With 14 FSC runs I got 17 radiant fire crystals, they're 700ce for 50 at supply depot and ~11k-12kcr each at AH. Heating 5 star items require 42-102 radiants per level for 80% of the way to level 10. So my suggestion is to add a legit way to get radiant fire crystals without using a insane amount of time or money.

1. Add a crafting recipe - 5 shining fire crystals + 1000cr = 3 radiant fire crystals

2. Up the drop rate to the same as other fire crystals

3. Keep drop rate the same but have it drop in all tier 3 stratums

4. Lower forge price to something reasonable

5. Increase forge chance to something reasonable

6. Lower supply depot price

7. Increase amount given for 700ce at supply depot

8. Do " " (it's your game, why is there even a suggestion forum)

OR +1

OR
This thread has been made a million times and is pointless by now. They obviously don't care about it or they'd at least say something on the matter since it gets brought up like every day. But +1 anyway.

1) Someone quoted that you can break a large diamond into small diamonds, but you can't make a large non-cracked diamond using small diamonds only.
2) They will, probably in a few months of so.
3) What?
4) No.
5) What?
6) Has been suggested.
7) Sure, I guess.

BLEH.

1. No.
2. They probably will.
3. They already do. Just not that often.
4. N to the O.
5. What? 100% isn't reasonable enough? In fact, why are you doing any forging from 3-5* without using 100% for prize boxes?
6. Is this like a recycling center? Cause I see all these again.
7. Well, to be fair, I don't think anyone does buy them there save for idiots.

And guess what? There already is a way to get Radiants:

-Find a person who sells a Shadow Lair Key. Most of the time, they sell them for 1600 or less CE - less than the SD 1800 CE, especially with the spiked Energy prices.
-Find three other peeps to run UFSC on Elite. Each person gives 400 CE.
-By the time you finish UFSC, you should usually have around 50 Crystals, plus enough loot and possibly orbs (not to factor in SL mats, minerals, and all that) to make a slight profit margin.
-Rinse and repeat. It's UFSC on Elite! What, you're going to get bored of it that quickly? Well, who am I kidding, you probably would. Oh wait. You're a person who wants to add crown guns and stuff. My bad.

@ Skyguarder

On that first quote, I'm pretty sure Hexzyle said that (not sure where, but I'm too lazy to look)

EDIT: Sandwich, maybe it's just me but it seems a bit illogical to go into UFSC just to heat up a single piece of 5* gear (I know you can go to any SL, but I'm just saying). And 50 crystals is the same amount you get from the depot, so you doesn't seem worth it. Sure, you do make a profit, but to go into SL just to get a few crystals? No thank you.

@Skyguarder

1) 9 diamonds = diamond block, logic for you

*Gummed cracked diamond block.

2) hm
3) I don't understand
4) ok
5) 100% is more than reasonable.
6) ok
7) ok

Overall -1

Put shinings all over stratum 5.

Put radiants all over stratum 6.

This should not be hard. Why isn't it already like this?

It's already like that, but the drop rate of radiants is much, much lower (like 100x lower) than shinings, and stratum 5 is really easy to access as it's right after the 2nd sub-town and it's the first level of FSC. But stratum 6 is much harder to access, requiring players to beat 5 depths (ie at least 40 mins even with best party) before getting to it.

Stratum 1 — Depth: 01-03 (Tier 1)
Stratum 2 — Depth: 05-07 (Tier 1)
Stratum 3 — Depth: 09-12 (Tier 2)
Stratum 4 — Depth: 14-17 (Tier 2)
Stratum 5 — Depth: 19-22 (Tier 3)
Stratum 6 — Depth: 24-28 (Tier 3)

I demand screenshots of radiants found at depth 24 after October.

@ Aotr
The first floor of FSC is d24, which is the first floor of Stratum 6.
And yea, radiants only show up on d 27 or later (I say d27 because in the time after the update, i have found a single radiant on d27 but only once).

And last time i checked, it didn't take any more than 10-20 minutes to do all of Stratum 5, and that's only if i go out of my way to kill everything.
