I'm putting some smaller feedback-driven changes into Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next update, as usual. Here's a change to crystal path rooms that gives the player a lot more choice in terms of what loot they get.

I'm afraid it's really not in the cards for these rooms to give equipment loot, as enough rooms already do that, but I can at least improve player choice here, to make these rooms feel a bit more like their crystal key counterparts.

I like it! What was the feedback? Why the need to implement this change?

People generally felt that finding a 2nd and 3rd crystal key was a disappointment because crystal path rooms had worse loot than the alternative crystal key rooms.

To an extent this is unavoidable. Crystal chests have amazing loot and I can't really have too many rooms like that. With this change though crystal path rooms will have a bit more unique value though, which should hopefully help.

Agree that this makes the room much more interesting, and having a choice always is better so you don't depend purely on luck. A very welcome change.
