Crasher you can just keep re spawning sanctuary you get like 4 or 5 eridium per run or you can rush through the story and farm the end boss.

Eridium is uncommon & rarely dropped by regular enemies & infrequently found in containers like lockers & chests. It can also be obtained by playing slot machines around Pandora or as a mission reward.

Early in the story missions around where you are, the quantities of Eridium available to you are low ~ they're desired for increasing your ammo slots. Early in the story missions if the game is saved and quit after entering Bloodshot Stronghold an exit back to Three Horns Divide will spawn Badmaw again for a high chance at getting up to 4 Eridium. Later in the story missions BNK3R and the Warrior can drop high quantities of Eridium. In DLCs The Handsome Sorcerer, Handsome Dragon, and the Ancient Dragons of Destruction can all drop high quantities of Eridium, with the Dragons regularly providing the most.

In the BL2 DLCs, these will be tough if not impossible at lvl 19 but later the enemies in the Tina DLC can drop the highest quantities of Eridium in the game e.g. Handsome Sorcerer, Handsome Dragon, Ancient Dragons of Destruction all drop lots of Eridium with Ancient Dragons the most. Using the Flamerock Slots will give Eridium most efficiently with 4 players as each one gained goes to each player.

If you have tiny tina's dlc, try the torgue's mission

At level 19 your best bet as mentioned above, Will be farming bad maw at three horns. Dont start any of the main DLC (Tiny Tina, Hammerlock's, Campain of Carnage,captain scarlet) until youre a bit later into the game otherwise the loot level will be locked at the level you first join the main area making farming up decent stuff for the 2nd playthrough useless untill you kill the warrior.

the warrior gives a ♥♥♥♥ ton of eridium but you better be ready to rush through the story to get to it.

Agree with Hitman. Farm Bad Maw and keep entering / leaving bloodshot. Probably the easiest and fastest method.

Tried that, but he takes pretty long to fight - hides in lava every now and then, which wastes precious seconds. Unless you are geared up to teeth and can beehawk him quickly, it's not that effective. Especially if you add entire Hero's Pass to equation.

I can down him on true vault hunter mode in like 90 seconds and if you quit and load back in you spawn right outside the boss arena.

Yeah well sure ~ the Hero's Pass & Vault of the Warrior maps represent the end of a mode / playthrough in the main game so it's natural they're a bit tougher than most but certainly not too tough when compared to the higher maps of the Tina DLC which should keep you engaged for at least a few hours.

As a fun aside, there was another most challenging quest & boss that branched off from the original Vault of the Warrior map but the quest & its boss were cancelled by GBX just before the game was released ~ you can find it now at the highest stages of TPS lol. [friends asked: Claptastic DLC mission "The Temple of Boom" turn mission into Gladstone for a Shield of Ages best tank shield in~game]

This game isn't a speed test though some players enjoy competing in those which are available & monitored at the GBX forums site.

I tend not to farm Eridium, but ... I do tend to kill BNK-3R a lot (looking for Elemental Bitches). He drops somewhere around 6 to 10 per kill. Usually my BNK-3R farming is more than enough to get me to the cap.

At level 19, I farmed both Bad Maw and Sanctuary.

Sanctuary is BY FAR the easiest and fastest and easiest way to farm Eridium.

Bounce between the Crimson Raider HQ (start at the HQ), and Scooter's garage. Log out and then back in EVERY TIME YOU GET A BAR, no matter what.

It's tedious and monotonous, but it will yield at least couple Eridium bars every couple minutes. Frequently scored a 4 block Eridium.

As a test, I started with 9 Eridium. An hour later, I have 84 Eridium.

Bring snacks.

Try to get comfortable running through Hero's Pass. It saves a lot of time and aggravation.

Why are we bumping a 5 year old thread?

Don't waste time farming in Normal mode. You don't need the either the experience or the gear. The experience will actually be (somewhat) detrimental, as you're likely to be over-leveled at the start of UVHM.

No, it really is not.

Yeah, and if you'd spent that time farming BNK-3R, you'd have hit the Eridium cap instead. But I'll reiterate: Don't farm in Normal mode. I'm not saying don't kill a boss a few times if you happen to know he drops a weapon you like and you want one, but don't over do it.

Yes, exactly. Go fight a boss instead, you'll get more Eridium, get it faster, and have more fun.
