Expansion Spotlight: The Return of Mana Crystals
Mana Crystals are making a comeback in our upcoming expansion!
On DG, Mana Crystals essentially provide players infinite mana for spell casting. This didn't align with our vision for mana as a finite, strategic resource, so, we shifted to a mana pool system. Buuuttt maybe we missed them, so, we're reintroducing Mana Crystals with a new role.
What Are Mana Crystals Used For? Mana Crystals are essential for crafting. Each recipe requires a certain number of crystals. We’re also updating the Enchant and Perm spells to require 20 and 10 Mana Crystals respectively (while significantly lowering their mana pool costs). This change ensures that while enchanting remains valuable, it doesn’t require a full wardrobe change to do so.
How do I Get Mana Crystals? You can obtain Mana Crystals by harvesting old or unwanted gear with a Wand of Extraction (sold by vendor). The higher the rarity of the item, the more crystals you'll receive. And they're also tradeable between players.
What about my enchanter?! The reduction in mana cost of enchant and perm doesn't change the success rate. In order to 6x an item, you'll still need 189% SDM.
With these changes, Mana Crystals are set to be an important part of crafting and enchanting. Collect and trade them wisely!
