Pretty sure you can buy lvl 10 crystals from a vendor in Astral Academy.

Besides.... if you're converting all your keys for astral loot, what ya need a ship for?

Yeah buy them from the Demon Hunter NPC in Astral Academy. Lowest option when talking to her is Buy 10th gen Crystals - 32g/crystal.

If you go to AMI you will loot Gen 11 Parts there, often epics. You can also get Gen 11 crystals from there by trading with Demon Hunter NPC inside the hangar.

For Gen 10 parts you could go to Monster Dens.

For both of these I guess you'd need to yell around town for parties until you personally had a ship to handle them, but anything is possible if ya got the moves!

I'm like duuude it's really not that hard to get on an AMI/MD team with guild/randoms is it?

OK I have yet another suggestion for you. You make around 500g/allod in S3 just from the non-upgrader loot you get and the gold for killing the 4 bosses. If you have alchemy as a profession or loot an epic chest then you make far more.

What this means is that you only need 1 other person in your party to hire 2 mercs each and you will break even on your runs as well as looting parts and crystals. It's not hard to fly in S3 even with the basic gen 9 ship and so long as the merc-monkey you picked up is fixing the shields, you'll be fine.

Yes, you will have to unlock the shop to buy the gen 11 crystals there. You can do this via AMI or the Control of Trade quest. Again, ask in guild or Novo/Nezeb for parties. Good luck, adios, chachacha.

P.s. Hope this was helpful and not just a pain in the butt cos you were trying to push your idea for crystals and parts from Wellebell loot

Quoted from "Auther_Pendragon"

The fact that we can now get gear by farming the loot zones instead of going astral is great but it has created another problem. It is now much harder to find someone with a ship that can sail in the astral. Converting keys instead of doing allods is leaving us short on ships to go to allods in.

My suggestion is making it so when you trade a key for extra loot conversion you also be given a random part and some crystals. This will allow people who can't go astral due to missing people or lack of a ship good enough to go to build their ship up so later it will be able to handle astral.

Getting crystals and ship parts must be done in astral. Getting gear is done by fighting enemies, be it in allods or the wild shore. I would actually love it if sailing around, killing demons, maybe killing a boss demon in various astral sectors was actually a way of gearing up your ship.

But getting ship parts and crystals for wellebell farming? No. It makes no sense. Why get parts for something you're not using? The logic I have is that you should upgrade something by using it to get the upgraders. You have to use your gear to get better gear, and you should have to use your ship to get a better ship.
