Efficient way to obtain Black Crystals?
Right so I'm looking to make some Balanced Furies to sell and I intended to harvest and refine my own black crystals to maximize profit margin but... now Evo System doesn't sell ore/mining drops anymore so I'm really, really not sure how I'm going to get this done
Does anyone know of any efficient ways to get black crystals without buying from the FM or should I just consider this a sunken cost and walk away?

@rorik92 I shall, thank you
@shini sounds good, i'll try my luck :]
@epicderp I haven't gotten all my black crystals yet but when I do, I'll let you know if it works :]
[quote=chuckdavid]@epicderp: but are they the same as the untradeable ones ? will it work ?[/quote]
Apparently not as the person below me pointed out they are different items.
@hangwithhung: They're everywhere. Mostly in unpopulated maps.
@hangwithhung: yeah, and feel free to hit me up in game sometime, I'll probably be on roriksruin if you can find me on.
@shini oh so heart stones and mysterious veins drop the whole thing? that'd save a looot of work.... where do i find them?
@chuckdavid i'm intersted in this too. last i heard they won't but oh my GOD would it be amaazing if they were. Then m only issue would be getting the freaking black crystals. if what shini said was true, then i'd save myself a crap ton of work. only problem is, i gotta locate the mysterious veins and heart stones.
@epicderp: but are they the same as the untradeable ones ? will it work ?
@lecarde against your advice I tried it anyway... No D/C but no ore drops either not even after link 3...
@rorik92 Lol I don't even understand what the machine is supposed to be. 3 does have the greatest concentration of mobs bit is like you said, it moves. Kind of kills the efficiency. Thanks for the tips though!
@hangwithhung: I think 3 might still be the best, but apparently it roams around the map now which is kind of gross
@hangwithhung: The easter event items already have a high drop rate to begin with, bringing drop gear and using kishin will result in so many event drops that you will probably d/c from lag
@lecarde this is going to sound stupid, probably cos I haven't been in evo lab for forever but uh, why not? is it b/c they'll be dropping easter crap like crazy? I mean I should be able to handle most drops...
@hangwithhung: I wouldn't do that until the easter events stop if I were you
@hangwithhung: If you had the cores from before, you can use them. I got like 20 cores left ^.^
@rorik92 pls go on a run with me <3
also, which evo link number do you think would be best for drops now?
ask someone who has a bunch of those stored up to start an evo run with them for you
I think my paladin still has like 50-80 of those cores
@lecarde tru tru. buuuut considering that rare ores/crystals on the reg in Evo before they changed it, it's kind of a step back :[ I'll have to test the waters then. I'm heading to Evo with Kishin, 1.2x Greed Pendant, and 1.6x Big Spider drop... I hope I'll get at least a few ores
Omg... And just to think all the black crystals i disposed of the pass 2 weeks because i thought they were useless. I farmed so many heart stones and mysterious veins and got so many but never bothered to keep them.
Life isn't difficult man. These are the best stars in the game, they aren't supposed to be easy to get.
@epicderp you know i'm half considering it. also, the ones at the Crimsonheart castle thinggie aren't "quest items" so they're not the same feathers. I really wish they stopped making life so difficult
@lecarde but aren't heart stones one of the most difficult to find? and you need like lv 9-10 mining for it, too...
@medfat wait are u serious? I thought they stopped dropping everything altogether. or at least ores D:
I normally get 100 BC during 2x at evol on 4x with easter buff. Which is only 45 minutes tooo
Heart stones and the new veins are a somewhat reliable source of black crystals

Those don't work, only the typhons at CWK drops the untradeable feathers used for furies.
[quote=chuckdavid]just wondering but where you are getting feathers ?[/quote]

Go to the expert mine and go to a black vein then put a weight on your space bar and walk away for a few hours.
Bro literally your best bet is to find heart stones and thats it I stuggle finding black crystal ore. Its easier to walk away now.
