Hey there guys!
I had an idea.
Maybe sega could introduce another gremlin, like a friend of punch and Vatel, and he would be like a mist energy stabiliser.
You could go to him and for a set amount of crowns you could Stabilise your mist energy and turn it into Crystal energy.
Just a suggestion but i think it would be quite helpful for knights that cant always afford to buy a packload of ce from trade or with real money.
And it would also take quite long to get alot of CE considering how much the mist regenerates.
Kiol.

See above
Mist is free to obtain by simply waiting. Crystal is a solid form of energy which must be obtained with payment to someone. Mist will not be exchangeable for Crystal in a direct transaction ever. Even if it did happen it would probably only give 10CE/100ME at most. Even then you are profiting by doing nothing, which means you should not be getting anything, which makes this entire thread void. Crystal only comes from Three Rings, which is bought by players, which may be sold to other players who do not buy it from Three Rings themselves for in game currency. Either grind those crowns or take out your wallet.

Ok, let's see...
"for a set amount of crowns you could Stabilise your mist energy and turn it into Crystal energy"
So, you would exchange X crowns for up to 100 CE.
The market we already have in-game has that same purpose (although it's not limited by the ME recharge rate), and its prices float around 7k crowns.
If X > 7k, then your idea would be useless, since it's faster, cheaper, and easier to buy from the already existing market.
If X = 7k, your idea would be pointless, and would only prevent the prices from going above that price.
If X < 7k, your idea would be abuseable; it'd create a paralell market with fixed prices, and in order to compete with it, CE selling players would have to lower their prices, which would make it easier to buy CE with crowns, and would demotivate the CE purchase with real money (not only because it'd be cheaper to buy it with crowns, but also because you wouldn't get much of it when selling your CE surplus). And that would directly decrease Three Rings' profits.
So, now I think you can understand why this will never be a good choice.
You can get 100 mist within 22 hours.
You can get enough crystal energy to make a five star item in less than eight days.
No one would even NEED to buy Crystal Energy if they're patient enough.
