HOW TO ACTUALLY FARM CATALYSTS & ENERGY ACTIVATERS FAST - THE FIRST DESCENDANT (indepth showcase)

[@Crazymrpipz]

INSANE BLAIR BUILD - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXacip56gdJkbKc UPDATE ON FAST FARMING: ADVANCED NEURAL CIRCUIT: Found a way to farm this also on normal mode, speed is similar maybe slightly faster with bunny, go to WHITE NIGHT GULCH, mission name BORDER LINE OF TRUTH

[@calistin1]

If you level up your character in gulch-shipmentbase- fortress outpost mission these drop like candy, I got over 500+ without even trying to farm them, I just use that spot to lvl back up after using a catalyst.

[@Lynxwire]

Why are you manually running to the dungeons, when you can queue for them from Albion?

[@ryandemos6173]

There is a much better heat plasma battery farm in old mystery on hard mode. Once you get to the section of the mission that has you waiting in the small blue circles for 10 seconds, finish all but one of them then just start farming mobs until you run out of time. There are two yellow bar mobs that will continuously spawn (not every single time mobs spawn but will still respawn quickly enough) and they both drop heat plasma batteries.

I like to farm Sterile Lands - The Forgottense Normal Mission for the Catalyst. The Mission can be done in 4 min, drops Murky Energy Residue and AMP 009 which has a 15% chance for the Catalyst Blueprint, also if you are lucky you can get an ultimate bunny research thingy.

[@zaoshikung2756]

This is the only information needed at this point. Which mission is the fastest to farm the stupid amorphous material. Like legit I have 100s of each crafting mat but have popped 100 amorphous and got 2 blueprints. Thanks ill be using this spot now unless someone finds something quicker.

For Advanced Neural circuit go to The mountaintops in White night Gulch. Bottom mission "Border Line of Truth". 3 Elites all drop the Advance Neural Circuits. after 10 runs I wound up with a Total of 70 AVC's, Average run time was 1 min 43.7 seconds. with an average of 7 per run. Note the first elite (Devourer) never dropped less or more than 2. The second and third have a chance of dropping 3 with the 3rd elite on average dropping 3 more often than the second elite. Hope this helps. (This was done on NORMAL, not hard. I dont have any data for hard yet.) took a total of 17 minutes 17 seconds to complete this. Also.. In every run they ALWAYS dropped. 100% drop rate of atleast 2 per elite. or 6 per run in about 1 min 40s with BUNNY.

[@sparksthereaper8749]

BTW just to ease people's sanity and cut time... you don't have to actually go to the zone maps to get to the Call of Descendants missions. Once you get to Albion, turn left after the teleporter are and you should see 2 consoles which you can do all of the Call of Descendants and Special Operation missions.

[@jilalgaming7573]

Not sure if you have tried it but On heat plasma batteries I found that running the "Old Mystery" mission allows you to run past the mobs until you come to the room with the kuipar nodes section. Dont capture the nodes and kill the 3-4 yellow bars that spawn after clearing the ads let the mission fail from the timer and click restart mission.

Great video ty for the info, and btw you don't have to travel to the dungeons in each zone to start them. A lot of people miss it but there's an "Infiltration Operations Terminal" in Albion that lets you set the kill score modifiers and instantly que into them like you normally do in zone. That should help you speed up your farm.

[@CrazEGaming05]

also for the mixed energy residue, if ur going to open vaults, its best to do it with enzo, so that u can get significantly more then if u open the vaults with any other descendant

Key thing is that you need to keep farming. Don't just stop after getting enough for one of each. It's better to prefarm so that you can be ready once the items are done crafting. Don't just farm it when you suddenly need it to build your character. Farm a bunch to have it on standby.

[@DarkEdgeDesign]

The BEST farming guide for these two things I've seen yet!

[@rogermacarios]

If you only care about the materials from the bosses on strategic outposts and not the rewards from actually completing the mission, you can disable/destroy the 3 power units and when the boss spaw you go outside the mission area and wait till the timer reaches zero to kill him, he will drop the materials but the mission will fail, instantly reseting it so you don't need to travel to another area and back. Don't know if it count as an exploit, though.

[@ZishanKhan-yr4ed]

Really enjoyed this video. Very informative and straight to the point. Great grind spots. The neural circuits I do have a good location to farm them but the boss only drops 1 so you get 2-3 but it's a very quick mission literally 1-2 mins

[@Crazymrpipz]

thanks man!

