The vital energy to bouldy crystals ratio should be addressed

Before anyone says “it’s a gacha game and you’re supposed to play a little every day!” I totally get it. I’m a longtime LN player so trust me, the grind is real… but the vital energy:bedrock crystal ratio is INSANELY expensive, even by Nikkiverse standards.

40 vital energy for 5 bedrock crystals when most items require at least 10 crystals is nuts. For crafting a 4-star outfit, you typically need around 90-95 bedrock crystals for the entire outfit.

This translates to 720-760 vital energy JUST spent on the specific type of bedrock crystals you need, which is unrealistic considering players need to spend vital energy on other realms for shining bubbles/threads/eureka/etc for gameplay.

I love the game and I generally think the other vital energy realms are fair for a gacha game, but the realm of darkness ratio just seems insane to me. If anyone else is frustrated and wants to send in a request, it would be MUCH appreciated :,) either more vital energy or a higher ratio of VE to crystals would be huge.

Sincerely, a girl who just wants to finish a 4* outfit
