How I "FARM" ENERGY ACTIVATORS EVERY DAY | The First Descendant

[@dimebagwilliam8456]

I do the real grind... go to work, farm a paycheck, and use rng to see if i can make rent while playing this game

[@theFullMeasure]

The true endgame

[@UhDewSea]

My favorite farm is still farming amorphous 120 and 121 at the outpost in "Converter Facility - Fortress (hard)" and then taking the amorphous to the reactor in 'Fallen Ark' zone. Since I farm the bunny cave, I have thousands of void fragments. IF YOU MAIN BUNNY, DO MY PREFERRED METHOD INSTEAD!

[@grumpyoldman6503]

definite void reactors are good if you like to Sharen (infils), level weapons and descendents (bunny cave or whatever), or like the wave defense missions (which do a little bit of everything and are less mind-numbing). for sure easy bosses with shards you have in spades is a way to go. post 1.07 reactor boss nerf, they are all pretty easy now though, but YMMV. some of them even are sources of dropping purple set gear, if that is your bag. absolute vary up your routine and swap your activities so you don't burn out!

[@M.Althmali]

I have been there for more than hour the shape stabilizer droped 3 times and not a single 121 💀

[@Rico-gz2rl]

Just started playing this game bro and I must say you earned a sub from me! The way you explain and provide information is amazing

[@theFullMeasure]

Much appreciated!

[@jakob187]

Pattern 59 is 100% the best way to farm these Energy Activators. It isn't hard to finish Slumber Valley Hard with max score. I will get 15 to 20 patterns, pound them out, and I usually get one or two. Also, folks, you really only need about four or five Descendants to really succeed in this game: Ajax, Bunny, Valby. Freyna, and Sharen. All of those are the easiest to get, and as long as you get them and buff them up, you will sit pretty with this game. Eventually, you will get the Ultimate versions, but you don't NEED them unless you are trying to do Hard Intercepts higher than Dead Bride.

[@AA-ts4ff]

In this game you should always aim for something that has at least 2 things you want

[@MFZ0dd]

Yessss hands down. You gotta check for stuff that has an energy activator blueprint and one for a Desc or weapon you want. Also people need to check for the optimal drop, not every Pat is equal, some give a 6% drop and some a 32%. Also trying to get the ult anything in normal is fruitless it's all hard mode stuff.

[@AA-ts4ff]

[@Deathscythe1989]

Really really really helped me on the plasma battery front thanks!

[@theFullMeasure]

Happy to help :D

[@briansexton]

Polyatomic Ion Particles also drop from Command Relay mission monsters on normal difficulty. I have received up to 9 per drop on normal, so that’s definitely a viable option as well.

[@hemhemimakatekobum]

This grind sux!! Bro we gotta 3-6% chance at maybe getting a energy activator and thats after farming 55 low carbon activators, 25 conductive metallic foils, 55 heat plasma batterys and 72 polyatomic ion particles 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Technoslinger]

It's quite apparent you haven't played looter shooters, gacha or other similar games very much or you would know that a 3-6% chance from numerous sources that can be farmed while farming other items is actually quite a good drop rate.

[@LocatedLeech]

Ignore the doofus above me, the best way to these grinds is farm the materials at 3/4 the amount u need at a time and then worry about farming other descendants/mods and in the process of opening a bunch of amorphous patterns and not worrying about farming the energy activators specifically you'll accumulate them and already have the resources. The sucky thing is at a 3%-6% drop rate your better off ignoring it and farming something else

[@jirikocman]

That first mat drops even from respective Kingston reactor boss to, so do outpost, get mats and patterns,then go to open them in reactor for another batch of mats

[@TheEkjordan22]

Your crystallization catalyst video was a huge help and so was this!! Thx bro!!💪🏾💯👑🫡

[@theFullMeasure]

Happy to hear!

[@Kjklump]

My method for getting donuts and shrooms is similar. But I've found for me that the crystals with ultimate parts tend to have my best results. Cross farming works as well, got a gun or descendant with 3 parts completed? Well that's the one to target. Also I finish the mission if I need mats from a mission monster. Outposts with a reactor and a shard farm are great if I'm not actively trying to complete an item. Stay out of the bunny cave. Level your guns and gear some completing dungeons and block kiuper. If there's a reactor or some external components you want to farm use the out post. And once you get one don't just stop farming them. It's a lot less frustrating when you already have 15 completed in your inventory. 2 of my crafting slots are purely dedicated to a shroom and donut. Also don't waste your time with a stabilizer, there's a reason we call them disappointment enhancers.

[@marcoscunha511]

Good points.

