I've been browsing for the "Players helping Players" section of the forums, seeing what it has to offer and/or what I have to offer to newer players. I've noticed one thing, however, and that is that there is no general farming thread for absolutely everything, which is disappointing. So, I decided to create a farming guide for anyone who is looking for absolutely ANYTHING really fast and rather efficiently (on the star chart), at least in terms of resources. Here it goes;
Fusion Cores:
Cyath, Eris
Fusion Core farming is one of those things where it is fairly hard to label a definite yes. Cyath, from personal experience, is very good. Having said that, If you do T4 Survival, you will be getting the absolute top tier in terms of Fusion cores. One time in a T4 Survival, which went for 40 minutes, I got 21 Rare 5 fusion cores. 21.
Credits:
Seimini, Ceres
It's a higher level, meaning that it might be hard for newer players, but having said that it is the infestation, aka easy kills. It is dark sector with a 18k reward, and a high XP gain. Only go to 5, and make sure you have a SpeedNova to spam absolutely as much MP as possible, and maybe Vauban so you don't get overloaded. If you want an easier time, Mesa and Exalibro are nice too. I was getting about 350 k an hour, which does not include selling mods. It is definitely the best credit farm in the game, with the exception being void capture missions. If you have a key, do a capture in the void, with a volt. That could net millions of credits an hour.
XP (not frames):
Draco, Ceres
Also a higher level, and everyone should know why this is great. If you don't, just go to the recruiting tab in WF. You'll see
Syndicate XP:
Draco, Ceres
Ya, you know.
XP (frames):
Kappa, Sedna
This is a weird one. It is a mobile defense mission, but ends with a sort of time defense. It nets pretty huge rewards, and I can usually max out a frame here in around an hour to two hours. It is also a lower-level location, so going into this with a level 1 frame (and a good weapon) isn't unbearable. Having said that, where you go is also pretty dependent on your frame. For example, using Loki, Ash, or any frame where melee is your primary utility, you should go to Akkad, Eris. If you are using a rifle, then I heavily suggest traveling to Sechura, Pluto. Both of those locations are dark sector defenses with infestation as the enemy, and high level. This means that having at least one SpeedNova is nice, as well as Vauban. Also, they net you extra XP for kills with a rifle or melee. Also, check out Xini, Eris, which is about as good (maybe better, but has harder enemies).
Alloy Plates:
Draco, Ceres
I know I've already mentioned this location a few times, but it is just so good. Literally, soooo good. I had spend a boatload of Alloy plates and had been left with around 50 alloy plates, which isn't much. In a matter of minutes on Draco, I had a couple hundred alloy plates, as well as a ton of XP, etc. Try checking out Salad V on Themisto, Jupiter as well. If you have any void mission, then definitely head to the void as well.
Argon Crystals:
T4 Survival
Ya ya ya I know. "But Hools, this post says only in the Star chart! Y U SO CLEM?" or "What the HEK (get what I did there XD) Hools, T4 Survivals are ULTRA hard to get now that faction's don't sell them. Y U SO CLEM?" But here's the truth. You don't really need Argon Crystals until the higher level / end-game stuff. Plus, it only lasts for 24 hours, meaning you have to go in SPECIFICALLY looking for Argon Crystals. Since this resources is so limited, it's hard for me to recommend anything but T4 survival or defense because even T3 void missions don't net you HALF the Argon as T4.
Circuits:
Draco, Ceres
Again. I know, right?
Control Module:
Larzac, Europa
In the infinitely tiny chance that you run out of Control Module, head over to Larzac, Europa. It nets a good amount, and with the addition of positive resources from the Dark Sector, it's really nice. If you can check out the void too (especially capture missions).
Detonite Ampule:
Draco, Ceres
Tired of hearing it yet?
Fieldron Sample:
Io, Jupiter
This place is great for farming Fieldron samples just because of the high influx of enemies attacking a single location. I HIGHLY recommend Io for Fieldron Samples as well as Neural Sensors because this is by far the best location to farm them.
