1. Ferrite

Ferrite is a common resource found primarily in the early stages of Warframe and is essential for many blueprints.

Best Locations:

Void - Hepit: Great for higher-level players looking to farm Ferrite with a bonus of Void Relics.

2. Alloy Plate

Alloy Plates are a common resource, crucial for crafting several Warframes and weapons.

Best Locations:

Ceres - Seimeni (Defense): A good option for those who prefer defense missions.

3. Polymer Bundles

Polymer Bundles are a common resource used for crafting Warframes, weapons, and various gear in the game. Although they are not as rare as some other resources, you still need to farm them efficiently for large amounts.

How to Obtain Polymer Bundles:

Farm missions on Corpus tilesets:

Best Locations:
- Assur (Uranus)
- Ophelia (Uranus)
Use Warframes that increase drop rates:
- Nekros
- Khora
- Hydroid
Bring a resource booster to increase drop chances.
Bring a Smeeta Kavat for its Charm buff, which increases resource drop chances.
Stay in endless missions like Survival or Defense to maximize spawn and drop rates.

Useful Tips for Farming Polymer Bundles:

Try to team up with others to boost your chances of success in long missions.
Play longer missions for more potential drops.

Argon Crystals decay over time, so only farm these when you need them!

Best Locations:

Void - Oxomoco (Survival): If you need a lot of Argon Crystals, this is a good long-run option.

Plastids are essential for crafting more advanced equipment.

Ha, gotcha!

But seriously, Ophelia on Uranus is actually a solid spot for farming Polymer Bundles. It’s a Corpus tileset with great resource drop rates, especially in Survival missions. Just make sure you bring a Warframe like Nekros or Khora to boost your chances. I actually added it in the guide under number 3, so you can find all the details there! Happy farming!
