I keep fire crystals because I make red curry and red curry buns for myself and my friends.

4 stacks of fire crystals = 4 MH/inventory slots occupied.
4 stackable fire clusters = 1 MH/inventory slot occupied.

Yes, it's not a lot and not game breaking in any way. But when you have as much gear as I do, every bit helps. Red curry and red curry buns are also both synths which require non-stackable ingredients, and red currys aren't stackable either. So I have to empty my inventory as much as possible before I start synthing. And even if I fill up satchel and sack (other MH storage options are always 80/80) with gear from my inventory, I'm still something like 45-50ish/80. So like I said, I welcome any sensible suggestion that will free up some inv/MH space for me.
