Kopikatsu Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The wiki says it's only uncommon, but man. In twenty runs of alternating between Oro and Pacific, I've gotten about 200 Rubedo. Is there a way to like...expedite this process? Because I really want to make some Warframes, and Rubedo is all I need to finish Trinity and Ash.

NumberFiveee Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Rubedo is not rare atm.. Just do the Infested defence mission in Europa to get tons of rubedo.. If you can't.. You'll need to farm from lootable containers.. But fromt he uncommon materials i believe Alloy plates are the most uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I did a couple of sets of 15 waves Infested defense missions and i got about 300 rub. Dont know if that was pure luck but try that out. Look for an area that has Infested defense mission with rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamnikPucek Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Are you clearing entire levels? I usually get 50-100 each Oro run. Do not rely solely on mob drops for it, look for especially the chests (or eggs in spaceship maps with the current update ;P) though they drop out of lockers sometimes too. Make sure to look in every nook and cranny of the level, more often then not, there are several paths open that the actual mission will not take you to. Also, as others have pointed out, the infested defense mission is a good source too, lots of mobs, usually killed in close proximity so easy to gather.

Cleverbird Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Considering that I'm currently sitting on enough Rubedo to create a small asteroid right about now, I wouldnt say its exactly rare. Just do the defense mission on Europa, you'll rack up tons of the stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimicus Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 It is really important when farming on non defense missions to go the routes that aren't towards the objective and loot all crates and lockers. If you do not do this then you can't have high expectations for finding anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhill Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) When I went through and cleared all of the Europa maps, I got on average just over 100 rubedo a map. That planet is a rubedo goldmine. And yes make sure you open up every last locker and crate. Edited March 30, 2013 by DrPhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldragonz Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 actually since U7 its got easier to get, with the addition of another rail system that drops it. europa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopikatsu Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I was looting and killing everything, but that was in the Earth sector. I guess I'll try Europa and see how that goes. Edit: What's a good primary for killing Infested? Shotgun is too slow (and I don't feel like investing tons of credits into getting 100-120% multishot), Paris is too slow,, Latron can't handle the swarms... I did try out the Braton for the first time a few hours ago, and I was really getting into that. Sort of drained ammo pretty quickly though, but it's completely unmodded and I was bringing it into Earth (It's still at a low rank). I feel like all my weapons are pretty terrible, but then I realized I haven't really been upgrading my mods. But it costs so much...bleh.

Fitzhugh Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) It's not that rare, no, but it isn't very easy to get and you never find it large quantities. Biggest Rubedo drop I've gotten might have been like 25 with the majority of the drops being around 16-19, so they can be really annoying and/or frustrating to farm when you go through levels and only get 1 or 2 drops. I started farming some of the mats for the ember blueprints and then I realized after leveling a Volt to 25 and Nyx to 17, I hadn't even collected 300 Rubedo. I had maybe 220. You need 600 total for the chassis and helmet :X.... Rubedo is in a similar boat with alloy plate, but I have had better luck finding alloy.

Munx Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Can't speak for anyone else, but so far rubedo is the material that is giving the most headache. Prob because I generally don't like to solo, and I don't want to hold a group back by looting every single container on the map. I much prefer the "rare" materials of boss mobs. Rubedo has become so problematic for me to find, that Im activly avoiding recipies that use it with the exception of frames -.- Alloy feels alot easier to get since you'll get quite a bit just from doing the rhino bp boss.

I haven't had a problem with Alloy Plate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixMercurous Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 800. 300 for helmet and 500 for chassis, I believe it was. I haven't had a problem with Alloy Plate though. Pre u7 it was 500 for a helmet and 300 for a chasis, 800 total. It changed in u7; my Saryn chasis only takes 50 to craft and I think my Banshee helmet took a similar amount. Rubedo isn't very rare once you get to a solid level with good mods and weapons because Earth, Europa, Sedna, and Pluto all drop it. I actually ended up with more rubedo than I need just by unlocking all of Sedna and most of Europa. I think I've gotten ~1500 rubedo after u7.

I have 9 chassis and 10 helmet blueprints in my foundry at this moment, all of which show those numbers. I don't have Saryn bps (sold the dupes for cash right after I crafted her) or Banshee bps (haven't tried to get her yet), so those might be oddballs. Can't remember what I spent for Saryn; just assumed the numbers were the same as all others and hit craft as soon as I had the bps. In closed beta there was sort of an unspoken code in pug groups. In most systems, most people would maybe break convenient containers and open convenient lockers while skipping farther ones or dead-end rooms. But on Earth most people would break all the containers and check every little dead-end room and mark rubedo drops like they marked mods. I don't know if people still do that now; I haven't been running Earth since u7. Got enough rubedo opening up Europa and Sedna to craft 3 frames. :) What is the name of this mission? Valefor.

Edit: What's a good primary for killing Infested? Shotgun is too slow (and I don't feel like investing tons of credits into getting 100-120% multishot), I think shotguns are still the best - assuming you've modded for base damage and multishot. Of course the mods matter. In Infested missions, the long range and high accuracy at a distance of the Snipetron, and even rifles like the Latron and Braton is inconsequential. That means shotguns are excellent in that slot. The only issue is the limited magazine size and relatively long reload time. Usually I fire my shotgun until it runs dry, then I switch to my pistol (usually a Bronco for Infested missions) and use melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifreet Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 One way to mat farm is to enter Grineer Mobile Defence with a Loot Radar Card, there are always like 10+ crates at starting area. Destroy, quit, repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
