1. The best way to farm is to find people to farm with, whether it is for experience farming, weapon or warframe part farming, or resource farming. This is due to higher spawn rates, and in a mission like survival, nearly all resource drops come from enemy kills. More enemies = more loot.

2. Bosses have a high chance of dropping rare materials from their respective planet. For example, if you are in need of a neural sensor, you might want to farm "Alad V", the boss of Jupiter. Keep in mind that that resource is not guaranteed and usually boss farming for resources can be time consuming depending on your luck with the drop rates. If you are with friends or in a group, it would be more advisable to do a defense, mobile defense, or survival mission.

3. All data listed below comes from completing missions without the use of loot-altering warframes or abilities, like nekros' desecrate or hydroid's tentacle swarm since some players do not have access to those warframes. Take this into consideration when planning how much time it will take you to farm a certain resource if you or a teammate does own those warframes. Furthermore, we are always careful to not have resource boosters enabled for the sake of accurate data collection.

4. All data is recorded on Google Sheets, and the things we track are: size of party, time / waves, type of mission, level of mission, and the faction of the mission. Each mission is completed 5 times, and if that is not enough to judge the average resource yield of that mission, we will repeat the mission until we can. The Google Sheet containing information on the resource of each section will be included at the top of each section.

Argon Crystals are aptly classified as rare resources, and are the first resource that decays. You will lose 1 crystal every day at midnight GMT (meaning, for example, if you acquire one at 3:00 PM GMT on Sunday, you will lose it at midnight of the next day (Tuesday), 33 hours from then[24 hours + 9 hours until midnight, in this example]), so it's best to go on a farming rampage and get exactly as many as you need and use them ASAP.

Link To Cryotic Sheet [docs.google.com]

Cryotic is a resource found mainly from excavation missions. For every extractor that you successfully defend, you are rewarded 100 cryotic regardless of difficulty. Because of this, we highly recommend you farm cryotic along with another resource, and if you just require cryotic, do the lowest level mission. A good tip for cryotic missions is to bring a Frost / Frost Prime, due to his 3rd ability. Listed below are all the excavation missions in warframe. If you do not need to farm any other resources, Cervantes on Earth is your best bet due to it being extremely low level.

1. The most common way to obtain Fieldrons is from invasions.

2. You can also obtain them as a drop from rare or reinforced corpus storage containers.

3. This method is not recommended. Crafting the Fieldrons from blueprints researched in the energy lab of your clan dojo. The blueprints are NON-REUSEABLE and a single fieldron will take 10 Fieldron Samples, 1 Control Module, 500 Salvage, 250 Plastids, 30,000 Credits, and 12 hours. If you do not have the Fieldron researched in your Energy Lab, it will take 5 Fieldron Samples, 100 Rubedo, 500 Nano Spores, 200 Polymer Bundles, 5,000 Credits, and 72 hours.

1. The most common and easy way to recieve Mutagen Mass is to complete invasions.

2. Doing Orokin Derelict missions drop Mutagen Masses rarely.

3. This method is not recommended. The third method of obtaining Mutagen Mass is building it in the foundry with a blueprint bought from the Bio Lab of your clan dojo. This is not recommended because it requires 10 Mutagen Samples, 1 Control Module, 500 Salvage, 250 Plastids, 15,000 Credits, and 12 hours, although you can speed this up with 25 platinum. Along with the 15,000 Credits to build, you will have to purchase the blueprint for 15,000 Credits, and if your dojo does not have the research complete, you will have to research it, and depending on the size of your clan, the research costs may get quite expensive.

1. The most common and recommended method of obtaining Nitain Extract is from alerts. It is guaranteed for 4 Nitain Extract alerts to occur every 24 hours.

2. If you are wanting to farm this resource in bulk (Vauban Prime much? :P), while waiting for the alerts to surface, do Reactor Sabotage Missions, as it has a chance to drop from a cache when all 3 are found.
