Crystal weapon seed



A Crystal weapon seed is what is left over after a crystal weapon's charges are used up.

Prior to the release of Prifddinas, this item was known as a crystal seed. With the city's opening, crystal seeds were renamed and reclassified into three distinct types: Prior to the completion of Plague's End, uncharged crystal weapon seeds can be converted into a bow or shield by Ilfeen for a price. The price falls each time IIfeen converts a seed to shield/bow. The minimum prices that Ilfeen will charge are 180,000 coins for bows and 150,000 coins for shields. Alternatively, bows and shields can be purchased new from Islwyn without needing a crystal seed.
 * Crystal weapon seed
 * Crystal teleport seed
 * Crystal tool seed

One of the rewards for completion of the Roving Elves quest is a partially charged (2/10) crystal bow or crystal shield.

On completion of Plague's End, by which players gain access to Prifddinas, players also gain access to Eluned in the Tower of Voices. Here, she will sing uncharged crystal weapon seeds into a greater variety of equipment for a fee:

Crystal magic weapons: Staff, wand, orb and ward

Crystal melee weapons: Halberd, dagger, off-hand dagger and buckler

Crystal ranged weapons: Bow, chakram, off-hand chakram and deflector.

Eluned's weapon singing fee appears to be similar to Ilfeen's, with fees ranging from 1,000,000 coins down to 200,000.

Trivia

 * When a crystal weapon loses its charge, the seed is left in the relative combat slot.
 * At a certain point in the game's history many people discovered that they could alchemise crystal bows for 540k and thus make enormous profit. This was later patched and crystal equipment can no longer be alchemised.
