The First Descendant – Fastest Ways to Farm Catalyst Blueprints

Ways to Farm Catalyst Blueprints: for All Levels of Progress

By Ripebear.

Thought I would write up a guide, with everything I’ve learned (between farming these now actually), to quickly and efficiently farm Catalyst Blueprints.

The rest of the items are ridiculously fast and easy, but I’ll add them at the end anyway.

So, with a fully formad Ultimate Bunny, Gley finished 7/9, Thundercage finished, all catalyst ready for Lepic and 4/8 on Afterglow so far, without speeding up many, sometimes just a few caliber before I sleep, I think I’ve got a good rhythm going.

Methods:

Double dipping. This is simple, find an item you want and find the parts under access info that also drop catalyst Blueprints. Keep in mind that odd number amorphous on NORMAL mode drop them, then even numbers on hard mode. To keep it easier to just look and tell.

Example – I want Afterglow Sword, nano tube drops alongside a catalyst against Executioner from 56 Amorphous, farm able in Magister lab.

Now, onto straight pushing for these.

I’ll give a few very good examples, I would say I average out about one per hour. Maybe 90 minutes being a little unlucky.

The Shelter – Speed run this, using the green orbs and holding at 80% with 210%+ modifier for 2 78s per run. Make sure you leave the deposit area when you reach about 12/13k. Kill Devourer. This is absolutely the fastest in the game if you can do this in sub 5 minutes and melt Devourer.

Lower power? Don’t want to group up? Shelter can be done in about 2 minutes on normal with bunny.

Now, something I’ve been doing much more recently. Reactor farming.

Now, with the recent changes to outposts this has totally changed this method.

You’ll need to go farm up the shards, I suggest bunny cave, desert etc and stock up. Then just start opening them.

I’ve been looking at spots with higher drop rates, like on sterile lands with Sharon on normal, 007 has a 40% drop rate, I run to reactor kill mobs, run back just as the outpost is back up.

I hope you found this useful!
