You might want to check out the southwest part of the map first, as it's a more calm, tropical area with lots of wood, stone, and metal.

The center of the map is less forgiving so head there with caution. The map features Crystal wyverns, tamable and non-aggressive creatures. The map has large crystals from which it got its name, an Eldritch isle with floating water bubbles and plenty of rare resources, a massive cluster of floating islands (Apotheosis), and an enormous bee hive in the form of a cave filled with honey.
