+1 Crystals Anyone?

[TheVedis]

Id rather us get a use for crystals and clusters again before we even consider anything else

but +1 shard = crystal
+1 crystal = cluster imo

Well they certainly need to fix the rate at which fine sand is created or found because the current system has dropped the value of whole crystals completely. But something like that could easily be tackled by adjusting drops and how whole crystals are used as well as how fine sand is made. This would just take the place of how we boost quality while crafting while sparing our inventory space.

Also, a plus 1 fire crystal would have a much higher chance of dropping more shards when desynthed than a normal fire crystal would is how I thought of it. Same for clusters.

no, fine sand isnt the issue

its the fact crystals just arent really used in recipes yet they keep us plentifuly supplied in them, we need crystals back in recipes themselves, clusters i can wait on, they never dropped a ton to begin with, but im sitting on 50k crystals easy as are many others and it just keeps rising

I always got the impression that the original idea was to have crystals and clusters get used more once the level caps went up, but since that hasn't happened because of the rework, its now very low on the list. But I understand completely what you mean and don't really know why they havent added the use of whole crystals more in the newer recipes.

crystals were used ALOT before the recipe revisions started and made everything super cheap on the shard end

clusters were what we assumed was gonna come later, there was a single recipe that used them(not counting alchemy that turned into crystals) before they came in


now, theres a handful of recipes that use crystals, and nothing uses clusters
