Nitain & Argon Crystal farming Help

[(XBOX)Gus Man B]

Hi Everyone.

I need advice on how to farm this rare resources.  I do not have Access to the rest of the  Void yet only what is linked to Europa and only just reached Uranus. I have only been able to get 1 Nitain from an Alert but I need a lot to start building the Warframe parts I have and some weapons. As to the Argon how can I get more, most  of the weapon blueprints I have require at least 1-2 of this. 

Any Help would be Appreciated!!

Surival/Defence is best for Argon. The only really viable way to get Nitain is to do the alerts, since the chance to get any from the sabotage caches is laughably small.

Argon is found in the void and it deteriorates over time and nitain is found in sabotage caches on reactor sabotage and then alerts and that's it.

Got it, I will try those :)

How long Does Argon last, 24 hours?

Correct after 24 hours the argon will have deteriorated and no longer be useable or in your inventory.

I got it so, when the server resets it goes away.

So as I am EST, it sounds best to wait till 7:00 EST/00:00 GMT to try for Argon.

Sort of.

Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that, so I'll refer you to the wiki which has examples and everything.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Argon

See the notes section for a detailed example that walks you through how it works.

ETA:

A quick summary is that you don't lose argon crystals that you just farmed after the first daily reset.  You do lose half of them every subsequent reset after that until you have none left.

I see will take a look.

I had some luck last night farming in the void and got some stuff built.

I have one left so interesting to see what happiness, I find doing Extirmination missions works for me as I get time to search the rooms. And I found a Sculpture too, vary cool!

I also got another Nitain from an Alert, hope there are more  tonight, need to get my Nekros built.

As far as I know there are, on average, 4 nitain alerts per 24 hrs. An alert tracker of some kind might help you in this regard. As I don't use them myself, I leave it to others to suggest examples.

Argon crystals can also drop from alerts. I would suggest using the Warframe app so you can get a notification every time an alert rewarding nitain extract or argon crystals pops up.

Here is the tracker that I use:
