Crystals in abyssea!

[Pufardo]

I would love to see crystals drop in abyssea but I think I'm in the minority on that.

This is a classic example of someone just burning through the game and not playing the "story" of the game. Go back and do some missions

If anyone actually paid attention to the storyline of Abyssea, in that world the Mother crystal is no longer shattered and the crystal lines are receding. All of the crystal shards have been retracted back into one mass (or in the process of). I wouldn't expect crystals to be in Abyssea.

Hey everyone. I'm new to this game. When I find a crystal I just use it. I play on Cerebrus crystals cost 5K for 12. I am not that rich in the game to afford those just to up my clothcraft. So I just use one if I find one. I have my storage full of yagundo (sp) necklaces. I just wish I knew how to farm more of the crystals. I don't mind farming. I like it - it's part of the RPG experience. It makes you feel good when you build something nice out of all your invested time.

I understand what you mean, this is a good site to you for your crafting recipes and to find the location of the elementals you will need to get crystal cluster's. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page If you need to crystals best to farm the elemental's, but they only appaer if the area has the weather effect.

I've have made plenty of gil from being in Abyssea from the normal drops and cruor, and you're worried about crystals? If AH is in low supply, take some time to go get some from elementals in the areas they are located in. If you have access to sky, that would be the best place to farm. May need to bring a friend along if you can't handle them yourself.

Also when you join a party ask if you can lot the crystals to craft. Sometimes you'll get an entire party that just doesn't care about crystals and before you know it you have your inventory full cause you've been lotting on 4 crystals a kill.

What is it with crafters; some complain so much! I dont craft because of the problems with the availability of items needed. Crystals like a lot of synth items are on the AH, so "supply and demand" is the dominante factor. If you dont like it, dont craft.

What everyone else said, farm elementals. No one really does anymore, they're freakin everywhere.

hence the reason for asking for an increase in supply.

As for the rest saying 'go farm' do all of us a favor.. read the posts in the thread before posting. And if your not going to.. then dont post

I did read the posts before I submitted my last post. Hope you did too, and not just the last page.

Therefore if they don't add crystals to Abyssea as you wish, I guess you could wish more crystals elsewhere or... you know... beat up an elemental.

Ok.. for those not reading all the comments before posting, and those still simply saying go farm eles, or use abys to earn gill to buy them.. i refere you to post #18

I never said it was impossible to afford it. But rather the supply was maasively limited now. (prices are jsut a side effect of that) With only new ppl and a few older ppl doing subs, very few are reaching the AH. Not to mention the idiots who feel the price of crystals 'arnt worth their time' to put up on the AH. (hate them ppl)

While yes, cryatls can be specficly farmed form pts or ele's, the time involed can be illogical. Farming one or two stacks for crafting is one thing. But usaly when i craft, its across two days, and i run though a good 50 or so stacks of crystals. The time it would take to try and farm that many crystals independently would take longer then the entire crafting prossess. Their for not a loggical thing to do. So i buy off the AH, naturaly. And i have no problem paying a decent price to those that did collect them from their parties and put them on AH. However supply is still a problem irregaurdless. Their have been times I search every AH and they all had 2~5 stacks left, or flat out.. out of them entirly. For server wide thats a bit of an issue. And im jsut one person that cant get enough crystals. Their many other ppl on these servers that might need them as well. So i feel supply needs to be looked at. If not in abyssea then maybe up the amount that drop from normal mobs outside a fair bit. Something...
