Level 76 here as well. Guild store is the ONLY way I get the furnaces to get to gear 9 and still have yet to get anyone here. Wedge is my highest priority and I still need two pieces. Lol.

Furnaces are one of the better deals for crystals. But yeah, ideally you want to be in a guild doing heroic rancor regularly, and then even if they don't drop for you you can request them from your guildmates.
So you’re saying at some point it’s best to save crystals instead of refreshes for those peaky gear pieces?
Some people would do the math on expected drop rates and crystal refresh costs and tell you that you are better off farming a stun cuff, say, than saving up and buying one in the store. I get frustrated farming gear because the RNG is miserable, and the difference isn't that big, so I prefer to save up and buy them. For things that aren't farmable, like furnaces, you don't have the option, and it can definitely be worth it to buy them for crystals if you need them.
However, since you are not level 85 yet, refreshes are more important because they also help you to level faster, so that changes the calculus as well. It could still be worth buying the furnace to get the gear level for your arena team to earn more crystals in arena, but it's not that clear cut.
Sorry, I know that's not as helpful as just giving you a single answer to run with, but it's a number of factors to weigh to make the decision.
