Crystal Sharing and Pendant Making

[fivemilesdeep]

Thanks to this series of questions, we know that characters can receive multiple crystals for passing trials multiple times, and that they can use these extra crystals to make extra pendants and/or help shore up anyone who hasn't managed to get four crystals. To that end:

Who would've gotten extra crystals?

Who needs extra crystals?

And who, if anyone, would have figured this out ICly? Who would take it the extra step of making pendants for people who aren't currently here/can't leave the train/may arrive in the future?

Feel free to use this post to hash out who needs what, and remember to report your results (if you have extra crystals/pendants, if crystals used to make a pendant were received from someone else, etc) on the event OOC post here!

IMPORTANT NPC-ADDED EDIT: Each cavern crystal resists against the type of illusion from that cavern; please note what crystals you're donating to the cause!

IMPORTANT NPC-ADDED EDIT, THE SEQUEL: Only three crystals per trial can be obtained, which means a character can have up to two spares of each.

EDIT: Current crystal availability is as follows:
Perception: 14
Heart: 11
Mind: 11
Endurance: 11

This is the count after needed crystals are accounted for (the two Mind crystals for Siebren and Soldat, the Perception and Heart crystals for Ken, and the Perception and Endurance crystals for Emporio). At this point (as of 6/28), 11 extra pendants could be made.

Yondu should still have three spares:

Perceiving
Heart
Mind

[namethattune]

Siebren would like that Mind crystal, please, because he's definitely not managing that one himself. ;;;

[yondu]

He got you boi don't worry your pretty head about it.

[voidtreckernpcs]

Just to pop in here and let you know that each cavern crystal resists against the type of illusion from that cavern; so you'll want to note what crystals you're donating to the cause.

(More about the crystals will be on the mod post at the end of the month! For us the nerds.)

[fivemilesdeep]

Thank you! The edit has been added to the body of the post.

[voidtreckernpcs]

Just as a note since amounts are getting spoken for: only three crystals per trial can be obtained. After that, you stop getting any more.

[fivemilesdeep]

Thank you! That edit has been added as well.

Jingyi would have two spare ones from Endurance, specifically, since it's the only one he thought was "fun" and would have gone through several times as a personal challenge for himself! He's happy donating/handing off to anyone who asks because they need it, and might fashion charms of just those crystals if no one else is going "hey why not make spare multi-crystal pendants?"

Ah, also one spare for Perceiving, because he'll realise he should go through that again the last day.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Koumyou will have as many spares as the caves will give him, as he's gone into all several times a day.

(And since this is stuff he already teaches, he 'passes' pretty easily.)

And he could easily think to ask the monks if they can be given to other passengers either to fill in a pendant, or whole. He's been dealing with them a lot about fish as it is.

[worthallthis]

If somebody has a spare Mind crystal, that uh. Might be nice to drop on Soldat, who absolutely failed that one, and knowing the crystal corresponds to the same kind of illusion means they'll continue to be vulnerable to fear-based illusions going forward >.>

I can live without it, I do like making Soldat confront their fears, but just in case somebody has a spare!

[yondu]

Yondu's getting another Mind crystal with Emporio so I can have him give that one to Soldat if he wants.

[worthallthis]

You're such a good friend Yondu! ;.; Soldat says they don't deserve it, but they'll take it anyway

[yondu]

Soldat is good at telling lies he's convinced himself of. Pot to kettle blah blah

[weifinder]

Wei Wuxian would have:

Heart
Endurance
Perceiving x 2 (He ran this multiple times because it felt like the best exercise to him)

He really, really did not want to go through Mind more than once, but if someone on the last day is mentioning they need it, he'll pretend to be fine with it and head off to help them get the crystal, or do it again on his own and come out with one as needed to hand off. Basically hit me up here to let me know!

If none of these are needed, he'll get extra single-crystal pendants made to donate to the Voidtrekker train as a whole.

Rich will have three spare crystals for Endurance and Mind, because he's been confronting his fears since like he got here. And he's stubborn as hell so he just kept banging his head against the Endurance one until he got it.

He should be able to squeak by on the other challenges, but probably won't get any extras. But if anyone needs for the first two, let me know!

[sciencegirl]

Entrapta could use both an Endurance and a Mind ty.

[firewalled]

He'd be very happy to help her out! Poor Entrapta, the Mind trial was a rough one for a lot of characters.

[sciencegirl]

Oh she knew she wouldn't make it through them so she didn't even try. The joys of having a major weakness to illusions. She'll be very grateful and outright admit she's too bad at things.

[firewalled]

She's not too bad at things though! Rich thinks she's super smart and talented. This is one of the few things he's decent at.

[sciencegirl]

She is 100% okay with being bad at some things so long as someone helps her out!

[firewalled]

And Rich is just happy to actually be able to help someone out!

[likeadragonfish]

Both Reno and Kasuga would have extra crystals since they volunteered themselves to help others finish trials after they completed and made pendants of their own. So they would have figured out they get another crystal for completing them again.

Both would max out the number of crystals they can acquire for all the trials. Although Reno may stop helping after that and Kasuga would continue to help others complete trials themselves even when he doesn't get anymore for himself.

[controlsthedie]

Than will donate 4 extra crystals. Perception was done to test himself with what he eventually learned, and Heart was easy... possibly for the wrong reasons, but the cave will get its "revenge" on him later.

Perception: 2
Heart: 2

[sciencegirl]

Even if they're not acquainted, any way Entrapta could handwavedly find out he has spares? That way between Than and Rich she could get a whole pendant.

[controlsthedie]

As long as someone has a need for it, he'll give the crystals, so yes! Entrapta can have whatever she needs for her pendant.

[controlsthedie]

1 heart crystal is going to Persephone
1 heart crystal is going to Entrapta
1 perception crystal is going to Entrapta

So Than has 1 perception crystal left to give out

[hotheadwarmheart]

Lea will have an extra Heart crystal to donate.

[miseris_socios]

Ken needs Perception and Heart, if people have one of each that they can toss him.

[fivemilesdeep]

It looks like there will be more than enough extras for this. :Db

[motherofresistance]

Leia Will have an extra Perceiving crystal to add to the pile.

[fivemilesdeep]

Ryo will have two extra Mind to donate, since he keeps helping people with that one.

Siebren will have two extra Perception to donate, for the same reason.

[sciencegirl]

Entrapta needs a whole ass pendant since illusions are her main weakness.

[luckydragonsfoot]

Jonouchi would have feasibly gotten a 'heads up' on being able to do multiple trials/earn crystals a number of times more, and since he's already worried about others (coughConancough), would have therefore forced himself to go through for the max number of times (and honestly he's been helping around as it is).

Fortunately he's had a relatively okay go at all these- but since he's keeping one spare set for MisterMcSkeptic, he's technically only donating one of each crystal.

ETA: un-donated pendant is no longer going to be shoved at conan, it's going to Ayumi instead (hopefully)

[seacub]

Emporio also got extras, though they're being noted here more because he might pull from the pool to complete the spare haha.

Specifically, he received a spare Heart and Mind crystal- but he'll be clear about wanting to use those toward a pendant for Donatello.

[fivemilesdeep]

He can definitely get a spare perception and endurance crystal!

[seacub]
