Is it better to do the shadow lair or buy Radiants?

I am quite frustrated because I just got into the Valiance and it is AWESOME. However it does 3 pips of damage, and I could do some heavy damage in Lockdown for the first time without a hammer or brandish. I did about 14k with an unheated one. I also have 4 other swords and a bomb to heat too. I am also going to make 5 more weapons 1 piece of armor and a shield too(got a lot in mind) and I have a feeling that the radiant drought is here to stay for a LONG time. (Sory for making a lot of threads lately. Please don't yell at me more just answer. The faster you answer the faster the thread gets graveyarded.)

UFSC. 450 E for maybe 70 Radiants. That's about 6.5 Energy per Radiant, compared to 700 E for 50, which is 14 Energy per Radiant DONE GRAVEYARD pl0x

UFSC will get you more shards per energy spent, but doing 6-7 UFSC runs isn't easy due to the high cost of getting 3 people to agree on something.

The real issue with buying them is that it shows OOO that this is a good business strategy. If you don't like it, don't buy into it. The shadow lair is okish, but I'm still going to restrict the number of SLs I run for my crafting.

Assuming you are good with anything UFSC throws at you, the trip alone almost pay off your energy cost for key, counting the mats and possibly another eternal orb drop.

Bro, keep ur stuffs at lvl 10

Bro, keep ur stuffs at lvl 10 4*.

Unless its an armor piece where making it 5* would give a significant boost (i.e. Ash tail - to Snarbo)

I heard something recently

I heard something recently about how the thorn blade at 5* has a less damaging charge attack... and not just at lower heat levels. But even if it's not the case, it would be rather hard (and expensive) to get enough radiants.

The 5* thorn blade used to be outclassed by the 4* thorn blade, but OOO came in and nerfed the 4* thorn blade's attack quite some time ago.

People try to laugh at me for

People try to laugh at me for not having a ton of CE/cr.

It's just kind of hard to hear them all the way at the top of my mountain of radiants.

Guys

I've solved the radiant famine.

Buy radiant forge boxes from the AH.
Open them for some radiant fire crystals.
Also get some lucky ones with a SL key (bound).
Use the SL keys to farm more radiants!

What is that? You say someone needs radiants to get the forge boxes?
Eh, there's enough people with radiants stockpiled. They just need to get to work farming forge boxes for everyone else.
