Orokin Cells / Tellurium / Aargon Crystals

[⛧Serj]

I started farming Orokin Cells with 3 other people today on Helene(Saturn) Steel Path[Dont know if its relevant or not) and till' Wave 5 we made like 4 Orokin Cells. After that, 0 cells and we got to wave like 35.We restarted so we can go fresh again, 20 waves and 0 cells.
Same problem I get with Tellurium.
We got Hydroid Prime + Augument and Nekros prime. Any thoughts ? Thank you.

Helene is terrible for cells, go to Gabii instead

Been a long time since i've had to think about Telurium, don't think I had any special way of looting it, just did exterminate or survival or something for a while.

Orokin Cells though, I think by far the easiest way to do them is wait for a Phorid Assassination to land on a planet with Orokin Cells. Phorid himself will have a 50% chance of dropping them, and for some reason Phorid missions don't have regular containers, so anything that shows on the loot radar is a resource node, meaning it has a relatively high chance of being an orokin cell patch. You can run the mission every 1-2 minutes, and if you have a resource booster at the same time, you can 60+ cells an hour.

Argon, I usually just use Limbo / Xaku with max range and use their respective 4s in each room to break all the containers nearby. I usually get at least one drop, occasionally none, sometimes several, but it rarely takes very long either way.

Ophelia on uranus, i think it is, has not terrible drops for tellurium.
Only downside is if you can't find a good tile set to spawn enemies quick enough then you'll probs only get 1-2 in 15-20mins which is an oof though nekros and so on can help that somewhat

Sp matters as it has a base drop chance boost and also has increased spawn. Smeeta's charm has a buff called rare resource which is a 10% chance for it to give you the rare resource of the region. Oro cell is a rare resource. The oro cell generated by this can be doubled with resourceful retriever.

Never farmed cells. Ever. I have like 4000 of them. Run one mission on Gabii or whatever its called and you're set.

Tellurium. You only ever need it for a few things. Plenty to get from daily reward or run Railjack.

Everyone claiming helene is " terrible " for cells, I have to wonder how bad all of your luck for drops are. I think I've only ever farmed it from Helene on Saturn BECAUSE they were so easy to farm there. I usually average like 5 - 8 in less than 10 minutes or so more if you get a resource booster.

I still personally recommend Helene over Gabii for a single reason:

The entire map is one tile.

Yes, there's more enemies in Survival. Yes, there is a higher drop chance from a Dark Sector. But if you're playing on public, nobody stays to the same room and nobody actually marks cell drops.

In Helene, everyone must stay together and you cannot miss a resource drop as long as you are going around picking up loot.
