Refinement crystals

wait, so now to make a lv 70 or 80 gear i need only 1 loid?

I'm going to stop laughing now and try to answer your question (that I'm SURE you didn't mean for it to sound that silly).

As Gwyrden so eloquently stated:

gear synthesis only requires crystalloidS now, and no longer requires the crypt shop items.

Previously, we needed to purchase items in the crypt shop (i.e. ring and jewelry shards), now it JUST takes a certain amount of crystalloids. For each piece of level 70 gear, for example, you'll only need 150 lvl 6 crystalloids.

Totally missed the point of this post until today - I just now realized that gear synthesis only requires crystalloids now, and no longer requires the crypt shop items. It seems only extra items are only needed when upgraded gear to legendary. I suppose they do in fact expect everyone to start farming crystalloids now to synthesize extra equipment to recycle for refinement crystals.

I also assume this is due to the recent changes to the refinement process - when refining, stats will no longer drop; stats either stay the same or increase, as long as stats are swapped with the refinement. A warning is given when refining more than once without swapping that warns that a stat be lower than an "improved" stat.

only crystaloids drops now and yet i havent seen that either, its always gold and daru.
i believe they did that because set items now only needs loids ? but what about refines ?
do we need to farm loids like mad and create 10 sets in order to make refines ?
if so where are the loids? drop needs to inrease 10x...

I've been wondering pretty much the exact same thing - exactly where are we supposed to obtain refinement crystals now? Besides having to buy them, of course. While I do certainly enjoy the increased drop rate for other materials, the complete lack of refinement materials is annoying - much like the removal of divinity materials from Purgatory Maze. I didn't pay much attention to what my drops were today...I suppose I'll revisit that tomorrow to see just how significantly the rewards were nerfed.
