I wasn't getting a bite in the other threads, so I'm asking this here.

Has anyone gotten a crystal from a 3.0 fate WITHOUT the "soul without life" quest currently in progress? As in, I can safely grind fates on low level classes, earn crystals randomly, and then spend them on relics later when I decide which ones I want?

I'm not sure which 170 relics I want to pick up right now, and would like to just level my dps classes via the constant fate parties that are running. While I could always keep an irrelevant "soul without life" quest in my journal to trigger crystal drops, has anyone gotten a crystal while not on the quest?
