> [@Riffmaster](#): > > Larimar (add normal affix) and Topaz (add epic affix), that last two of which you cannot do unless your Eternal item is glitched by missing affix/es I think larimar and topaz can only be added to a eternal mythical sword/helm because it has 4 empty sockets that you can make a mythic from it. Affixes it has will be Mythical Set affix Mythology Chosen mythic missing affix missing affix missing affix (that you can use topaz and larimar) @VicBot: I usually use crystal legends as a base if I could use it as a build so I don’t use a lot of obsidian. I plan the build so that I won’t waste crystals. I list the affix that I need. I always raise the quality of the item so you need a lot of emerald. if the quality is at 0 you need 25 emerald. To max out item lvl you need peridot but usually it’s low number of uses > [@Rubik's Crystallography](http://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/rubiks-crystallography/1911): > > This thread will detail and describe the way that I save/manipulate/use Crystals in order to craft gear. This is, IMO, the best/most efficient method. First, all of the crystals. These are all the crystals in ascending order. Before anyone yells HAXOR!, these are NOT my crystals. The feat for converting and salvaging crystals is a great way to get higher level crystals. This is the method I use. X signifies a crystal that I DO NOT TOUCH. They will be the most important in… This helped me a lot on crafting. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/im-a-noob-how-much-crystal-need/3251)._
