Here's a list of some of the places I go to farm orokin cells, neural sensors etc. Break open all containers as you run these missions. I have no official source to confirm this, but lockers seem to have a MUCH lower drop rate for rare resources than breakable containers, so I usually don't bother with lockers (it slows your run down)

Beginners

Orokin Cells :

• Saturn>Tethys>General Sargas Ruk
  • He can be quite difficult if you don't have a good weapon. Lure him upstairs (to avoid Grineer soldiers) and stay short-medium range from him. This will let you kite his flamethrower while avoiding his rockets.
  • Use a high puncture weapon to bring him down quicker. The first weapon I actually used to farm him was the Aklex which is easily obtained with just credits. Mod it with puncture damage, reload speed and hornet strike
  • On his second phase, he will do a fire-aoe attack which will knock you down. Either get out of his line-of-sight or “copter” with your melee weapon to avoid being knocked down (to copter, sprint forward, crouch then melee attack. Some weapons cannot copter).

Orokin Cells :

Neural Sensors :

• Jupiter > Themisto > Alad V
  • Not too difficult, even for new players. Take down his shield (but don't kill him), kill Zanuka then kill Alad V.
  • If you have friends farming this guy with you and you're brand new, meleeing him with 2-3 players is surprisingly effective (permanently stuns him).

Neurodes :

• Earth > Cambria (Excavation)
  • Just do this mission and kill everything you see while excavating (having a squad will speed things up).
  • This is also a great mission to get T1-T3 void mission keys which are always useful to any new player.

Morphics/Gallium :

• Earth > Cambria (Excavation)
  • Kill all enemies and break containers. This will usually net you a few morphics every run.
  • Sergeant Nef Anyo kill will usually drop Gallium (at least for me anyway).
  • No special strategy here, just kill everything.
• Mercury > Appollodorus (Survival)
  • Nice, easy mission with weak Grineer for enemies.
  • This is a good way to get both EXP for your warframe/weapons + morphics.
  • Stay until 20 minutes and repeat. 15 minute mark will get you a void key and 20 minute mark will get you a much needed Serration (if you're lucky)

Argon Crystals :

• Void>Any Defense
  • There's always loads of people in recruiting chat hosting or looking for T1D, so join or host one and ask your squad to mark argon crystals (press “G” to waypoint).
  • Keep in mind these argon crystals only last 24 hours, so make sure you use and build whatever it is you need them for within this time limit.

The general them for intermediate players is, I'd recommend farming for multiple things at once, rather than focusing on specifically farming one resource. For example, you can get neurodes, orokin cells and Nekros parts by farming Lephantis (ODA).

Beginners Orokin Cells :

• Saturn>Tethys>General Sargas Ruk
  • I never have to specifically farm these any more (I just get them from doing various Tower or Alert Missions), but if you really need to get a lot of orokin cells quickly, I still think farming Sargas Ruk is the fastest. Get a quick frame with a high damage weapon and repeat.
  • I personally farm this guy with Rhino Prime + Arcane Vanguard Helm + Speed/Duration mods (for Rhino Charge) + fast copter weapon + Boltor Prime.

Neural Sensors :

• Jupiter > Themisto > Alad V
  • Pretty much will always be the fastest way to get neural sensors since he can sometimes drop 2 in one run. Same principle applies here as farming Sargas Ruk - use a fast frame with a high damage weapon. I personally do this with Loki Prime + Boltor Prime.

Neurodes :

• Diemos (Orokin Derelict)
  • There's so many options for farming Neurodes for an intermediate player. Fastest way is probably farming Lephantis (ODA) since I tend to get at least 2 per run there (but this requires golem navs). I'd recommend doing various Derelict Missions for Golem Navs, Neurodes and Orokin Cells and then make the ODA key then repeat.

Morphics/Gallium :

• Morphics > Pluto > Sechura
  • Farm here to get both credits + morphics.

Gallium :

• Gallium > Mars > War > Nef Anyo
  • I still think farming Nef Anyo is the fastest way to get Gallium for intermediate players. Same concept as in the beginner's section, except I would skip breaking containers/killing enemies and just go straight for Anyo. If you want morphics, you should farm Pluto so you can get both credits and morphics.
