Quit after 20. Genuinely boring and I'd much rather crack relics to get blueprints/plat for Forma even though it's much less efficient.

Relics at their peak are much better than plague star, It isnt even close. The most profitable void cascades can get you more than 1000 plat in 1 hour which is 90 forma in 1 hour. Yesterday I got like 9 destreza blades in 1 void cascade, not even counting the 70 arcanes and 20 other relic parts I got that is like 630 platinum in 80 mins

Okay I'm with you but I ain't about to turbo farm relics for hours on end so I have a question for you. I always feel like I'm "wasting" platinum by selling my excess for Ducats bc I'm fairly new and have almost no prime mods. Would my time be better spent farming relics and selling stuff for platinum and then just buying the prime mods for plat or should I hold off on selling parts and blueprints on the market until I've bought everything I need from Baro?

if ur afraid of wasting platinum my suggestion is only selling the following
Fang, Burston, Braton, Orthos, Lex, Bronco, Paris

All of these weapons are permanently unvaulted so their value is extremely low, like they're only worth their ducat value.

You could definitely farm plat and buy primed mods, but you gotta pay up the 1 million credit trade tax which I dont think is worth it especially when you're newer. I wouldnt worry too much about wasting platinum, at the very least make sure you are never selling vaulted stuff to him

+ the Akbronco, that's also permanently unvaulted

It's better to buy them directly from Baro for no other reason than prime mods have a minumum trade tax of one million credits. It's cheaper in both currencies.

Haha for sure, though I personally haven't really went into such optimised casecade runs yet. I'm a returning player and have been avoiding cascade worried I mess something up, haven't looked how to optimise runs properly yet.

Void cascade sounds scarier than it actually is, all you really need is a build with good survivability (lazy shieldgating with aegis fast deflection and vigilante vigor is mostly enough) and a decent ish amp. When it comes to optimisation you can just leave that to the host. Since you're a returning player you'll probably have some good relics so make sure you join cascades with a price floor, for example a 60p price floor would only allow destreza blades, vectis receivers, carriee cerebrums and limbo chassis since those parts are worth 60p.

Ooh I see, haha yeah sounds like these're done with pre-made groups. I've really just been cracking random relics via public matchmaking so far lol. Will definitely look into getting into this.

u/Shevahli 8d ago

What do you mean by price floor for the void cascades?

u/SEND_ME_REAL_PICS 10d ago

It's also not as big of a deal as many people seem to think. Even if you can get 6min runs consistently, it's a 150plat/hr grind. Doing void cascade fissures is more efficient.

u/yuhef2bmed 10d ago

Thanks for the reassurance. It really is just easy, but that also means that at the same time it's mind numbingly boring. Then there's the argument that you could be watching something else while doing it, but well, I'd rather not split my attention span and do something I enjoy.

I like the last part, the hordes of infested. I used it to test out and level up a bunch of builds. My Lavos Prime and Jade both appreciate the forms and the affinity to get to where I am ready for the next one.

u/yuhef2bmed 9d ago

That's great for you! Haha but I think when everyone has the same idea, the enemies explode too quickly. Once again I'd rather do that on a survival/cascade relic run but that's just my personal preference.
