1. Always pick up the largest

1. Always pick up the largest mineral in Clockworks runs/Missions. Also, do not worry if another teammate gets the biggest one, since everyone gets the total sum at the elevator.

2. Keep your minerals a while, and in Haven Arcade, at the top right area with the mineral transfer boxes, keep looking for gates with the +3 or +4 crowns icons on them. When you find them, open your inventory and shift + left click on that particular mineral and deposit all of that color mineral into the gate.
Hit confirm, and receive the most cr for that mineral.

3. Please note, though, that you should always check all of the mineral transfer machines before deciding which machine to place minerals in. Also note that most gates will have +3 icons. The mineral that is more likely to get +4 is the yellow mineral. Regardless of this, though, ALWAYS get the biggest mineral you can find.

You can't use them in crafting, shards and crystals are different things. The sole purpose of crystals is to be used on the arcade (you can change the gate's stages theme with them and get money in exhange, though the whole "changing the arcade thing" will probably be useless for you since the whole system has been cast aside for the missions system), I've also heard that they will get more uses on the battle sprites update so you should keep yours instead of exchanging it for money at the arcade, just in case.

Always get the largest

But if the largest is Luminite (I think is yellow) That's a bonus. Because those sometimes go for +4 crowns per, but is you have a medium Yellow and a Large or Shiny Purple, always go for the largest.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

Actually, you WILL use them in crafting. For Battle Sprite food. So save up!

To maximize one colour over the others, figure out your team mates pattern of getting minerals, and then base your decisions off of what they will go for.

Most people prioritize size before colour. So if the following drops and their favorite colour is blue:
Small yellow
Small red
Large green
Large Blue
....They will choose Large Blue. But if your party found the following:
Small Green
Small Blue
Large Yellow
Large Red
....They will choose randomly between Large Yellow and Large Red.

So lets say that you're trying to build blue, but care about size as well, and you got the 2nd set of drops in a party of 3.... you don't know what the third person's favorite colour is, so you should choose Small Blue over all of the others, but should then choose Large Yellow or Large Red over small blue if one of your party members refuses to pick up minerals.

That way, you can maximize colour while retaining amount.

"The sole purpose of crystals is to be used on the arcade"

But who cares about changing the gate's stages theme. The arcade and clockworks are obsolete in this game because "we do missions now" and nobody cares about clockworks and the arcade. You could strip down naked and have the wildest, kinky sex in the middle of the arcade and no one on sk would ever know.

But the minute there is an array of 1* knights staring off into the distance, sprite hits the fan and everyone must go see/cause lag.

Minerals are gonna be a part of making stuff for your battle sprite to level up. It depends which color you need based on which one you'll be getting. So don't sell your minerals to the machine thing save them!

WAKE UP GMs THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN HERE FOR 24 HOURS!!! :P

Anyhow, yes it's frustrating. The arcade itself is used, but the Haven area is never ever entered for selling minerals and doing krogmo stuffs. If you do not have KoA unlocked, the party finder gives you plenty of Arcade parties.

the big room that we call the Arcade

If you're using "Arcade" with its original meaning --- the big room that contains the gates to the Clockworks --- then what really killed the Arcade was the Auction House. Before that was introduced, everyone would gather near the alchemy machines in the Arcade and the Bazaar. The Town Square was empty. The Auction House completely reversed the situation.

I wonder if it'd be possible to join all 4 haven areas and get rid of the loading... maybe reduce the capacity and make more instances of it to cope with the obvious amount of more lag?
