Pardon if I've missed this - but are plain crystals good for anything anymore?

Since there won't be street projects anymore from what I understand, and according to the Glitch Strategy Wiki, there's really no other use for plain crystals - is there another use for them that I'm missing?

  • They are used for some restoration projects.  They also store a lot of value in one inventory slot, so they're nice to donate.  But yeah, they're not as useful as they might be, and I hope that crafting with crystals is added.

  • Plain crystals are used when restoring sparkly rocks but I would bet that we get other uses down the road. If you look at the housing demo video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSO...) you can see some colored crystals in the inventory at :37 and scattered around the house.

  • I go through a TON of crystals.  My street is covered with minables (Sparkly, beryl, dullite), and each one requires crystal to restore.  Luckily the more I restore them, the longer they last, but I still use a hell of a lot of crystals.

  • They stay crispy in milk!

    They are also useful for restoring metal rocks, in addition to the other minables.

  • They are also just very pretty to look at.

  • I'm glad someone asked about this. My friend and I were just wondering about these today.

  • Don't they also give you favors with a giant when you make them?

  • No, just iMG.

  • If you use EHSP the crystals give 90 iMG each. That's 2700 iMG per stack of 30. Not bad if you are trying to knock down time for learning a skill.

  • You do have a chance to get favor with a giant if you have the Crystallography skill when making crystals!  Usually 5 favor with a random giant, but people have said they've gotten more.
