Just to be clear, no one was actually toxic/trash talked in the making of this video. Be kind, Tenno!

Quick tip. If golden instinct shows a hit at or near spawn, but nothing after running into the map the rare item is near extract and the map’s shape is a big U. Run to extract and cast again.

Honestly, one of my favorite farms is looking for these crates. Makes me feel like I'm playing old-school WF just exploring the hidden spots of each tileset

One pretty important thing is to make sure that you have the orbiter set as your base and not the drifter camp cause it increases loading time a lot from my experience

Hunting for rares is so nostalgic😂 reminds me of my early days in warframe when i was deadset on breaking every single container and scanning all enemies and items

I've been doing a lot of syndicate missions recently to try to max those out, looking around for the medallions have lead me to find a lot more rare crates and sculptures than I usually do. I was just thinking that they might be more common than I previously thought, and here's a video on how to farm them easier, perfect timing!

You can also farm forma through this method on the Zariman, where you probably already farm voidplumes. It is probably not as efficient for forma or ayatan sculptures as void capture, but the voidplumes are a nice bonus

Just from the title I knew what the farm was going to be, I used to run these rare crate runs with my friends years ago when octavia released and all we had was loot radar and Limbo's Cataclysm. Glad to know the farm is much easier now.

Another thing you didn't mention is the codex entries. For people that care about completing their codex, this farm is amazing for filling out those reinforced crate entries. For this reason in particular, I'd really love to see a video covering the Zariman rare crates, and even though they're not in the codex, the rare/reinforced crates on anomalies in Railjack missions as well~ Edit: forgot to say great video, lots of helpful tips! Hopefully DE doesn't ruin this farm too-

the true cheese strat is doing this on infested salvage because the tile is super small and as soon as you find an ayatan, you inv friends to pick it up and have the host quit out of the mission allowing everyone but the host to keep the sculptures.

The clan spends 2 days a week farming these crates ont he capture mission on Lua, the octavia chasis room spawns one everytime you solve the puzzle.

Perfect timing, I just ran out of forma so this is very helpful

I love Warframe for giving us so many ways to play it in unusual fashion and still get something tangible out of it. Great stuff, thanks for the inspiration!

Kengineer: "Bring some friends to help" Well... Guess i'll have to stick to opening relics to get forma blueprints.

Infested salvaje (where you farm nidus)in Eris is literally a 2 tileset map you can find corpus rare and reinforced crates there

lua, music puzzle room tend to drop a fully built forma. Though I do a deep bow, kneel and deep bow again to ensure the RNG is good XD

I also recommend having the Oxilus sentinel with you on many of the tile sets in these farms runs. The added zero effort plant scans can add up nicely in terms of son tokens if you get in the mood to do some vulp/pred muta/anti-gen mass production (10 son tokens per lvl 30 pet handed in, worth it if you have the mats to spare, likewise for anyone still farming apothic for the hidden grove spectre farms)

Genius explanation and extreme detailedness! Respect for this video Kengineer!

You forgot the most important reason for hunting rare crates: codex completion

The Augment for Lavos' 1 should also be quite useful providing additional cd reduction especially since you will already mod him for huge range

For once I knew about a build before TheKengineer did! I’ve had a Golden Instinct Lavos loadout for a while, it’s very useful.

"If your load time is half a minute this will completely ruin the farm for you" *looks at my dusty ps4 with 2-5 minute loading times with a 50% chance to disconnect mid-load*

The other thing, is that void capture mission is also great for farming relics. You can get liths from the low level and mesos/neos from the other so at a cut to your efficieny you can get new prime relics while also farming your rares

It’s a method I personally use. Tons of forma, and ayatans. I use limbo instead of Lavos, since cataclysm means I also find plenty of ayatan stars.

You'll only get an affinity or credit booster from rare and reinforced crates. Detonite Injectors and Fieldrons are affected by resource boosters, the forma is not.

Reinforced crates used to spawn often in the old raids. That was how I got all the ship parts and forma.

I'm so glad that you made this video, because I decided I would get my gear in order for the sake of not having bad equipment in Duviri. I bought 30 Forma the other day and I've used them all and I need so many more.

How to destroy your mission completion rate.

