Argon Crystal: Drop sources, locations, and probabilities

Tips

There are many ways to get Argon Crystal in Warframe, but my recommendation for optimal efficiency would be to try one of these missions (in this order):

  • Deimos/Formido : It's a Caches mission (level 14-16). The item is dropped on rotation C (19.36%).
  • Lua/Plato : It's a Caches mission (level 25-30). The item is dropped on rotation C (10.82%).
  • Void/Stribog : It's a Sabotage mission (level 20-25). Probability to get it: 6.67%.The item is dropped on rotation C (3.67%).
  • Kuva Fortress/Dakata : It's a Caches mission (level 28-30). The item is dropped on rotation C (3.67%).
  • Sedna/Rusalka : It's a Caches mission (level 32-36). The item is dropped on rotation C (3.67%).
These recommendations are based on the usual missions lengths, and the probability of getting the resource dropped.
Only mission rewards are listed here. Enemy drops are not taken into consideration, there might be more efficient options available in some cases.
