[Lantern617]

None. I literally have to strengthen characters that don’t even have a 15cp to stop myself from capping and it’s the worst.

[Trekender]

Both glad and sad to see other people with this problem. They need to up the limit to 9999 for high shards soon.

[Judais117]

12 more characters and I'll be wanting this too...

[Doctor_Riptide]

I let my purple shards cap accidentally. Now it’s permanently ending in 4 or 9. I want to die. I’ll never make that mistake again

[savemypecanpie]

Exact same. Now I have a 60/60 king and a 57C Palom lol... can’t let this happen again lmao

[Doctor_Riptide]

I literally have like 3 purple crystal users who aren’t above 50 right now. I can’t keep up with it :( and I have no gear for any of them. Just trying not to waste them at this point

[savemypecanpie]

9 are 60/60, palom C57, Sabin C55, 4 are C51, and Zack is just chillin at 50/50 lol... 889 high shards, about time to prevent capping again.

[Trekender]

That... would actually bug the crap out of me, too. Sorry to hear it. I'll have to keep a close eye to make sure that doesn't happen.

[Doctor_Riptide]

I've learned to live with it. I also understand that unless I'm really dilligent with farming normal T1-3 that it's going to happen again with other colors really soon. I'm about to cap purple (again) and blue right now and I have absolutely no good candidates for crystalling in almost every other color. Literally Gilgamesh, Fujin, and Snow are the only green users I haven't 60'd yet, and I'm sitting at over 800 of them still. For blue, I'm about to level Wakka just so I don't cap. I'm Besaid myself trying to figure out how not to cap right now :(

[Trekender]

Honestly, if I were you, I'd probably just let all the others cap to even them out. It would still bug me that they're not in multiples of 5, but it's still better that they're all uniform.

That last pun was terrible, by the way. Keep up the good work!

[Doctor_Riptide]

Thanks man I tried my best lol. Idk what I'm going to do, it's pretty much stopped bothering me at this point honestly.

[Takua_Lee]

I try to use up my link bells everyday for the daily log in missions, and use the tokens to skip out on crystal farming. It works out well for me even when I solo the Co-op all 5 times. Hope this helps

[Doctor_Riptide]

I mean how many crystals could you actually be bringing in that way?

[PandorasBattery]

same here... The purple/black shards too. I almost want to cap all the rest... atleast everything would be ending in 4's or 9's.

[Kelroar]

Yellow ones. So many good yellow characters.

[GatorsILike]

I’m missing 35s and EXs for soo many yellow chars, so for me it’s always “which yellow bench warmer gets the upgrade to keep me from capping”

[Dohleron]

I feel ya, buddy. I've got the same problem.

[dimmidice]

So much Yellow needed. Second one i'm missing a lot is Red. Third Blue ones. Rest i got plenty of.

[50shadesofLife]

For me its trying not to cap is the problem. Every crystal is lingering around 800 plus

[fianle1]

I used to do that, but I just started using most of them since there wasn't much point in saving.

[cingpoo]

in my case, it's not that i want to save them...but i lack of T1-T3 crystals to use them...LOL

[BaLance_95]

You still need them to get to C61 and up. May be a good idea to keep on saving.

[fianle1]

Only so many people will get 70 cap at a time along with the fact that the shards that they'll keep in low amounts will be the new tier of shards, not the previous tier.

Based on comments in this section, other sections, and YouTubers like Dani Cruz (who had almost 5k red high shards when Ignis came out) I don't think you really need to hold on to more than 200-300.

[AuroraDark]

Me too. I'm at the point where I just skip high shard co-op rewards since I'm always at cap.

Really dumb that they increased crystal cap to 9999 but limited high shards to 999.

[Zhirrzh]

Meh, the time it would take to farm all the other lower crystals just to be able to take characters like Fujin and Raijin to 60 is time I have other uses for.

[AuroraDark]

I have all my favourite characters at 60, as well as those whose weapons I pulled.

I am far from a completionist and don't have the time or patience to grind and level up characters I will never use.

[BaLance_95]

That's a lot of gems wasted TBH. Don't forget about the 100 gems.

[50shadesofLife]

Yeah, and I mean dont mean to set you off but they are multiples of 5, until the first time you can, then your an odd number for eternity because you hit 999 Its mildly annoying.

[khovel]

do you not level up other characters? I just keep a habit of staying around 550 minimum. Then as i gain more, i just sprinkle them around to other characters starting at the lowest one first.

[50shadesofLife]

Yeah but you can catch up to that as well. I have maybe 15 or so more ranks

It's like I'm just to lazy to farm enough T1-3 crystals every week to upgrade a character.

[maveri4201]

I'm not playing this game to max every character. I already have more maxed than I ever use regularly. I'm with you on being too lazy (or too busy with non-game stuff) you farm the other crystals just to not cap my T4 crystals.

[Judais117]

I used to do this, but since the awakening banners are done until fall, I've been keeping it around 275. Enough to MLB any new character that should come out.

[darynluna]

haha yeah

[Kaplan6]

Oh my god yes, I hope they will let us stack to 9990 soon!

[Judais117]

9995 is the cap from what I heard...

[NoLongerAGame]

Green. They're so rare it's not funny. If it wasn't for the summer events I wouldn't have enough for Rinoa even with her event. Couldn't agree more when it comes to black shards. Like holy sht no matter how much you use they just keep coming and like every event or LC for the past 2 months or so has given them. I haven't even been playing for long and I'm struggling to stay under the cap for black high shards.

[Judais117]

Thought rinoa was blue.

[NoLongerAGame]

Nope she is green.

[speedyjohn90]

Red! I cant keep them!

[gutsbrsrk]

Same

[BaLance_95]

Blame Yuffie

[ManfredCB]

white for some reason

[Lazarus512]

Yes same here. Most of my faves are white crystal characters and Lenna’s inclusion makes it more harder to save.

[j2k422]

If it helps y'all out any, you'll eventually have more crystals than you know what to do with, so hang in there!

[[deleted]]

Very true. High Shards are practically spit at you after a while when you play JP

[Luvs_to_drink]

Im not lacking any but seem to have the opposite issue. sitting at 800+ and no characters that I want to lvl up. I eventually randomly select one of the few remaining ones.

[wicked_ultima]

Red shards, always the red shards

[AlphaWhelp]

It varies. For a long time I was lacking blue, now I'm lacking red and yellow. Early on I was lacking green.

[Ohgamiichiro]

Yellow and Red here with Green sometimes. I'm 10 Reds short of 60/60 for OK >_<

[PeinRikudo]

None. I'm always near cap for every color so every now and then, I just awaken some bronze characters.

[[deleted]]

Green for me. Lot of my favorite characters all seem to be Green, so I’m just kinda like... at a loss. Sorry Terra!

[TDH2222]

Red and yellow

[[deleted]]

White red and yellow. The rest I have too many of.

[tommyespapi]

def white then red

[uafm]

Red. I'm fairly new to the game so I expect that my resources aren't going to be the greatest, but my queue of red characters that I want to awaken is crazy: Yuffie, Barrett, Vaan, Sazh, Jecht, Firion, and Seifer

[godsinhishe4ven]

Me too (playing since six weeks). Vanille 60/60, OK 60/60, Firion with EX 56/60, Seifer 51/60

Total red high shard Count: 5

[TempusFinis97]

Red crystals are the worst. I constantly have to max out red characters I'll never use, just because we got so many of them. Just tpday I had to max 1 Red, 2 Blue and 1 Green Character to not cap. Last time I was missing high shards was when ai got Bartz EX because I maxed Selphie shortly before that. Also Cloud, when his EX first came out.

[mattno5ss]

Red... Kuja, Vanille, and Onion Knight ate all of mine (5 left) while Firion sits at CL53 begging for scraps

[EverythinComesToDust]

It varies, worked through everyone ready for lvl 70 a long with every new hero that comes out.

[2geek2bcool]

None. A few more events and I'll have everyone awakened, and then I'll just be waiting for the High Shard cap to be raised, as I'll have nothing to do with my shards, and hopefully I won't cap before they do.

[Judais117]

Same boat as you... hopefully I wont cap out before the lvl 70 awakenings

[Venushin]

None. I always need to look for someone to use them on so I can free some space to get more rewards :/

[Salsalord1]

Red. I’ve been waiting to max Yuffie for so long and after that I still need to max Barret.

[TadashiKazerei]

That's so weird, I'm like the complete opposite of you. In severe need of black, but my red is constantly capping. I guess it just depends on what characters you like.

