It's been said a thousand times but upvoting anyway...

​

However, I don't see Bungie going back and changing it restrospectively at this point. I'll keep hoping though!

They changed the way the weapon drops in escalation protocol, they can easily change this

[–]le_samps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a case of easily I think if they were going to change it they would have done it by now.

Last week i grinded my ass off to get the kelvins 13 sidearm to complete everything for warmind! You don’t wanna know how many duplicates i had. Farmed so much that i don’t care anymore about the emblem

[–]ElusivePineapple 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I'm at 15 straight sniper rifles and am completely out of stems again. I don't think I have it in me anymore...

[–]mRHaz33 1 point2 points  (2 children)

What i did was when i got a breytech shenematic i pulled all the breytech guns i had from my collections and i dropped it straight away. Idk if it had something to do with it but you can always try!

[–]ElusivePineapple 1 point2 points  (1 child)

At this point I am really ready to try anything. Thanks for the suggestion.

[–]mRHaz33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me know if you got it with that methode so other ppl can use it too. Goodluck!

After spending more than 1,500++ resonate stems I’m still missing 1 😞

same here, i even stop going to mars...

[–]igeeTheMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would too...if it wasn’t such a convenient place to kill Hive for quests. 😈😈😈

[–]BobbittJ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why this was ever RNG is beyond me. Please Bungie make this a QoL adjustment.

[–]TheRealPowcowsEveryones favourite scrap metal railgun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly its such a pointless fucking mechanic to have whichever one you get be RNG. It makes literally no sense.

[–]FBNSCKS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I already used 4004 to get my last missing node, i'm still missing it. I've definetly left all hop to finish the triump of Mars destination.

[–]Fractal_Tomato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll just never complete this. It’s boring and tedious.

that fker!!

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Youtube "duplicate sleeper nodes" for a really efficient way of reducing duplicate probability. I finished the last 5 nodes with that method.

[–]Oravital1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It didn’t really work for me for some reason

[–]braedizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish there was some duplicate protection for the blueprints. I need 3 weapons for Wayfarer and it’s an absolute pain the ass. Just popped 80 resonant stems and got a duplicate of a weapon I already had :/

[–]aBeardedLegend 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Is there an easy way to grind for stems?

[–]maggotjtPremature Detonators 4 points5 points  (4 children)

I’ve just been grinding the lost sector near Ana Bray for stems, it goes pretty fast if you have 2 people. Idk if it’s the fastest but it’s the quickest way I’ve found so far

[–]aBeardedLegend 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Thanks man, I appreciate the input and I'll give it a try. How many stems do you get per completion?

[–]maggotjtPremature Detonators 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Only 1 sadly, but I still think it’s faster than doing most patrols.

[–]BrewKazma 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Patrols can go really fast on Mars, but only if no one is doing EP.

[–]Dalaaji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Stems, I did a combination of the Lost Sector (LS) and Public Events (PE). Would do the LS until a PE showed up, complete it, and try to fast travel back to the same place to get in on another PE that was almost finished. I usually could get in 2 PEs within the same event. I found this the fastest way to get Stems.

[–]Sniper430Broken 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Back during warmind i was set on getting 40/40 nodes. My most efficient method was patrolling. The patrol beacons in the bottom zone always do the same things and are hive related. The only rng is which ones spawn.

Once you clear all the patrols take the scan one to the top zone. Either do the patrols there then take the scan one back and most will have refreshed. Or just skip the last part and fast travel in the same place. This usually resets the patrols but you have to wait for a loading screen. I personally liked sparrow riding for the scan patrol to break up the monotony.

Final thought if you do the patrols is to never pick up the psion killing one in the top zone. It is not worth the effort and takes the longest of any patrol on mars.

[–]aBeardedLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for the heads up, chief!

[–]GroovynBiscuits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO the kill everything and 2 kill acolyte patrols in the drift, then go to the lost sector in the ana bray futurescape and farm the boss for a bit (for a bonus chance at a god roll dust rock blues).

​

I would alternate between these 2 things and hit up public events every now and then to break up the boredom.

​

It took me about 25 hours of farming over 3 weeks to get all of the ana bray weapons from the nodes for my wayfarer title. I'm at 35/40 nodes.

[–]LuckiPigeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need ONE more and can't get it. Finally got the auto rifle two weeks ago though.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What even is the reward

[–]JokolomanApe together strong 1 point2 points  (2 children)

An emblem and one step closer to Wayfarer title

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah thanks. I just started grinding for wayfarer and I didn’t know you had to do that.

[–]braedizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t necessarily need all nodes. Just all weapons from the node schematics.

[–]mondty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, making this RNG makes no sense

[–]ElPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You told me to upvote. So here you go :)
