For players diving into Arc Raiders’ Riven Tides update, Red Coral Jewelry has become a key item-whether you’re completing the Avian Alarm Project or looking to boost your in-game economy. This blue-quality trinket is required for Stage 5 of the Avian Alarm Project (you’ll need 3 pieces), and it sells for a generous 5,000 coins per piece, making extra loot well worth keeping. While it might feel elusive at first, knowing where to look and how to optimize your search will turn this tedious task into a straightforward farm. Below is a complete guide to finding Red Coral Jewelry consistently.
What Is Red Coral Jewelry, and Why Does It Matter?
Red Coral Jewelry is classified as a commercial and residential trinket in Arc Raiders. Unlike crafting ARC Raiders Materials or combat gear, it has no use in workbench upgrades or weapon modifications-but its value shines in two key ways.
First, it’s a mandatory item for the Avian Alarm Project, a limited-time event introduced in the Riven Tides update. To finish Stage 5, you’ll need to hand over 3 Red Coral Jewelry pieces, along with two Turbine Compressors, four Roots, and a Sirena Dorata Ship Model. Second, its high sell price (5,000 coins each) makes it a great way to earn quick credits, especially if you find extras during your searches.
At just 0.3 weight, Red Coral Jewelry is easy to carry in bulk, so you won’t have to sacrifice space for other essential items during your runs. Now, let’s break down the best ways to find it.
The Best Locations to Farm Red Coral Jewelry
Red Coral Jewelry spawns exclusively in lootable containers in commercial and residential zones. This means you’ll find it in drawers, cabinets, and shelves inside houses, apartments, shops, and hotels across Arc Raiders’ maps. While it can spawn on any map, some locations have far higher drop rates than others-let’s start with the top priority.
Buried City: The Top Farming Spot
Buried City is hands down the best map for farming Red Coral Jewelry. Thanks to its dense concentration of residential and commercial buildings, it has more lootable containers per square meter than any other map in the game. Community testing (over 500 hours of gameplay) confirms that certain Points of Interest (POIs) here have the highest trinket drop rates.
Focus on these POIs in Buried City for the best results: Santa Maria Houses (confirmed to have the highest drop rate), Grandioso Apartments (multiple floors of containers), Plaza Rosa (shops with shelves), Piazza Arbusto (residential containers), Space Travel (commercial area), Abandoned Highway Camp (high trinket density), and the Library (additional container spots). Take your time here-check every container you pass, even small drawers, as trinkets can spawn in any lootable object in these zones.
Bird City Map Condition: A Sleeper Farm Method
If you’re lucky enough to encounter the Bird City map condition, you’ll have access to one of the fastest trinket-farming methods in the game. When this condition is active, every chimney across the map is stuffed with trinkets-including Red Coral Jewelry.
Buried City has dozens of chimneys, so you can collect trinkets quickly when Bird City is active. The only downside is that map conditions are random per session-you can’t guarantee it will be active when you load in. Use this as a secondary method; don’t wait around for it if you need Red Coral Jewelry quickly.
Backup Maps: When Buried City Is Contested
If Buried City is too crowded with other players or you want to mix up your runs, every other map has residential and commercial zones where Red Coral Jewelry can spawn. These are reliable backup options, though their drop rates are lower than Buried City.
On Dam Battlegrounds, check Pale Apartment, Ruby Residence, Pattern House, and the Research & Administration area. In Blue Gate, focus on the Village, Raider’s Refuge, and Abandoned Housing Project. Spaceport’s Arrival Building, Departure Building, and Control Tower A6 also have containers that can spawn the trinket.
For the Riven Tides map, head to Hotel Panorama Azzurro-this is the most reliable spot for Red Coral Jewelry on this map. While beachcombing on Riven Tides can yield the trinket, it’s not recommended as a primary method, as it’s time-consuming and has a large loot pool.
Pro Tips to Maximize Your Red Coral Jewelry Farm
Even with the right locations, a few strategies can make your search faster and more efficient. First, always check every lootable container. Trinkets like Red Coral Jewelry can spawn in the smallest drawers or cabinets, so don’t skip anything-even if it seems unimportant.
Play during map conditions that boost trinket drops. Night Raid, Electromagnetic Storm, and Cold Snap conditions increase the chance of trinkets spawning in containers, making your farming runs more productive. These conditions are random, but keeping an eye out for them can save you time.
Prioritize efficiency over combat. Red Coral Jewelry is a loot item, so avoid unnecessary fights that slow you down. Stick to residential and commercial zones, and move quickly between containers-this will let you cover more ground and find more trinkets.
Sell extras for cheap ARC Raiders Coins. If you collect more than 3 Red Coral Jewelry pieces (the amount needed for the Avian Alarm Project), sell the rest. At 5,000 coins each, they’re one of the most valuable trinkets in the game, making them a great way to fund other in-game purchases.
Final Thoughts
Red Coral Jewelry doesn’t have to be a frustrating item to find. By focusing on Buried City’s high-density residential and commercial POIs, taking advantage of the Bird City map condition when it’s active, and following these pro tips, you’ll collect the 3 pieces you need for the Avian Alarm Project in no time.
Remember: patience and consistency are key. While the drop rate is random, sticking to the right locations and checking every container will ensure you never run out of Red Coral Jewelry-whether you’re completing the event or padding your in-game wallet. Happy farming, Raiders!
