Crafting Arcana Cards
You can also craft your own Arcana Card via the Transmute section. This allows you to choose all of your lines for most of the Arcana Cards at a cost. This is 100% worth doing and should be done if possible.

Crafting your own Cards will come at the cost of Crystals. Different Arcana Cards cost different Crystals. These Crystals can be Substanced Morphed by consuming Shard versions of the Crystal which are farmed from Transcendence Dungeons - different Dungeons giving different Shards.

It’s important to identify what your biggest value Skills are and which card they come from. You want to prioritize getting your key Active Skills to level 20 ASAP.
Depending on how content is released and your group, I would recommend using or putting together a cheaper Arcana set that may not be exactly be BIS lines but helps you get your Active Skills to reach level 20. Once you do this you can sit on it while you farm more Transcendence to craft your 4-line crafted Card.
Chalice and Scale has the most possible lines therefore it is the most difficult card to get perfect lines on. The other cards roll 4 lines from a pool of 6 meaning the likelihood of getting your ideal lines just from a dungeon drop or a yolo craft are pretty high. If you’re planning on doing a 4-line craft, craft the Chalice first.
Chalice and Scale have the biggest value considering you can roll any Active Skill or Passive Skill. Scale, however, is double the cost (it also won’t be available at launch).
