[Rant] Shards, Crystals, and Clusters...

[XLauncher]

Gathering crystals and clusters becomes laughably trivial once your gatherer classes break into their 50s and access Aetherial Reduction. Give it time, and you'll be sitting on thousands of these things like the rest of us.

Didn't they nerf the return on reduction? Been getting around 30 for an 8/8 reduction in SB nodes. Do the HW nodes still give bucketloads - I haven't checked.

i'm not.

or at least for some shards. i'm literally doing everything i can to obtain them, including multitasking when gathering hidden items, using treasure maps, killing spirits, etc etc. but i cant seem to get as many shards as a use when crafting. anything that has to do with these resources are expensive and usually not worth it even if when i do find a good price.

in general, im above level 50, and what you've pictured is simply not happening to me anytime soon.