Ferrite:
Appolodorus, Mercury
This is a really easy run, which will get you quite a lot of ferrite. Even the dark sectors are only slightly more effective, but this run is soo dang easy its not worth going anywhere else.
Gallium:
Assur, Uranus
This survival mission throws infested at you for EVER. You get quite a lot of Gallium in a short time.
Morphics:
Heracon, Pluto
This place has a crazy +35% resource drop, meaning that it is just insane for Morphics. You get a lot in a fairly short period of time. I've never actually run out of morphics, but have heard that this place is the place to go.
Mutagen Sample:
Xini, Eris
Back when I was crafting the Ichor's (and later Djinn) Xini came in as a god-send. It took little to no effort and I was collecting quite a lot of Mutagen Samples. It's been a while since I needed to farm Mutagen Samples, but I assume Xini is as good as ever.
Nano Spores:
Xini, Eris
Xini will net a solid amount of Nano spores every run, and I CAN'T recommend any other location for this.
Neural Sensor:
Io, Jupiter
This is a corpus defense, but doesn't require much of anything to do. Stay to round 20, and by then I was getting about 5 (average) neural sensor, which is really really good. A good second, if you are looking for an easier time, is Sinai, Jupiter.
Neurodes:
Xini, Eris
For experienced Tenno, this place used to be the haven for farming all things awesome. To be honest, it is really good at farming all the resources available on Eris, and you could argue that it is the best for those items. It also should have been closer to the top of the XP farm, but because the dark sector's offer so much extra XP for killing with a certain weapon type, I found going to those places was only slightly better. Also, Lephantis is very good for collecting Neurodes.
Orokin Cell:
Draco, Ceres
Up until about two weeks ago, I thought that ODA was a good place to farm cells. Then, I started farming Draco A LOT and realized I was netting about 4 cells every run, which is ridonculous. Kiste, Ceres has also been a fairly good location for cells. If you have the key, however, head over to Orokin Derilect Assassination, and kill Lephantis.
Oxium
Cerberus, Pluto
On Cerberus, I was netting around 400 Oxium a game, with a max at 550, which is really good in terms of Oxium per second
Rubedo:
Amarna, Sedna
Every once in a blue moon, I run out of Rubedo. When I do, I head over to Amarna for around twenty minutes, which will jumpstart my Rubedo collection again for another 6 months
Salvage:
Amarna, Sedna
Same thing applies to salvage as Rubedo... except, well, I never run out of salvage. If it comes to it, check out Cobb Salad V on Themisto, Jupiter.
Plastids:
Akkad, Eris
This dark sector location is GREAT for farming Plastids. Xini is just about as good, and is all about preference
Polymer Bundles:
Titania, Uranus
So I was building a few weapons again, for mastery, and I did end up running out of Polymer Bundles. Needing to farm them, I went to Boetheus, Mercury, which used to be pretty good and excesivelly easy. Only netting about 50-60 a run, I went to other places. From there, I discovered Titania. Run through this mission, open up any boxes on your way, and youll net around 200 for a run that takes less time. Great for Polymer Bundles.
Tellurium:
Galilea, Jupiter
If you are farming for Itzal parts (or any other Archwing that comes in the future), then you are going to need Tellurium. Since the Itzal needs 4 to complete, you may need to farm for it for a while. On running this mission, I received about 1 tellurium per mission, which was significantly more than any other mission.
So, to sum this up, there is a location that will net you abundant amounts of just about everything without a boatload of effort. Remember that most of these are infested defenses, so things like SpeedNova, Vauban, etc. will be great utility. Don't forget that when it comes to XP, your final XP is shared around everything you have equipped, so If you are only trying to upgrade one thing, maybe don't equip a sentinel, or a secondary, etc. If I am missing anything, ask and I will edit to include farming for that. Thanks!
