I'd like to point out on this note, that at 20 tomes per CE, Occult Crescent is currently one of the fastest ways to earn Heliometry..
If you stay in the zone for any extended period of time, you will not struggle to earn your remaining weapons.

Whereas methods outside of the instance will be beholden to queue times, they will take much longer to attain the same tome count by compare due to how frequently CE's currently spawn.
As such, it is not a stretch to say that you would be doing yourself a genuine disservice towards earning the other relics you want to obtain if you were to do so outside of the instance.
