True drop chance of Steel essence

[daikunshuu]

So according to the wiki, steel essence has a 2% drop chance

Steel path has its own 100% resource drop chance modifier. So that makes it 4%

If you have your own resource drop chance booster, does it turn to 8%? Or does it not stack like that?

I've heard it is double the drop chance of oberon components (1% chance) so assuming that, it is 2%.

I'd imagine that the wiki would take into account the base 100% resource drop chance modifier since it is impossible to play a steel path mission without it. So with an additional drop chance booster the max you can get is 4% chance each eximus unit since warframe loot abilities do not affect steel essence drop chance either.

I'm pretty sure DE made a post about it saying that they don't want the Steel Path booster to affect it and it's only 2%. You can get 4% if you have your own booster on top of that and if you have the resource booster and kavat buff you could potentially get 4 per drop.

I got 50 up just farm at Solo orokin derelict survival 1 hr with boost drop change and double. Use Khora augment mod Accumulating Whipclaw and Pilfering Strangledome (not affect steel essence drop chance). At 1 hr enemy level ~230-250. You can farm longtime if you want because enemy easy to kill just spam Khora skill 1 and skill 4 for save your life.

Resource Drop Chance boosters don't affect Steel Essence.

DE recently added a change that made Mod Drop Chance boosters affect it.

I do accumulating Whip khora with pillfering dome, derelict survival. With a double resource booster and a Smeeta i was able to get enough for all the Bishamo armor and the emphemera in about 4 days of farming.

You dont see the essence really start to drop consistantly until around the 30 minute mark, but after an hour I had about 24 or so usually... when i also had a resource drop chance booster as well i was getting about 50+ after an hour.

The derelict survival is good since the start of the map is usually the same tile, and if you get lucky and the only entrance into it is up on the right you can dump your domes bellow that and the enemy just spill out over the edge like lemings and you can just whip away without any real issues.

Gets boring as all hell and your fingers will complain but doesnt take to long to all you need.

It is doubled by Resource Drop Chance boosters, not the mod booster.

Update 28.3
The Steel Path Changes:
Resource Drop Chance Boosters now apply to Steel Essence and Riven Sliver drops within Steel Path missions.

The drop chance is increased to 4% with a booster.
