Optimal Approach:
- Focus on rare items first as they are the hardest to obtain. Use groups to increase chances.
- Accumulate Void Traces and run upgraded relics for better rewards.
- You can use recruitment chat to find "Radiant Share" groups.
Refinement Tips:
- Always refine relics to Radiant for the Rare items.
- Exceptional is a good balance for Uncommon (Silver) items.
- Save Void Traces by keeping relics Intact for Common items. Use the drop percentages to decide what to do.
