Where Is The Best Place To Farm Cells?

[TennoVixen]

I need 20 orokin cells to build boltor and reaper prime, but im not sure where the best location is to get them...

[mikey24356]

Kill General Sargus Ruk (Saturn assassination mission) over and over. He has a pretty good chance of dropping a cell. Usually in a 30 minute survival I get like two cells but when I kill Ruk (3 minutes, at the most) he almost always drops a cell.

Farm the absolute s***house out of Ceres' Dark Sector Defense while The Infested have it.

all dark sectors are infested, right?

You could also farm Kiste on Ceres for cells. Without a Nekros you can usually get 2-3 per run. Obviously with one you'll get a hell of a lot more though.

I like to get them in ODA. You just need to build some keys in advance or look for people who host.

idk if it is still infested but the saturn boss node when infested gives you orokin cells and vastly easier than sargas

[(PSN)jwernecke]

Yeah phorid on Ceres or Saturn is the easiest...followed by DSD on either of those 2. General Ruk is a solid 3 rd place though. Saturn was dropping them quite nicely for me the other night.

It's been a long time since I needed to so maybe there's some new node where it's easier, but I would rather farm something else and sell it for plat to buy cells from the market than farm cells directly. The drop rates anywhere and everywhere are just so low as to feel grindy to me, and I'm the guy who runs around the boards saying it's not a grind game.

 

As a part of the game I consider them a time gate, rather than a grind gate. Something that is more flexible than a harsh rank requirement, but still prevents someone from rushing to craft a whole lot of prime stuff real quick. Difference being that you will find them incidentally, at low but constant rates in many, many locations to the point that you will have plenty of them later on. I think I have around 140 laying around right now.

 

I've never been that big on boss runs. If I only needed one or two would probably try Ruk but if I needed twenty or thirty I'd definitely be selling off prime parts or mods or rep.

definitely Missions on Ceres.

don't bother with Saturn.

and don't bother with Infested if you want them 'quickly'.

 

i like Ceres Mobile Defense personally.

ABSOLUTE best way is if Phorid has control of Ceres or Saturn boss nodes.

 

Aside from that, if you have a good set up (Synoid and invis Loki), you can farm Anyo with no problems.
