zoobmer Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) so I need 100 azurite to level my astron standing to rank 2 (Visitor). in addition, I need ore to craft zaws. I figure, how hard can it be? so I go out into the plains for a couple of hours for a combination of mining and fishing. in that length of time, I find a single azurite deposit, and come back with a measly 3 ore. this is unacceptable. mining can be fun in small amounts; but such a slow pace of accumulating resources is just plain tedious. I expect ore deposits to be much more common, and all give a much larger quantity of ore. please change this. edit: apparently, I only need 10. it's still slower than it should be.

I simply can not afford those. the only time I have them is when they are a sortie reward. 2 minutes ago, SeaUrchins said: Why can't we simply have breakable ore deposits like we do with other resources? :V because that would get rid of the minigame that DE designed. you know how DE love their possibility space! they want as many gameplay modes as possible, which is why we have things like archwing, plains, and operator mode in the first place, despite none of them being very good. oh, and not to mention that sun vs. moon morality system that doesn't even do anything yet. all I ask is to have to play as little of these tangential modes as possible. they can be fun little diversions, after all.

bluepheonix13 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I think if you only found 1 Azurite spawn in more than an hour, there is either something wrong with the game or you're not looking good enough. I would understand this if we were talking about Nyth and Sentirum, but Azurite no way. Are you checking in the caves and using the little tools the mining laser gives you (audio cue, number of ores/distance to nearest ore in the HUD)?

Dwolfknight Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 You are absolutely doing something wrong. Go to these 3 caves and get all the gem deposits there. Farming for Eidolon Gems, I've crafted over 100 tear azurite just to be safe and the rest I just sell for standing, I get around 40 azurite per run.

--F--NerevarCM Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 1 Azurite in 1 hour? Really? Go to any cave and you find more than 5 mining nodes in a single cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tier 3 mining tool will point you the ores on minimap. plains is right up there with archwing on the list of things I mostly avoid playing in this game. I can't get a tier 3 mining tool until I mine enough azurite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)HAVOCS-Regret Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Mining does get easier once you have top mining tool, it has a radar feature. What I don’t like about mining and fishing (and add wisp farming here as well) is that they not only made it compulsory, but you have to do hours and hours and hours of it. I find mining and fishing very VERY very boring. A little bit would be okay, but as it is now, the grind is real friends, it is real :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

light-v Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) While I agree than mining can be time consuming especially if you're looking for Nyth and Sentirum but a quick run in a cave would get you most of what you need for the entire leveling of the Ostrons However I'm not sure how fishing is time consuming, they always spawn in the same spots and you don't need that many of them, the most 'annoying' fish I had to catch for what I needed is the murkray which takes about 10min of fishing to get the comp to craft the bait, then another 10min to catch what I need. Get yourself some luminous dye if you can't see the fish Edit: some people hate mining so much that you can sell them gems for plats so there's that Edited March 19, 2018 by lightvee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXCrusnik Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Gem and ore deposits are pretty common if you look in the correct places if you ask me... Near/in caves, grineer mining areas, large cliffs your mining scanners ore/gem count goes off the charts. and I've never felt like I was low on azurite. So if you... you know... actually go to the plains and spend more than 5 minutes there to farm mats and don't GTFO like vay heks gonna kidnap you as soon as you get a drop of loot, you'll find plenty of azurite and other mats.
