Playing offline will definitely deny you any significant means of earning Rift Crystals. The fastest way to earn Rift Crystals is to have other players use your pawn, or create a second account to hire your Arisen's hire each OTHER'S pawns. Both methods require online play. Otherwise, you have to SLOWLY grind Bitterblack and pick up crumbs of Rift Crystals.

As such, I highly recommend you save your precious Rift Crystals to purify the Level 3 weapons and Armor instead. Forget purifying the Bitterblack Novelties and Gear until you feel sufficeintly powerful or until you feel you have a surplus of Rift Crystals. Purifying a single Bitterblack Weapon Lv.3 will cost you 28,000 RC, so be very stingy !

I should also mention that you can just BUY Rift Crystals from the Online store (with REAL world money) if you decide to go that route, but I don't recommend it. It's more cost effective (and fun) to use one of the other 2 methods I mentioned above to get the Rift Crystals you need.
