You should have asked to buff the droprate of Eternals, not Radiants!
Why?
Eternals have an extremely low droprate and trying to buy a 3-pack is like paying a king's ransom.
So long for having an ASI Low Acheron...

I never had issues with eternal orbs. They only keep on coming. :(

But for me, it's completely pointless trying to find them.
They never drop for me. I just keep getting useless Radiants, Shinings and Sparks.

3 eternal orbs cost exactly what it took to craft 5* gear before the BS update, 800E. Also, you only need to purchase the 3 orbs once per item, whereas with radiants, you need 453/item assuming you always forge at 100% which comes out to a much higher cost, as they come in batches of 50 radiants for 700E.

If I could, I would gift you some of my Eternals. I HATE when I'm hunting for Elites and get the wrong drop >:l

Eternal orbs vs Radiants
No! Radiants are way harder to find beacause you need A LOT of them and they are freaking expensive. Orbs cost exactly as crafting before and those are pretty common. I had luck and found 4 eternal orbs today. I prefer speedruns of tier 3 arcade (only destroy boxes) and pick gate where you may find many danger rooms. Danger rooms are full of red boxes and those give you more loot and has better chance for rarity.

Eternal orbs never seem to stop dropping for me. I have like 80 of them at this point, and I just keep finding more. If only I could trade a few for your "useless" radiant fire crystals. I can't even really use my eternal orbs in good conscious due to how much 5* junk I need to heat.

I've found more Eternals than I've physically been able to use ever since the update started. Now Elites, on the other hand, those are rare little buggers.

Me
Well since i made it to Vanaguard the eternal orbs began to run away from me. They used to be a bit easier when i was a defender elite. I keep doing Vanaduke runs over and over and over and over again all day long for radiants and orbs, but i rarely get 1 eternal every 6 runs. I tried the so called Rotting Metropolis but no luck (more runs than Vanaduke, no orbs). Elite orbs are quite easy for me though, i used to grind the Roarmulus Twins since a Knight Elite and they were far away from being such a horrible problem. I still get elites with easy doing the Twins, but eternals on the other hand... Bad luck is to blame. How come i'm the only one who is always lacking in eternals? I don't use them so often but they always refuse to drop for me, but they gladly drop for everyone else. I've seen people with 16 or 18 eternals while i had just 2 or 3 of them...

Radiants are consumed in much larger quantities than eternals. Personally, I have 100+ eternals and won't be able to spend them all for the rest of my life. (I have significantly less than 30 5* pieces of gear I'd like to craft.)
If someone started post-drought, I could see how that's different.
However, us veterans will remember a time where putting 800 energy to craft a 5* weapon was the only way to go about it, and it was alright.

1 thing
Just 1 thing: how dare you call Radiants useless??? As Zeddy said they are consumed in much larger quantities than eternals, and they don't drop all over startum 5 and, only at depth 25 (rarely) and onward.

Well
So far, I have not had a problem with Eternal Orbs dropping. I found three Eternal Orbs in one treasure vault. The ones that need a little improvement on drop rate is the Advanced Orbs. I have so many Elite and Eternal Orbs and they drop way more often than Advanced Orbs. At least for me lol. So with the Advanced Orbs, I just buy them from the depot if I need to.
It's true about the Radiants being consumed far more than Eternal Orbs. At level 5 you start using almost 50 Radiants just to level! *passes out* @_@

@Theirillusion: Whoa. where did you find all the radiants? Do you play 24/7?
![[Cog] pls](http://i.imgur.com/pOoo2mk.jpg){kind=link}
Their drop rate isn't that bad. And there isn't nearly as high a demand for them as for radiants. And as far as I know 50 rads have the same price as 3 orbs.
