How to Get Vanwyrm Cryst
Vanwyrm Cryst is Ice / Dark, so a Dragon or Fire attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.
Wild Vanwyrm Cryst spawn between level 23 and 67. Higher-level ones are markedly harder to hold — take a low one first and come back for the rest when you are stacking a condenser.
Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it middle of the road: take the health bar down first and aim for its back.
