I had been entertaining the idea of involving botanist mechanics in RP after "hiring" a group of adventurers to protect me through Coerthas (Yes I actually RPed an escort mission, was pretty fun actually) Looking through the gathering log I noticed that when it comes to shards and especially crystas they tend to be found only in certain regions, with the bountiful Black Shroud producing 3 elements, La Noscea 2 elements, and lastly the more "extreme" areas od Thanalan and Coerthas only producing one type.Suddnelty had this whole IC idea of the reason of the lack of resouces could be of an imbalance of the elements coming from the earth and that they could be "planted" in the soil to try and inflence the growing rates of crops since I understand that crystals gathered from mining do not follow this same rule.
Was wondering if acording to the lore there is an explanation as to how the crystals, and especially the ones obtained from trees are created. Someone mentioned that they are created naturaly after interacting through the weather (for example: Coerthas has abundance of ice because of the snowstorms and stuff) but also have not managed to find any info regarding that.
Are there any botanists / miners / farmers who are knowledgeable about the stuff?
