So is there a GOOD point to crafting Shards/Crystals?

[Zozorozo]

I see the value in having them as an item that gathers can sell. I personally can make 50,000 - 96,000 an hour gathering shards.

I do agree, however, that for people just interested in getting their shards for crafting, this can be a drain. If they were to lower the GP for the Wards, it would help drastically.

Yeah, the wards need their cost lowered - why would I bother to level miner when I can just spend 100 GP more for the same effect anyways?

If they added recipes to alchemist where they use fish to convert into shards maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Wait....they did that in 1.0, I wonder why they took it out.

Curiously, River Sand is still in the game but I have not found any Alchemy recipes that use it.
