A fully-mined.

Quartz Crystal Formations are resource nodes. A node can be unlocked in your home instances by using a Gift of Quartz. Each node can be mined 3 times once per day, per account (or per character in the Crystal Desert).

Gathering results

Each of three strikes yields:

  • Quartz Crystal.pngQuartz Crystal (1) (guaranteed)
  • Ore nodes in Cantha can rarely yield additional resources:
