Rate Tips
To get Primal Crystals, you must knock out a Crystal Wyvern and harvest Primal Crystals off their back. Once youโve harvested once, itโll take about an hour for the Crystal Wyvern to "recharge" and allow you to harvest more.
The number of Primal Crystals that you can harvest from a Crystal Wyvern increases with its level. A level 1 produces 2 Crystals, and it increases by 2 at roughly every 7 or 8 levels.
Lvl 1: 2 Primal Crystals
Lvl 10: 4
Lvl 20: 6
Lvl 30: 8
Lvl 40: 12
Lvl 50: 14
Lvl 100: 28
Lvl 150: 52
Lvl 200: 54
Lvl 300: 80
Lvl 400: 108
The Crystal Wyvern has an extremely high torpor depletion rate โ one of the highest in the game โ so it will not remain knocked out for long. You might consider trapping it in a cage so that you can harvest it again later.
