Excess Argon Crystal - What to do before they poof?

[Terranos-Rift]

I'm newish, only about a month of playing so not intimately familiar with every aspect of crafting. Without even trying or noticing I ended up with 9 Argon crystals and nothing that I can think of that I need to build with them at this time.

Do you guys have a go to useful item that you use them on before they disappear?

I have one helmet that uses them, and can make another incubator core or 2 to stock up, but that still leaves quite a few.

If you've built every thing you need to build then no. They are a "pick up when you need" resource.

Before the Starchart update, they were a little more of a hot resource, but since the Void is public now it's kind of like buying groceries that spoil quickly. Except the groceries are free. And are crystals.

Basically, if you have a blueprint that requires Argon, you're in business! If you aren't sure, you can search "argon" in the foundry (and maaaybe the Market?) and see what you can craft to use up that decaying resource. If you don't having anything needing doing, it's fine to let them fade away.

craft some imprints if you're into breeding.

Personally, I went through the same thing early in the game - did my best to use every Argon I got.  Things I found useful were mostly weapons (buy the blueprints in the market): Atterax, Atomos, Sonicor, and Zhuge are my 4 top suggestions.

build some incubators, you never know when you need them.

I have around 10 incubators, i always try to mix new prints hoping to get a lotus (failed so far) :XD

From wiki. These are the things which need argon as an ingredient. See which you can build. You can find the blueprints in the market for credits or from the labs in clans if research is completed.

wow nice list of argon weapons and frames.  wiki provided that?  huh      I really would like to see another never ending place for them also.  I suggested a argon fire pit in the dojo just to see them sparkle for an effect.  kinda like the fireworks.   ya (fingers crossed)

[Terranos-Rift]

Yep thanks guys, building loki helmet because why not, some more incubator cores and working on getting the fieldron for an Amprex as it's been on my wish list but haven't gotten around to it yet.

That list by Kusungphak was great.

Make helmets.  I sat down and crafted 57 helmets and skins yesterday and I had to go out and farm 2 argon crystals.
