For whatever it's worth, I have one new Crystal Alchemy store. It produced 2 crystals at about 17:00 28 Jan 2013 CST, and I started it again on the 2-crystal recipe. This is normal operation. This works best for me, even though the 1-crystal recipe produces a bit faster, because not slipping the schedule would involve rotating sleep hours. I run a 1-crystal recipe if the 2-crystal recipe completes earlier than about 2PM.

At about 21:30 (also around the time Bingo shut off) I got a new challenge that said something about lightning strikes turning crystals into coins, and that if I run one recipe from the newer Crystal Alchemy store, I'd get 1 extra crystal. I looked at the recipe being run. It said I had a bit more than 15 hours left to go on the 2-crystal recipe (as expected), the title of it was "1700 coins", and the proceeds were listed as 2 crystals plus 1800 XP. I am not short a crystal (yet, at least). If I had been running a 1-crystal recipe, perhaps I would be. I'll look closely at what I get when it finishes.
