Best node for farming void keys?

[ConciliarPath6]

What is the best node for farming t3/t4 keys. I know draco drops em but 4 waves for 1 key is too much and Hieracon doesn't have good drop chance, 80% of the time i get credits.

Hieracon IS best place......Keys have 100% drop chance on 300 , 700 , 1100, 1500, 1900, 2300 etc (if you dont fail any drills)

tho its RNG wich key from t3/4 you get. There ISNT place where RNG wouldnt rule your life.

Neptune/ Pluto spy is good aswell.

 

Also why want Defence keys?  only key type i will never run out..

Hieracon, just because it isn't giving what you want doesn't mean it isn't the best place for them. Welcome to RNG and the "grind".

Edit, mobile browser issues.

Wiki showed that as T2/T3 keys,  not T4.

Hieracon, each 3rd drill gives key. Sometimes you can get t4 keys on Mars interception, but its slow as heck 4 rounds.

Whoops. Typo. I meant t3/t4 keys, not t3/t4 def keys.

Hieracon is a good place in general. When your not getting keys, your getting cores. It also drops multi-shot mods (for those who don't already have a collection of them) and its pretty rare to walk out with less than 50K-60K credits. Oh yeah and cryotic for when you decide to build that pretty-animated over-expensive underwhelming ice hammer.....

Augustus for non-endless mode T4 keys.

Draco for endless mode T4 keys (and, no, it's not too much work; games only last about a quarter hour, even with 40watt tenno--and easily soloed with Nyx).

T3 keys are mixed in with other key tiers, so:

Hieracon is the best overall for T3 and T4 drops.

Triton is good for T3 and T4 drops.

Oceanum is good for combination of T2 and T3 drops.

ODD is good for T2 and T3 drops.

Mimas will drop both T2 and T3 keys and can be pleasingly streaky on T3 drops in 60min runs.

I've heard the Phobos endless modes can be good for T3 drops, but they're also mixed with T2 drops and I've never really farmed them, so not terribly familiar with the particulars.

Lastly, farm syndicate affinity and buy key packs from your employer of choice. Pretty random, but it's free for the taking if you've bothered to equip a sigil.

Hieracon really is the best place to farm for T4 keys, along with T3 keys which don't drop as common. Credits and fusion cores drop on Rotation A (excavators 1, 2, 5, 6, etc.) You are guaranteed a void key on Rotation B, which is excavators (3, 7, 11, etc.)
