Talk:Void Relic/@comment-35325890-20180802143535

At this point (Aug 2nd 2018, v23.1.3 I believer) these are my preferred places for each kind of relic:

Lith: Hepit, Void (Capture) Meso and Neo: Ukko, Void (Capture) Axi: Marduk, Void (Sabotage) or Aten, Void (Mobile Defense)

The capture missions are pretty obvious - assuming you can blitz down the capture target very fast, the mission should take less than 90 seconds most of the time. So even with loading screens and re-entry into the mission, you should be looking at 4-5 relics every 10 minutes. Even if you're looking specifically for Meso or Neo relics, Ukko will still give you about 2 to 2 and a half of these every 10 minutes - and while things like survival and defense offer similar rates of return, the benefit of Ukko is that you get this rate of return on the relic type you're looking for *plus* the other kind of relic too.

Axi is a little more annoying as there's no capture mission that drops them, so take your pick between Sabotage and Mobile Defense - basically what is quicker for you to complete. While I've been doing Sabotage and getting about ~4-5 minute clears, it's possible that Mobile Defense is quicker. Given that in every other mission type axi relics drop in only B and/or C rotations, that puts the void missions as superior for relics per hour.

For axi though, I'll also give a shout out to Excavation missions (Choliston, Europa has the lowest level enemies, though I don't know if the map layout is superior on the other T3 Excavation missions). While these will take about 10 minutes to get to rotation D solo, they do offer some advantages: for the two A rotations you have a 1 in 4 chance of getting 400 Endo which isn't shabby at all. Your B rotation gives you a 50% chance at getting a Neo relic, and while your C odds are slightly worse than the void missions due to some mods being included in the rewards, the benefit for doing excavation at all is multi-tasking - getting some useful Cryotic at the same time. It could also potentially be as fast or faster than the void options if you get a team together as you can protect excavators individually, as well as getting more enemies to spawn (and thus getting more power cells). It should be noted that Axi S3 (the new Rhino/Boltor relic) doesn't drop in excavation though.
