I am now at Lv 31 but I noticed that when I smelt my RARES at the Blacksmith in order to get materials and most importantly Veiled Crystals, most of the time I do NOT get any Crystal back.
As a comparison, my friends at similar level have about 60+ crystals and I barely got 20 or 25 so far,
I normally mark objects as “Junk” and then smelt Junk, and this does not return Crystals.
I tried to empty my inventory, do not mark any item as Junk and use the option “All Items” and that returned Crystals for all Items I smelted in that session, it was only 5 but was successful.
This is however not consistent, I tried again another package of 5 later on same way and got NO Crystals.
Never had this issue in BETA, i do not believe is working as intended compared to all my friends… I am the only one with this issue.
Making my Imprinting really difficult, kindly let me know if this is as Intended.
Thank you.

I am basically broke because i cant afford to not to salvage “rare” gear for the, what seems to be, abnormally low chance to get “Veiled Crystal” materials.
The drop chances do not seem to increase or decrease based the quality or price of the “rare” gear. Hence why i have to salvage all rares. This is an issue, because that means the only type of gear i can sell to make any large sums of gold is “common” and “magic” items, which obviously dont yeild as much gold as rares.
Veiled Crystal drop rate might not be a dev “bug”, but it definitely is something they should make an enhancment for in a patch soon.
Rezz’ing this topic.
The drop rates for Veiled Crystals seems to be insanely low for how important it is especially in the endgame. Heck I have more Forgotten Souls and Fiend Roses than I do Veiled Crystals!
This seems like a big issue for me too. Tried searching for some tips to accumulate them quicker but there doesn’t seem to be any.
If i salvage a full inventory of sacreds and ancestrals i usually only get around 15 on average.
Seems like a slow build up for what equates to one item upgrade to level 4 or 5!
Veiled crystals are my most scarce mats by far preventing upgrades and imprinting etc.
Anyone got any ideas to farm quicker?
I am having this same issue. I salvage a full inventory of rares, get 8 crystals. need to imprint one item and it takes 20. How in the hell are we supposed to sustain this way if we did not have a ton of them when they changed the drop rates recently?
Resurrecting this thread instead of creating a new one.
I was having no issue with this during Season 2, but we’re now at Season 3 and I’m having a hard time on my little Rogue with imprinting Legendary Affixes from the Codex on my rare gear because it requires so many Veiled Crystals and salvaging rares yields so few.
It should be a guaranteed minimum of 1 per piece of salvaged rare gear at LEAST… either that or allow us to BUY them from a raw material merchant for some gold. I’m at lvl 50 with 4 million gp, and out of Veiled crystals for imprinting, never mind upgrading gear. I never had to worry about that before. Did I anger the RNG salvaging deities somehow??
Please send help…
