1.What is the most efficient Radiants farming place given I don't own a snarby set for UFSC? I'm planning to heat my Hammer, Leviathan and Argent Peacemaker

2. I own a drakon at level 2, I heard its worthless in FSC, should I just save up 2.1kce and purchase a maskeraith which is supposedly OP? Or should I keep it.

3. Is there a guide where to go to heat 3*,4*? I'm planning on working a chaos set for glass cannon fun

4. Anything I missed out except the "Undesired" Forge systems, "Beneficial" Alchemy Orbs and Battle Sprites?

#1. FSC to me is still the best bang for buck for heating and radients

#2. I honestly wish i would have purchased a maskeraith earlier on. as soon as i got to lvl 10ish on my drakon i knew it wasn't right for me (and im a swordie). Now im at lvl 100+ and ultimate skills i still wish i had something else but im too invested to change.

#3. see #1.

#4. i am not sure what you're asking here

For question 4, did i miss out on anything except for the forge, orbs and battle sprites? Like Monster nerfs or Armor Buffs that were introduced but I was not aware off.

1. Yeah I agree, FSC or T3 clockworks if any of them have arenas on the later levels

2. It's not worthless once you get a certain ultimate, but that takes a while, if you want maskeraith you can get that too and continue to level up your drakon in the meantime

3. Tier 2 levels especially if you're looking for 4* orbs and 3* heat crystals (you probably have a lot of 4* crystals from FSC already)
I usually run the Sewer Stash mission for this purpose

4. Not sure how long you were gone, but they did buff Chaos a while back so each piece gives CTR med + Damage med, and Acheron does as much damage as Gran Faust now.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

nice to know archeron got a buff.

yeah, except it does a little too much damage right now.

for that drakon, heat it till level 50, then it will be of some use in T3. then it all depends on what is your playstile. if you want to use your drakon (and grind FSC), I suggest flame barrier. otherwise firebolt is a great skill to spam.

For question 4, you missed the announcement of the gunner update. Unfortunately, the gunner update has been delayed. See here.

1. FSC

2. I'd just feed your drakon lower star mats and only give it food when it needs to level up. If you have the energy I'd suggest buying a maskeraith or seraphynx.

3. RJP and IMF missions are good for heating, although they don't have forging stations at each level. Otherwise, tier 2 and 3. Tier 3 often has easier levels that you can equip a piece of 3* gear for and be fine, and it's fine with 4* gear. Since 3* gear only needs to be heated to level 5, it will be much easier to get that out of the way. The mission "In Cold Blood," made of a beast, then ice slime, then beast with a few lumber and puppies levels, is pretty easy to run with 3* gear also, and it gives 4* shining fire crystals too. I sometimes run the first level of one of the daily prestige missions a few times for heat or shinings also, especially if it's the beast or construct one.

4. This has a summary of the biggest update in a while: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Release_Notes_2013-07-30
