*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, the base monetary value of the materials used in crafting the Crystalarium can be recovered 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).

*Only 7 in-game hours is required to replicate [[Quartz]], the shortest time span for any mineral.

Refined Quartz can also be produced directly in a [[Recycling Machine]] from [[Broken Glasses]] and [[Broken CD]]s, without needing coal.

**Five Quartz can be traded at the [[Desert Trader]] for 1 [[Bomb]], making the replication of Quartz in Crystalariums a more efficient method of obtaining Bombs than purchasing them from the [[Dwarf]]'s shop for {{price|600}} each.
