Bosses drop rare materials

Bosses drop rare materials

What he said.

 

Also, go to higher level missions.

[Murasume]

My advice to you is to fight bosses~

if you havent been fighting them that is~

they usually drop them rare mats for you~

also, to help your odds equip Theifs wit~

or if you're lucky enough "Master theif"~

those will usually help you gain more mats~

happy hunting Fellow Tenno~

I've done about 50 E Primes on Earth since the massive rare mat nerf (they call it a "bug fix").

 

I've gotten 1 Neurode.

 

1.

 

Out of 50 missions.

 

Ya.

 

During U8, we asked them to please let us get rare materials from something other than bosses. Then U9 came and in the patch notes, they said that they "increased the chances to get" these rare materials, and we were happy! Two major bugfixes later and we're back to.....

 

Yup.

 

Gotta kill bosses again. *rolls eyes* Oh wait, most of the bosses are all much higher level than they used to be. Nice. One of them is so borked that it oftentimes drops absolutely nothing, and it just happens to be 1 of the only 2 that drops Control Modules, one of the most-needed rare materials in the game.

annd thats what i am talking about you are lucky i still have not gotten even 1 rare material

[Beldavid]

personally sense the fix, I have gotten more mats from standard mobs and containers than bosses.

to me it seems like they shifted rare mats away from bosses to containers.

[galds]

i am checking every container ...i only walk around with resource radar and still nothing

[AbathurX]

Neurodes? You mean "0.01%" drop chance material? Oh those! Had to buy th-... nvm.

I recently found a Morphic on level 1 (Terminus). The irony.

You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

Aaannyway... You'd expect Vor to drop it, but a random container on the first level does. it was unexpected at least.

[galds]

annd all this day still nothing

 

it feels insulting and also feels like hate to players

[Xylia]

Unexpected, yeah, but still not "irony".

 

lol.

 

One of THE most misused words on the internet. haha.

 

But yeah, that's where I found that 1 neurode in all my Earth runs.

 

Some random box on E Prime. Not an enemy, not all the Napalms, Scorches, or Seekers..... a box. I was like "OMG YES!" and I rushed the rest of the level to make sure I'd get it and nothing stupid happened (power outage, disconnect, etc).

[MOBtheKING]

If resources don't start popping up more often (50,000 polymer bundle needed at least) let's just say i'm done playing the game of no drops it's getting rediculous.

The first mission on any planet seems to yield the best stuff for some reason. I got 2 out of 3 of the Banshee blueprints from E Prime.

 

 

so where are rare materials ?

It was easy for like, three days after update 9 launched, granted it was too easy, but they didn't have to go back to square one! It seems like the drops are actually worse than before now (not too concerned yet since I still have a bundle of rare mats from those 3 days, but those will only last so long).

 

Hopefully they'll find a balance soon.

[Hixlysss]

To be honest they may have lowered the rate of them dropping normally during missions, but they still drop from bosses more commonly to balance it out. I mean we can buy the resources now so...I still don't like that system with the platinum to be honest.

[rocket156]

yeah they really have messed up the drop tables. i need my circuits and poly bundle. I seems to get worse and worse.

[MOBtheKING]

If I do the last mission that gave me a whole 70 polymer bundle i would have to do it 700 more times are you kidding me, This needs to be fixed so that people that spent the time (and the money) actually get something in return. Look at your business model because it's not looking too good in the long run because me and my clan are losing interest quickly.

polymers drop in a pack of 50~90 (roughly) there are some specific missions that players seem to find more of resources. 

IIRC few missions in uranus you can walk out with 200~350 polymers per run. i think prospero and some other raid missions there.

make sure to bust all the containers and open all lockers. they tend to drop more resources than mobs.

300 polymer bundle for 30 platinum i don't think that's gonna work, that would cost me a couple of grand for what i need

Then Vote with your wallet and don't buy them.

 

I bet a lot of other people are doing the same.

 

The market prices are subject to change; DE will likely adjust the prices until people start buying them.

 

30p for 300 polymer is indeed ridiculous. You could farm 300 P.Bundles in like 1-2 hours on Mercury. Not worth 30p.

[MOBtheKING]

Last farming mission for pbundle got me 48, master thiefed lockers with nothing in them, crates had 5 credits and enough energy and affinity and health for the whole world. I'm done playing this game for a while hope they fix it or I won't be coming back any time in the future.

48 per mission that only takes 5 minutes is not that bad, lol.

 

Better than trying to get Neurodes or Control Modules!
