A good place I've found to farm it is where those helicopter pads are with the big hive temple, and the two forces fighting it out nearby. I forget how you get there off the top of my head, though.

That's what I do too, I never gather more than two upgrades' worth (32 mats) in one sitting. It really goes quick, except for spinmetal for me for some reason and helium to a lesser extent. I just can't seem to get a rhythm with those two,
I play about half the time on a dual monitor setup, it's great.
Nah, relic iron is a breeze for me. Helium and spinmetal goes slow. Everyone has their quirks with this it seems like XD
Spinmetal speeds up in Rocketyard
Not sure what Iridium Rounds are, but the perk says: Volatile Light: Rounds fired from this weapon overpenetrate targets and ricochet on hard surfaces.
Basically, bullets go through targets and can hit other targets or bounce off walls. It can be fun, but you need very special circumstances where enemies are tightly packed in a hallway or such. If it could go through phalanx shields, it would be a game changer.

You guys will have to show me your Relic Iron runs.
This, Rocketyard is great for Spinmetal farming.

The fact that blade dancers can survive a direct hit from a rocket is BS.
Need 1 more for sure, and would like to have Boguester back but are also willing to let others in, and always nice to have backups.

I finally leveled my Thorn to the damage over time talent, and jumped into some PvP. sogood.gif Worth every bit of the pain in the ass the exotic bounty was. It is the only gun I will use from now on in PvP. There is nothing better than getting the timing down when you know you have done enough damage for the DoT to kill them, and just walk away and get the kill score pop up. It is the PvP equivalent of walking away all badass from an explosion in an action movie.
I feel the same way when a Fist of Havoc Titan survives my golden gun...
Yeah, Rocketyard is my Spinmetal run
Spinmetal - Rocketyard
Helium - Archer's Line
Spirit Bloom - Ember Caves
Relic Iron - Scablands
They are all really easy, and pretty quick. I just think the back-and-forth nature of Archer's Line tends to take a little longer.
Happy to show you tonight after our strike. I don't do the Scablands loop so much in favor of a smaller but very quick one right by the patrol spawn.
Rocketyard is fine for Spinmetal, I just don't think I like the area itself that much which makes it seem more tedious. I really like the Divide, specially with that Walker dropping in, but I don't know all the chest spots there by a long shot.

Depends on the day. Sometimes just leave the area and come back. Or you have someone in front of you farming and despawning the chests.
It happens
Relic iron goes the fastest for me. I go to scablands. Last time I did it I found group of four players farming together and it went really fast. One or two went into a cave, the other two waited outside. If nothing outside players quickly run to the next cave, if they found a chest they wave or shoot at it and everyone goes down to grab it.
Oh yeah and sometimes unfortunately you get onto maps with players doing their own thing who are not interested in working together... In that case the only thing to do is go to orbit and load back into The map with different players.
That made farming basically go twice as fast as normal. We should put together some GAF farming runs.

I'll add you on PSN either way. I'm not sure what time I'll be running it. Depends on the others in the group I guess.
I had a lot of fun with Invective in PVP last night. That thing wrecks once you get used to it. Not sure what the use would be in PVE, though. Only downside is in burns through ammo in PVP, but running into a Titan bubble and delivering three automatic shotgun blasts to the face was fun.
Catch up to them and run with them. I've ended up with plenty of randoms that are willing to help out and share.

All this talk of Thorn...I really need to level it up to get the DoT, but I'm trying to prioritize leveling up Ice Breaker for now...
Locking on with the truth is even more accurate, literal explosion and what not.
Oh I usually do! I point and wave and eventually they get it. I was trying to encourage Scarlet that that might be why
he was striking out.
My favorite helium loop is the one from the njoi video on YouTube. Nice and easy.

Yeah, I'll try it again tonight. Another problem for me is that I'm just not a big fan of Mars.

Mhm. Still not over it.
Again? Lol did we do that or the weekly?
I do a little bit of patrols and grab resources then, but it's mostly in small doses. I just find they get too boring, given the lack of enemy scaling. I did the patrol bounty on Venus this morning and got a pair of missions to kill a high powered target. Both died to a single sniper round. It's really really boring.
I did get a lot of spirit blooms, however so your point is taken. I'll just take a few minutes to do some extra scouring next time a moon patrol bounty pops up.
Both of those seems like great ideas to me!
This will probably mirror my approach. I'll just play and when I'm close go and find those extra few to tip me into an upgrade.
I really wish Bungie had put more thought into the resource grind. Again, patrols are lovely on paper but the total lack of interesting missions and lack of challenge make them much more of a leisurely distraction from the intense Strikes and other modes. They feel like an afterthought, when it's clear they're actually instrumental to the endgame.
I think a better solution would be to leave the overall explore mode the way it is now, but tailor the actual missions we trigger to our levels. Have us scan an object in a place that is actually well guarded; spawn an actual high-ranking target in a darkness zone we can enter, clear and exit. That way we can choose to have a more challenging (and rewarding) encounters, or just explore/farm at our leisure.
Not really, each material has a decent farming route you can take, For relic iron I use the Cabal base farm route. I get anywhere from 8-16 per lap. So just add a friend to your fireteam and chat away or put on some music.
Those are nice glitches and they work great and quickly once you get the right chests or spawns setup, which doesn't always happen right away... But they are also mind numbingly boring.
BTW, is there a good location on Venus to quickly exploit that glitch for spirit bloom?
God, I love my Throwing Knife

God, I love my Throwing Knife
Throwing knife saved me quite a bit in PVP. Really cool. Can't wait to get the two knives perk.
grenade + shotgun/fusion = dead bladedancer usually. The key is delivering massive burst damage to the bladedancer before their regens kicks in after killing someone (and only a maxed bladedancer has that perk since its like dead last in their tree).
Most bladedancers dont have a maxed tree which is why you'll notice many are much more squishy. Especially if they cant blink
I've heard 'plan C' works well due its perk being able to fire when switched to. I just got a Plan C the other day from Atheon in the raid. Didnt even know he'd drop exotics
That's what I have resorted to.
I spawn trap any resource when I happen to come across it. Never lasts long because other people zone them out.
The loot cave was more fun :\
Wish Bungie would hurry up with the 'goody drop.'
So it works? Just kill and then let them kill you and repeat?
Lemme know if you wanna do it together later. We can chat if you got a mic.
Did you notice: does it level up all your weapons or just the one you are using? I might do this to pump some xp into my legendaries and exotics... Seems much faster than lots of bounties...

Amen.
Unfortunately I'm starting to see more and more people using it which is terrifying as I'm usually quick to run away if they get the jump on me and I start seeing green streaks whizzing by.
not sure about weapon xp, I'm using a maxed out mythoclast to speed it up
yup just kill everything besides the knight then let him kill you repeat, i take breaks at 1k kills each time
yeah for sure I'm up for it later on my titan

I said damn.
All this talk about farming makes me wish I was home grinding my Fatebringer. I was a TDYK worshipper, but since the RNG gods bestowed this beautiful weapon on me, I fell in love.

I need to run it on my alt. Just leveled him up yesterday. I'm down to run it tonight if you need someone. I'd like to do it around 6pm Central. I am flexible though.

Helium is the easiest of all. Relic Iron the most annoying but I just got about 60 within 30 minutes. Probably a sloppy score but not my worst.
I use Barrens and Buried City. Haven't tried Scablands yet.

I'm sure I'll be one of those other 3-4 peeps. If we do it, I am absolutely getting that +25 K/D thing done for my Invective.
Fatebringer is so awesome. was doing 2 shots to kill 3 enemies in the raid last night.
