In the latest Golden Age ROM update, in addition to changes to the items in the store, adding more options for purchasing crystals, increasing the number of weekly monster plates, and adding the option to purchase the guardian recovery potion with crystals, we also saw changes to crystal gathering across the map. Furthermore, we also saw changes to the mining bonuses for guardians starting at epic rarity, which were doubled.
So, let's delve deeper into all the changes that have occurred in crystal mining within the Golden Age ROM and seek to understand the potential impacts these changes may have on the CRYSTAL token, which, along with CROM, is the main token in the Golden Age ROM tokenomics. Come find out now!

[ENGLISH VERSION]
Crystal Farming Has Increased
We noticed in the latest Golden Age ROM content that more items to be purchased with crystals were added to the in-game store. Thus, with more options that may end up increasing the demand for crystals, another change came in this latest NFT game update, related to the in-game crystal farm. Guardians are now collecting more crystals in maps and dungeons that have this crystal symbol next to them. The increase was approximately 2x more crystals, which may allow players to consume more of these resources from the shop that require crystals or use them to craft items.
Furthermore, not only did the crystal drop rate increase, but guardians of epic rarity and above received a significant buff to their crystal drop bonus as well. Epics, for example, saw a 50% increase in crystal drop rates, going from 50% to 100%. This now makes a significant difference because they double the amount of crystals farmed, which also received a bonus. This creates a significant difference between players with these guardians compared to players with rare or lower guardians.
Impacts on the CRYSTAL Token
The point is that players have the ability to choose what they want to do with the crystals they farm in-game. They can end up consuming all the extra crystals they farm by purchasing the new items, but they can also choose to create the CRYSTAL token and sell it on the PNIX DEX exchange or in-game. This may be exactly what's happening, as the CRYSTAL token has been falling over the past day, dropping from $0.61 to nearly $0.51 in the last 24 hours.
I believe the amount of crystal players are obtaining in-game from maps and dungeons with their guardians has increased so much that the demand for the token isn't growing proportionally. This could cause players to stop buying the token on the marketplace, as they won't need more crystals. For those with epic or higher rarity guardians, they received two buffs to crystal collection, which could cause them to farm more than they need for their account consumption, generating selling pressure on the marketplace.
