The secret behind this is that doing skills on the crystalline will cause crystals to drop while hitting it with auto attacks will NOT. HOW CAN I GET THE MOST CRYSTALS OUT OF A CRYSTALLINE? The crystalline will drop crystals of its color every time it gets struck by a skill, so the secret to getting more crystals is to do the least amount of damage possible to it.

Greetings, Defender! This is the guide that will allow you to understand more on how the mailing system works in Defenders of the Cross. In DOTC, some Mails are received by other Defenders; however, you can also receive Mails from an Unknown Sender, or a Campaign that was given to you. In order to understand how to read your Mails, we’ve created this Guide. The Community Window This is the window you access by pressing Alt+C while in the game. In it you can see the mail that has been sent you you by people on your friend’s list. However, throughout your time in Defenders of the Cross, there may be documents or messages sent to you from the MOB in the form of messages directed to you by NPCs, SNPCs or a variety of groups or organizations. These messages will also be stored in your community window in the form of mail. An issue that you may run across when it comes to the messages sent by the MOB is that they are not convenient to view, as shown in the example to the right. Furthermore, due to the nature of how these messages are sent, you will also find that erasing them does not work. So how do you deal with this? You check your messages at the source! All of these messages are stored in your computer, here is how to access them: Go to your main disk – typically Windows (C:) – on your computer, in it you will find the Raxan folder. In the Raxan folder, enters Games then DefendersOfTheCross: Once in this...
