Arsenic - where to get it

[Herr Max]

Hello Commanders o7

where are you farming your arsenic? I was trying my luck on some planets (Metal - EDDB - 2,9% Chance) but had no luck in 1 1/2 hours.

Any advices?

This might help a bit, i'd go for Mercury or Polonium and trade it down personally. Go for a planet with geological sites and shoot the bits of thermal vents and the likes. Preferably a flat sort of planet to make it easier to drive around. Needle Crystal bits i believe are the ones dropping grade 4 raw mats.

You have to look for metallic meteorites. Chance is very high to get some.

Also look at volcanic sites for crystalline fragments and needle crystals. It´s also possible to get some there (if it´s in the planet materials), but chance is not so high than from metallic meteorites.


Otherwise it´s just luck (RNG).

Trading higher grade mats for it is a faster way. You probably can find Technetium faster than Arsenic, too.

I usually farm Arsenic at Deciat 4
