Well, I tried to go on missions to find orbs of alchemy, but where do I get it? I got no idea, even I tried to buy it, I got no enough crowns. Please tell me.
How do I get orbs of alchemy
My bro tells me I can get it in the clockworks. Is it true?
Do you people not read the tutorials?? Don't skip those, they are important to read. All your questions about the game, minerals, fire crystals, forge; they are all answered by the tutorials. I keep seeing people complain and quit the game because they don't know what the heck to do.
To find answers to commonly asked questions, try searching Google --- in this case, for something like "spiral knights forum orb alchemy". You will find stuff like

And don't forget the wiki:
Though it is true you can get orbs of alchemy by running through the clockworks you only get SIMPLE orbs of alch. If (and when) you need advanced orbs of alch.you'll have to go to the supply depot. Don't woory though , you dont need to pay cash to get energy , just get at the max 10 000 cr (which is easy to aquire if you know the rights guys ) and just click the energy depot and get the energy. But 10 000 cr won't get you more than 100 energy and advanced orbs are 175. So just jumo in the clockworks and get sum ching.
@Axemanx
perhaps you DIDN'T explore clockworks enough. not only you can get simple orbs of alchemy but also advanced, elite and eternal orbs in clockworks.
For better orbs, you need to do harder levels. You'll only find simples if you stay in T1, on normal :v
I don't know about you guys, but I've been playing for a few months and I've only found 3 or 4 orbs, all of different types. And that's with regular trips on Elite going as far as I can. I recently managed to fight my way to Emberlight through the Royal Jelly Palace on Elite and didn't find a single Orb on the whole mission! As annoying as it is, grinding for crowns to convert to Energy probably is the best way, as it's not unusual for me to come back from a long Arcade mission with 10,000+ crowns.
First, you got to go see Old man Joe. Now, Old man Joe ain't the nicest fella, so you've to get yourself one of 'em shiny machine thingies. Old man misses Jenkins like's 'em shiny thingies. She gives dem crowns that ain't crowns but are money. You go talk to that one woman with the ugly face and the backpack she gives you 'em energy blue stuff, you buy an orb.
AND THAT, is how you bake a cake.
I suggest you do the arcade runs a lot. I constantly run the arcade, but look for a gate with a treasure vault within the first 4 depths of whatever tier you are. (The treasure vault symbol looks like a four leaf clover) This is what I hav done to get shining fire crystals and I have not had to pay for a single eternal orb which is quite amazing. So keep farming arcade and if u miss the treasure vault just try again.
Lol, wow I didn't check to see if the thread was revived from the graveyard.
orbs are random drops from the boxes in the arcades, but very rare.
it's easier to run the depths for crowns then convert the crowns to energy and buy it from the supply depot
you can earn some from doing missions as well, but only the first time you do them
either way since there are no more elevator fees you can just keep playing and eventually save enough for them.
