Toroid farming and buying toroids

[Joltyboi]

you know how you can farm toroids by having enemies put down beacons at one of 3 places to spawn loads of enemies? let us buy blueprints that we can use to craft our own beacons, that way we wouldnt be able to accidentally destroy them, and we could have the enemies spawn exactly where we want much easier

another thing ide like is to be able to buy toroids from little duck, im having absolutely terrible luck getting into a toroid farming group cause theres literally NO ONE doing groups in recruiting chat, and im now at a halt with levelling up vox solaris, and im 2 levels from max with them so this is really pissing me off, so just let us be able to buy them from little duck like you can with gyromags for example

If raising your reputation with Vox Solaris is your intention, may I suggest running the Exploiter Orb mission?  The Lazulite (sp?) gives 12k rep per orb, and you get a guaranteed orb per fight.  Bring a resource booster and double your orb count.  Not to mention all the other resources she drops.

i dont need them for the rep part of the reputation, i need them as things required to actually level up, for example im level 3 in vox right now, i have all the rep needed to level up to level 4, but the only items im missing are 10 sola toroids

Ahhh I see.  Then yes, I do strongly agree with you that toroid drops need a boost.  I'm in the same situation myself.

its not even the drops from the standard farms, i just want the alternate methods of toroid farmings drops buffed, like make them more common in caves, or make the bounties that can drop them drop them at a higher drop rate, or, like i suggested, just let us straight up buy them from little duck like you can with gyromags

Honestly, just scrap the 6000 and 12 000 Toroids, then have the Exploiter and the Profit-Taker drop 2 of each, or 6 total with some combination of each of the three. And maybe give Little Duck a recipe for them, similar to how Onko has a recipe for Cetus Wisps. That would cut down on a lot of the RNG nonsense.

I think a basic rule of thumb DE should apply to these drop chances is to never go below 10% on anything required for advancing syndicate standing. 1.1% drop chance on enemies is absolutely rubbish, given the quantities needed to rank up. Ideally these should in the 20% range, or the rank-up requirements should be maybe 1 Toroid. Maybe 2 for the max rank advancement. 

Alternatively, allow some sort of Toroid exchange, since Calda toroids are relatively easy to get, and exchanging 2 or 3 of these for a Toroid of a different type would be handy.
