Darn right, might have to prepare for logging in, in the near future :)

[imported_tjl]

just checked on blight, and I must say that I am very please. my level 60 crystals that I refused to eat are now +45 to stat, instead of +14.

/happy

now, will we see some level 80 and 100 of these same types dropping soon? or just all those fancy new ones with % procs and whatnot. Sometimes I just prefer a stat crystal.

Woot! After watching a level 75 icy stone go for 2g yesterday, I now feel that I might be able to get something decent in terms of crystals for myself!

*excited*

Ooooh! I still have a small collection of lvl 40 and 60 crystals stashed away, originally meant as a strategic cache of adv and craft exp for my alts. This might change my mind about using them away.

Good news. [:)]

Heh...I have probably about 100 crystals stashed away in my vault. I've debated deleting them once or twice [:|] Now I may be glad I didn't [;)] Can't wait to see what happens with them.

I checked all my crystals in my Vault from over the years. The most notable crystal change to me was the +100 hp crystals. These will be awesome to acquire, keep in mind not all crystals will be changing. And NONE of the damage enhancing crystals where changed. I doubt they will ever be changed, I have a range of them to check with each patch and will do so.

Wahoo, I kept the HP-enhancing crystals in my vault. ^^ Good thing when I contemplated whether to delete them or not I decided to keep them. Shame they're only tier III... dang I should've bought the tier IV crystals that were on a connie that I deemed as 'useless' and were going for cheap.

An 'Icy Stone'? Geh? Never realized there was a level 75 variant of them, is this an improved form of 'Freezing Beveled Stone' or the '5% chance of doing ice damage' like the... Icy Brilliant Stone I think it is?

[Varangaard]

Doesn't surprise me, they are pretty powerful as they are. Besides, they are stones (or 'deadlands stones') not crystals, and the notes refer to crystals only. Further, these stones being event drops, I doubt they will be retooling them afterwards - or making them available again.

... still holding out hope for tiered updates to the Dark Garnet Weapon Crystals.
