0 Markerlight Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Cryotic is only obtained from running excavation missions. You could, of course run fissure missions and sell rare prime part drops for platinum and then just buy whatever it is you need to build. or, you could spend some plat on a resource booster and then you only need 35 or so rounds of excavation.

0 Eldamil Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) It's really Excavation only. You usually get a lot of cryotic without even realising it if you prefer, say, Hieracon for relics/endo farming. I would recommend farming it a bit without counting the resources you get (I personally often forget that we're here for endo/relics and just start slashing things in my blood lust) Edit: it's not 70 rounds of excavation, your average farming run gives you about 1200-2000 cryotic, in my experience.

By rounds, I believe s/he means completing excavators. So basically, 80 seconds times 75 gives about under two hours of playing excavation, or even perhaps less if you get a group who can run more than one excavator at a time.

0 ultragen Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Even low level excavations like Dark Sector in Earth can give you a great amount. As the cryotic reward per excavator is the same no matter the level, you can even solo run Earth excavations. With a group it will go way faster. Remember to get a Frost though... I reached 2k cryotic on Earth Dark Sector excavation with a fire and ice duo in no time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 StinkyPygmy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Cryotic isn't that hard to get OP. run excavations to at least 10, come out of it with a tonne of relics and junk. Rinse and repeat a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 (PSN)Feox_PH Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 With Low-level solo Excavations, it is possible to harvest two or more excavators at the same time. Using frames like Frost or Vauban (for infested) can make multi-tasking these excavators easier. You don't even need to kill the enemies, just keep them away from the excavators.

0 LSG501 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 lol... moaning about 7500.... I need 30,000 for the sibear and you don't see me complaining (although I do think the amount is stupid for an MR fodder weapon). Just combine it with something else like getting relics (hieracon) and don't want it 'now'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 (XBOX)R3d P01nt Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Also, smeeta charms can increase your cryotic obtained if you get the 2x resource boost during the mission. If that charm is active when the excavator finishes, you'll get double the amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think of it, it's not too bad, I think I was just really pissed about yesterday's game where all progress was gone since the host's internet crapped out and the host migration also crapped out, I would've got around 1120 (more if the other three people didn't want to leave which they tried to), I was Loki with 1.63 sprint speed sprinting to extraction and just before I got there to 'conclude' the mission and receive rewards....yeah sht happened So yeah, was pissed about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest picking ones which you can easily stomp through, and maybe bring some low ranked weapons to level. Fission ones have the "endless" mechanic, so you'll also gain prime parts/BPs for you to use or sell for plat. Also, run them solo or with friends/clan members you trust.

0 ShinraSan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sorry, you can't get it outside of excavation, at leaast not in significant amounts. your best bet would probably be hieracon on pluto, pretty much everyone farms for it there as far as I know, do correct me if I'm wrong at that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