[@jollycooperation7446]

It's great that everything you need can be farmed in both normal and hard mode. Hard mode is obviously being more difficult but more rewarding and higher chances.

[@Crazymrpipz]

agreed:)

It seems for materials, elites on normal drop them more.

[@javiergolusda898]

[@scootsay360]

Echo Swamp - Derelict Covert. The Outpost here drops the Macromolecule Biogel, and the pattern from this outpost has a 15% chance to drop the Catalyst Blueprint. On normal the void reactor for this pattern 021 is pretty cheap and easy to open them all up for these while you farm the biogels :) Edit: On hardmode the catalyst drop from pattern 082 is 20% drop with ultimate bunny code at 6%

[@mohamedaanish]

There is a way to reset the timer on the outposts so you dont need to wait the extra time before you can do it. What you do is hover over the map area before you actually go there and select ‘private’. Usually it allows you to do it right away, if not just teleport to another outpost zone in the same map and reload back to the previous outpost zone. Remember it only works most of the time if you spawn back at an outpost. Safe zones dont count

[@Crazymrpipz]

yes sir! i do mention it in the video! thanks for the comment

Mixed Energy Residue is farmable. The problem is that you get 1 every 3 minutes or less in Previous Construction Team HM mission. There's also an inconsistent drop location in Caligo Ossuary NM mission in either stage one or two of the entire run. It won't drop from the boss, just randomly between those two stages.

[@allankadabra3286]

Better tip to get the biogel. U go to the swamp and go for the same mission but u wanna break all the generators then back off so u get 10 sec to get back in and on 0-1 sec left u wanna kill the ”boss” and u collect and just Walk back in so it starts again.

[@Lion_Warrior1101]

For Advanced Neural Circuits you super farm those at White Night Gulch > Shipments Base > repeat Fortress Outskirts mission and most yellow bars will drop them. I would recommend taking Bunny of course or any character to level because it's great xp farm as well.

[@wykydytron]

It's also fun mission for bunny and freyna with contagion, you activate all 4 modes, hide on hill for 4 minutes and as result you have 200enemies on screen at once. It's such fun that on my 4080 my fps drop to 20 from 120 due to all the chaos on screen but it's so cool to see so many numbers popup and fountains of loot.

[@Robert184e]

You can teleport directly to the Magister lab from Albion, it's an orange globe to teleport to the main dungeons.

[@theunknownm]

early like someone did mention pattern 009, 4min hard go with sepulcher, if u have a good gun takes about 5min with a 50% on 2nd drop, if not lfm add someone.. dont do matchmaking i have never seen a group do the 50% drop chance score , u have to do devourer, there are a lot of gleys running that boss so dont worry if u cant melt him solo

[@rx71102]

This video should be put on the game's wiki not gonna lie. cheers mate

[@Dacalusgaming]

You can teleport to the missions by using the globe in town instead of actually having to go to the mission. There is also one for defense missions. Saves a bunch of time.

[@phansypanda7512]

@Crazymrpipz For the Mixed Energy Residue farm, there is a much easier way to do this. If you go to Agna Desert, in the Vermilion Waste area you take the main Outpost waypoint. Along the southern edge, there's a cave you can drop into that feels like it's a 90% chance for the vaults to spawn, and you just reset the instance like you would for your example to get the respawn. If you're looking on the map, the exact location is roughly halfway between the waypoint and the Surveillance Location mission to the furthest left. You will see a gray-ish square and that's the cave you're dropping into.

[@Crazymrpipz]

as @LennyCus89 said. Murky Energy Residue is so far the only material that is faster to farm on Normal insteat of Hard. to only get the Material (reach the Yellowbar) takes less then 1 Minute.

if you are doing dungeon missions that you already did, you can just start it at albion. no need to teleport to the map and run to it.

I want to point out a thing i found while farming a misdion wich i dont remember wich is and where but it might be for more than one mission.

I was farming with Shareen but my descendant level was a bit low for area even this my wep level was higuer,the dmg was good enough,the defenses however where a bit of an issue so 1 of the runs i didnt speed up killing the 1 Elite that i was farming becaude i needed to step back to heal up and guess what happen?a 2nd Elite popped up!! Yup if ypu wait just a litle bit more without delecting the Elite,a 2nd will come and you will get more rewards.

no idea why people always farm the energy activator on the hard mode, doing it on magister lab normal would take under 2 mins to farm, meaning you can mass farm them and even quickly open them since its just grave walker, yes its less drop chance, but when you can open 10 of the 3% chance materials in the same span it takes you for one of the hard mode, its just a better rate
