Could you develop a quest that will provide a avatar warp item to replace the mini forks.
The players that win the level 20 avatar battles are denied a quick warp to the crystals unlike players that had high level friends to get their avatars. This would eliminate the access inequity Perhaps a scenario in which after a set number of battles a player earns the new item. A Magian trial would be nice - the summoner teleport fork that's a main weapon that takes you straight to the crystal once a day.
