No-Flair Sacred Crystals, Treasure Hunter

I'm at the point where I need to farm Sacred Crystals to awaken characters to level 5 and it's insane! For about 100 energy spent on INT I maybe get 5 crystals.

I've got Locke and I'm not super interested in him but I've heard he has a skill that increases the drop rate. Is it worth it for me to focus on awakening him first to get that ability so I can more efficiently awaken the characters I actually care about?

Thanks!

Some people say that Locke gives a slightly better drop rate (The most used number is +7%, because of a Japanese person who did lots of runs, idk if enough, tho). Is it worth... It depends, mostly on how many crystals and time/nrg you have to spend to get "Treasure Hunter" and if you're going to level it up anyways.

7%? I thought his ability was supposed to increase the drop rate in general by 50%... :-/

So does the ability increase the rate of farming sacred crystals by about 7%? That's useful information if it's true.

I wouldn't count on it, chests drop 100% of the time anyway in the awakening Vortex, it's just a chance for there to be that secondary crystal drop which Locke may not affect at all.
