Life Crystal

Life Crystals are items containing charge that is useful in many processes, most notably animating.

They have two versions: A whole Life Crystal and a less powerful Life Crystal Fragment.

Obtaining[]

Drops[]

Whole Life Crystals drop from breaking Life Crystal Ore with any pickaxe.

A whole Life Crystal also drops from the Barrishee, with varying amounts of charge already drained.

Loot[]

Life Crystal Fragments can be found as Loot from chests in Cragrock Towers, the Wight Fortress, and the Labyrinthine Vaults and Barrishee Lair of the Sludgeon.

Uses[]

Charge[]

Each Life Crystal or Life Crystal Fragment can hold a certain amount of durability, or "charge", represented as a charge percentage tooltip (out of 100%). The crystal stores this charge for use in various processes, but is drained by a varying amount of charge whenever it is used (indicated both in the crystal's tooltip percentage and its increasingly dark coloration). If it reaches 0 charge, or if it doesn't have enough charge required for the process, it will not function.

Life Crystals and Life Crystal Fragments have the following charge-based uses:

One can be used in the Animator as a requirement for the animation process, draining a varying amount of charge per animation depending on what is being animated.
One can be used optionally in the Mortar to automate the grinding process, draining 1 charge per grind.
One can also be used optionally in the Infuser to automatically stir the liquid inside, draining 1 charge per stir (multiple stirs will usually occur throughout a single infusing process).

Recharging[]

Depleted, whole Life Crystals can be recharged by applying them with Wight's Hearts. Each heart applied to the Life Crystal restores 16 charge points to it, and any number between 1 and 8 can be crafted with the crystal at once (as long as the resulting charge is not higher than 128).

Result	Ingredients	Recipe
Charges Life Crystal (16 charge per heart)	Shapeless: Life Crystal (less than full charge) + Wight's Heart (1-8)

Fragment Differences[]

There are two differences between using whole Life Crystals and Life Crystal Fragments:

Whole Life Crystals have a maximum charge of 128, whereas Life Crystal Fragments only have a maximum charge of 64.
Whole Life Crystals can be recharged using Wight's Hearts, but Life Crystal Fragments cannot.
