By Now You're Probably Farming Upgrades Instead of Light Levels - So Here's the 4 Fastest Material Farm Routes I've Found over the past Month!

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] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/73147133/0/0]Check out my new Hard Mode Templar strategy for a great way to get gear that you'll need to upgrade![/url]

  • there is only one true fastest way here the others are mostly lame versions. on earth u can choose between 2 Areas who wield much more Spinmetal/hour. The first is the area of the Spidertankpublicevent it contains 2 Types of chests and lots of spinmetalspots. What means chestttypes u might ask? Well there are 3 different types of chests: exploringchests (this type will only switch between a few number of locations with slightly different spawnspots); Cavechests (this type is the most common as it allways spawns in one of a few caves/rooms and what is normally looted); specialchests (this type only spawns in one room or small area normally guarded by a Level 16+ Enemy the most famous one is the chest on Skywatch in the room under the helicopters) 2nd location and the only known to have all 3 types of chests on earth is Skywatch there are a bunch of rooms and caves where the first chest spawns than on the left and right side of the Hive-ship-kind thing leftside of the well known lootcave of the past ;) there will spawn explorerchests (they are the golden ones u often seen outside;)) and of course the specialchest i mentioned before with the hiveknight or ogre and of course there are some spinmetalspots too. the best location for farming helium coils is the startarea. There are 2 different cavechestspots at the startarea one in the caves so on of the right side and one on the left side where u get the sparrowlink in the first moonstory. Also there are explorerchests on the pipthing u can easy jump on on the right end where it is broken. Alltogether with some helium coil spots all arround this area you don't need to walk long before u get something to loot. The Venus spot is surely the right one there will be sometimes explorerchests near embercaves but the caves itself will be the best way to get spirit bloom. On Mars however why u take a place where u have to travel so much? The bunkersystemarea next to the startarea contains 2 cavechestlocations one in the bunkersystems and one in the wallrooms so u can go in circles and loot 4-6 Chests per circle + Relic Ironspots near the bunkersystem. In the end beside helium coils all of the materials are very easy to farm fast and combined with publicevents where u wil lget the chance of some ascended materials too much fun this way.
