The '''Chronocrystal''' is a recurring item in the {{DQSeries}}. It is a crystal formed over eons that is used as a crafting ingredient.

==={{DQ9}}===

Chronocrystal can be purchased for 50,000 gold each from item shop at the [[Lonely Coast]], which requires Sterling's whistle to access. It could also be purchased for a lower price from the [[DQVC]] when it was still available during New Year's Sale, Alchaid Week 4, and Orbsome. One chronocrystal can be found in a [[treasure chest]] on 6F of the [[Tower of Nod]] and another can be received as a reward for the first-time completion of [[Template:DQIXQuest/173|Quest #173]]: Plum Duffer.

Although it is only used in a single alchemy recipe, the player will eventually have to acquire many chronocrystals as agates of evolution are used extensively in the [[Krak Pot]] for making the rarest and most powerful pieces of equipment.
