That's what I'm saying though, Crystals on the previous route were possible within the first day with optimal routing, and Crystals are worth the same as Quantums in the first place, making the need for Quantums null, and actually making the route through the Moss Blanket first less appealing, as you're effectively losing out on a full day of potential Crystal Plorts. The only reason I feel the Moss Blanket path would be worth it is if pushing through all the way through to the Glass Desert would save more than a day opposed to taking the Quarry path to get the early Crystals. And honestly, that really seems to come down to unlocking the Jetpack. (which, with the early Crystals, becomes much less of a concern in the first place) If this is the optimal route, however, it might be worth putting a heavy emphasis on grabbing Occa Occas on the way out of the first trip to the Quarry.
