Crystals

Crystals (結晶) in Sword Art Online are considered to be one of the most convenient types of items and the closest thing to magic in the world. They have different uses, namely having immediate effect for recovery unlike potions and perform a variety of function outside of healing, extending to teleportation, corridors to locations, and displaying images or replaying voice messages.

Though extremely useful, they are expensive hence making people hesitant to use them, unless they are in very special (dangerous) situation. Most of crystals can be found through some NPC shops, except for the Corridor Crystal. Corridor crystals are the rarest of all crystals, and are only obtainable by trading with other players, or from killing monsters or obtaining them from a treasure chest.

Their usage can also be prevented by a trap called an anti-crystal field, which became normal for boss fights on the 74th Floor and above.
