Azurite Crystals
They are possibly limited time only. I haven’t read anything to conclude either way at this point. If you look in the storage in the bank they are in the same area as other crafting materials, not with the festival ones. It is possible that with the conclusion of Flame & Frost there will be a normal chance to mine in some zones.
But, not only are the shiny, they are also a bit like inkblots that if you look long enough you can see critters or faces in the swirly patterns.
“possibly homeophatic” hahahah, good one.
I wouldn’t invest that heavily in it. Sentinel items don’t seem to be very popular, judging by the reactions I got to a thread I posted in the F&F forum about keeping them around permanently. Berserker gear continues to remain the king of popularity, so while Azurite gems may rise in price over time, the demand just won’t be high enough to make a good profit on them. Not enough to outweigh the potential risk anyway, in my opinion.
Personally, I bought enough Azurite Crystals to be able to craft every single kind of Mithril Azurite jewelry (just to satisfy my completionist impulses), while I have enough Azurite Orbs from daily runs of the dungeon for Orichalcum Azurite jewelry. That’s enough for my needs, and I won’t be buying any more.
Crystals have no upgrade recipe to orbs. Long term demand will be for exotic jewelry, if the stat becomes popular.
Crystals aren’t worth more than other unpopular stat combos.
The good news is that if you bought them just above vendor, you can’t lose much money on them
I think someone must have read my post a few days ago – wish I’d noticed, only a 60% increase at current (decreased again) prices – they had buy orders at 3s70s at one point

Research into possible homeopathic properties drew a blank but I understand the Asura are looking into the possibility that these crystals detoxify the body if you strap one to your forehead with a bit of old string.
Initial results are ‘promising’ according to one researcher.
This may or may not explain the spike on Sunday….. I’ll hang on to mine a bit longer in any case
…meanwhile… I just bought a Sup Sigil of the Night for 1g last night. …CHEAPER than a Sup Sigil of Force despite the fact it should be common knowledge by now that it’s technically always night time in dungeons/caves. And those “limited time only” offers came out …. 9 months ago?? So much for the theory for Seasonal rarities.
It probably only applies to cooking, and even there, it’s only on those stupid snowflakes right? I think Zaxares nailed the main issue here: The content in this game isn’t robust enough to be anything other than constant DPS-checks. They need to bring back Xinrae/Khanhei & AngelicProtection and only give it to Mobs, lol.

You should have invested in Sigil of Generosity if you wanted a seasonal item that went up insanely in price. An item that was less than 1 gold is now over 10.
Oh and they will only continue up as there is no reason for any additional to drop until winter.

Please do so I have only bought about 1000 of those.
These items will most likely be released again, can say the same with flames and frost dyes too. Southsun skins are a good example of an item being reintroduced, unless it says “Limited Edition” don’t think it will be discontinued forever, limited time just means you can only get the item between that time frame.
