where can I get argon cystals

[Mcl_Blue]

Void.

[Genitive]

In the void. Sometimes argon alerts pop up, too, but the void is your go-to place.

ok thanks guys

Just remember you can't store them because they vanish from your inventory with time, so use them quickly.

 

By quick I mean: get a blueprint then farm the argons and craft it in the same day.

From wikia:

Each Argon Crystal in a Tenno's inventory is either stable or decaying at any given time; beyond this, the age of a single crystal does not matter. Each day at GMT 00:00, two things happen: first, the quantity of decaying Argon Crystals is cut in half and rounded down; second, all stable Argon Crystals shift to the decaying state. For example:

• 11 crystals are collected on Day 1. They are all stable.
• GMT 00:00 hits, and now all 11 crystals are decaying, but the quantity remains unchanged.
• 12 crystals are collected on Day 2. The Tenno now has 23 crystals total.
• GMT 00:00 hits. The 11 decaying crystals decay to 5, and the 12 additional crystals are now decaying. The Tenno now has 17 crystals.
• GMT 00:00 hits again without the attainment of any further crystals. All 17 crystals decay to 8.

ok thanks Genitive

TL;DR: you won't lose argon crystals in the first 24 hours after getting them, so you have a fair ammount of time to use them in the foundry.

From the wiki: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Argon_Crystal

"A full 24 hours from when you acquire it and then when GMT 00:00 hits is when it’s considered in its decaying period."

• Having the count down started on one Argon Crystal, then obtaining another does not reset the count down.
• Each Argon Crystal in a Tenno's inventory is either stable or decaying at any given time; beyond this, the age of a single crystal does not matter. Each day at GMT 00:00, two things happen: first, the quantity of decaying Argon Crystals is cut in half and rounded down; second, all stable Argon Crystals shift to the decaying state. For example:
  • 11 crystals are collected on Day 1. They are all stable.
  • GMT 00:00 hits, and now all 11 crystals are decaying, but the quantity remains unchanged.
  • 12 crystals are collected on Day 2. The Tenno now has 23 crystals total.
  • GMT 00:00 hits. The 11 decaying crystals decay to 5, and the 12 additional crystals are now decaying. The Tenno now has 17 crystals.
