After buffs, Hailey grind is still one of the worst.
Seriously what the hell!!! When I first saw that Haley required a quantity of components instead of the singular item from a normal amorphous pattern I thought maybe this could be better. Especially after how much bad lick I had trying to get ultimate valby to drop from a reactor in hagios which i had to do a little over 60 something times.

Before the drop rate buff to dungeons I didn't get a single piece despite running ten missions. After it still wasn't very great. I did not have a good build for invasions yet so I decided to just run magisters lab. I finally got all 36 parts after 60 clears! WTFH!

After buff to invasions I did have a strong enough build to take them on and get golds instead of being forced to quit them. 5 per gold is good if you can manage to get gold it really is not bad. Except I am on my last part and I keep getting materials for the other parts I already have. So I hate how every youtuber is all like well now this is the easiest grind in the game because theoretically you can do it in x amount of days with only one rng thing to go through and not two like normal. Yeah it still sucks for us normal people who dont get paid to play the game!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure this is why people are quitting because they are getting tired of how long it takes to achieve something vs the amount of time you need to spend.

Nexon if somehow you are reading, here is the take away. It is a good Idea to have a mechanic where x amount of times a day you can make substantial progress toward a goal. I mean having the potential to unlock 20 parts a day for just under an hour is awesome. It only sucks when you get the same FN parts over and over again. The mechanic itself though is great for players that don't have 8 hours a day to play and can afford to unlock it the hard way. This mechanic is great for people who have a life and only so little time and still want to enjoy new content and alternatively the people who have more time than that can grind harder for it and unlock it earlier. Embrace this concept more but fix it dungeon drops should be 100% if I have to clear 36 times give me the damn thing. For everything else like the invasions stop giving me what I have already gotten as an award as it feels like a waste of my time to play and a huge middle finger.

Hailey components drop all over the game, I'm getting them without even trying :lunar2019piginablanket:

Was an easy grind. 20m per day. Easy kappa. Really easy puzzles also. So to grind hailey it took me let me do some math. 3.333333333333 hours to farm hailey, which is very reasonable amount of time.

see this is what I am talking about literally on day ten and well over three hours cumulatively. Your experience with this doesnt account for all experience with the grind maybe you got lucky and had absolutely no repeat part drops from invasions. Two days ago I did seven 5min dungeons and no parts were dropped. Did two dungeons today after invasion and none were dropped. invasions only netted plus 4 parts that I actually need out of the 20 possible. I did not start the timer when Haley dropped but I do know it took at least 60 runs of Magister lab. each from 2min to 3min with three being the more likely average. That is already three hours for one piece of four.

I almost have enough parts to craft her again. I haven't even been running infiltrations, since the update. 31 (datachip), 38 (dna), 5 (catalyst), 15 (stabilizer)

Basically just been playing invasions then a little bit of reactor farming. I haven't been no-lifing it. At least I don't think I have. (What do you consider no life?)

If you don't have a build for gold. Then you should be running infiltration anyways for those blueprints for catalysts, and activators. Hailey will be just extra loots. Run them and fix your module slots with catalysts while doing so. Get what times you can in invasions. Don't forget your weapon(s) too! Sooner or later you will have a build(s) that can get gold times.

I've been running mostly inflitrations. Only invasions were ' Order of Truth ' which is actually the easiest of the three, Legion of Immortality, that shield is a no go with under 600k dps. Leagion of Darkness, depends on the map if doable or not.

I've got 20-25 of each. For a couple days I tried to get at least 5 of each per day, but that was too much and many many hrs of repeat dungeon runs.

It's honestly not that bad. You might have had some really bad planet alignment going on but really the grind for her is very passive, getting her resources passively while grinding other stuff. I think the OP did not realize this while writing this 2000 word long nag.

Ultimate Valby and Gley were far more worse.... I finished crafting Hailey like 2 days ago and needed to non stop farm only 1 dungeon but it was brainless bunny runs, clearing in like 5 mins, so took me around 3 hours to get the last 10 missing pieces.... Got everything else from invasions and from randomly doing dungeons for other purposes.... Couldnt get a 6 % piercing light piece from void reactor in like over 100 runs on normal which is insane, but got it in first attempt at 32% on hard reactor.... So believe me, Hailey is a piece of cake after the invasion dumbdown....

Crying baby will cry for everything. Most of people have played from the season begin, they are researching Hailey now, many people researched her from last week.
Even don't farm her parts, I still running infiltration to get exp and AM, I have enough part to craft her again, when they are sitting here to crying instead of running infiltration operations.

Ult Valby took me just a couple hrs, less then 1 day. 2 weeks later, still trying to grind Hailey.

Nah prefer Hailey than maxing any weapon any day.
The last dagger
Secret garden
Perforator
Afterglow sword

Those weapons drive me crazy. It just refuse to drop. Last time greg also refuse to drop. Hailey at the very least you have to be super unlucky for you to have a very bad bias against 1 part. Unequal distribution. That hardly happened.

I don't mean to antagonize anyone but thanks for confirming. It's really worth going for her right now, the damage output and how she cheeses content is nuts. Just keep at it folks, farm whatever else you farm otherwise. Look back every now and then, you'll see that you're much closer to having her then.

:/ For me, I'm at 62 runs of Asylum and I've only gotten 18 pieces so far.
