Read around the forum the problem with the loot drop of aether crystals.
Since many Aether Curruption Monsters have aether crystals jutting out of there body … why not make aether crytals as a lootable item from these monsters too ?
What problem is that? They are super easy to get if you need any. The only time I’ve run out is when I’ve gone on a respec rampage. And then I just refilled at Burial Hill when I needed a few more.
