By Now You're Probably Farming Upgrades Instead of Light Levels - So Here's the 4 Fastest Material Farm Routes I've Found over the past Month!

Greetings Guardians! So we've been hitting Destiny hard for the past Month now and if you've played even half as much as me I'm sure you're decked out in Legendaries and probably even have an alt starting up or are starting to clear Hard modes. What does that mean? [b]Lots of gear to level![/b] One key component of upgrading your legendaries are [b]materials found in the open world[/b]. The only way to farm these materials is by farming their respective planets for those resources! Well I've been farming this stuff for way too long, already have a few gear sets as well as a full alt, and from public opinion as well as personal opinion and extensive comparison testing - I am confident [i]these are the four fastest ways to farm the four respective materials on each planet[/i]. Not only that, but I'm also confident that these guides won't distract you from what [u]really matters here[/u] - the farming routes themselves! Lately there's been an abundance of [b]bulky guide videos that take 15 minutes to deliver 2 minutes of content[/b], so I tried to simplify the format for material farming route guides. (See NOTE below) [url=http://youtu.be/Nh5xH3GTkIs]First, [u][b]Spinmetal![/b][/u] Earth's silvery shiney bundle of metallic foliage![/url] - This spinmetal run features the Rocketyard chest run, it simply cannot be beaten on Spinmetal/Hour anywhere else on Earth! [url=http://youtu.be/8z_oHLTE_40]Now, here comes my favorite farm spot, [u][b]Helium Coils![/b][/u] This NEW Moon chest run has yet to be popularized so hit it hard while you can![/url] - This Moon run is an nJoi Gaming-found run that features a TON of chest coverage across a large area that respawns quickly by the time you're looping back around and I've seen tons of lucky double-spawns! [url=http://youtu.be/9OayFBhos0A]And then there was [u][b]Spirit Bloom[/b][/u], the easiest sh!t to farm since the Loot Cave - this stuff is everywhere but here's the fastest run out there featuring the well-known Ember Caves[/url] - This popular run is by far the fastest Spirit bloom farming route out there, so I did a quick showing of how the run works and how quick and easy it is to max out on Spirit Blooms. - Some redditors pointed out that I missed a cave, I commented on the video to explain where it is and also put it in the description! But it's right above and to the right of where I go under the bridge past some Gregs to the Beaver Captain [url=http://youtu.be/-Q4YaUBChK4]Last, let's talk [u][b]Relic Iron![/b][/u] My very own NEW run! Get to Mars and get this run going, you won't regret it![/url] - This run took a popular but *small* chest run on Mars and expands upon it to create what I've found to be the fastest Relic Iron farming in the game, it doubles the number of chest spawns it covers from its original, smaller version and adds a ton of raw Relic Iron spawns as well. [b]NOTE:[/b] Each video is broken down into three, well mostly two, [i]distinct parts[/i]. The [u]first[/u] is where I run the route [i]without gathering nodes and hunting through caves[/i], just trying to show you the fastest route you'll be running [b]without any distractions or disorienting movements.[/b] The [u]second[/u] part is the route in [b]full detail[/b] as if I were farming it myself. I've commented timestamps on each video to skip forward to these parts, the intro is similar for each video so feel free to skip it once you've heard it![u][/u] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/73147133/0/0]Check out my new Hard Mode Templar strategy for a great way to get gear that you'll need to upgrade![/url]

    I usually do combine the usefull with the needed. Like I always run these material hunts with bounties each day I start playing or when the Vanguard resets. Why all you tutorial makers NEVER mention to combine the bounty mission with these farms? Example 1: Spin metal farm in the Cosmodrome where also a bunch of hive spawn for the Hive kill bounty AND 3 Fallen Majors near the locked down DLC entrance in the Cosmodrome. Not to mention doing all this together with the 6 patrol mission bounty or the 200 shards collecting mission one "yellow" Vandal gives 25 shards x3. More then one fly with one hit. Example 2: Relic Iron... Same as with the Spin metal there is the area in the Burried City part where two or three Vex Majors spawn for the 200 shard Vex mission, 10 Vex major kills, etc. The chest spawns there are much more tighter together with a ton of Relic iron aswell. There is like 10 fast respawn chest spots, 10 rare ones (aprox 1to 5 hour respawn windows). PS: In the spin metal one you forgot to mention two possible chest spawns in the huge "tubes", behind one of the trains. and on the small building near the room you forgot to check twice in the video.
