Master Aspect Gatherer
Master Aspect Gatherer is an achievement during Festival of the Four Winds that requires players to find ten Master Sky Crystals throughout Labyrinthine Cliffs.
Note that after you interact with the Sky Crystals, there's no way to tell whether it was a Master Sky Crystal or a regular Sky Crystal. You'll probably want to reference the Aspect Gatherer page along with this one.

Compared to any of the crystals gathered under the Aspect Gatherer achievement, this is quite difficult to reach. Much the easiest way to reach this one is to rent a Griffon from the NPC at Sky Docks Waypoint, and fly east straight to the Master Crystal.
Alternatively, from Sky Docks Waypoint, follow the path clockwise until you reach the Springer Rental NPC platform. Continue southwest to the balcony. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) and Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) to cross around the right-hand side of the cliff until you reach a wooden platform with a wind crystal in the corner to recharge Skill 1 (you will need 8 charges). Climb up on the small rocky step next to the wind crystal, and use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to reach the suspended platform. Use the same skill to traverse up the: (1) wooden platform halfway up the scaffold, (2) the next suspended platform (very tricky, you need to be right on the edge of the platform), (3) the step on the scaffold, then walk to the northeast, (4) to the top of the scaffold, (5) continue to the purple crystal, (6) keep going up. Once at the top use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) in the indicated area to jump to the Master Crystal. |

On the western windmill pillar (near the jackal rental), about half-way up the east side, near the top of the windmill.
From Sky Docks Waypoint, head northwest until you find Quintus Searclaw at the foot of the rock pillar with the griffon adventure on top. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) repeatedly to clamber up the sloped roof, wooden scaffold poles and wooden platforms. Where possible, try to jump from the hexagonal platforms as this reduces your chances of bumping into scaffolding above. |

On the eastern pillar with the windmill (across the road from the jackal rental), on the roof of the highest house.
From Sky Docks Waypoint, head northwest and stand beside Quintus Searclaw. Look northeast facing up to where the Master Crystal is just out of sight. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to climb onto the top of the shortest windmill. Then use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) onto the crane on top of the second windmill. Finally use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to reach the roof with the Master Sky Crystal. |

From Sky Docks Waypoint, follow the path clockwise until you reach Lumen, the Labyrinthine Cliffs Crystal Collection adventure NPC. Walk east from Lumen to the railing - you will see the crystal to the right of the rightmost water wheel. Jump onto the orange roof on the left. Use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) to jump onto the wooden poles leading to the water wheels. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to gain some height onto the vertical poles halfway along. Use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) to jump onto the jutting out roof above the leftmost water wheel. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to climb onto the roof in front of you, and then Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to reach the grass ledge on the left, and then again to reach the red roof of the waterwheel building. Alternately, and much easier if you have sustained gliding, you can quite easily jump off the upper island (where the Sky Docks portal is), and glide into the updraft there, thence to the green patch shown in the last part of the effort. It would help to have either a springer or a couple leap/lightning pull skills to get to the final step. When you're at the top, continue east and use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) to reach the Master Sky Crystal. (Note that once you're done, you can choose to reach Master Sky Crystal 9 from here too with Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) from the waterwheel building red roof). |

On the cliff directly below Lumen and Proxima Gravegutte (on the small red house beside the green houses).
From Sky Docks Waypoint, follow the path clockwise until you reach Lumen, the Labyrinthine Cliffs Crystal Collection adventure NPC. Walk east from Lumen to the railing, jump onto the red roof on the left and turn west towards the crystal. Walk carefully forwards, fall off the edge of the first roof and continue along until beneath the crystal. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to hop upto the Master Sky Crystal. |

On the large island southwest of the airship, at the top of the rock with the stack of four houses.
From Sky Docks Waypoint, drop down into the water below. Swim and continue due southwest past the beach tent and dancers. Climb the grassy mound on the southwest side of the stack of houses, using Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) twice halfway up to return to the grassy slope. Stick to the right side of the slope at the very top (only the left slide is slippery) and use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) agaim to reach the crystal. |

From Sky Docks Waypoint, follow the path clockwise down to the platform just above the Springer Rental NPC. Facing northeast towards the three waterwheels, you should be able to see the crystal beneath the rightmost waterwheel. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) to hop onto the wooden roof to the left of Parker Cole. Follow the roof around the corner and use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) again to reach the Master Sky Crystal. |

Across the three jumping platforms next to the Wind Guide, above the red houses, at the very top of the scaffolding.
From Sky Docks Waypoint, follow the path clockwise until you reach Lumen, the Labyrinthine Cliffs Crystal Collection adventure NPC. Head south to the balcony and find the NPC Sunflower. Facing east and looking up, use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) onto the roof. Hop up onto the gray beam and use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) onto the next brown roof, and then the same skill again onto the red roof. Use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) back onto the scaffolding and finally Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) up to the Master Sky Crystal, taking care not to knock your character on the beam above. |

From Sky Docks Waypoint, follow the path clockwise until you reach Lumen, the Labyrinthine Cliffs Crystal Collection adventure NPC. Head southeast and find Lionguard Jess. Use Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) onto the red roof on her left. Use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull) onto the gray beam, and then Zephyr Skill 1 (Assisted Leap) up to the Master Sky Crystal.
Alternatively, follow the route above for Master Sky Crystal 4 and turn west at the end and use Zephyr Skill 3 (Lightning Pull). |

On the cliff high above the springer rental, in a small niche. It does not appear to be possible to reach this Master Aspect Crystal without use of either a glider or a mount.
From Sky Docks Waypoint, walk to the cliff edge between the building and Master of Wind. Jump and glide southeast, towards the updraft. At the top of the updraft, turn left, aiming for the ledge along the cliff, above and left from the wooden platforms. Walk along this ledge, past the bamboo, until you are in a shrub. Ahead of you is a rounded slope with more shrubs. Aim Lightning Pull at the cliff wall above the shrub on this next hill. You'll bounce down into a small dent between two shrubs. Walk through the next shrub, hopping up the trunk a bit for visibility. The next ledge is bordered by a wall made of triangular edges. Use Assisted Leap and activate your glider at the top. Glide towards the wall, pressing forward to hug up against the wall. Carefully walk along this wall, staying as close as you're able, until you reach the next-to-last triangle sticking out. Use Assisted Leap again, and glide around the corner at the top of the leap. Deactivate your glider again very soon, when you are near the bamboo on the next ledge. (It's a very short glide.) The Master Crystal is in a depression on the left.
Alternatively, rent a Griffon from the NPC at Sky Docks Waypoint (or use your own). Walk up to the airship south of the waypoint, and fly northeast with the Griffon from the prow of the airship, aiming for the cliff edge above Master Sky Crystal 1. Head west along the green clifftop path and use the Griffon to get up the slope midway along. Master Sky Crystal 10 is in a furrow at the end of the path. |
Trivia[edit]
- The individual crystals were numbered within the achievement user interface with the August 31, 2021 game update.
