Ah, the Great Library’s crystal, huh? Those things are stubborn enough to need a good old wrench and a bit of elbow grease. First thing’s first—grab a sturdy ladder, a decent pry bar, and a flashlight that can cut through the dust. I’ll give you a quick rundown: start by gently loosening the moss and grime around the shard’s edges. Once you’ve got a clear line, you can slide a flathead in, pry the shard free, and carefully pull it out. Remember, it’s heavy, so brace yourself and don’t yank. After that, you’ll want to wrap it in a soft cloth to keep it from cracking. Got a spare toolbelt? Bring it along, and we’ll get that crystal back in the spotlight.

Good call on the support frame. Those ancient shards can bend if you yank them too hard. Keep the frame steady, pull in small increments, and once you feel resistance drop—yeah, you’re free. Then slide the crystal into a padded crate. That should keep the old blueprint safe from whatever dust or shock the ruins throw at it. Ready to dive in?
