What's the point of crystals?

I've been making crystals, and I've been wondering what the point is.
(If I'm wrong, please correct me)
-Theres nothing to create with the crystals after you create them
-They don't sell for much
-Its more profitable to sell fireflies and talc separately

So I was just wondering if I was missing some kind of amazing use for crystals (or profitable). Thanks!

  • -Profitable to the tools vendor maybe not as much as you said and I don't sell mine
    -Easy to make
    -Worth 30 favor each
    -Street projects so I've heard
    -Auctions are a bit higher.

  • I heard crystals were used on street projects, so that's kind of why they're important. They're also worth a pretty big amount of favor if you donate individually (not many things are really worth a lot individually).
    They're worth it for the favor but I wouldn't make them very often if I was you.

  • they used to be used in street projects(and im asuming still are) but definatly worth keeping because when the street projects need them or barnicle talc they are a bit hard to find from what i remember

  • Rook, that makes sense
    -I'm not sure how much the profit difference there is between tool vendors and other vendors, but I'll try it on the tool vendors
    -Thats nice :D I'll go donate them now...

    And Flask, I do love that animation :) 

    Thanks for your input, guys!

  • I can confirm that they were used in the recent street projects. I got 1st place in several by a large lead thanks to mass donation of crystals.

  • They're useless.

    Like herbs used to be.

  • Can someone tell me EXACTLY what they are used for? On the street projects is a broad answer. Possibly a link, maybe? Thanks

  • They are currently used for nothing. In the future, there will be new skills that will allow us to make different types of crystals. Exactly what sort of function they will have is unknown, but supposedly it will be cool...

  • I believe the projected name is Crystal Casting :) I look forward to it.

  • Exactly how they are used on street projects is that the vendor says "I need this many Plain Crystal", and the project can't go on to the next bit until the vendor receives that many.

  • I'm encouraged by the fact that they're called "Plain Crystals" - it means to me that there is lots more to come. :)

  • Maybe with the crystals you can make watches (like quartz) and computer chips (like silicon). Then we can start to build high-tech futuristic cities. lol.

    Actually, they are probably copyrighted up the whazoo.

  • Based on stuff Stoot has said, I would expect resource gathering robots, not computers or watches :P
