Lobi Crystals (or LCs) are used to buy specialty items form the Lobi Crystal Consortium on Drozana Station. They are obtainable by opening various lockboxes and, to a lesser extent, playing feature episodes during re-runs.

Lobi Crystals items are bound to character, not to account and, therefore, are not tradeable between characters, however some items that can be purchased using them can be traded.

Item Information

Lobi crystals are the semiprecious stone used in the production of inexpensive jewelry and ornaments. They are generally perceived as low in value due to their lack of uniform crystalline structure. However, an eccentric Ferengi collector has recently begun buying them up in bulk for use in a bizarre economic experiment.

Lobi crystals are also available in certain missions as part of the accolade "Lobi Scavenger Hunt - Spectres". For example, one can be obtained by scanning the tail of the comet in "Night of the Comet".
