How I FARM MULTIPLE CRYSTALIZATION CATALYSTS EVERY DAY | The First Descendant

That particular mission can also drop patterns for catalysts blueprints and the Battle Aesthetics components set. Not a bad farm overall.

[@oliverwain1158]

This video is good but needs some optimisation. There are such better ways of getting each in my opinion: Murky energy residue - forgottenese on normal and quit after the boss Macromolecule biogel - derelict covert outpost on normal mode has 100% drop rate + you get amorphous material 21 which you can get the blueprints from Mixed energy residue - no way around it Enzo agna desert Advanced neural circuits - especially if you’re a bunny main just do the fortress outskirts mission on hard. Youll get fantastic gold + kuiper as well as bunny thunder cage reactors

For the advanced nueral circuits you can run the fortress courtyard in white nght, kill the first yellow name, abandon mission and restart. This usually works for me. Takes about 20secs a run, and its almost guaranteed to drop about 3-5 everytime.

[@iPickBadUsrnames]

100x faster method 1) sterile land outpost in rockfall. Super easy boss. No immune phases 2) the reactor in this zone again has super easy boses (spawns 2 elites) with no immune phases 3) this reactor uses monomer and polymer shards which you can farm from the bunny cave on fortress and the chill reactor on fortress. Both incredibly easy and very fast. No need for 20 minute missions. You’ll have a boatload of amorphus shapes and the shards to run the reactor many many times. You’ll end up with many duplicate blueprints but you’ll also end up with dozens of catalysts and a bunch of activator blueprints. Nexon has also said they’re looking at a way to sell or trade duplicate blueprints so when that comes, you’ll have a boatload that you’ll be able to sell or trade for whatever currency or reward they add.

[@billywhizz1656]

i hope they do that i have enough valby mats to build a small army

[@bowley4]

So I have over 300 hours so far, and in my opinion, it is best to “pre-farm” all these parts so you don’t have to do this every day. Like redo forgotensennes(spelling?) til you have like 100 or so of those items, and for the ones you need 60 of, get a few hundred of them. Then you will have enough for like 6-8 catalysts and you can have them on permanent research all the time. Every time you collect a catalyst, immediately start researching another. Then you only need to do this farming once a week or so. The blueprint being the only thing holding you back from how many you can stockpile. But as you are farming all of your other various weapon or descendent parts, you’ll naturally get plenty of those blueprints here and there. All of this applies to energy activators as well! You should be prefarming all of the parts needed and have one cooking every time you get the blueprint for it.

[@bryanteo9046]

For you information, you can access all mission from Albion (Hard/Normal). From spawn, just walk straight and turn left, there are 2 terminals, one for Defense mission, one for Infiltration Mission.

[@lokistiglic1399]

Good video, but I would suggest running normal mode for Murky Energy Residue, the two wave things in Hard slow you down and the NPC that has it in normal is at the same spot, but you can run it 3+ times in the same duration, and if it drops less its only maybe 1-2 less residues. And pretty sure for Mixed energy residue... Enzo doesn't offer more materials, just easier to hack as its slower. I could be wrong on that one, but I have seen no difference in quantity between characters so far. If it's written in the game some where it could be a Nexom translation issue again. Cheers!

[@kylepittman9565]

Just an fyi about the Shelter mission. The very first objective where you pick up the green drops, you can prolong that area to farm out a higher score. I think its around 2:30 mark mobs stop spawning and you can finish the objective. What me and my son do is fill the box to around 85/90 and then wait for the 2:30 mark and finish it off. But this is just in case you feel like you gotta add to your score.

great vid ..however like a lot of these guides you guys all seem to have amazing rng , it took me 20 runs to open a CC ,all my friend all seem to have your rng but some of us have rubbish rng .

[@KatjaNX]

Might as well do The Forgottense on normal and just finish it. Takes only a few minutes, you get a good amount of Murky Energy Residue and Amorphous 009 -> Stunning Beauty is 1-2 shots with a 15% chance to drop the cata, which doesn't seem like much, but I already got like 2 blueprints after killing that thing like 7 times, fast and easy.

[@soccerplyr8]

Waste. Run ops

[@jasonbourne4865]

So many different takes on how to acquire Murky Energy Residue. My personal favorite is definitely Unknown Laboratory (Sterile Land) on Hard mode. Just kill the Elite that's on the other side of the chasm about 2 minutes into the mission and then simply abort (Return to Albion). Apart from having to pick up a few samples from slain mobs in order to unlock a door, there are also no gating mechanics (contrary to normal mode).

