Make Nether Crystals Exchangeable With NPC

[bold iris]

Can you please make the crystals tradeable with an npc so we dont have to break thousands of crystals, you may nerf the amount of gems we receive because I genuinly will trash them and not break them as they take time which I barely have. It would be fair such as mining and fishing to trade them for gems.
Some players like myself love to grind nether instead of fishing and mining and it feels a bit unfair that we have to do the extra work to get our gems while fishing and mining can just trade them for gems.

P.S: When you have 100 stacks of 999 it starts to get annoying even if they are one hit.

They are one hit brother

if you barely have time you probably dont have 100 stacks of nc

It is because I grind nether all day I dont have time to waste breaking cyrtsals for gems, also it has to be fair because nether requires actually playing to finish it unlike fishing where you can idle and go on auto pilot for the most of the time. Mining also takes 2-3 mins per run and you can trade the stones for gems, imagine you have to break the stones you collect from mining or idk skinning the fish you get for gems that would require one hit per fish, same concept. This idea does not hurt anyone in anyway, neither the economy nor the player base and since we cannot buy gems properly this could make the game somehow balanced again

fair does not equal to "make all 3 progression paths intended to be different use the same system of selling x material to y npc"

if u want a faster way to break nc, sure, but dont do it in this lazy fish barrel bum way

Why does it matter for you? I'm pretty sure you don't even play nether much

[elfin thorn]

i try to be well prepared for most progression paths but its kinda hard to find the fun in that if people just try to make it the same as another with nothing new other than theming and a different repeat minigame

Well suggest an idea if you have besides just complaining, you are arguing for the sake of it. The devs can come up with a better way to get the gems out of the crystals in a way it is balanced to other gem farming methods. Breaking thousands of crystals is unnecessary work. My point is that when I'm done leveling up I will have no reason to play nether and instead just afk fish or low effort mine.
