Always be patient! They end
Always be patient! They end up dropping whenever you least expect it. I know Vana runs tend to get super boring, but they tend to be a pretty good bet since there's so many boxes. I might also recommend arcade runs - one of the newer gates has a lot of chances for Danger Rooms at lower depths (forgive me, I'm not sure which exactly) and those have a lot of boxes at the end, too, for only 3 energy. Not so bad, especially if you can find a good party!
I've been there though, it sucks being riiight on the edge of getting something new and shiny - and the Acheron is seriously one of my favorite weapons so I understand - but it'll come to you sooner or later! Even if you can't find one via drops, just by playing you'll continue to earn money so at the very least you'll be able to buy one when it shows up.

FAQ
If you already know that you want to buy from another player, move this to the Bazaar forum (by editing the original post and choosing that forum from the drop-down menu), as Mengh said. Otherwise, this is a frequently asked question:

Don't farm Vana.
Farm the Arcade on Elite

You should, on average, find more eternal orbs than radiant fire crystals proportional to the amounts needed to actually use them in conjunction with one another to produce level 10, 5* gear. This assumes that you are doing runs that consist mainly of levels throughout T3, as opposed to just depth 28, and are playing mainly on elite difficulty.
Your problem is mostly that you are simply not getting all of these items quickly enough, and that you have too many things to upgrade at once. My suggestion to you is to not sweat the eternal orbs, as you will eventually be faced with the much larger challenge of retrieving radiant fire crystals. The best course of action, would be to seek out the fire crystals ahead of time, having faith that the game will give you eternal orbs of alchemy. If at any point you stop and look to see that you have found far far more than 430ish fire crystals per 3 orbs, you could consider buying orbs with crowns or energy.
If you are not playing on elite, you should be doing so. If you are not skilled enough, there is no penalty for dying, and you have no reason not to become skilled enough.

get real peeps
Nobody farms T3 elite, everyone just does vana.
i've been doing several T3 runs lately but very few ppl actually join my parties, and not to mention trying to join another person's party because 80% of the time i try it fails to find one
the other sad truth is that even when you find the good levels you just make a bit less than just doing the daily vanaduke, i went myself through an entire T3 run on elite last time and got the D28 arena along with a D26 treasure vault, and i got just about 8.4k crowns along with 18 radiants... and that is one of the best T3 runs i had so far, still doesn't rival the 9.3k crowns with 15-30 radiants i can get from fattyduke.
But then T3 is alot more fun (with the exception of those nightmarish compounds) than doing vanaduke for the millionth time.
So it is just a matter of choice, profits=vanaduke/Fun=arcade

people do farm Tier 3
People do farm Tier 3. They do it once they can't stand to farm FSC anymore. They tend to seek out danger rooms and arenas.

One day I stumbled upon a stone
I found an eternal orb today in the "In Cold Blood"mission from the level "Killer Trail". Farm Killer Trail on elite mode and you'll be payed with decent orbs and shining crystals.

...instead of just waiting for their turn to speak? <69
Nobody farms T3 elite, everyone just does vana."
This statement seems a tad bit on the absolute side of things. I mean, I play the arcade, and I'm certainly not solo 100% of the time and I might have never "done Van[n]a"...but that's beside the point- Firestorm Citadel is located in T3, as are all of the T3 missions that aren't strictly in the arcade. That's like saying that I don't like to hang out on earth, because I'd rather be chilling at the mall.

Woot
I know that FSC is in tier 3, I actually said that referring to all the rest of the places that are NOT FSC, but i guess that i should have said "tier 3 arcade of the clockworks except the firestorm citadel".(also people no longer play through the levels of the arcade to get to the FSC, they just go to the mission) and when i said "everyone just does vanaduke" i didn't mean LITERALLY EVERYONE, i know there are people out there playing through the arcade or should i say NOT DOING ONLY VANNADUKE to be more specific.
so thx again for correcting me on those things i supposed were completely obvious and didn't need fully detailed explanation as for the point i was trying to make...

CR, material, orbs, and
CR, material, orbs, and sparks always come to those who love to play..........
Just play and have fun, eventually you will be able to buy whatever you want or need if you haven't found it by then.

The reason why we just do Vanna
"Nobody farms T3 elite, everyone just does vans."
"(also people no longer play through the levels of the arcade to get to the FSC, they just go to the mission)"
Half the reason we do that is because of time constraints. Besides the fact that straight FSC is quicker, it also means that (if we're not heating), we have the same gear for all depths - no waiting to change gear - and basically everyone has Vanna-optimised gear, so its quicker to just do Vanna.
I know what you mean, but thats just the reason why

Understanding Random Variables - Probability Distributions 1.
All I can say really is just keep running gates. (The things in the arcade that were before the update that included missions)
Actually, I believe you can buy some eternal orbs for cheaper than 30kcr. Try the auction house. If you do actually have trouble finding one eternal orb, move this thread to the Bazaar section by going to Edit --> The Bazaar --> Save. You'll get more people being able to sell you one.
