Nikana stance farming makes me crazy

[(PSN)NewcastleDisease]

Hi there,

so, now i have a request for help to you, tenno 🙂

i try to get

- Decive Judgement

- Tranquil Cleave 

for tranquil the wiki says, it drops from arid and frontier butcher. for decive the wiki says arid, frontier and normal heavy gunner, grineer warden (and some more).

arid only spawns on grineer tilesets - which is on mars, frontier spawns on forest tilesets, which is on earth.

 

so i play several missions (i think something above 500+) on mars and earth and about 100+ round in rathum with no luck.

so my question is: is it still just bad luck or did i get something wrong?

 

thank in advance 🙂

thanks and yeah, thats a problem i think. but every one has to find their own way to play 🙂

for me, i'm not wasting plat for such things. i only buy inventory, cosmetics and some packs - mostly because i like it and to support the developers

In my opinion the best way to playing this kind of game - is trading some boring to farm things with another players. And when you finally get it with your own -  sell it to another player. A simple circle of life.

But calling things "true" or "wrong" like Lutesque does - is not correct, yep.

Neither of those mods is particularly hard to farm since the enemies that drop them are some of the most common in the game.  It's not like we're talking about a vengeful revenant sort of farm here.

I'd suggest the excavation on Earth, especially for tranquil.  Back in the day that was my go to mission for farming T1 void keys and then lith relics so I've played a bunch on that node.  Enough to have 15 tranquil's sitting in my inventory 🙂 

Survival would be OK and enhanced by a Nekros but in all other ways the mission rewards are just worse than excavation.  Of course for excavation now you could use Khora and her augment pretty effectively so that kind of washes out the nekros reason to go survival.

Seems you got some proper farming answers, so Im just going to say way back in the day I spent hours upon hours on Earth trying to go for Tranquil cleave, before after like a full week of like 6 hours of farming per day I finally just bought it. I dont think Ive ever had the privilege of seeing it drop, granted Im hardly ever on earth outside of the Plains but still. This is just my experience though, and this was wayyyy back before I 'mellowed out' for this game and realized doing a hard grind just isn't how the game should really be played unless you can REALLy stick throug hit. Sense Ive just started doing things slowly, and if it takes an abnormally long amount of time for something to drop for me (or Im just sick of doing the activity that provides it) Then ill probably buy it as by that point, I felt Ive shoved enough hours into it that the fact it didn't drop is just my crappy luck and Id rather just get my reward. (as for me after doing a grind for X amount of time even finally getting the reward will just feel hollow after a point, more like 'god yes it's finally over' and not 'Yey I got it heck yes!', Ive had enough of the former to the point that I dont want that to happen to other grinds, so I dont really go for mods anymore and any other drop from a specific activity Ill just grab if it doesn't drop in the first 50-100 runs or something, depends on the activity)

BUt to get back to your point yes, your luck is about average from my experience, but I wish you luck in your adventures all the same 👍

Same here!!

Unless you're doing a purist run (no trading or buying items for the sake of the challenge) I'd suggest farming up the small amount of plat to trade for it. I understand trading for items can feel like cheating, but it helps if you think of it as a built-in game mechanic, not a bypass.

Hey OP I can respect you wanting to farm it yourself as that's what I did a lot of the time too. People seem to have covered the "where" for these drops so I'll just add a method of increasing your odds. I assume you're playing this solo? If so then you want to take a nekros for the despoil but you also want to use a high status slash based weapon so it cuts your enemy into several pieces when you kill them. All of these pieces then have a chance to drop the mod, best of luck!

It is anoying....

A normal human being would be annoyed by putting in effort only for the game to not spit out a reward.... 

This is fact....

If it doesn't  annoy then you simply have a Higher Torence for that thing... 

its not Preference.... why would a normal person prefer to get screwed over ? 

I do too.... 

But the game is going punish you for wanting to play that way... mind you you're talking to someone who refused to buy anything other than Slots with the first account I started.... so I understand why OP wants to grind things the hard way and all the consequences that come with it....

But that doesn't the system itself isn't annoying.... 

Mate, SHUT UP. All you're doing is derailing OP's thread and providing nothing of use. Go be useless somewhere else. This is player's helping players, not Lutesque expressing his thoughts.
