Tips & Strategies
Use a bronto or theri or racer to harvest the crystal bushes in lunar biome
On Ragnorok there is a little ice cave area before you enter the Ice Queen cave that has a ton of crystal as well as oil. It has 5 to 6 Direbears that kinda roam around. Bring an Anky to gather and an Argy with decent melee to deal with the bears and carry your crystal back to base.
On the island these can be found on a hill in the middle of an island between 70:50 and 80:40 (toward the bottom of the map)
You can eazyly get from any caves
I tested the bronto lunar biome strategy on 1x official. You farm the crystal from the grass there. I collected 15k within 300 feet of distance. Hands down best way to ever farm crystal but it is not easy for beginners. I would have died without a tek canteen because I was unprepared. You are going to want a hazard suit or a tek suit to block the extreme temperatures and radiation. And a hover skiff is highly recommended for transporting the crystal and the bronto.
North South zone 2-3 has crystals at the top of that mountain there’s also lots of resources just watch out for the dinosaurs there are very few that are hostile bring water you’re gonna need it and lots of tamed dinosaurs for transportation of items
Mantis and pick is a solid combo for crystal farming. Use around 300 melee minimum for mantis and 250+ pick and you can get a good amount easily. Make sure you have a good quetzal and/or argent or ravager (more is better) for carrying all of it back!
The beat place for crystal in my opinion is on the Mountain east of the volcano, there are bunches of 200+ crystals worth there.
I’m trying to get a grinder I have everything but the metal and crystal but I’m almost there on metal but thanks to your tips I know how to get crystal now and in good amounts thank you
Put it this way crystal can be found in small to large quantities in any area that could probably kill a lightly armed beach bob, areas such as Arctic, caves, mountains ect.
On Genisis 2 Crystal is a joke. All you have to do is get a low level Tek Stryder with the excavation rig and a Tek dedicated storage.
We got these within a few days of playing. Link the stryder to it and put a piece of crystal in the storage. Once crystal asteroids roll into space take your Stryder out and go ham.
I kid you not we had two of us out there and we completely capped a dedicated in 30 minutes (1800 stacks of crystal!!!)
I want crystal more please 1999
Try using a mining drill on crystals if you don't have a Magmasaur or Mantis. Works much better than a metal pick until you get a better dino.
Guys if you have Genisis USE IT!!! Got to the moon and use your bronto to harvest crystals trust me
Soooo the dex says you get more crystal from using the pickaxes, I have an ascendant one on mobile, and from MY experience, my level 100 anky collects more crystal than I do. But that's with me, I don't know about anyone esle.
Use high melee Doedi on lampposts in Extinction, one hit gives around 200 crystal as well as element dust.
JUST USE A MAGMASAUR!!! YOU'RE WELCOME
If u try gathering this with stone pick, you will literally just get stone
You. Yea you ragnarok player

You can thank me later now go!
I saw my T-Rex was great with carrying it, had like 400 in my Rex and she was still fine with carrying it (barely any levels into weight)
