Magma best anky second best metal pick is better than mining laser IF you dont want to use a bunch of resources mining laser gives more otherwise + better
For Ark Mobile. Best way to farm crystal along with obsidian even metal I found is this. Get your self an Argy and an Anky. Next craft yourself 2 refining forges, 2 fabricators, and 2 mortar and pestles (depends how many spots you want to farm) . For the best areas it will be the volcano and the blue obelisk drop a fabricator and a refining for in a spot where no resources spawn (they won't spawn anymore if you do. best spots are up on the rims of the mountains.) From your base you will need to bring some gas (fuel for the fabricator) cementing paste (easiest way to get that is the beaver dams or tame a couple achatinas, don't waste your chitin crafting it unless you don't use it) and electronics as much as you can get your hands on for both. Now with everything in place gather everything with anky and dump the rock and flint into the mortar (for spark powder) metal into the forge (for metal ingots) and the rest into the fabricator craft tons of fridges for transport each fridge turns 150 kilos into 4 kilos. Now that you have it all set up you can go back and forth with only having to worry about hauling fridges to set up and tear down at your main base giving you all the raw materials back. You can do this with other flyers since you can haul 1500 kilos of mats in 40 kilos of fridges so for fast runs take a pteranodon. This is just what I've learned. Hope it helps you guys out. Hope it helps! Play smart and survive!
Well if you want crystals and all the places like mountains and location in the island map are covered by bases. Then you can try in the caves although they give few crystals and if you want more crystals you can try underwater caves you can get large amount of crystals in them. This is heplful when server is being dominated by the current Alphas.
The best gatherer on The Island in an Ankylo.
Equip the mantis with the pick axe and hit the crystal. Much faster.
You can find them on volcanoes or high cliffs you get a lot for a metal pick thing is it has a lot of weight on it!
You can find crystals on mountains and mine them and you’ll get crystals and sometimes rare mushrooms Use an apprentice metal pick axe to mine them
Have one of your tribe mates Mount your highest weighted Anky and pick them up with the talents of your highest weighted Argy then as you are flying low over the metal nodes at the volcano, have your tribe member do the normal swing attack with the Anky as if it were on the ground and you will be able to clear the entire volcano.
Dunkleosteuos can also gather a massive amount of crystal! (Sorry for spelling)
We have the knowledge to make Lazer guns and flying cars but although we can refine metals were to dumb to use the unlimited amount of sand to make glass INSTEAD WE USE RARE GEMS TO MAKE GREEN HOUSES AND BEER MUGS AND THE CRYSTALS ARENT EVAN SPECAIL THERE JUST CAVE GLASS.
A 300% damage Anky can harvest more Crystals than an Acsendant Pick Axe.
If you are looking for crystal I go to volcano with a mining drill
On the island if you spawn the normal spawn the base spawn or spawn zone 1 the island right next to it that you can sometimes see spinos spawn on in the top there is metal and crystal so great for early game
There's this cave weres there 10k+ crystal and its near herb Island so try to find it its op early game crystal and obsidian.
(Note obsidian will have 3k probably so its a crystal cave w ith a artifact (I think)) This should help have a nice day) ••

Anyone know where to find the best crystal on Ragnarok
Lots of crystals hidden in between rocks in snowy area, especially in frozen maw cave, also easyer to see at night as they glow.
In valguero, there is an easy place to get these. In the chalk hills spawn 2 (i think) the place where there is an island surrounded by rocks and a moat of water. If you go up, you will see land above that place, and a lake on the top connected to there. Right underneath the land brige of the lake, you can find lots of crystal and obsidian, all outside on a little hill. No dangers, maybe a few raptors or so (rarely)
İf u teleport to Vannaheim NE u will get tons of crystals and metal
Genesis in lunar with a bronto is 5 star
If you are early game I recommend going into the lava cave entrance (artifact of the massive) and mining the crystal ores around the place. You can get loads of crystal from a few branches. The branches often hang from the ceiling or walls and look pretty big.
