Refine a void relic?

[Mister Shan]

I need to do this to progress in the game. I got the segment but it's asking for some sort of currency to do the refinement. Is that the platinum or whatever costs real world money???

Void traces, the currency in question, is obtained via void fissure. You can obtain it after collecting 10 reactant during void fissure mission.

And how do you find those void fissure missions? They are alert only? Check the alerts? I see none now.

In the top right, find the 4th icon. First being alert, second invasion, third syndicate, fourth being void fissure. Click on the 4th icon, it should give you choices which fissure is available for you right now.

Yes. It gives you the biggest chance of getting rarer items

If the prime part you seek is rare, then 100 should be the most optimal choice. However if your objective is just to finish junction then I suppose the lowest refine should do the work.

So I need to GRIND to get enough of those to refine the relic all the way up to 100 to get a CHANCE to get an item that I will have to grind like crazy to complete the blue prints to make it?? This game is unreal with it's f2p grind. I get now why people just get frustrated and spend hundreds on these games. I love the combat and art work in this game. I rather just spend 60 bucks and have a normal game.

You dont HAVE to refine, you can ask people in your team to use a relic you need/want, and they are usually nice enough to use them for you.
Honestly I don't recommend aiming for a specific thing, (unless you NEED it), just get a bit of everything here and there, and before you know it, you already have enough to craft your item

See, that's a matter of viewpoint.

If you have 4 people with Radient (maxed) relics then the odds that one of the drops from a single fissure mission will include a rare are roughly 35%. (math is annoying but useful) Since everyone who brought a relic can pick any of the relic's drop as a reward and as many people as wish to can pick the same reward, that means a Radshare has about a 35% chance of getting you the exact rare drop you wanted. (Radshare=everyone brings a radient of the same relic)

you get traces from opening relics (or doing the mission without one if your relic poor or crazy) meaning you can crack a ton of lith relics and use the results as dukat/trade fodder before going into a Radshare for something rare and specific with that roughly 1/3 shot at getting it.

This is opposed to the old void key system (that I wish they'd make avalible again simply for verity's sake) where you could do a hard mission and get a garbage drop while everyone else who worked equally (or even less) hard as you gets something useful.

if you dont like grinding then don't play the game. you literally grind for items that help you grind better, that's the point of this game.

Go into an Aix endless mission with a group, grind for an hour, BOOM! SO MANY VOID TRACES WOW!
