This guide covers the best Crystal mixtures in Schedule 1, focusing on both high-value and efficient recipes. Based on feedback requesting simpler recipes, this guide will highlight an optimal eight-ingredient mix, a four-ingredient alternative, and some fun wildcard recipes.
Best High-Value Crystal Recipe
The most expensive Crystal recipe in the game, sometimes named Hairy Diamond, has a market value of approximately $340. However, the selling price can be increased significantly:
- Street Sales: $380–$400 (high acceptance rate)
- Text Message Offers: Typically between $400 and $500
- Potential Maximum Sale Price: Up to $585 with counteroffers
Effects

Profit Analysis
- Ingredient Cost: $38

This mix maximizes profits by significantly increasing Crystal’s value.
Best Four-Ingredient Crystal Recipe
For those preferring simpler mixes, a four-ingredient recipe is also highly effective. While slightly less valuable than the eight-ingredient mix, it provides a faster and more resource-efficient alternative.
Crafting Efficiency Tips
Using multiple mixing stations can drastically reduce crafting time:
- Example: Four Stations
- Craft five units per station → Faster production
- Instead of waiting for one batch, four stations reduce overall wait time
- Bulk Crafting
- Producing 20 units per station allows for 80 units in the time it takes to craft 20 in a single machine
