Am i the only one with more than a thousand units of, Very useless fire crystals? (Cracked, Dim, (somewhat) Glowing). And in dire need of the higher level ones? Why cant there be a way to craft the higher level crystals with lower ones, instead of crafting lower leveled ones with higher ones.
Why not impliment a system where the avil in haven can be interacted with, so you can dump large quantities of lower leveled crystals into it, and then they can be combined into crystals of desired a higher level. As for the exchange rate, we already have the equation "three of one crystal will get you five of a level lower" so what would the harm in an even exchange be? Say you had 32 Glowing and wanted some shining, youd plop them in and get 6 shining and two glowing.
Thats just my suggestion, my true goal though is to just have SOMETHING to do with useless/obsolete objects.
Back in the early days of rarities, radiant fire crystals were huge and abundant. The downcrafting system was wonderful and overall allowed us to get exactly what we needed with our abundance.
Then the radiant drought happened.
Now I have 5* items that desperately need heating, and over 51k shining fire crystals. The "abundance" of 5* has become an abundance of 4* crystals, and 5* orbs. Either we need the original radiant fire crystal drops, or the ability to craft crystals upwards.
Downwards crafting is good though because else you could only get 0* and 1* fire crystals through a vendor in the bazaar.