I like to use Gauss with Max range, you literally crash into walls to destroy everything in a good radius, the shockwaves ignore walls so it is perfect to to run and clear rooms, plus, Gauss has a nice aoe spam to quickly finish missions.

the spawn of void containers in kind of "weighted" in the void. Back when there was orokin keys from frame parts, lots of people knew how to find those rare containers. I was getting a forma every few other maps without really trying that hard nor slowling down the mission. Since the existence of those parkour stuffs it has switched a bit. Zariman is probably better now because of those tiles.

Glad I made the build from your build for hunting Ayatan Sculptures on Mariana, Earth.

Watching your smooth movement is satisfying

cheers on explaining golden inst, i usually skip that ability due to how slow it can be. now it can be somewhat useful

Man I always enjoy your videos!! Keep it up! 😎😎

This is brilliant mate, bloody brilliant.

I remember farming octavia on lua with the music room which had a 10-15 % chance for a rare crate that can drop a built forma, this was over 5 years ago. Good times thanks for the nostalgia.

Interesting video , definetly gona try it up. ty!

I figured this out years back. Another tip, do some quick math, if u have 400 range and the capture target is 600 away and golden instinct hits at the start you are usually good to run to the 200m away point to try again, it will either point to the room to clear or have u back track. Great video

Stopped playing warframe a couple of months ago but this really makes me want to try it!

Personally, I use Zephyr for treasure hunting. I also use max range mods and subsume her 4th for golden instinct. Her second smashes all crates in a huge area and her 1st makes her quick, her 3rd allows to ignore enemies. Don’t know why no one suggest her for looting

I actually really needed this

I just finished maxing my helminth today unlocking golden instinct. perfect timing to try out a new fun thing to do.

Decent video Ken, thanks 👏🍀

Funny to see your video pop up as I was using this strategy on Xaku for getting the last Kuria I'm missing. So yeah quick tip, this is great to farm for Kuria as well.

I love how you can clearly see the sculpture at 12:54 but still have to use void spark :D

I arrived so fast that i dont see any previous comments. While i wont be doing this farm, its great to have more ways to farm resources. Thanks for pointing this out! farming in just 1 way gets mind numbin after a while.

I used to do Rare crate farms way back when Void Keys was a thing. Back then the rare mods and drops were totally worth it, so i have found a bunch of them. But now with Golden Intrinsicts, this is such a chill farm when you just wana sit down and chat with your mates.

That's a nice strategy. A long time ago I was using limbo with max range to cast bubble and destroy all crates around and look for loot with hunter instinct. I found couple aytan sculptures this way even though I was looking for different resources

Completing all the scans should get you that rare container as a decoration.

Late here but love how you take direct community feedback and turn it into relevant content. Goated

If you don’t care about the ayatan just speed running lua missions looking for the guaranteed crate in the Octavia puzzle is great source of built forma without a team or even optimized builds

Another thing that could help is running a tonfa for the extra bullet jump velocity

I already have a treasure hunter zaku, but I used it to find plumes and I didn't think rare crates would be so not rare. Although come to think of it, I already got 2 aircraft sets from Zariman rare chests without even knowing how they look.

The lua exterminate mission has a chance to spawn the Orokin crates. It also has a chance to spawn the Octavia puzzle which also has a chance to spawn a built forma.

Any idea if golden instinct picks up the Lua music room crate before the room has been solved? The crate in that room has a 1/8 chance to drop a forma, but the room itself spawns very often.

Imagine if Warframe had a button "Retry Mission", instead of quiting and rejoining everytime

Thanks for this.. I remember I used to farm rare crate forma on Lua.

I'm finally starting to run low on my plague star forma so I need this lmao

No way I got forma, affinity booster and mantis part on my first try! Perfect vid

Zephyr. Airburst has a vacuum effect upn breaking crates.

