Zodian is a rare gem that can be found on Orb Vallis, and can be turned in to 
Solaris United's Standing by Smokefinger at Fortuna, Venus for 
1,000 each, or refined into 
Radiant Zodian.
Acquisition[]
Zodian can be acquired from two different sources:
- Mined from blue mineral veins in Orb Vallis with the Advanced Nosam Cutter or the Sunpoint Plasma Drill, each yielding 1 unit.
- Also available from red veins in Orb Vallis upon hitting the square bracket bonus spot.
- Dropped as a common loot of Exploiter Orb, each loot yielding 7-8 units. On rarer occasions, the grand boss may drop multiple instances of the loot, making it possible to get 14-16 or even 21-24 units per kill.
