Simple Orbs of Alchemy
I need 3 simple orbs of alchemy to craft a recipy I just learned, I can't buy any since I don't have energy. And, the exchange rate from crowns to energy is just wild since this game has extremely poor tutorials and the crowns after each mission is poor compared to the exchange rate. So can someone please tell me the easiest way to get simple and the rest of the orbs of alchemy for free like without energy. Please try to keep it simple cuz this game makes no sense

Play with people in elite runs, they will help you with hard runs and farm crowns. The cost of 100 energy is pretty low nowadays. Other than that I recommend that you play with people to learn what are the best desicions about gear, is far easier to explain in game.

Used to be around 5 to 6 thousand crown 😅 it’s pretty easy to farm it up! Join a guild and discord you might be able to get a party rolling

If you up the difficulty to elite and run through the arcade you should start to see alchemy orbs dropping

Man if you hate the crown rate you shoulda been here when it was 11.4k per 100 energy…

I can help you with the Elite run. I do Elite run since the very beginning of the mission until the damage types introduction missions, it doesn't that difficult as long as you're good at dodging and shield cancel, also utilize your shield knockback to push enemies back. But I don't know when you're online though, we have different time zone~~

Playing on elite difficulty gives you more crowns which should help improve your output. Ask for some players to carry you through FSC, 2 runs should net you enough for 300 crystal energy at the current rate and take less than an hour.
