If you want to look through those threads for any new information you can, I didn't see anything though. You can see from the first link how much EXP the maker quests give, they're quite easy and very worth while.

Diamond, sapphire, garnet, opal, amethyst, aquamarine, topaz, emerald
Low-grade: 70%
Mid-grade: 25%
High-grade: 5%

Power/wisdom/luk/dex crystals
Low-grade: 75%
Mid-grade: 24%
High-grade: 1% (lol)

Black/dark crystals
Low-grade: 67.5%
Mid-grade: 30%
High-grade: 2.5%

A bit of a disappointment. It looks like high-grade stat crystals will be around 50-100mil+ each once inflation really sets in on these crystals.

This is some more interesting info gleaned from those sources with google translate and my limited knowledge of Chinese:
- With the appropriate level of Maker, you can only create equipment of your own class and of up to five levels above that of your character
- Black/dark crystals having the possibly to subtract stats is confirmed
- The quest for level 1 Maker doesn't require any items
- Level 2 Maker requires a mid-grade monster crystal C
- Level 3 Maker requires 6 gold plates, 2 steel plates, and 1 refined lidium
- Level 110 armor requires 5 dragon spirits and scales each, level 110 weapons require 20 dragon spirits and scales
- Level 120 reversal armor requires 15 time fragments, reversal weapons require 45 time fragments
- Level 120 timeless armor requires 1 time stone, timeless weapons require 3 time stones (the teardrop-looking things)

Time stones must come from a source other than pink bean then because several people in pink bean videos hold timeless weapons. I'm pretty sure none of the time temple monsters or horntail would drop timeless equipment. Time temple monsters probably drop time fragments, though that would be kind of redundant to have time stones be forged from time fragments or to have time stones also drop from time temple monsters. Maybe the stones only drop from the bosses in time temple.

So wait then, if this is true, and the prices for high grade settle around either 50 or 100 mil, then wouldn't mid grade respectively be 5-10 mil and low 500k - 1mil? Would it be right to then assume that a clean refined crystal would be around 1.3 mil? All conjecture of course.

So in 100 Crystals...
75->Low = 7 Mid
7+ 24->Mid = 3 High
3+ 1->High = 4 High

~25 Crystal per High Grade = ~12mil at current Dex Crystal prices, 6-8mil for the others And you say that'll quadruple or better? Sounds like a good investment.
