Help me find Oxium

[Zachles]

Title.

Need a lot. Thanks.

Baal - Europa is a good option.

Its a mobile defense, I recommend staying after completing the objectives since enemies keep spawning but they dont scale.

Corpus Excavations are good for Oxium farming. Bringing a Nekros will also give you more loot/loot chance with his second skill. If that isn't enough, you can always buy a resource booster from the in-game Market with Platinum.

Desecrate works on Oxium Ospreys? I thought it didn't because they explode? Or did they change that?

At any rate, the plan is to buy a resource booster. I need 7,000 of the damn stuff so I can build Vauban Prime.

My apologies then, I forgot Ospreys exploded upon death (so Nekros doesn't work). A better option would to be get speed nova on Baal and farm there. Someone mentioned this in another thread: DON"T EXTRACT when you are done with the mobile defenses. You can sit there forever for more spawns as long as the spawns don't bug out. 

*EDIT* According to wiki, as of update 18.0, we can now desecrate Oxium Ospreys.

Some weapons simply kill them (Lex Prime usually just breaks them into 3 pieces, ready to desecrate)

Also, another tip, when you go to Baal, Don't extract after you finish the Mobile Defense. You can sit there and keep farming because the enemies will keep spawning.

I did this on Baal, Europa in 2.18 Hours (131 minutes). I had a resource booster on; brought 2 Nekros', and 1 Nova. We did the 3 Mobile Defenses, and just ran around the map killing and collecting loot. *BEWARE* Ospreys and enemies do get stuck from time to time so you have to run around killing them so they can spawn again. Overall, 2 hrs of intensive farming for 7k Oxium isn't too bad. I did some calculations, and it turns out that you need 29,628 Oxium for everything in this game. After doing some more calculations, you basically need 554 minutes (9.2 hours) of farming to get enough Oxium for everything in this game.

I thought my run with 379 oxium was good...