[@soulure]

Thank you for sharing this info, you've got this down to a science 🙏

[@theFullMeasure]

[@Weinersinthenude]

For the blue Brains you can do the border of Truth mission on normal it will drop 7-10 brains each run. Every run is about 1 min with max range bunny.

[@BoredAndBrowsing]

Border line of truth is very easy. You can camp out on top of a ledge(one closest to start terminal) and shoot things far away or as they jump up. And the restart mission terminal is like 3 seconds away. Moving around is more difficult than staying ontop of the ledge, so a class that doesn't need to move around so much is probably best.

Tip for everybody! Can't guarantee it'll happen for you, but it's my everyday resource, and i'm churning out catalyst's everyday now! Derelict Covert in Echo Swamp outpost to get the amorphous, and the asswipe in the cave at the Void Fusion Reactor! Make sure to go private! I get at least 6 a day for about 1 hours work! I only spend like 20 minute's at either to get both the Amorphous & the red dvd box as I call it! Don' t push it though! After you get your first one, leave, do something else, then return and do it again! usually hits the second time! It always works for me so far! Don't know if this normal! This is not for beginner's cuz asswipe in the cave will drain your MP empty right at bat! I'm at Mastery Rank 16 so I just punch the hell out of him for fun! Also, no need for stabilizer's! Save those for the Energizer Bunny's as I call it!

Advanced neural circuits is actually significantly faster at the fortress outskirts as it’s also a gold and kuiper farm for bunny, just activate all 4 at the same time and play nascar. I got 900 of them without thinking about them

[@theFullMeasure]

Good point, I did however want to try and make it as Descendant Independant as possible :P

[@DonCarver.]

For the neural circuits drop difficulty down to normal mode and it’s a guaranteed drop for all 3 mini bosses. I’ve been unlucky enough to have a run with zero on hard mode so to prevent disappointment I’ll take the guarantee 7-9 a time.

[@billywhizz1656]

I've farmed over 20 of them, it just getting tedious now, mats are easy it the blue print that is getting annoying waiting for it to drop, this was a good guide, missed a code in agna desert one to the right where middle mission is it spawn behind a rock

[@williamkramer9731]

For farming amorphous, I’ve found it to be quicker to just max sharen’s sneak and do fusion reactors….I got a ton both activators and blueprints….. I can do this faster than any of these dungeons on normal difficulty…..I mean, You don’t heed to put anything into sharen but duration and you’re good. I do the dungeons still, but mostly only if I need anything out of them

[@dfanica]

For the Murky Energy Residue do the mission in normal rather than hard. The “boss” will be there when get to the area and it drops the same number as the hard. You can do it in about 2 min total.

Yes you would and just to clarify, when I say bonus rewards it means that with Enzo you get the Kuiper and the craftables where with other descendants you often get only one of the two. But yes, with an Enzo you get his 'version' of the loot as long as he opens(plus you don't pay for the key :D)

[@loganharvey8086]

There is a console in Albion to warp straight ti the dungein instead of warping to the map and running to the dungeon. You can run the dungeon on normal instead of hard. Still drops the same amount of materials and the enemy that drops the mats spawns in right away. If your rotation is just under 26 mins then you only get 2 full rotations in per hour. So when you say a chance at up to 4 catalysts do you mean mats to build 4 catalysts not including the blueprints?

[@theFullMeasure]

Yes I mean I can do enough mats for 2 crafts and 2 potential blueprints in 26 minutes. That means 4 attempts at Devourer and 4 attempts at a Catalyst per hour, which will never happen so coinincidentally you will also naturally start over accumulating the 4 gather mats and this also lessens the need for more farming of them over time.

Good video. I have yet to reach hard mode as of yet when I’m writing this, but if you’re wanting to make these “how to farm…” videos, I’d say why not do two separate styles of video? One vid with the up front assumed hard mode “knowledgeable player” style, so you can expedite the info as fast as possible in potentially even a YT Shorts video. Then for less knowledgeable “new players”, make a more fleshed out video like this one to go into more detail. That way, you get out all the necessary or ideal information you need to, and you can redirect viewers of the short video to the long one, or vice versa, so you can double dip on views and possibly ad revenue if it applies on the shorter vid.
