Where Is The Most Effective/efficient Place To Farm Forma?

[(PSN)B0XMAN517]

I'm not new to this game and I'm aware that if you spend a lot of time in the void you have blueprints for months so please take this post seriously or just ignore it.

I have limited playtime and am trying to find the best place to farm multiple forma so I can get it out of the way for a bit and play missions that I enjoy. Since I have so many t4 survival keys, from arbiters, I go there often. Despite all the threads complaining about forma bps crowding their drop tables, I'm lucky if I get one on rot C on a 40 min run.

Looking at the drop tables d1 defense seems like it would be the go to place; easy mission and bps drop rot A and C, but their chances are very low.

TL;DR: So I turn to the community once again, where do you seem to find the most formas? If you were to farm formas where would you go?

Well,any time i see another thread of "too many forma bpzzzz",it's usually T4D.

I'll try that now too.

Before you begin any Void mission, clearly state that you dont want a Forma BP.

 

And before you know it, that will be all you ever get for a week.

t4i isn't a bad place to farm them.  Not really the best but I hate defense so thats where i go.

Multi reward missions are your best bet for efficiency so like above, defense, survival, and interception.

Farm high level spy missions. You often get T3 sabotages, which also quite often give full formas as a reward. You can also level/forma weaponry to create and endless cycle.

I find that Sabotage missions are usually pretty good since with the Caches you have 4 times the chances of getting one, but otherwise they supposedly plague T3/T4 Defense and Survival, especially when you don't want them.

T3 Exterminate(s) have been known to give pre built Forma pretty often (speaking in Void RNG terms of course).

Not the most time efficient way to go about Forma farming but you'll get to skip the build time if RNG is on your side :]

Good luck!

well hedshot that fromas hell out of all the weapons tends to farm T3 Sabotage for forma, and farms Ceres spy missions for T3 keys

I typically do T2 captures as a good source of both ducats and forma bps.

You only have 2 times to get a forma in a sabotage mission. Only the 3rd cache re-rolls the end-of-mission reward table where forma are on. The 1st and 2nd caches are junk. At least for T3 sab, all the one's I've done I've never gotten more than 2 forma. I don't have T4 Sab keys, because I stopped playing for awhile during the period where they had T4 keys on syndicates.

 

Also keep in mind that T2 Mobile Def and T2 Sab cannot drop forma, it's not in the tables. They only reward prime parts. Great for ducats, but terrible for you looking for forma.

I believe you can get blueprints or fully built forma from T3 survival, T3 sabotage, and T3 exterminate. I get the blueprints a lot there, but a chance at a fully built one makes it even more efficient. T3 Capture also seems to give me a lot of forma blueprints and can be completed quickly. 

 

On more of a tin foil hat note, take along friends that want prime parts and you're sure to get extra forma ;P

T4D does seem to be the best to "farm" them based on the table.  Good chance to get one for 5, 10, and 15 then just jump out and repeat.  Haven't tried it yet since I don't have any keys for it and probably couldn't handle it yet with my current equipment.  I know my attempts to farm for them on T2C, T2E, and T3E have failed.  But have gotten a lot of Prime parts...LMAO

 

Kinda funny that your best chance of getting them is in higher level missions where if you're doing it you probably don't need them as much.  LOL

[srlhama]

T4 defence, you will get a lot of Lex Prime bp too.

[PCwarrior_99]

Ironically, I do few void missions and I'm always full of forma bp, the actual total build time I need to build them all is equal to 73 days
