Crystals and Kanji Runes

Crystals

Crystals are new items that are used to cube Kanji Runes. They are found in Ores which serve as a container for them. Crystals are extracted by cubing the ore with itself. An empty ore is used to create a corruption orb:

Ore + Dragon Stone -> Orb of Corruption

The amount of crystals contained in an ore are randomly determined, similar to variable mods on a unique item. An ore may contain only one crystal, or even no crystal at all. All monsters have a very slim chance to drop an ore. This chance is doubled in Nightmare and tripled in Hell. These ores may contain 0-12 chipped crystals (0-2 crystal of each kind), but 3-5 crystals on average.

Listed below are some particular bosses that have an extra chance to drop a higher quality or a 'boss' ore.

There is no difference in appearance between normal ores and boss ores, but the latter tend to contain more crystals.

• Boss ores have a high chance to contain a kind of crystal related to that boss (1-3).
• Boss ores have a mid chance to contain 3 kinds of crystals loosely related to that boss (0-2).
• Boss ores have a low chance to contain other 9 kinds of crystals (0-1 or 0-2, depending on the type).

In theory a boss ore can contain 20 crystals at best, but 5 to 9 on average.
