How to obtain attribute crystal

How to obtain attribute crystals
Introduction

Since we are moving to Gracia soon, I think this tutorial will be good in order to help people obtain attributte crystals needed to get 300 elemental attribute on weapons.

About Attribute Crystals

Attribute Crystals are like an An Attribute Stone. Applied on a weapon (resp. Armor) , you canincrease Attribute Attack (resp. Defense)
The main difference is the max attribute you can bestow on weapon/armor.

With an Attribute Stone, you could up a weapon to 150 Attribute, and an Armor Piece to 60 Attribute.

With an Attribute Crystal, you could up a weapon to 300 Attribute, and an Armor Piece to 120 Attribute.
Each Stone / Crystal could increase the Attribute on a weapon by 5 and on an armor by 6. Both could fail, and they have a different success rate (about 50% for stones, and 30% for crystals). If the Crystal/Stone you put on an item fail, the weapon will stay like it was before you tried.
Each Attribute Stone or Crystal will increase by 5 the element on a weapon, or 6 on a armor piece.

There are three ways to get an Attribute Crystal. You could craft them, drop them or get them from a quest.


Crafting Attribute Crystals

Recipes to craft Attribute Crystals are buy-able at Officer Tolonis at Keucereus Base (Gracia Continent). There is one recipe per element, and all elements have the same cost :200 Extracted Red Starstones

and 600.000 Adena
Recipe canbe learned by all classes as Common Craft. Once you learned the recipe, you'll see that you need 20 Energy Compression Stone (ECS)


20 Energy Compression Stones (ECS)are needed to craft one crystal

There are 3 ways to get these ECS
* 1/ You could buy them
2/ You could farm them inside the Seed of Destruction,the Seed of Infinity or the Seed of Annihilation
3/ You could farm them via the Aerial Kleft

Farming in the Seed of Destruction

It's one of the best way to get some Energy Compression Stone because it's fast and easy.
The Seed of Destruction is an instance where 2-5 parties could enter to defeat Tiat, The Witch of Darkness (more info here). When Tiat is defeated for the 10th time, the Seed of Destruction will be open to everyone for 12 hours. You just have to go to the Seed of Destruction Landing Area and speak to the Officer and say "Enter the Seed"

Seed of Destruction Plan. The "Enter" is the lower rectangular room

During these 12 hours, you will see "Seed Energy" inside the Seed. They have their Element type in the name (for exemple Seed Energy - Fire) and they appears totally randomly.

Seed Energy - Water

To collect the Energy Compression Stone, you should use an Collection Agathion. After equipping the Agathion Collection Bracelet, you will get 3 skills :

Collection Agathion Release Seal : This skill allow you to summon the Collection Agathion


Agathion Collection : This skill could be used only on an Energy Seed, when the Agathion is summoned. It is this skill who will gives the Energy Compression Stones.


Dismiss Agathion : Unsummon the Agathion. If you desequipp the Bracelet, the same effect will happen.
First you have to summon the Agathion, then target the Seed Energy and use the Agathion Skill to collect the Energy from the Seed Energy. You will get between 0 or 2 Energy Compression Stone per Seed Energy
The best way to farm is to wait in a room. Generally there are a lot of people in the Seed, and you risk to loose your "spot" if you run everywhere. Wait at one spot, and be the fastest to rush on the Seed Energy when it pops !
Energy Seed will not spawn everywhere. You'll never see them in the central round room, in corridors, in the spawn room, at the Fortress and in the Throne room.
Each rooms will spawn three elements. I means in one room, you will see for exemple Fire/holy/Dark , in one other room you'll easily see Wind, Earth and Water element, but I don't know which room give which element
Don't forget that the whole Seed of Destruction Area is not a safe zone !
