Primal Nexus Farming Guide

Primal Nexus Farming Guide

My 100th post has to be a guide, of course. 

Like I always state in my guides, this is mainly for new players or solo players looking to get their hands on new gear at a quick rate.

***The main objective is to always single out the monster you need at the greatest amount possible under a specified time frame.***

These calculations are based on my averages.

Quest: Lost Soul Blade on PINKAL.

Primal Nexus

Roughly 6 minute run
10 runs per hour

3x on Happy Hour - 31/1300
 Per 1 run = 2.39%
23.85% an Hour

2x on Normal - 31/1950 
Per 1 run = 1.59%
15.9% an Hour

*Side Bonus!*

IMMORTAL/HP

3x on Happy Hour = 8/226
per 1 run -3.54%
Per hour = 35.4%

2x on Normal - 8/338
Per 1 run 2.37%
Per 1 Hour = 23.67%

 

In this video, I demonstrate how I farm this item using this method. /Lobby right where I stop. Rinse and repeat until you get your Primal Nexus.

As always, Happy Hunting!

Great guide! Woot. Thank you!

Alternatively you can hunt that on Oran Mine Offensive which is actually faster.

Using your same wording for comparison:

Roughly 4 minutes run
15 runs per hour

3x on Happy Hour - 20/988
Per 1 run = 2.02%
30.36% an Hour

2x on Normal - 20/1483
Per 1 run = 1.35%
20.23% an Hour

 

And as a Baranz drop, this method can also be used for DVL/DVA farming.

Baranz are a pain in the ass in large amounts and provide an even higher death probability alone or even paired with other monsters. I do like the idea of farming DVL and other Baranz related items through this method, though. My method is based on simplicity and consistency. There are a lot of mobs in the way here, that have an even higher potential to kill you and ruin the time frame I talk about here. The amount of times you come close to death shows this. In comparison, it is less likely to die by a Sinow Blue.

"The amount of times I come close to death" ? Those were all intentional and calculated in order to trigger mag invincibility and gain some time.

If you want I can also record a "safe mode" run in which I will dodge all the missiles and avoid "getting close to death". It will just take longer.

Anyway I only tried to suggest an alternative way to hunt them (as I said in my previous post), so sorry if I offended you.

Thanks for the guide.

Don't get me wrong, I love that you took the time to post a video in addition to the guide. It is very helpful. I am just talking in regards to the new players who do not use the invincibility triggers or did not know about it, because I never thought of it. I personally just end up getting killed by Baranz   I am not new but have never forced an invincibility trigger but I would like to try it sometime as it seems very useful. I also most likely get destroyed from mainly using the action bar instead of the technique window menu. Thank you for exposing the community to amazing tips and tricks.

I would like to say thank you for this guide. I actually got my Primal Nexus ONLY because of this guide. It took me 3 days and 2 Happy Hours but it is and was SO worth it. I have recently discovered that I can use a Gi-Foie strategy to clear this about as fast if not shave a little time off (if everything goes correctly) More people in search of Primal Nexus and V802 should definitely see this guide. <3
