I anyone else having the same problem as me?
When I do Verdant Brink or Auric Basin, I get hundreds of the map currency (aircraft scrap and aurilium) but I can do events in the Tangled Depths for hours and make a meager 20-30 crystals at best.

I feel like only the chack gerent event and the crystallized chests drop the crystals. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I’m doing the meta, but hardly earning any crystals. and I need 250*9 tokens for the collection weapons..

Do the TD event chains. Some of them are awkwardly spread from one to the next considering the map cave structure, but that’s the best way I’ve found. The pre-meta chains.

You aren’t doing anything wrong because that’s how TD works, only the Gerent event rewards a good amount of crystals. Unlike VB chests, the TD crystallized chests do not always give crystals. The Airship Cargo gives 3-28 parts each time, while the crystallized chests give 0, 5 or very rarely 30 crystals, so it’s more random. Also, for airship parts there is the large airship cargo which awards a lot more airship parts (6,28 or 50).

As for Aurillium, you can get it from Herta (the bloodstone eater), the home instance node, and events.

In other words, leyline crystals are the hardest currency to acquire.

I guess its each to their own. I find VB by far the hardest to farm currency for.

Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

In verdant brink the flow is much more steady. If you do events you get lots of tokens and crowbars for chests with lots of tokens. Where you get 3-30 airship salvage for a crowbar in VB, you only get 0-3 in TD

There are ten easily accessible chests that can be opened by each character once per day. Great source of crystal and you pass the flax farm getting to them.

You’re referring to the connecting runways of the Gerent battlestage?

There are chests throughout each map, TD has some that are very fast and easy ( once you know the route). Look at dulfy guide for the mastery point chests from the crashed pact ships, there are others along the way as well. The most you need is updtaft gliding.

I’ve only opened abut 30 chests in TD but total I have received less than 50 ley line crystals from chests. I don’t exactly count that as accessible or easy to acquire considering how easy it is to get aurillium and airship parts

In the worse case scenario you still get 5 crystal per event. In an hour you only managed to do 6 events?

Just did my long circuit with 10 chests, got 47 crystals took 14 minutes, got 17 flax seeds at the farm, did not see anyone to do daily mastery points so no chests from that, did get 2 rare reclaimed weapons though so was a good run. This was not a fast run either.

I earned them pretty quickly doing the Gerent meta or from events in general.

Did you do events as well or just open chests? And do you have a very high magic find (I have no idea if this affects chest or not)? Since I’ve opened so few chests there is always the chance that I was just unlucky with the ones that I did open I suppose.

No events where done and magic find has zero impact on chests.

VB is easy unless you decide to only do night time VB.

It wouldn’t really help much, but I feel like there should be a Ley Line Crystal node for your home instance like how there’s an Aurilium node.

Obviously you can’t mine airship parts (and they purposely made airship parts the most common to get from chests), so I can understand the absence of that one. But crystals should be mineable, and I’ve always felt it was odd that only one of the 3 currency types from HoT has a node.

Yes, I agree. Especially now, isn’t it weird that leyline crystals are limited to the Tangled Depths despite us seeing leylines everywhere. Heck, the Dry Top and th Silverwastes have large caverns of leylines
