Vestan Moss cant find more than 2 per mission

[GrimAtrament]

any one know a spot where like 10 or 5  are in a mission at a time senda and saturn are both duds

Most of the problem is that it's just out of the way.

Try going down the end of all the rail car lines and climbing all the ledges, those are where most are found. The Sabotage mission on Saturn was giving me 7-9 per run once I knew where to look.

I haven't had much of an out of the way problem as much of an almost completely invisible problem. The Codex's pulse highlight on every item nearby identify Vestan Moss as an almost entirely flat object, meaning one won't notice unless looking at it from either a relatively high or relatively low angle which gets worse the farther you are from it. It's nearly agonizing trying to notice a 1x1 ft pile of green papers in a sea of green.

Or, for most of the quest, dull red papers against red-brown rocks

In addition to being ever so slightly noticeable outside a 5 ft radius. I've been driven nearly mad to the point I'm jumping to the nearest hot colored small object in every nook, cranny, corner, or generally open flat surface of the asteroid tileset like I'm lost in a desert and experiencing incredibly potent mirages/hallucinations. I am so grateful Vestan Moss is not found on Mars.

i found first 5, then 3, and then 13 ^^)

The place where you can drop down to the tracks with the fan tunnel on top.  The stone wall of the track section have 2, you usually encounter 2-3 of those in any given astroid mission (Moss is only on Saturn IIRC)

The place where you can run down the winding stairs with the fences of go around the side to a short bridge that leads to the door to next area, there is 1 under the bridge.

The end room with the broken pile of stuff in the center and containers around it, there is one hiding behind the trash to the right as you walk in

Nope, me and my buddies found Moss in Mercury as well.

If anyone goes Mercury check rock surfaces and walls for 'em. They also usually hide behind containers or are on the floor.

I'd say the sabotage on Saturn, Enceladas? Me and my friend would find atleast 6-10 per game.

[(XBOX)Englands Own]

I got all mine on Mercury Capture missions, built a Apothic and got quite a few more but for some reason I'm only showing as only having 4 when I had around 40.Very frustrating considering it's a pain to farm.

[(PSN)Lei-Lei_23]

I usually farm on M Prime, Mercury for Vestan Moss. Bring a maxed out Simaris Scanner for the sake of convenience (free scans, random double scans, etc.)

[TheSteelRat]

Farm M Prime (Mercury) I can easily find 10 a mission. Each tile has the moss appear in the same spot.  Learn to find it by looking for them with your scanner.

[xXx_mtv_xXx]

I did 2 runs of Vor boss and got all the moss I needed.

[DeMeritus]

M Prime on Mercury's where I go.  Just go in with an upgraded synthesis scanner from Simaris.  Kill off all the enemies and then run around.  The spawning points for the moss are guaranteed spawns on the relevant map tiles.

You'll see moss show up if you use the aim/right-click mode of the scanner, and thus memorize them.

[Yzjdriel]

There's this thing called a Helios that will scan them all for you...

[Etan-gK]

any grineer asteriod base has vestan moss, I usually can get between 8 and 12 on vors boss mission, I'm using the simaris scanner with the double scan module thing

[MagPrime]

I got most of mine from Draco.

[PrVonTuckIII]

Do M-Prime on Mercury. Make sure you always scan from above. Also, the Moss always spawns in the same place, so check those spots. I finished my farming in about 20 minutes.

[Gelkor]

I did capture missions on Mercury, here's a photo guide for all of the common locations and tiles:

It definitely would not hurt if there were a little more moss in the tilesets. 

[TheScytale]

The only thing that makes me hate Vestan Moss is the fact that a mission hardly yields 10 of them, while the apothic needs 25. The complete opposite of Ruk's Claw.

Helios will only scan 12 of them, the necessary ones to complete codex entry. The sentinel doesn't scan plants for extracts as of now.

Interesting.  Still, that's half your quota.
