Colored Xan Crystals: the mobs that drop them

Post by Chrisax »

To be able to complete the Vortexx final instance (well... final at the time of writing hehehe), your need 4 crystals.

You need them only ONCE. Then you'll be able to do Vortexx again without other crystals.

Here are the mobs that have the best drop rates (crystals can drop more rarely from other mobs, for example, technicians can drop red too):
  • Engineers = Green
    Operators = Red
    Technicians = Blue
    Superior Commando = Gold
Engineers, Technicians, and Operators can be easily found in sector A. Be very careful: you can be swarmed! Especially when you arrive at the dig site, you can face crazy aggro. D'ont stay there too long, move to a side of the dig site.

Superior Commandos can be found in sector B, in the boss zone. And that's a pain because the mob is relmatively rare and the drop rates are not great.

You can find some of those mobs in others places, but sector A and B are by far the easiest places to farm in.

Not true. It just doesn't have a ton of spawns. You're guaranteed a couple of these every round of spawns. The bigger problem is that the spot is camped by everyone wanting Gold since its so much easier to hang out in this spot than it is to wander C-F for them. B is pretty much the ultimate farm spot if you have damage. I got all 4 colors in there (mostly because we were farming Gold and all others dropped first ... boss will drop all 4 colors).
