Can I use exquisite focus crystals?

[Treenus]

So I've been working on getting my guardian fsd booster and one of the reqs. Is focus crystals. This may be a dumb question but can I use exquisite or refined crystals for this because I can't find just "focus crystals" (no adjectives). Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough though. Thank you

shoot something, they drop them all the time, you can exchange your EFC for them at mat traders, but they are better kept for PD enhancement or shield boosters I think

I must have ♥♥♥♥ luck then lmao. Thanks for the tips, I'll shoot even more things.

Dav's hope.

You can thank me later.

Material trader...for 1exquisite focus crystal you can get 36 focus cristals...

exquisite focus crystals are given as missions reward very often at boom state systems...

yeah..I think I had a hundy of those before any other G5 still seems a waste for something else that is everywhere as well though

Dude, best advise there is: outfit your most capable ship with as many Passenger Cabins as you can, 2 biggest Business, rest Economy. Go to Robigo Mines, start doing Sothis sight seeing missions, stack as much as you can. With this you kill that many birds:
- You will increase your rank with local factions giving you more of those missions.
- You will become billionaire in no time if you choose money reward, or need quick, reliable cash grind.
- These missions are the ONLY reliable way in the game to get Exquisite Focus Crystals and Biotech Conductors which you can exchange for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of lower tier mats.
- You will be often seeing mission offering 4-5 of these mats per run, which you can stack, which means you top off 100 in no time.

You will not thank me later, you will ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ find me in the galaxy to express your love after you do this, mark my words.

Edit: as Wildcard pointed out below, you can't do this in any Large Ship, forgot to mention, my bad.

oh, not true, like AA said, practically any system in boom will spawn both all the time in missions

See, there's difference between few missions, which may be taking you to different places and unreliable rewards and Robigo, which offers very reliable stream of those mats and you're just going in quick 3-4 jump loop for that.

actually, you guy's have reminded me I have a bunch of cabins that have been sitting doing nothing in robigo for almost 2 years now, i'm gonna sell those things next time i'm ingame

MATERIALS TRADER FFS, no one knows about this!

I don't sell my modules unless I was pressed for credits. I'd rather be able to transfer something to me than have a few more credits in my account that won't collect interest or be useful. It sucks to get to a station and see crazy missions you want to take but they don't have modules, and the nearest outfitting is too far so you just transfer your modules and you're set. It could take an hour or so, but that's not a big deal if you're putzing around anyhow.

if that is directed at me, I have a full inventory of G5 eng'ed modules that I really need to off load some of
credits I have no use for, I had forgot the passenger cabins were stored out there, and those i'm far more willing to part company with than something I have bothered to G5

I have too many G5 level modules, I cannot part with any as I feel I have too much time invested in them.

What I did sell recently was the largest fuel scoop available since I don't plan on ever taking that ship anywhere I need a fuel scoop that size. I just transfer it if needed.

Go to a material trader and trade some exquisite for a ton of regular focus crystals
