So. Axi S3 is terrible, most specifically Axi S3 at Mithra / Mot. Statistically, Mithra / Mot will only yield one Axi S3 relic per 180 minutes (1/9 chance at C rotation, so 9 C rotations at 20 minutes per C rotation = 180 minutes). Marduk is much better for Axi S3 relic farming. Marduk will yield one Axi S3 relic per 85 minutes [1/17 chance per run, (4 minute completion + 1 minute loading time = 5 minutes) 5 minutes x 17 = 85 minutes]. DO NOT USE MITHRA/MOT OVER MARDUK TO FARM AXI S3 UNLESS YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON TO.

Yes, farming Axi S3 is still outrageously slower than axi relics of the previous unvaulting (Frost, Loki, & Ember Prime) where relics where made available through Plains bounties and you could reasonably run a T5 bounty in 15-20 minutes and get 1 or more Axi relic each time. I recommend making a fuss about it and making sure DE hear you, since this is markedly more grindy and awful than the last unvaulting...

I seriously preferred being able to do the Plains for the unvaulted relics. The relics could be specifically chosen via bounty select and time per vaulted relic was a small fraction of what we must endure in the Void. Plus, I value Breath of the Eidolon and Lenses (and the higher experience gains of the Plains T5 bounty) over huge surpluses of argon crystals from repeated Capture / Sabotage Void missions.

I haven't included Mobile Defense or Exterminate missions in my calculations, as I find that they tend to lag behind Sabotage & Capture, respectively (but if you run faster exterminates than captures, by all means, you may substitute the following:


 * Hepit capture => Teshub exterminate
 * Ukko capture => Oxomoco exterminate
