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]

Gonna favorite this! Very useful in light of my constant material shortage.

Edited by Dooodley: 10/13/2014 3:20:30 PMThe other area on Mars is way better and it's easier to knock out patrol missions while doing it. On another note, I'll never understand why people post these things. If people arent clever enough to figure out the most basic thing out there then they shouldnt be helped. It's just ruining the runs for the rest of us.

Bumping for later :)

Nice thanks

Commenting so I can find this when I get off work. Good job OP, let's hope these don't get shut down like everything else.

I'm level 25 and don't have one legendary and have 100 hours in the game :( I have 2 exotics tho.

was expecting really detailed and FAST routes like actually saying where the chests spawn rather then just saying....look around in a loop. what really matter is knowing exactly where all possible chests spawn to really maximize chest farming and only going for mat spawns if your really want to. i have my routes on all 4 planets now and i really should make vids of me doing them but i dont have a capture card so they would be "less professional" with just my digital camera recording my tv. altho my routes i am sure im still missing some chests spawns my routes are still fast even not knowing some. altho the earth vid did show me a chest i didnt know aboot in that metal crate. i should make my vids tomorrow or sometime this week and post them in this thread if its still alive if you want to see fast routes.

Comment for future

Wrong. Stuck at lvl 27 for two weeks because I can't raid.

This is very helpful, thanks!

Great job! I was initially doing the loop where you spawn in on the moon but the area you ran seems like a smaller area/quicker loop, Please reply so I can have the thread bookmarked.
-
Sweet!
-
Great, just landed my last legendary armor and now I need Spiritbloom so just in time :) Thanks :)
-
Thanks for this! I've had a couple tries at developing my own run, these really compliment what I've been doing!
-
Wow. This is awesome, OP. Thanks!
-
Thanks OP, great job. I'm commenting to tag this for later
