Who to buy A grade crystals from?

I'm just now trying out the private creation route for getting shots. But I'm not having any luck so far in finding A grade crystals to buy. If you have some for sale, or are willing to craft some, please let me know.
You can get them from the merchant of Mammon.
Oh yes, I noticed that. Although, I believe the price I saw as 15,000 AA each, which is equivalent to 45,000 AA each. Am I missing something, or would this be an incredibly cost-ineffective way to go about getting crystals for shots?
A - shots and crystals on seige weekends are very rare anymore. lol. The mammon seems to be the only way during these weekends
Thanks for explaining that. I was beginning to feel rather bad about the situation, and I went ahead and bought some A grade crystals from the Merchant of Mammon, or whatever he is called. But, I still wonder, are the Merchant of Mammon and crushed/blown up A grade equipment the only way to get A grade crystals? Do dwarves not have any ability to make A grade crystals from basic mats?
not from basic mats. Crushing and crafting is the only way as well blowing items up from over enchanting. lol.

There are times you can craft a cheap A grade item and crush it and use the crystals. It depends on the item though, but it does work out to be a better deal that way.
That confuses me. How do you make a cheap A grade item if you never had any A grade crystals to begin with? There's something in this whole logic that escapes me. (It reminds me of the old business about which came first, the chicken or the egg?) But I do appreciate your replies.
Dark Crystal shield for example can be made with BG crystals and gems. It's the item I use to build my AG crystal stock with.
Ah, OK, this is one thing never explained to me. Thanks.
Sorry to confuse you about that.
Iy's OK, many people have confused me about that, lol. So maybe it's just me!
As general rule, low grade craft is being crafted with using the previous grade gems and crystals. For AG that is Tallum and Dark Crystal.
Thanks Orvieta. I have mostly not paid too much attention to dwarf-type stuff in this game so far, as it seems like dwarfes speak almost another language. But, I guess I'm going to have to start learning. Ouch, my aching head.
If ya need help with the dwarfy language feel free to pm us mate ;)
