What's The Lowest Leve Excavation To Solo For Gold Cores?

With a quick x5 payout or t3 keys?

I can manage triton, but sometimes just too overwhelmed.

Well as far as I know there is nothing lower in level than triton that meets these criteria. There is pluto dark sector, hieracon I believe - higher level (30-34? something like that) but it has infestd instead of corpus, so no nullies and scrambus or whatever they're called.

Hmm got a t3 capture on Lilith. Guess I can find a party at the other place tho

Triton - Neptune is lower level than Hiearacon - Pluto, but, Hiera is infested so a frost con solo it easily, Triton can be really anoying some times...

That dark sector excavation on europa was pretty good when i soloed it last night for isotopes, picked up about 10 cores from a 1k cyrotic run

1. Take Volt with duration build.

2. Go to first drill, cover it with energy shields. 2 at correct angle would suffice.

3. At 10-15 s remaining, go to second drill, cover it.

4. At 10-15 s remaining, #sanic to extraction.

5. Repeat the mission until you puke.

I think you may be doing Triton wrong if you're feeling overwhelmed.

 

There's a higher chance for R5's to drop on "A" rotation, so only do the first 2 Extractors and then Extract. Rinse and repeat.

 

Many people don't know this, but once you supply your 2nd Extractor with as much power as it needs to finish, you CAN leave it and the Corpus will stop attacking it. If, however, you linger around the next room or so, the Corpus will continue to attack it - so you HAVE to head to Extraction as quickly as possible. My Warframe of choice to achieve this is Volt.

 

A couple of days ago, someone asked me for a Volt build and since I was short on Fusion Cores, I thought I'd make him a video and kill 2 birds with one stone. I have run this same recipe for the last week, 30 minutes in the morning and maybe an hour in the evening, and have gone from 189 cores (count on Sunday, Jan. 9th) to 408 cores as of this morning (Friday, Jan. 15th). Keep in mind that sometimes, you'll get 2 extractors giving you 2 credit caches....other times, you'll just get 1 R5 drop...and there are those times when you CAN get 10 cores in 1 4-minute run. Just keep with it - they WILL drop.

 

Good luck.

Triton is the lowest-level node with rare Fusion Cores.

 

I prefer running 6 excavators, then extracting, which gives you 4 rotation A rewards (which is where the Fusion Cores are) and one each of rotation B and C rewards (for a Void Key). Running 6 extractors generally also puts you only a tile or two away from extraction unless you get unlucky.

I like to go to 700 to get the key from the second rotation B, then repeat.

Thanks for the posts. Volt and Trinity Prime are the only 2 I don't have yet so I guess I'll get Volt off the market as well.

Here's an example with Frost.

Another way to farm dem cores will be in high level Spy missions like Oceanum in Pluto.

Grab speedy frames like volt or loki and just zip your way through the vaults, though some memorizing will be required for the shortcuts before it comes nautrally.

I prefer Loki P with all the speed mods possible which gives me like 1.96 sprint speed :D.

 

However, RNG will be your enemy if you are looking for ONLY the cores given the large reward table of Spy missions.

You can get Ivara at the same time too, so I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

 

I know this ain't answering your question, but hope this helps still.

Some time ago I did Saturn - cassini (surv) to lvl new weapons and get some cells. It drops 5R5s at rotation A. No keys iirc. Just throwing it out there as an alternative if someone don't like excavations.

Phobos dark sector excavation is the lowest lvl AFAIK (mid 20s) and is infested. You can also get t2-3 keys.

I thought Saturn got nerfed?
