Relic: Your progress on the Grind.

[Dement]

The 3.3 step in the anima is extremely confusing to me since I dont craft or gather. Most of the items that are exchangeable for crystal sand, I have never seen before. I dont collect materia, or farm the ARR primals. So starting out, I have nothing to exchange. I liked the last 2 steps because I could just do dailies and buy the pieces with Esoterics. guess I have to start actually trying now.

There is an option to get the sand in almost the same manner. You can get it with your 6 levequest allowances per day. You will need to get any of the Heavensward Levequests in Foundation and then go initiate it. Randomly a blue chest will spawn in the general area that the levequest takes place when you initiate the quest and the blue chest will always contain a amber encased vilekin which is worth 1 Crystal Sand. You can opt to actually complete the levequest from there if you want, or once you get your treasure, you can abandon the quest and re-initiate it to do it again and look for another chest. This also applies if a chest does not spawn. I did about 60 of these on patch day and got roughly 15 crystal sands out of them. The whole thing only took me about an hour too.

"good advice".

Oh, thanks! I honestly never did those leves, so I'll add that to my routine.
