Took apart some Heaven's Justices I found, with lv.3 maker...
-2 : 16 crystals
+2 : 12 crystals
+2 : 10 crystals
+2 : 13 crystals
Also forged an 89 atk 3 str Blue Screamer, using 1 low-grade black and 1 mid-grade power crystal. Not sure if the black crystal negatively affected atk or if it was just below average, as I didn't stim it. I'd like to test this more but I ran out of money (400k for the Screamer + 165k for the BC + 110k for Power adds up, not to mention cost of getting the ores)

I was checking the stuff needed to make a Reverse Equinox b/c I plan on going dexless Equinox soon (getting the last of my dex gear in check)...and I noticed that my Gem section only had 1 box with a line through it.
You're reading it wrong.
The [/] means the slot is
not usable.
There are four slots, so 1 [/] means
three open slots. They just don't have borders around them.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

Yeah I was thinking about higher-stat items spitting out more monster crystals and whether it would be worth it to 100% and/or use defense scrolls on them before disassembling.

I don't think Monster Crystals are worth enough to bother with that, I have 40-50 of all the level 80+ ones right now and I haven't hunted a single monster since the patch. The scarcity is in time ores and powders (which when I get back to training my Paladin, I'll probably hunt the specific colours I need)
Might be worth trying just to see what happens though. Overall dex 100%s are cheap. And if it helps like +1 crystal per scroll and you really need a specific level, you could do that to increase item efficiency.

It's the opposite story for me, I'm always loaded with powders, not enough Intermediate monster crystal 3s =/
And plus, if two 70k scrolls can bring up the produced monster crystal amount by just one, that's a good deal because monster crystals of pretty much all types sell easily for 200k+ each.

Disassembled a 100%ed overall last night, it gave me 13 crystals, when doing a clean one, i got 11. So i would say there is no difference.
