Greetings Guardians!
So we've been hitting Destiny hard for the past Month now and if you've played even half as much as me I'm sure you're decked out in Legendaries and probably even have an alt starting up or are starting to clear Hard modes. What does that mean? [b]Lots of gear to level![/b]
One key component of upgrading your legendaries are [b]materials found in the open world[/b]. The only way to farm these materials is by farming their respective planets for those resources!
Well I've been farming this stuff for way too long, already have a few gear sets as well as a full alt, and from public opinion as well as personal opinion and extensive comparison testing - I am confident [i]these are the four fastest ways to farm the four respective materials on each planet[/i].
Not only that, but I'm also confident that these guides won't distract you from what [u]really matters here[/u] - the farming routes themselves! Lately there's been an abundance of [b]bulky guide videos that take 15 minutes to deliver 2 minutes of content[/b], so I tried to simplify the format for material farming route guides. (See NOTE below)
[url=http://youtu.be/Nh5xH3GTkIs]First, [u][b]Spinmetal![/b][/u] Earth's silvery shiney bundle of metallic foliage![/url]
- This spinmetal run features the Rocketyard chest run, it simply cannot be beaten on Spinmetal/Hour anywhere else on Earth!
[url=http://youtu.be/8z_oHLTE_40]Now, here comes my favorite farm spot, [u][b]Helium Coils![/b][/u] This NEW Moon chest run has yet to be popularized so hit it hard while you can![/url]
- This Moon run is an nJoi Gaming-found run that features a TON of chest coverage across a large area that respawns quickly by the time you're looping back around and I've seen tons of lucky double-spawns!
[url=http://youtu.be/9OayFBhos0A]And then there was [u][b]Spirit Bloom[/b][/u], the easiest sh!t to farm since the Loot Cave - this stuff is everywhere but here's the fastest run out there featuring the well-known Ember Caves[/url]
- This popular run is by far the fastest Spirit bloom farming route out there, so I did a quick showing of how the run works and how quick and easy it is to max out on Spirit Blooms.
- Some redditors pointed out that I missed a cave, I commented on the video to explain where it is and also put it in the description! But it's right above and to the right of where I go under the bridge past some Gregs to the Beaver Captain
[url=http://youtu.be/-Q4YaUBChK4]Last, let's talk [u][b]Relic Iron![/b][/u] My very own NEW run! Get to Mars and get this run going, you won't regret it![/url]
- This run took a popular but *small* chest run on Mars and expands upon it to create what I've found to be the fastest Relic Iron farming in the game, it doubles the number of chest spawns it covers from its original, smaller version and adds a ton of raw Relic Iron spawns as well.
[b]NOTE:[/b] Each video is broken down into three, well mostly two, [i]distinct parts[/i]. The [u]first[/u] is where I run the route [i]without gathering nodes and hunting through caves[/i], just trying to show you the fastest route you'll be running [b]without any distractions or disorienting movements.[/b] The [u]second[/u] part is the route in [b]full detail[/b] as if I were farming it myself. I've commented timestamps on each video to skip forward to these parts, the intro is similar for each video so feel free to skip it once you've heard it![u][/u]

Commenting for future useeeeeee

Thank you.
-
The mars run I am used to tho I did miss 3 of the caves thanks very informative.
-
OH GOD PLEASE. FARMING IN THIS GAME IS ONE OF THE REASONS IT SUCKS
-
I just play patrol missions while farming any material node i see in the distance. I hate hunting down spinmetal and relic iron. They are of the hardest ones to see.
-
helpful. Will have to try later
-
God I hate upstart YouTube people. Stop giving away all the ish people work hard for. Now next time I'm farming one of my runs I'll find people in them.
-
anyone notice how they nerfed the public group events, so you dont get a shard or an energy? why do they nerf everything
-
Very helpful. I farmed some of those areas, but your video pointed out things I missed. And for what it's worth- you sound like a reasonably helpful player who doesn't belittle less skilled players. I could be wrong, but that's how you come across on the vids. If you are - kudos - need more like you around! Thanks for sharing!
-
Already knew about most of this, but I did get some helpful info out of it. Time to get my last level 30 (titan) can't wait... :P
-
There are better places for spirtbloom and relic. I'm not a huge fan of making videos, however if you message me I will give you my psn account name and show you the locations so you can make new videos.
-
I have also noticed that the Barrens on Mars has a rather high spawn rate and a large amount of caves with a descent chest spawn rate
-
Thanks ;)
-
Thank you! I was beginning to think the Relic Iron was the real final boss..... It takes me forever to find it! I can't wait to try this out when I get home!

Bookmarked post for future read - great post

Nice guide
-
Hi, I have a question. I have been using your videos and followed the routes. The first time I run the route I will find a lot of chests, but circuits after that hardly yield anything. Have they nerfed chest respawns or something? Do I need to leave the area and come back?
-
I found out about the helium method when I saw a couple guys doing it and they had me join in. I didn't get it at first, but then I realized the helium spawns in a big circle and all you have to do is follow the circle's path.

[quote]But it's right above and to the right of where I go under the bridge past some Gregs to the Beaver Captain[/quote] Lol @ Beaver Captain. In all seriousness, thanks for this guide. Since I now have two characters over level 24, these mats are much needed for my armor and weapon upgrades.
