Would it be possible to add crystals to be found on the island as a part of the collectible quest?
Have them the drop rate of a banner and then up the banner drop rate a bit?
Just my two cents,

That would be nice
the best idea in last 8 months i have heard of.
ty cs.
You can always ask but don't get your hopes up as one of the BB devs already said during testing there were no plans to add any other "normal" ways to get em. They are supposed to be very rare and limited as in even more rare than gems. Note that crystals allow players to get gems.
Waits for the OP to suggest Explorers find crystals.
the whole point again of this is so people dont rush through
its not going no where as if like some of us you play the game long term you will have plenty time to get things from it without needing to spend gems
so many people want more this more that instantly the game is not meant to be rushed the slot machine will stay therefore crystals for daily log in and quest can be got :)
maybe 1 or 2 Crystals as reward for finding all collies?
see this suggestionQuote:

Personally i dont rule any of the game play out, i play ali addys/Ft addys, normal addys even wots etc also i do pvp for a change to and mountain scenarios the game not about levelling up for me its about having a laugh and fun so i dont mind how long it takes to get to 70 or even 75 as theres different things to keep me busy when i get bored of one thing in particular and fancy a change.Quote:

So I am, but most people have fun on their way, to level up racing other players or trying what higher people play as soon as possible.Quote:

More and faster? true, we have the airship now for second day and i made 20 crystals, the suggestion was to get maybe 1,2 or 3 crystals with a collectible search.Quote:

Also, this was just a suggestion to how it also could be done because, as a matter of fact, a crystal is also a collectible actually.
people may buy gems to play slot machine they also may spend them on the fairy stars to find collectable if it ever did happenQuote:

we already have the weekly login, quests, level up and achievement rewards that give gems now the slot machine quests so people may actually spend less on gems if they buy them as be getting more free from the game. so personally i cant see them adding yet another way to the game how to get free crystals for the slot machine, but i could be wrong they might.
I've gotten 10 banners in one morning spawn alone. Never know unless you find all.Quote:

However, I'm much more worried about the devs messing with collies. Every event that has them there's something off with them.
Furthermore, I think what we need is more reasonable uses for the collectibles we already have, rather than even more of the collectibles, even though crystals would naturally be immediatley useful.

So I think my situation is very similar to ClownSolo's . This would make a boring task a bit more worthwhile.
My opinions to some of the other points raised here:-
The speed at which the game is played is dependent upon the time that people have to play. Some have so little time they have to prioritise others do not. Currently collectibles are last on their list apart from a quick look for banners .
The collectibles ARE and should be the rewards we can do good things with them. But the rates we find them all need to be adjusted. A main reward at the end sounds nice and maybe it could be 1 crystal but I would far rather have the extra 'zing' of having to find it.
They have balanced everything around the current fixed numbers and adding even one more way would mess things. Remember that the crystals allow you repeatably to get gems and large amounts of exp. Even a single crystal per collectible spawn as complete reward or clickable item would mean players could get 100-150 extra gems a week for "free".
(The math: ~3 spawn per day, 7 days per week = 21 crystals. With the machine there's ~30% chance for letter parts + small chance for more crystals which makes it around 10 letter parts. With those you create 3 mini-quest chains that each reward you with 50 gems.
I totally disagree with your thinking.Quote:

Big surprise that players want always more :rolleyes:Quote:

You are calculating from the perspective that every collectible quest gives you 3 crystals, as far banners for example, if i collect 1 banner a day it's alot allready, most of the time theres no banner in sight at all, so my estimation of 10 banners a week would per definition also be 10 crystals a week, now your math with the excelsior bot is also wrong, your suggesting that to receive the 2 crystals there is a 33% chance while it is clearly not, I have spnet 500 gems on the bot in one go and got a total of 8x2 crystals and still need to complete the long letters quest, which by the way you also imply that you get 3 of them which is just blatantly absurd.Quote:

I think you should re-read what I wrote. I calculated it so that if you get a single crystal per spawn it totals to 3 per day. I also did not say any percentages for the double crystals slot reward, only for letter parts. If you are having statistically a bad time it does not mean the system needs a change. You can go to test server and use 100k gems and see what the percentage looks like for map parts when you roll 99 every time, or maybe check the French forums as they have had the patch for like 2 weeks.Quote:

Collect all happens every ~8 hours or so. I know some people often manage to collect everything before going to work, at/after work and before zzz.
I agree with lulu....
the more bb give us the more some players want. chillax and enjoy ur time on settlers, there's no rush. if bb give us more crystals the excelsior stuff will be done in no time at all and then e1 will be moaning they got nothing to do again. if u wanna get to 70 asap and finish all content ur playing the wrong game!
Or add 1-2 Crystals as collectibles on 1001 Night adventures, since they have none atm?
