thinking of making a new rapier but daunted by the fact of incredibly low drop rate of radiants.

Where have you been?

D28 of FSC, red boxes at the end yield 0-12 radiants.
Otherwise, shadow lairs all yield a more handsome reward.

Also, the last few times I've done elite OCH I've gotten 10 to 20 radiants. And deph 28 arenas can do pretty well.

Oh, yeah, you only need to do

Why hasn't anyone done this

Why hasn't anyone done this yet?

1. go to depth 28 arena
2. invite alt and go solo
3. Proceed with arena as usual.
4. When done reinvite yourself back to alt's depth 28 arena.

You can also fin radiants in

You can also find radiants in depth 27 & 28 from Arcada, but the chance is poorly low

SL Firestorm Citadel is the best place to get radiants for me.

Pain, becuz you DC after five minutes, and I don't think you can join a party you solo'd.

@Paintool

Because they patched arena looping quite some time ago?

Arena looping is only

Arena looping is only plausible like 2 times and if your PC can handle two instances of SK running. Mine usually freaks out /java

You got 4 options:

1) FSC

2) OCH

3) Supply Depot

4) Shadow Lairs on Elite (Either buy the key or chip in 450 CE for the trip/key)

5) Threads like these reproduce like rabbits. But since it sounds like you're new, I'll offer what help I can.

Oh come on Twitter.

1) Grinding. Even more than mist energy's era.

2) Grinding for 3200 Energy, or IRL money. How many people do you think have 3200 Energy just like that, anyhow?

3) 700 Energy for 50 Radiants. Around 5000 Energy to max level a weapon from 1 to 10. U srs bro?

4) And not everyone can scrounge up a party that won't flop or get that much Energy within a few weeks.

5) So do your threads about the nonexistence of unbalance.

Name ANY threads I've made before that one since December.

Also, you can't deny the truth of my radiant methods. Grinding is work, and hard work pays off. How do you think I made 2K+ radiants before the sink?

Either work hard for radiants, have your 5* stuff stay at level 1 forever. Your choice.

"But grinding =/= wo-" Quiet. It's one of the few only ways. Don't be such a baby.

By finding like 20 every set of Treasure Boxes and having way too much free time. Why?

There's the thread in the Arsenal, the few which weren't yours but were complaints and you came in saying the complaints were bad and we said how unbalance DID exist and you never replied, etc. Plus, we never even KNEW the Radiants were going to go away, so we had no incitement to grind FSC, thinking that we would get Radiants as we heated our 5* gear up. And there's the NEW Vanguards and Champions who suddenly realized "Woah I can't heat my 5* gear it's worse than my 4* level 10 stuff". What, tell them to grind FSC as a Knight Elite? As an Apprentice?

So yes, I very well can deny the proof of your radiant methods.

EDIT: "But grinding =/= wo-" Quiet. It's one of the few only ways. Don't be such a baby.

Grinding is NOT the same as work. At least work gives you a challenge. And look at my above sentence on the new Vanguards who had no opportunity to grind beforehand.

Best way is to do UFSC. I can't believe I wasted thousands of CE to heat my stuff.

Try UFSC with a good team with brandish, blitz, electron vortex. You'll be finished in about an hour. You will get around 20k++ crowns plus a maiden's tear.

You will basically get your 400 ce back plus an average of 50++ radiants every run.