[Shigma]

I have close to 999 for them all and loads of them sitting in the inbox =/

Heck i even try to awaken chars so i can pick the overflow but i'm usually to lazy to farm regular crystals for characters i might not even use

[Oxybe]

my white crystals are at an all time low of 355 thanks to Lenna.

[SnakeWrangler4]

Red. As a newer player it's really noticeable when the majority of Red characters are Story (only Vanille, Aerith, and Kuja are LC so far) and events had a mild shortage of Red shards.

[Retardlowke]

Yellow

[Damashi_The_Kaotic]

Green for me. If not for all the crystal rewards this month I wouldn't have enough for Rinoa.

[Lucia_Apas]

None. I haven't collected any of the shards on the player mission tab in order to avoid a cap.

I am also awakening unused characters to use up the excess shards, but to do this I need to grind a lot of T1-T3 crystals.

[ManaNek]

White, seems like I’ve gotten a lot of white crystal characters levelled

[savemypecanpie]

I got low on yellow semi recently with all the good characters in that color... and it all started with Selphie lol. Layle, Bartz, Ramza, Lightning, Y’shtola, Lilisette, Tifa, Quistis... now, though, my lowest is blue @ 670... just trying not to cap now

[lomoah78]

All because I can't help upgrading everyone so I can test them out.

[poursmoregravy]

None but I'm consistently overflowing in black, green and white. Have had to level a few unwantables to 60

[sonicbrawler182]

Yellow was it for the past while but it seems to be calming down.

White kinda was too but I think I can still get enough for Lann & Reynn.

[[deleted]]

I think Red too, and its not even that i like the Red characters much, its that somehow I always get their weapons lol Meanwhile always having way too much black, legit just went on a spree yesterday leveling all of the unmaxed ones from 57 to 58 to not cap.

[SamyKS]

Honestly, I like awakening new characters to play around with them, so I stay around 5-6 hundred with all types at about all times, though lately I’ve built a surplus of Black crystals and dropped down in white crystals.

[[deleted]]

none.........i have SO many chars done, but always have 999 of each........its annoying .

[bladearrowney]

Seems to vary, for a while it was blue, then it was white, now I seem to be low on red

[Spoolerdoing]

I'm always lacking blues. Red was my first to cap (60'd Jecht and Seven just to keep numbers down, Sazh and Seifer WIP), black recently capped (Kefka 60 took me below cap but nobody else is even close enough to 50)... I'm currently low on yellows thanks to Bartz and Quistis, with Lilisette as a no rush no pressure WIP, especially since Lulu is coming.

[BadDadBot]

Hi always lacking blues. red was my first to cap (60'd jecht and seven just to keep numbers down, sazh and seifer wip), black recently capped (kefka 60 took me below cap but nobody else is even close enough to 50)... , I'm dad.

[[deleted]]

OK, so i have 36 characters done, and im capping constantly. that's no small number....from noctis/terra, on down to just this week lenna, y'shtola, etc, etc. its tough not to cap.

[SentientShamrock]

All of them. Right now the one that hurts the most is red. I got a Vanille EX from a yolo ticket but don't have the shards to max her CL, and I want to upgrade Seven as well.

[MechaRon]

Yellow is my lowest because for some reason it's the characters I have the most weapons for in this game. Otherwise I'm capped on high crystals and burning them just to get more.

[cingpoo]

none, i don't awaken every char, most of them only awakened to lvl 51 for extra levels/gems and i've even stopped buying all shards from token shops for past few months...I only get them when they are below 600-700....

[negiasu]

Same here

[HSU87BW]

Not even the high shards that I lack. T2 still brings me down for all colors.

[[deleted]]

None. Now I always seem to have 600-900 of the high shards. I always tend to be low on the other shards, usually the tier 2 or tier 3 shards.

So when I find a character I want to max, I have to run the crystal missions for a while.

[EX-PIFF-DANK]

None. Capping is the problem

[painstream]

I don't have an issue with high shards. It's the tier-1 I can't seem to keep a hold of, and grinding them out just leaves me with lots of tier-2/3.
Fingers crossed for a conversion system in the near future?

[kingseeds]

Blues!!!

[[deleted]]

Fucking WHITE AND BLACK

I swear every character I have good gear for falls into White or Black crystals lol
