Brey223 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Killing three specters is going to be incredibly time consuming. Going to earth and spending an hour in extermination or capture to scan the plants during the right time of day seems overly tedious. Anyone got a better way for those?

The grind for the parts of the apothic is real, but there are some quick ways of finding stuff if you know where to look. For scanning i usually use a nuke equinox so i have my scanner out all the time and no need for shooting stuff. The wiki shows the best places for scnanning.

0 Wyrmius_Prime Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It took me like 15 minutes from start to finish since I already had some leftover day cycle plants in my inventory. The only way you could possibly get #*!%ed is that if you need to wait for the next day/night cycle on Earth for the correct plants. Rest of them are incredibly easy to find and farm. You have the entire week to do the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then pray to RNGesus that you get the right tileset. You can force specific tiles by playing Capture or Sabotage missions. At least on Earth both of the guaranteed big sabotage tiles have guaranteed plant spawns. Also a lot of dead end tiles have plants there and capture mission generally have massive maps with lots of dead ends. The plants on Lua, Mars and Corpus outpost tilesets spawn on nearly every outdoor tile. I can see that you haven't even tried farming any yet. The Grineer asteroid base tiles have set location that the moss spawns on every single time. Edited July 15, 2019 by Wyrmius_Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loot radar is for the caches specifically. Thus if you can squeeze enough efficiency in your Limbomb you can kill all the enemies exclusively with Cataclysm which will also destroy crates.... Meaning you can go through the whole mission with the Scanner equiped... scanning plants as you see them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find a forma bp after 50 runs but honestly 2 runs were more than enough for all the plants I needed for the nightwave challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't meant to add effeciency to farming a single thing.... Its to add effeciency into farming multiple things at once.... Farming one thing at a time is a sure fire way to get dissapointed.... thats why I always search for caches when im doing Void Sabotage....

But what do you actually gain from the caches or enemy drops? Credits? Common mods? Resources you already have millions of? At the point that you've completed the Silver Grove quest, regular sabotage missions or enemy drops offer you nothing new lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Link Mods.... you are likely to get atleast one of them before you have all the plants More importantly the quest maybe complete and night wave maybe complete but The Knave Spectre will still be summonable.... meaning if you have the constitution for it you can farm Both Growing Power and Bite simultaneously.

Looks like we have the same plan. I have the link mods and bite and maul. but I was going to use my brand new Nekros to try to get growing power. But I need one more plant to get the nightfall apothic. Sigh. I actually have to do the Titania quest anyway, so... another frame! It's any of the guardians, right? That is, if I just do the three apothics and the quest that should do it, right? Edited July 15, 2019 by (NSW)Badger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 THE_ZEEK Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) Quickguide for the silver grove scanning ~ You'll be needing 3 apothic.. and you will have to have completed the silver grove quest to do this. I would suggest going in with a nuke equinox or ember and use your scanner.. ( if you run into problems , just drop a specter or go with a buddy that has a frame that complements the equinox ( rhino roar / equinox// ember) Easiest stuff to build is the twilight apothic.: Moonlight Jadeleaf can rarely be found on the Grineer Forest tileset on Earth, but only during the tileset's nighttime phase. Ruk's Claw can be commonly found on the Grineer Settlement tileset on Mars, usually on walls and corners. Lunar Pitcher can be commonly found on the Orokin Moon tileset on Lua, either in vases or amongst the rubble. WHat time is earth on nighttime?

Alright guys go scan plants for 30 minutes or more. Then pray to RNGesus that you get the right tileset. E-prime on earth, basically the first mission on Earth has the silver grove 99% spawned. Just equip the apothic in your gearwheel and the game will indicate when you are on the tileset with the silver grove sanctuary. https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Apothic#Twilight Edited July 15, 2019 by THE_ZEEK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Softballbryan Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I ran eprime on earth three times and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ceanmunt Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The fact that some people will complain about everything and anything is beyond me. I have over 500 plants from Ceres just from scanning the first 2, or last 2 , that spawn on nearly every mission. I have a tonne of the Earth one's just from scanning when i do a Mobile Defense, or a Lith fissure i can run around with Equinox afk killing while i scan along the way. Literally takes next to no thinking to get the materials, and anyhow, you have a whole week in which to get them. Or do people forget that you need to actually work for some things?

I might just do the quest then and put the farm on my backlog of farms. Not really.... The nightfall Apothic is the important one because thats the one that Summons the Knave spectre which is the one that drops Growing power and Crimson Dervish. You can grab it from the market.... Its only the other two apothics that are locked behind the quest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 (NSW)CthulhuAzathoth Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I ran into the same problem at prev round of NW. At the end, I over collect everything just in case this task come back to live 😁. I still have enough left over parts to make 10 of them and should last for next 3 round of NW.

Spend some time between nightwaves collecting the required resources and building the required items. Every time you visit earth, ceres etc.spend some time with a scanner equipped. Whether during a normal, a relic opening, a sortie etc. Easy. It is not as if this "challenge" is a surprise. Have fun and may RNG be forever in your favor.
