Crystals, also called Shards or Clusters, are items in Final Fantasy XIV that serve as catalysts used in item synthesis. They can be obtained by completing quests, defeating enemies, gathering, trading with merchants, desynthesizing, or completing venture/airship voyages. The crystals usually contain elemental energy, although they can be drained of their elemental aspect, which are called deaspected crystals. Crystals do not take up space in the player's inventory and have a separate inventory tab where the player can store up to 9999 of each crystal.