[@christianhellem]

The good thing about going after other stuff, and then once in a while getting lucky and getring one of these, is that it takes away a lot of dissapointment... the ones you would have for not getting them when trying, and also , if you are teying to get a 32% drop and the activator drops instead, its not so dissapointing. A lot of ppl (including me) thinks the droprate is a bit low for this, but we need to keep in mind that these are in every second material we farm (almost),,, so almost every desendant and weapon we chose to farm will include some where this has a dropchance...

[@verendradialsingh4869]

You told them the secret in farming that was my strategy all the time and never fail to get a 6% drop or 2 in 12 runs of 2 0r 3 different amorphous also voids has better drop chance than bosses

[@Stuff-mu7li]

Thank you! Going to try this out and create a rotation.

[@imonyourside8376]

I find doing Fortress-Converter Facility-Fallen Ark on easy mode to be the best. You can farm the Outpost and get tons of mats and just open at 3%. I get them regularly doing this and the boss is pretty easy. The 6% grind isn't worth it for dungeons because they take too long. Dungeons should give you 2-4 Amorph Patterns to make them worth running. Killing the Boss for amorph 48 is easy and requires the mats from the Bunny Cave so you should have tons of them already. :)

[@Crrazzyrulezz]

Some Dungeons only take 4 Minutes on Hardmode for 2 Pattern and 6 percent Chance. U need like 100 Percent droprate for Patterns on your spot to rival that since it takes 1 Minute to do the Outpost again. 20 percent droprate twice for the Pattern if u go with Sharen. Outposts are worse sorry. On Hardmpode u can get like 30 Pattern in an Hour...How many do u get in an Hour if u do those Outposts on normal. Lets be real. And its a 3 Percent Chance + paying Shards.

[@dai-katana]

Side hustle farm is the best. Just today I was farming today Enduring legacy part from 083 and in one 10 amorph crack sequence got 4 activators. Over time it adds up.

[@theFullMeasure]

Yep for sure

[@ejbaron]

My god, never saw the change reward button.. Just for this info you gave the like

[@lunarezlycablood1838]

Hard mode outpost generally has lower consumable drop rate because ultimate reactor drop can override consumable drop.

[@billy_cross]

Dream to get catalyst by Wu Rin quite naturally through whatever I’m general grinding out so I have more of those right now than I have resources to make them, but I’m constantly cooking one right every day I put one in in the crafting in the next day, there’s one ready and then I put another one in if I run out of the other resources for them those are just go grind out Half an hour grinding. You can get enough resources to make three or four more but the actors on the other hand, those are the ones that I thought I agree with you. You have to kind of make sure you’re always farming something that’s gonna give you something you need plus have a chance of giving you an activator blueprint, but they’re not so easy. I don’t end up with activator blueprint.

[@greenbeetless]

Rng… I’ve done the 59 farm and out of 40 amorphous drops I didn’t get a single enduring legacy blue print or energy activator, but farming viessa I did 10 runs and got 4 viessa at 6%. Rng can be a bitch. I understand they want you to farm the crap out of the game and the law of big numbers, but sometimes I swear the game has it out for us.

It does feel strangly targeting sometimes, I pulled 3 Ultimate Lepics in a row the other night on stream, while trying to get a 38% item to drop.

yea i target farmed energy bp it was a nightmare spent days. got 1 in a 100 runs. farmed for ult bunny and lepic got 2 without even aiming for them. so definitely just farm for a weapon or character and eventually they will drop. both dropped from the void reactors and not a boss as well.

[@imonyourside8376]

Fortress-Command Relay on easy mode BOTH bosses drop the mats. Nexon needs to fix this as Hard mode should not ONLY reward more but do it 100% of the time like Normal mode.

[@DominicMaez]

I’ve been solo farming that… on hard …. I am so silly. …

[@grumpyoldman6503]

@@DominicMaez well the gear is more useful if it drops and the rate on the first 2 dudes is pretty high, so I wouldn't say it's a mistake to do that. 100% need to change the incosistent hard mode elite drops however. it's kinda stupid they buffed hard drop rates intentionally but half the time they don't drop anything for some spawns. defeats the point.

most of the material most of the time doesnt drop in hard mode for me like for the ion thingy i tried the fortress mission like 10 times and it only dropeed twice but in normal mode yes the quantity is a lot low but it dropped every single time, i dont know if it is a bug or its just the game mechanics that since the amount is much more in hard mode that the items wont drop every single time in hard mode

[@dark9ightff775]

This could be all in my head but i find that if u have all the other parts for a blueprint and your trying to get the last hardest part then the game will really try not to give it to u but if u try to get it first and your missing the other parts it gives it to u way sooner. I say this because this has happened to me 3 diffrent times so one of the times I was trying to get the final python part, which had a 32% drop chance and instead I got the 15% chance crystilzation catalyst… and not just once I got it 6 times in a row! I don’t know if there manipulating the game to not give u the last thing your trying to get. But my recommendation is always start with the part that has the least chance of dropping. Again could all be in my head though lol
