It's completely unreasonable to to use me as the base standard for obtaining crystals and shards but don't point to me for that, point to the company that made the game. To be truthful I saw my worker empire as an adventure and setting it up was just content I created. I didn't do it with malice or intent and never took it close to what I could in size but most of it is passive. I put more effort in to keeping market orders up to date than I do in sending out retainers.

I don't know if Square measure difficulty on getting shards and crystals based on this level of output but the point is, that's the high side of what we are capable of.
