Trinkets are always the annoying part of any new player project in ARC Raiders, and the Red Coral Jewelry is no exception. The Riven Tides update introduced the Avian Alarm project, and stage 5 requires you to hand in 3 pieces of this blue-quality trinket alongside two Turbine Compressors, four Roots, and a Sirena Dorata Ship Model. The jewelry itself sells for 5,000 coins per piece, so any extras you pull are worth keeping for the economy. Here’s exactly where to find it reliably.
Where does Red Coral Jewelry spawn?
Red Coral Jewelry falls under the commercial and residential loot category. That means it spawns inside drawers, cabinets, and shelves found in houses, apartments, hotels, and shops. The drop rate is random across all lootable containers, but focusing on dense residential zones dramatically shortens your search time.

info
Check every single container you pass, even small ones. Trinkets like Red Coral Jewelry can appear in any lootable object in commercial or residential areas, not just the obvious shelves.
What are the best locations to farm Red Coral Jewelry?
Buried City (highest priority)
Buried City is the single best map for trinket farming, period. The density of residential and commercial buildings means you have more containers per square meter than anywhere else. Based on community testing documented by AltChar, Santa Maria Houses and Abandoned Highway Camp had the highest trinket drop rates tested across nearly 500 hours of gameplay. The full list of priority POIs:
- Grandioso Apartments (multiple floors of containers)
- Santa Maria Houses (top drop rate confirmed)
- Plaza Rosa (shops with shelves)
- Piazza Arbusto (residential containers)
- Space Travel (commercial area)
- Abandoned Highway Camp (high trinket density)
- Library (additional container spots)
Bird City map condition (secondary method)
This is the sleeper pick. When the Bird City map condition is active, every chimney on the map gets stuffed with trinkets. There are a lot of chimneys across Buried City, and the loot pool includes Red Coral Jewelry. The downside is that Bird City is a map condition, so you cannot guarantee it will be active when you load in. When it is active, though, it is one of the fastest ways to stack trinkets. Any extras you pull that aren’t jewelry sell for solid credits.
info
Map conditions like Bird City are random per session. If you need the jewelry quickly, don’t wait around for this condition. Use Buried City’s standard residential zones as your primary farm.
Other maps (backup options)
If Buried City is too contested or you want to spread your runs, every other map has residential zones where the jewelry can drop. The specific POIs across maps, as documented by Deltia’s Gaming:
Riven Tides has only one confirmed strong location for this trinket (Hotel Panorama Azzurro), so it is the weakest map for dedicated farming.
Can you get Red Coral Jewelry while Beachcombing?
Yes, technically. As noted by PC Gamer, the Beachcombing activity on Riven Tides has a chance to surface Red Coral Jewelry from buried loot. The catch: Beachcombing is slow, has a massive loot pool, and is not efficient if jewelry is your only target. The upside is that you can also find Ship Models for the Last Resort event while you’re at it, which makes it a reasonable choice if you’re already working on the Beachcombing map condition guide for other reasons.
warning
Don’t make Beachcombing your primary Red Coral Jewelry farm. The loot pool is too large and the time investment too high. Stick to Buried City residential areas for reliable results.

How to speed up your farm
Certain map conditions improve trinket drop rates across the board. Running Night Raid, Electromagnetic Storm, or Cold Snap sessions gives you a better chance of pulling trinkets from containers. Cold Snap is particularly useful if you’re also farming other resources. Check out the Candleberries farming guide for Cold Snap route ideas you can combine with a trinket sweep.
The practical approach:
- Load into Buried City during any active map condition that boosts loot
- Hit Santa Maria Houses first, then Grandioso Apartments
- Open every drawer, cabinet, and shelf you pass
- If Bird City is active, sweep the chimneys before doing anything else
- Extract with your 3 pieces and any bonus trinkets for extra coins
What else do you need for Avian Alarm stage 5?
Red Coral Jewelry is just one part of the stage 5 requirement. The full list:
- 3x Red Coral Jewelry (this guide)
- 2x Turbine Compressors (you do not need to kill Arc Turbines to get these)
- 4x Roots
- 1x Sirena Dorata Ship Model
The Ship Model requirement ties directly into the Last Resort event. If you want to knock out multiple objectives in one run, check out our Ship Models locations guide to plan an efficient route.
