What to do with Carbon Crystals now?

[Marcus]

I've crafted everything to max and i get Carbon Crystals from loots here and there. Can't sell those so what's the point in having em ?

You're talking about silica i think

yah keep them for DLCs as we dont know if they are needed yet.

I also wonder what kind of "carbon crystal" they might be - graphite or diamond?

I'd say the latter, but why aren't they called "diamonds" then?

When I bought them from Reda's chest I thought I was getting more than 1 for 3000 but it's a rip off there I guess...is that a clue?

From Wikipedia:

Carbon forms a vast number of compounds, more than any other element, with almost ten million compounds described to date, and yet that number is but a fraction of the number of theoretically possible compounds under standard conditions. For this reason, carbon has often been referred to as the "king of the elements".

Yeah I remembered the wrong thing. New DLCs will bring new upgrades. You can use them there.

I doubt any DLCs will allow us to craft hidden blade etc any more since its already maxed out, they only mentioned increasing level cap

They should allow us to sell it cuz that's the only option?

I'm a hoarder in video games so I hold onto everything just in case it becomes useful again at some point.

I don't know if you will need them in the Hidden Ones DLC for anything and it's most likely doubtful that you will, but I would at least wait and see as Skeletor has mentioned above.

You need Carbon Crystals for Hidden Ones DLC. They added 1-2 levels to all your gear upgrades.

dont worry about going into the DLC without any, when you loot stuff you get like 3 at once now

Post Hidden Ones: Bought 7/20 from Nomad's Bazaar to begin upgrades. Upgrades complete, and have 22 Carbon left over and haven't looted everything yet.

Curse of the Pharaohs will obviously use more. All else being the same with 2 more upgrade slots per item with item upgrade cost in carbon scaling normally, it's nice to have a head start.

Yes they are needed again in DLC but what about players who are happy with just the game and won't ever buy any dlc? Wouldn't they want to sell those rather than keeping it in inventory? XD
