Hi everybody! New player here. I've been working my way up the missions and currently I'm stumped on the mission that requires you to wear all three star gear in the hall of heroes. (I think it's 4 something or 3 something?) The problem I'm having is I ran out of Advanced Orbs of Alchemy (I don't know how I managed to do that. I haven't skipped any missions, but I wouldn't put it past myself to accidentally waste them on something silly.) Where can I find more, though? Crowns are too hard to grind currently so buying them feels like it's out of the question. Are there any good spots to find them? How can I get more? Thanks again! :'D

Well, sorry to say that buying them is the easiest thing to do.
My recommendation would be to practise The Sovereign Slime (Royal Jelly mission) until you can reliably beat at least the first two floors on Elite difficulty, then play it a bunch until you can just buy energy and then buy your orbs. Same goes for 4* orbs.
If you want to actually have fun, though, I'd recommend random Tier 2 Arcade levels instead since playing the same mission 300000000 times is really boring. It'll take longer in the arcade but you'll be less likely to get completely burned out.

For future reference, 3* is when the game starts to slow down in terms of progression, necessitating more grinding. It's the point where you kinda have to start farming outside of mission progression to proceed. This game was designed to be an MMO first, with the missions added much later. Crowns aren't as difficult to farm as you might think, but it's going to take a bit of repetition from here on out, and it's only going to get worse, sadly.

Cheer Up!
When it comes to farming, usally one trip though a tier should yield roughly 7-8k crowns.
"How do I find orbs of alchemy?" is a frequently asked question. My prepared answer, which includes links to data sets, is here:
