You should list the planets each color crystal are on. It would be a good quick reference. Not where they are, just the planets.
Thanks
ahhha
Used: BGB on Tech-Char and got Level 50 (M7-G0) 58 Str, 50 End, 24 Crit
also, i just had these 3 Shards in my inventory. Afterwards, i still had both blue ones. Only 1 Green missing. Seems like a bug that crafted the GGG Cube.
The order in which i put my Shards in was from RIGHT to LEFT, BGB.. perhaps theres the bug..
