Crystal seed

A Crystal seed is what's left over after a Crystal bow's or a Crystal shield's charges are used up. Seeds can be converted to a bow or shield by Ilfeen, for a price. The price falls each time Ilfeen converts a seed to shield/bow. The minimum prices that Ilfeen will charge are 180,000 gp for bows and 150,000 gp for shields. Alternatively, bows and shields can be purchased new from Islwyn without needing a crystal seed

One of the rewards for completion of the Roving Elves quest is a partially charged (2/10) crystal bow or crystal shield. The Crystal Seed has therefore been released then or before 7 February 2005.
