* The most profitable gem to grow for money is Diamond at {{price|150}} per day assuming the player harvests the gem as soon as it is ready (5 days). This means you will offset the cost of the crystalarium's materials and start making a profit after ~31 days.

* The most profitable gem to replicate is the [[Diamond]], yielding a profit of {{price|150}} per day if harvested as soon as it is ready (five days). At this rate, you can recover the base monetary value of the materials used in crafting the Crystalarium in about 32 days (not including a Diamond used to seed it, nor any increase in the value of the crafting materials due to profession bonuses).
* Putting [[Quartz]] in several Crystalariums is one of the most efficient ways to obtain [[Refined Quartz]], due to it only taking 7 hours to produce.

* Only 7 hours is required to replicate [[Quartz]], the shortest time span for any mineral. While the Crystalarium is thus an efficient source of Quartz for making [[Refined Quartz]], Quartz is found abundantly during mining and making Refined Quartz still requires [[Coal]] for smelting. Refined Quartz can also be produced directly in a [[Recycling Machine]] from some types of fishing forage, without coal.

* '''Exploit''' your Crystalarium when you wish to change the item it produces. Normally, you need to seed it with one item of the new type. But you can feed it a Quartz instead. When a replicated Quartz appears, do not harvest it. Instead, take an item of the new type and feed it into the Crystalarium while it still displays the new Quartz. That Quartz will magically turn into the item you fed into the Crystalarium. You can now harvest that item, having effectively seeded the machine with a Quartz. If you want to preserve the Quartz as well, simply harvest the first one and re-seed with the second Quartz the Crystalarium produces.