I'm going to all throw in Zephyr as a great choice for a frame to farm here. Her 2 can be used to break containers and benefits from range, her 1 can be used to move fast, and her 4 is an easy subsume target. If you don't have the parallax, this makes her a really good choice for blowing up all the loot containers in a room and moving on while looking for the goods.

player with 10 dollars to burn: look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of my power

imo, farming relic staff is more profitable, because sometimes it drops you item for 30-50 plat from a random relic, which you can sell and buy whatever you want

I forgot golden instinct existed but I do randomly pop Parallax air supports, I'm at a point where I have more ayatan sculptures than I can fill

oh i remember the old raids having lots of these caches

Underrated frame for speed is Hydroid with tidal surge you can activate it back to back and jump out of it carrying the momentum of the surge amd immediately surge again. But naturally youd need a ton of efficiency to make full use of this otherwise youll be hunting orbs a lot lol.

Thanks for the guide. Maybe I will finally farm Octavia chass

This had to be nerfed recently. It's been my go to for years but I recently put about 10 hours in Hepit (over a few days) and only got 1 forma.

I find the rare crates with built forma on lua while farming drift mods. I took your advice on golden instinct, but put over thermal sunder on my normal gauss since his mach rush can break boxes through walls.

If you do this on Lua you can get the octavia room that has a crate the has a 15% drop chance for forma after you do the Simon says puzzle

I recently started fresh on pc and I have already found more than 8 rare containers without golden instinct or parallax. The secret is knowing what I call “red flag spots”. Rare containers and ayatan sculptures do not spawn in regular container locations but rather in their own unique spots. They share these spawn locations with cephalon fragments, soma chords, frame fighters, and syndicate medallions. Using loot radar you can see if a container spawns in a “red flag spot”. This is especially good for new players as endo isn’t abundant and ayatan sculptures help immensely and they don’t have access to golden instinct or parallax.

I love this!

TheKengineer doing the Lord's work again I see

My brain is so tired that you sound like a really nice Ballas. Also you can do this on Oestrus Eris the infested salvage mission cause the tileset is so tiny. Sadly you won't get forma, only fieldron. But you will get lots of sculps.

I used a max range Xaku & golden instinct to find the Kuria & I cant remember finding a single rare crate in all of the run. I think the Orokin music puzzle is a better way to farm rare caches for forma

If you are poor or new, you can go for cheap solution and invest in loot detection aura (this aura can show sculptures as crate icon) , and expand it with thieft wit, animal instinct and this one mod with increase aura strenght, and then go on any mission you want to, for example grind warframes for hermits for faster level up, in meantime running around with looting aura and carrier in your limbo warframe (i suggest to put as much ability range, as you are capable of) and just cast your cataclysm ability in rooms, when crates are open they will dissapear from radar, so if you see crate icon after casting ability, its high chance that its sculpture. by the way, aura can show other stuff with normally dont show on radar other parts for this you can configure or find out yourself, this above is just example.

Im a bit late :D But have you tryed farming in musikpuzzle on lua ? I never had the mental health to try it mor then 2H XD and got mostly one or two former ( nearly 1 year ago)

Lovely... a way I can grind out the last few scans of the reinforced Orokin container. Otherwise though I am not looking forward to doing the same for the Ancient Casks on the Zariman... what with the angel feathers muddying things

One of the only farms I truly can’t be bothered with at this point is for the xiphos. By contrast the “rare” boxes are fairly common and on my map scouring box-break builds super easy to smash n grab in the way to other objectives (tileset depending ofc).

I think one thing that's worth noting about farming Forma this way versus popping relics for them; The relics only give you 1 forma every 23 hours (not counting with selling the loot for plat and buying the forma pack for plat from the market). This is due to the blueprint construction limitation.

I had no idea these existed, but apparently i’ve found at least 2 because i have a few mantis blueprints.

i am defiantly going to try this haha, as a new player i need, ALLOT of forma, endo, and the boosters are nice as well side note, not sure if you have done a video on this or not, but lots of people i talk to don't even know this is a thing, everyone knows about farming rare resources with spare parts but, did you know that you can make it ALLOT faster, and remove the need for respawning? theirs a really bad augment mod for dispensary that you can cast every 60 seconds, and all it does is revive your sentinel, now 60 seconds is a long wait to be reviving your sentinel, however it not only revives your sentinel, but anyone's sentinel in your group, meaning 1 repair dispensary + 4 players with spare parts = 4 sentinels every 60 seconds, and if you have more payers with dispensary + repair dispensary, you can chain revive your sentinels, while one repair dispensary is on cooldown, someone else will be ready to use it etc. with 2 repair dispensaries that's up to 8 sentinels per minute, and if everyone runs repair dispensary, that's up to 16 sentinels per minute which = 7 and a bit rare resource, every single minute with the optimal setup, honestly, this may be a bit hard to pull off since you need to wait for the sentinel to die etc and their is an unfortunate bug with repair dispensary, if your in your operator form and you walk near a dispensary, the sentinel will follow your operator instead, and kind of bug out, however, this can be mostly avoided by having a dedicated dispensary spot, away but close to enemies, and a dedicated farming spot long duration on dispensary will help as well, as you can have multiple dispensaries out at the same time, grab a sentinel, let it die, and then come back and grab another sentinel 3 or more people with repair dispensary should be fairly optimal, with 2 players the farm is still good, but their is some downtime while waiting for your repair dispensary cooldown

