I hate farming planet materials
Legendary gear - 80 materials
Exotic gear - 64 materials
It probably takes an hour to farm 70-100 materials, big whoop right?
But did I tell you it's going to be the most mind numbingly boring thing you've ever done?
Edit: Alternatives,
buy with glimmer or marks
buy with coins or motes
earn via missions; amount scales by difficulty
earn via crucible
Material bounties
Trade weapon parts or class materials for
Earn during patrols and public events
Edit2-update: You know it's boring when your ascendant materials out number your planet materials
451 ascendant materials
182 planet materials
I even have more strange coins than I do planet materials...
Edit3: Math
Will take you 21.76 hours to farm 1,632 materials if you're gathering 75 per hour on average.
To hit level 29 it will take 304 materials if you have one exotic piece.
To hit level 30 you will most likely replace those pieces with raid equipment. That's another 240
(304+240)3 = 1,632
1,632/75 = 21.76
21.76 very boring hours
This is not taking weapons into consideration.

I just want an option to buy them and other items with strange coins that way it's more of a gamble with xur. I think it's would simultaneously balance it all out

1 ReplyWhat about giving them out as rewards for those Patrol Missions nobody does anyways.

-
in beta when you was on patrol and you did the assassination contract, they always gave you anything from 7-12 planet materials, why they removed that, it was a shame :(
-
I'd love the mission suggestion you have.

Materials are one of the only things in game that don't rely purely on RNG. Gathering mats and experience for gear upgrades are the things that you can actually tell you "earned", by hard work and not by a lucky dice roll. You don't know what real struggle of farming is until you play a korean mmorpg in which you can even break your gear while trying to upgrade, thus having to start all over...

11 Replies"But did I tell you it's going to be the most mind numbingly boring thing you've ever done?".....Did anyone tell you don't exaggerate? Perhaps you lack the wit or imagination to make this particular task FUN or PRODUCTIVE! I am not going into details explaining how. If you haven't figured this out by now then you probably never will or you wont have the resilience to even try. Players like you, who want everything in a game made easier, never last the distance. Don't worry Assassins Creed Unity is released in two weeks not long to go.

I wish you class items ( cloaks, titan marks, warlock dealios) had traits that allow more materials while farming, at least give them a point to the game.

6 Repliesthis game has the worst gameplay elements i think that have been put into a game this generation seriously this game -blam!-ing sucks its amazing how much suck can be put into a single disc i didnt think it would be possible thank you bungie for pushing the boundaries on gaming

2 RepliesNot as boring as Trigonometry.

True its boring and time consuming
-
yeah, the idea of buying materials is nice. but it should have a fair exchange rate. say 1500 glimmer for 16 materials. (enough for an upgrade) glimmer isnt that hard to come by, especially with the glimmer boosting consumables.
-
My figers hurt..yesterday i farmed mats for 1 x exo helm 1 x legendary gauntlets 1 x legendary chest 1 x legendary boots...i pretty much leveled and upgraded all those yesterday after work

1 ReplyVenus is the easiest farming location, loop around ember caves for an hour, I left with 3.5k or so more glimmer, a bunch of rare engrams and 100+ spirit bloom
-
On a lot of games I've played the mobs drop their planets' resource. I see a few people have mentioned this already but I like the idea. Also I like the idea of being able to purchase them with glimmer.
-
I would hate to get that from crucible or mission rewards
-
I agree with Stainedgrey. If I have to farm Mats I try to kill several birds with one stone regardless if it's, a Patrol "X" planet bounty - or Fusion Rifle kills - or 9000xp bounties. I always try to knock a couple things out at once.

2 RepliesDoes anyone know what the respawn rate is of materials and whether or not they respawn in the same place.

1 Replyyou should get some materials for winning in pvp

1 ReplyI found 12 helium filements in a dhest once! xD
-
Agreed. You know patrol sucks when you dread farming materials.'
-
I agree, it's a painful process.
-
I'm not a fan either. But I do admit it forced me to roam planets and explore a bit. Wish more public events popped up tho... I like those.
