Crafting question?

[Critter(ditimiss)]

Heya, are the blue craftable materials supposed to be as expensive as they are? or are they also findable in map somewhere?

You can't find them in the map so you do need to farm crystals/bandits to make enough money to craft things. Fortunately they buffed crystals to sell for twice as much earlier today

You can find materials for these things on the map, they're just really rare at the moment. It is easier to just buy what you need from the shop for the 76k, but if you have the patience to look for them, they do exist.

If you've got the stealth/combat skills, southern map is great for parts, Junkyard and Checkpoint specifically. Remember to wishlist what you're looking for, open every crate you find and don't get overloaded.

*edit*

NPC bandit base in the southeast part of the southern map is also a great place to look for it, so is the geothermal plant north of that.

Second arrhyka's comment. I've found nothing but cradle and weapon component mats in the Bandit Base located in the snowy area. The Arsenal. Lots of blues and the occasional purple. All rng though, so you might not get what you want on a first visit.

*Edit*
Your rarity of mats found are also entirely reliant on your Drifter Rank. The higher your rank (point past the B and A exam test commissions) the higher rarity mats you'll encounter. I searched a barrel that was typically just greens in a lower tier, and it contained a bunch of gen 2 and gen 3 components after I passed the exam.

I think that last part is entirely down to luck or its area specific, you could always find blue and purple weapon materials right off the rip in the testing grounds in the northern map.

As a side note, the blue cradle material crafts sell for more than it costs to craft them, the easiest being the coffin shell to make, its not really the best way to make money but it nets you over 10k in profit if you sell it.

Oh it's definitely luck. I just know that it increases your odds of finding said rarities. You'll still find containers with the usual, but there's better rng of finding a nice blue or purple from time to time. And even more so in high resource areas.

Can confirm, it's kind of annoying getting getting purple items more often now when I'm looking for blues.