Found Galatea can be a good source as well, am now trying to farm in a sequence 1. Hepit, 2. Mariana, 3. Skyresh, 4. Galatea to see if there's better odds,lol.

i ve never seen the reonfocred crate even by plating in the void quite a lot

This is genius, I don't know why I didn't think of this before. This is exactly what I should be doing while I binge YT and more Kengineer videos 😉😉😉

9:10 "Deciated Group" LMAO Im Dyslexic too....

I fuckin' main Lavos and never knew probe works on any cooldowns except his own kit, you learn something new every day lol

All these years and I didn't know about landing craft abilities lol

Haven't scrolled through all the comments yet (and also didn't hear this place said in the listing of different rare crates at the beginning of the video) but I saw only one other mention that the Zariman has a rare crate too!!! It's called "Molted Cask" and has a coiled, spring-like design. So there's actually 4 "factions" that have rare crates in the game that I'm aware of. Grineer, Corpus, Orokin, and Zariman. Looking at my Codex now, it seems that each faction has AT LEAST 2 rare crates. Grineer: 3. (Rare Grineer Storage Container, Reinforced Grineer Storage Container, & Forgotten Grineer Storage Container (Earth-based as it's covered in moss/grass) Corpus: 2. (Rare Corpus Storage Container, & Reinforced Corpus Storage Container. Maybe I'm missing one?) Orokin: 3? (Rare Orokin Storage Container and two "undiscovered" entries that, when looked at closely, the silhouettes seem to have a "handle" that resembles Orokin design and one looks like it matches what shows in the first second of this video.) Zariman: 3? (Molted Cask, and one "undiscovered" entry that has a similar shape to the Cask next to it, but I'm unsure. I could be assuming. I also assume there's a 3rd that is yet to have a Codex entry or just won't appear until I scan it since almost everybody else has 3.)

Anyone experienced with this have comparisons running this farm in the void vs Lua? There are no race challenges on Lua, but it has its other quirks, so I wondered if there was any meaningful difference. The first forma crate I ever found was in conjunction survival, so I just assumed that was the only place they came up

Man I wish I had the sanity plus gear to do this, worst thing is it's only a 30 min booster, the booster is probably used by the time you get another booster.

Nice strategy. How about the Zariman ones? Golden instinct detects all the voidplumes which makes it longer to finish the mission and more annoying. Hope you came make one video about that. On the others side, Lavos pretty gud for the missions. And Nice video.

Is this more efficient in terms of forma farming than hoping that the lua exterminate gives you the forma room which has a chance to give you forma? I know that farming plat is better than both, but I just can't be asked to deal with the scammery and entitlement in trade chat.

I came up with this idea like half a year ago and started looking for orokin rare containers and the rare ones on earth for scans. Personally i used titania. In like 2 hours i managed to get all the codex scans i needed took like 40 runs or 50 runs in capture missions. On zariman on the other hand is different story not only that zariman missions have also rate containers but orokin eye interfere with pinions so its much harder to find the rate crates

Remember Golden Instinct only function wether there's rare item in those maps. Orokin eye is the more effective to find it

Gauss Mach rush crash is great to move and break containers

Damn, son. I saw the thumbnail and title and thought it was clickbait but I got a sculpture within 5 minutes of trying your methods 😨

is the spawn rate increased or affected in any way in steel path?

I think the hardest part in this set up is having friends who would do this

hepit can also give you aya and relics so even better!
