One chronocrystal can be found in a treasure chest on 6F of the Tower of Nod and another can be received as a reward for the first-time completion of Quest #173: Plum Duffer.

Although it is only used in a single alchemy recipe, the player will eventually have to acquire many chronocrystals as agates of evolution are used extensively in the Krak Pot for making the rarest and most powerful pieces of equipment.
