## Notes we already publish

- (use) The gem is only half the bill. One [[item:PalAwakening_Dark]] takes 50 Dark Radiant Gems **and** 10 [[item:WorldTreeHolyWater]], and the craft yields exactly one crystal — there is no bulk discount for stacking materials. Holy Water is the half people forget, because the gems arrive in piles of 10-20 from a single Dark boss while Holy Water has to be gathered separately in the World Tree. Count your Holy Water first: if you are sitting on 30 of it, your real ceiling is three crystals no matter how many gems you hoard.
- (drops) Two very different farms hide in the drop table. The 10-20 tier — [[pal:HadesBird]], Helzephyr Lux, Starryon, Splatterina, Lyleen Noct, [[pal:BlackGriffon]] and Selyne — pays out at 100% every time, so an average haul of 15 gems means roughly three or four kills for a full 50-gem crystal. The 1-3 tier (Majex, Smokie Cryst, Celesdir Noct, Loomen, Dandilord and friends) also hits 100% but averages two gems, so the same crystal costs about 25 encounters. Stick to the big seven and the crystal is an afternoon; grind the small Dark Pals and it is a chore. Capturing works as well as killing here — a thrown sphere that lands still awards the drop, so you can bank the Pal and the gems in one go.
- (location) Treat Ancient Relic recycling as a bonus, never as the plan. Even the best-paying relic, Glistening, converts at 4.4% for a single gem, which is around 1,100 relics for one crystal's worth; Decayed at 2.1% is closer to 2,400. You also have to build the Ancient Relic Recycler first — 50 Paloxite Ingot, 50 Mythical Wood, 30 Ancient Civilization Parts and 20 Ancient Civilization Core — so the structure alone costs more World Tree material than a few boss runs would. The recycler earns its keep for relics you were going to dump anyway, not for gem farming. The fire-sealed chests in the World Tree are the only non-Pal source worth routing for: 33.3% for 5-10 gems a chest is better than every recycling line combined.
