Nano Crystal Creation

Needed Skills

• Nano Programming (NP)
• Computer Literacy (CL)
• Mechanical Engineering (ME)
• Electrical Engineering (EE)
• Field Quantum Physics (FQP)

Needed Items and Tools

Component	*1	Location	Min. QL
Jensen Personal Ore Extractor	R	Shop General Tools and Bases	at least 25%
Isotope Separator	R		at least 25%
Neutron Displacer	R		at least 50%
Photon Particle Emitter	Co	Shop Nano Crystal Componets	at least 50%
Symbol Library	Co/C		at least 25%
Crystal Reflection Pattern	Co/C		at least 25%
Carbonrich Rock	Co	s. b.	at least 100%
Instruction Disc	Co	Loot, Chests	Determines the QL

R = Reusable, Co = Consumption, C = has to be used with the right class

Because you can re-use the first three tools, it's advisable to buy them directly in a QL suitable for higher Nano Programs. (The highest buildable Nano Program is of QL 239 (Anima of The Abomination))

Locations of Carbon Rich Rocks

Unfortunately, these rocks can not be bought in any shop (except of PS, of course) and can be found in certain areas only, which there are:

Area	QL-Range	Coords
4 Holes	1-60	Scattered far amongst numerous tower field hazards
Condemned Subway	1-60	Slum Runners to the right at the trench just before Vergil Aeneid
Southern Artery Valley	10-60	2620 x 2920 at Tsunayoshi Smith and The Big Soul Fragment
Broken Shores	1-150	2350 x 3482
Avalon	10-110	2446 x 1317 The Notum Tree. Small number with fast respawn
Avalon	10-110	1672 x 763 Higher QLs guarded by Nanofreaks
Central Artery Valley	30-245	1200 x 1000
Deep Artery Valley	60-230	1685 x 2950

In these areas you often have to challenge mobs in the same level range. If you are of a lower level, you should use a Yalmaha or ask an Adventurer for Calia's Form: Parrot (Other) to collect the rocks.

A Yalmaha is practically a requisite for Ore hunting. It gets you to the Ore faster and safer, and it can also be used to rid yourself of the enemies at the Ore deposits. Dive down towards an enemy, wait (a fraction of a second) for them to aggro you, and take off backwards and up. Once you are a certain distance up, melee enemies cannot hit you; a bit further, and ranged enemies cannot hit you either. Notice they have travelled away from their former position. Now turn around, and take off in the other direction. Once you have gone far enough away, you will have lost them entirely. Circle back, staying far enough away from the enemy; depending on the enemy type, their code may make them return to their former position if you, or any player, get too close. Missions with Clicksaver for Buff Weapons (also see Breakpoints#Weapons) will give you goods to sell for enough money to buy one of these incredibly useful but expensive tools.

Crafting

During the crafting process you have to consider, that the Symbol Library and the Crystal Reflection Pattern have to be of the same 'Class' like the Instruction Disc. The following classes are available:

School	Crystal Reflection Pattern	Symbol Library
Combat	ID NOT FOUND	ID NOT FOUND
Medic	ID NOT FOUND	ID NOT FOUND
Protection	ID NOT FOUND	ID NOT FOUND
PSI	ID NOT FOUND	ID NOT FOUND
Space	ID NOT FOUND	ID NOT FOUND

Creating the Program Crystal

The combination of items in Anarchy Online has to be done in the following way:

First, you pick up the item, which should be added to an other, with a leftclick. After tat you drag the item on the second one and combine them with a shift-rightclick. Alternatively you can use the tradeskill window <Shift+T>. The so created item will appear in the next free slot in your inv. It's advisable to have at least one free slot during the creation of new items.

To get a Prepared Program Crystal from a Carbon Rich Rock the following progress steps are needed:

ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: ME
Jensen POE		Carbonrich Rock		Carbonrich Ore	QL x 3
ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: ME/EE
Isotope Separator		Carbonrich Ore		Pure Carbon Crystal	QL x 3,75
ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: ME/QFP
Neutron Displacer		Pure Carbon Crystal		Program Crystal	QL x 4,25
! Attention ! From now on the Crystal will be formatted to a specified school !
ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: EE/QFP
Crystal Reflection Pattern		Program Crystal		Prepared Program Crystal	QL x 4,5

Creating the Nano Program

ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: NP/CL
Symbol Library		Instruction Disc		Compiled Algorithm	QL x 4
ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: NP
Photon Particle Emitter		Compiled Algorithm		Programmed Photon Particle Emitter	QL x 4,25
ID NOT FOUND	+	ID NOT FOUND	=	ID NOT FOUND	Skills: ME/NP
Prepared Program Crystal		Programmed Photon Particle Emitter		Nano Crystal	QL x 4,5
