For those who really follow the HNC teachings, you already know the value of raiding and crystal cards. About 80% to 90% of my cards are crystal cards from raids, and my toon Neo is a top 3 toon. When I have time, I raid like a madman, though, to be honest, lately, life has not provided me that time. I'm still about 550 cards shy of a full deck. But raiding, and following my guidelines, should get you a lot of power.
Before my leaguemate Mike "The World Serpent Jormurgandr" Gibbon passed, he asked me how I was able to collect enough crystals to tier so many cards so fast. Some of the answers were obvious. Do Fight Club. Do patrols and missions. Do your dailies. Etc. But there's 2 factors a lot of folks seem to miss.
For 1 thing, the crystal multiplier cons are invaluable to a free/budget player using my systems. I know they cost MP or bux, but they are well worth it, and combined, multiply crystals by 3x. That can be huge if you plan out a crystal run, where you do as many as 3 full Fight Clubs at 1 time, collect your dailies, and run the right patrols. Even some bosses give crystals.
But here's one everyone seems to ignore. I admit, even I often pass it up due to the tediousness of it compared to other methods. Fortunately, you don't have to choose between methods. You can do them all. And this particular method can net you quite a bit of crystals on top of your other methods.
What is this method so many seem to ignore? Their friends list. If you go to your friends list, you can click on them, collect their crystals, hit the back button, and collect from the next. Now, in order to do this, you will need to enter the game from the main link. If you entered using a raid link or something similar, hitting the back button will take you back to the page where you clicked the link. So be sure to enter from the main login page when you use this method.
Now, you might be asking just how lucrative is it? Well, I only have 430 actual toon friends in my friend list. The rest of my team is made up of hired henchmen. That's the equivalent of only a level 430 toon, despite my toon closing on lvl 1100. So it's not like I have a ton more toon friends in my list than most of you. Many of you actually have more. But after using all my crystals to tier cards, I was down to 3. I went to my friends list, and in about 45 minutes, I collected another 2745. That's a huge chunk of tiering. I get between 5k and 6k for doing 3 Fight Clubs. So this is pretty big, if you want to take the time.
1 way to insure a good haul is to create as many dummy accounts as you can. These are like cash cows, but for crystals. These dummy accounts can ONLY have one friend, no matter their level, and that single friend is YOU. This allows you to accumulate crystals on them that NO ONE ELSE can collect. This maximizes your yield when you do collect from your friend list, as well as gives you quick access to high crystal volume friends for when you only have a little time to collect. Just scroll to where they are at and start collecting.
Good luck, heroes and villains. For those of you who follow me close, you know how valuable those crystals have become. Use every method you can to acquire them until your deck is fully crystal tiered.
