I just finished gathering all of the crystals for the plus today. (Crystal Shadowgear - Spirit/Air).

In conclusion; It is literally impossible to get without potions and/or gems.

Stage one took me 23 completions for 8 shards.

Stage two took 13 for 8 shards. (This was the best drop rate.)

Stage three took 19 for 8 shards.

Stage four took 21 for 8 shards.

Stage five took 14 for 8 shards.

Stage six took 19 for 8 shards.

Stage seven took 21 for 8 shards.

Stage eight took 25 for 8 shards.

Stage nine took 16 for 8 shards.

Stage ten took 22 for 8 shards.

Stage eleven took 19 for 8 shards.

Stage twelve took 23 for 8 shards.

Stage thirteen took 18 for 8 shards.

Stage fourteen took 17 for 8 shards.

Stage fifteen took 36 completions for 8 shards! 36!!! (This was the worst drop rate.)

Stage sixteen took 29 completions for 8 shards! 29!!!  (I only play this level as i'm about to level up and only use 1 strong friend.  Armors in this order: Fire/Air, Water/Fire, Water/Spirit - main knight, and friend - water/fire.)

I had to use all of my 54 potions and 15 gems in order to finish on time. I had 37 minutes to spare, but only because I chose to gem, otherwise I would have had to wait for full health which takes over 3 hours to recover. There is literally no way to get the plus without potions or gems.

Not only, did it take potions and gems, but I had to sleep less than 7 hours each day, spend my entire weekend playing and about 4 hours of my 9 hour work day playing the game in order to get the fragments. Before work as soon as I woke up I had to play until i was out of health, and immediately after work I had to play until I went to bed.

This is the last time I will go for the plus. They need to extend the time to 12 days. They also should increase the drop rate to at least 50%, this is bogus. Also, 10 friends in a 23 hour period isn't enough either, they need to increase friends to 15 or 20 per day.

End of my rant.
