Where to Find Red Crystals in Lightyear Frontier
In order to obtain Red Crystal Dust, you first need to find the base material that it’s sourced from, which isRed Crystals. These are thankfully not hard to get to, as you simply need to hop over to Pine Heights on the northwestern side of themap, not far from the Meadows starting area.
While in your Mech, make your way through the rocky pillars and up the cliffside along the northern side of the area. Among the pine trees to your right, you’ll notice a small cliff outcrop where a few mounds of Red Crystals will be found (as seen below). A Stalktail Nest will be sitting in the middle of them as well, for further reference.
Before you go to town on harvesting these Red Crystals, note that you will need to upgrade your mech’s Spike Saw tool (Spike Saw Power I) at anUpgrade Depotfirst, which you can build on your farm as soon as you discover and acquireAluminum Rods. You won’t be able to break down the Red Crystal mounds without it.

Once you have plenty of Red Crystals in your Inventory to work with, you will then need to construct aGrindermachine on your farm. This will unlock for you in theBuild Menuonce you have discovered and gathered the appropriate materials (via exploration and/or theMerchant) to make it.
Once you have your Grinder prepped, make sure you have your Red Crystals currently in your Inventory and interact with it to produce the Red Crystal Dust you need.
