[quote]I realize this post isn't flaming someone, whining, or begging for something to be changed. Sorry for thinking outside the box and trying to help the community of players who actually like the game! [/quote] lol :D Yeah, I've noticed this but .. I've kinda been overwhelmed how much I'd need to do it.. though I've only recently noticed that the materials tend to respawn if you just stay at the same area with multiple respawn spots and kill people and drive around, moving within the area... I think I've had best luck on Venus, as the spirit blooms are (in my opinion) easiest ones to spot. But do you think Mars has more relic irons? Which area of Mars would you recommend? (The beginning area isn't exactly packed with them - as every time I do a mission on each planet, I've made it my "rule" to pick up a few materials from that planet, slowly building up my collection and I just pick them up from the beginning and then go off on my mission) So yeah, we could collectively try to find out which areas are the best for collecting these "ingredients" :) (For spirit blooms, I recommend going to the right from the beginning and going to the first area where the shanks and gregs greet you between/among the broken down cars.. make your rounds there for loot chests and , then heading to the area with the big spaceship crashed in the middle and huge fight constantly going on with the fallen and the vex... the outer corners of the area aswell as the "inner" corners of the middle seem to spawn them pretty frequently, while you keep on killing the enemies to fight off boredom - Damn, I can't remember the names of said areas for the death of me :D I hope you get what I mean...)
