#### Crushing large amounts of rocks

When you need to crush a lot of rock, how many elemental pouches do you have? I usually carry three, and they seem to get filled up fast, then I end up wasting elements. Or is there some other technique?
Thanks!

- I only have one elemental pouch, so I only crush as needed, in groups of 250 chunks at a time (the amount you can grind with one flaming humbaba). I store my extra rock in SDBs and only crush when I need to.

- I crush in bulk and that way I can have multiple full elemental pouches on hand
  I usually hold 5-7 pouches and do my mass grinding during my nono rush-much more effective than humbabas and plenty of room for all the elements.

- Same as Soupie, though I still go overboard sometimes and waste some red and occasionally sparkly >.<

- i keep only one and do the same as aurora. yeah i waste red when i crush but those elements are the easiest to come by so not a big deal for me.

- If you don't want to waste all of the red you can always make a few copper ingots.

- I do this all the time and usually have at least 8 pouches in slots when I do. I have at least 20 pouches labeled 'elements 1' through 'elements 20' and if i get close to filling them all I concentrate on using them up before mining/crushing more.
  I have another 20 or so pouches that I use for red overflow. I keep pouches of red in my /home and use them when mining - if my mood drops too low I will pop home, grab a red pouch or two and some shine powder, and return to the world to look for a shrine that can accept the donation. Donating that red usually pops my mood back close to max. These pouches are then empty and ready to accept more red overflow while grinding.
  Pouches are cheap relative to the hassle of having to manage things with only a few of them. At least that's my opinion.

- Same as Soupie - I fill as many pouches as I need - they're cheap enough that I just buy more when I fill them up.

- I fill up the alchemistry box to use up elements as I go - also make ingots to help balance out and not lose elements, or donate extra elements when needed.

- I have 5 or 6 pouches and keep some just to catch red elements which I donate. Two or three pouches worth of red elements with EHSP is worth quite a bit.

- I have only 1 elemental pouch! I mine and crush rocks only when im making stuff. :)

- Same as Bunnie, Just have the 1 pouch, with SDB's I can just store the rocks in bulk and use as needed.

- 3 pouches for me... When the pouches are filling up, I make Friendly acid to soak up the red and blue and donate or sell that.

- I have 5 pouches and 2 "overflow" pouches. I only crush at home so I can monitor what Im crushing. You can disperse the overflow for xp if you find you are getting more than you need, and I did that sometimes when I could collect xp.
