FatalFatalis Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I usually go to Seimeni and do 20 waves to farm Orokin Cells, I usually get 5-9 Orokin Cells each run. But these last days (when the arbitration patch came out I think) I'm only getting like 2-4 Orokin Cells after 5 runs (20 waves each) and I have even a resource booster. I was thinking I was just extremely unlucky, but after a couple of days, this is getting ridiculous and I'm not so sure, is anyone having this issues? Did they lower Orokin Cell drops? I just want to confirm if this is only happening to me or it's happening to more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KosmicKerman Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 You might have better luck on Helene, Saturn. I’d use Nekros or Hydroid if you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamegon Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I have been wondering the same thing after the Chimera patch I'v had either really bad luck or they have really Nerfed the drop rate. I'v tried farming Exta with little luck only 1 out of 3 runs has yielded Orokin cells and last night I did sulvival run in Gabii where I killed 6000 enemys solo with Nekros and only walked away with 2 cells and one of them was from an array. I think we should start a thread or a spread sheet to see how many people are getting average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjekx Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 same here, did a run on Helen, swept every room, no cell array, only one drop from one of the containers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishyflakes Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Just do Sargas Ruk assassination instead and break crates while the noobs handle the boss. More interesting imo; plus cyan stars and possibly sculpture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoretor Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I recommend the new Draco on Ceres. I'd also like it if they replaced Control Modules with O-Cells in the Void. I mean, makes sense there'd be Orokin Cells in Orokin Towers, not to mention the Orokin Derelict has 'em as well, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopGligor Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 If I remember right, Lephantis is guaranteed to drop at least one cell. Haven't tested it in a while, but the run can be done fairly quickly, I think doing 5 lephantises would be faster than 20 waves defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoretor Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Lephantis? You nuts? Why would you do Lephantis when you can do Sargas Ruk runs? Much quicker! But seriously, Draco on Ceres, which is now a Survival mission, is best farm for O-Cells from my personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sargas Ruk, along with all the other bosses with tiny weak points are incredibly annoying to fight for me, so I avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesodos Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The droprates are definitely lower than before chimera I made some test runs and while, on average, some nodes gave 5-10 cells every 5 mins pre update(without booster) they now give 1 cell every 10 minutes WITH drop rate booster (no boss nodes tested) The test wasn't really representive (only ~10 hours) but the difference is quite significant non the less I can't tell if its intended or not but I hope that DE buffs the rates with fortuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its more efficient than Sargas Ruk but drop table mixes in neurodes and mutagen. Edited October 20, 2018 by (PS4)Hemolytica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoretor Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Huh... never knew that. Anyway, Draco on Ceres is currently (one of) best farm. No idea if drop rate's been nerfed since Chimera though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)FatMacBrbn Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 What I found is that I got more when playing with a squad. Soloing those places resulted in one or none at all after 30m. With a squad I averaged between 3 or 4 ,with at least 2, in that same amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you have 4 people rolling the drop table instead of 1, loot is shared but the roll isnt. All of the bosses have the same "chance" to drop orokin cells which is 2.52% except for corrupted vor which is 50%(the other 50% being an argon crystal) On 2018-10-20 at 5:55 PM, Zoretor said: Huh... never knew that.

Ceres/Draco doesnt drop Orokin cells according to the data we do have available https://n8k6e2y6.ssl.hwcdn.net/repos/hnfvc0o3jnfvc873njb03enrf56.html Honestly with whats in the drop table data i would farm Mot for Corrupted Vor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did a few runs of Draco on Ceres. 10 to 15 mins. Got 4 to 6 O-Cells (without booster). That said, on one of the runs I noticed 10 minutes in 0 were dropping, so I decided to extract. Ironically, there was an O-cell container near extraction point, but yeah, sometimes drop rates are in general bad on the rng... Guess that's rng for ya.

Betsill Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Been running mission for Orokin cells and the drop chance has definitely been reduced. I used to,get at least 1 but usually 2 every run on exta. I've done 8 runs and only got 2... tried other missions like Ruk, casta draco and it's the same. I need 12 orokin cells, but it's gonna take all week at this rate... Edit: Phorid drop rate seems to be unchanged and is by far the best place to farm orokin cells, so grind him while you can.
