Erm, sorry to correct you, but it was way easier than that. All you had to do was have signet/sanction on you and then crystals would drop from *any* defeated enemies. It was made even easier by being able to buy Signet Staffs so you could get signet at any time if you forgot to get it and then you could just carry on doing whatever you wanted and getting crystals was a by product you didn't even have to think about
