Farming Alloy Plates

[YuureiShinji]

Hello !

 

Since I've got MANY crafts to do with my Alloy Plates, and I swear these things have the most miserable drop rate for a "common" resource in the entire game, I wondered if there was any quick way to get'em. Tips, anyone?

 

Thanks !

I'm looking for this as well. 4 missions on Venus and ~30 plates total doesn't seem all that great when you consider it takes about 500 alloy plates to build anything. Whilst the credit increase from missions was welcome and the losing of resources/items on a mission abort pretty much necessary, I'm looking at having around 800k in credits before I'll have enough alloy plates to complete a blueprint.

 

If you want a good guarantee it's probably best restarting defense missions until you get a decent amount of plates (maybe 60+?) from crates, then completing until wave 5 before restarting. Alternatively, just run Venus Prime and look for secret rooms a lot.

<p>Run Sedna - Kappa, you get roughly 15k exp a run for the frame, tons of mods, and it drops alloy plates and rubedo. By the time you max 1 frame, you'll have enough to build other stuff (usually)</p>

Yeah alloy plates and rubedo are the hardest "common" materials to get...

I mean seriously, when I farm for rubedo I get 2-3 morphics in a run...

when I farm for alloy plates I get a S#&amp;&#036;load of neurodones (or whatever they are called)...

Really feels like drops for common materials is lower than rare materials... except maybe control modules and neural sensors

Rubedo's farmable on Valefor and comes in ~20 units bundles. Alloy Plates, on the other hand, seems even rarer, and I never get more than 14-15 of'em each time I get some. It's still one step further into the farming hell :/

Anything in sedna run enough and you will get alloy plate and rubido.  

 

It is a total pain to farm though

Like someone else said, currently Kappa is the best bang for your farming buck if you are looking for alloy plate, rubedo, and mods.  I usually get about 50-60 alloy plate per run, more rubedo than that, and 10+ mods.  On top of that the exp is absurd!  Just make sure you go in relatively prepared seeing as some runs seem to spawn way more grineer than others!

Where can the player who are to low level for Sedna farm this mats ?

[tsubasakuroi]

You can play on Venus but from my experience Alloy plates there just really don't like dropping much.

[Firebat86]

Alloy plate drops from Venus, Ceres, and Sedna.  Venus the drop rate is terrible, and when it does drop it's in incredibly small amounts.  Sedna is only 18-25 which really isn't all that high...  Ceres is actually 25-35, making it the most "difficult" planet to farm it on.  Might be best to just make your way to Sedna since you will probably be around the correct level once you get there! =D

I personally like Sedna since you also get rubido.

If you guys have low level Warframes, but want to farm Sedna- Kappa, just add me in-game. As long as you have a decent internet so you can host for me, I'll gladly help when I'm out of class.

I personally farm Venus for Alloy Plate. Although the drop is smaller, the level is a leisure stroll, where you could almost ignore the enemies, just swatting them aside when they get in your way. Can gain mastery xp over those weapons you hardly ever use on the higher-level missions as well.

 

Going on Raid type mission also yield at least one mod/item, which is crappy, but still better than nothing.

 

Due to the no stress, I actually think it can be more effective than say Ceres, simply because you could run more times especially in Solo (can pause).

 

But if equipment and frame level are good, agree that Sedna seems to be more time-efficient, since it yields Rubedo as well.
