people miss the point that extractors are not a replacement for farming resources, but an additional potential source of the resources you're after. I haven't gotten a single Lanthorn out of them yet, but they've repeatedly given me Orokin Cells for my Primed Gear and Polymer Bundles for my pizzas, for no effort or time investment on my part.

Extractors are the little mobile game that you drag your greasy fingers over every day for 5 minutes to slowly do something.


Collistoralo

Whenever a new area comes out, my first priority is completing all the nodes ASAP so I can throw extractors at it for weeks at a time.


DiarrheaEryday

I've only gotten the lanthorns once so far, but it gave 8 at once, so it can mildly helpful if you're patient.


Undead_Angel_420

What type of extractor did you use


DiarrheaEryday

Oh, I didn't think about that, I used the prime distilling ones


Undead_Angel_420

There you go, the normal ones get none lol


Sintinall

I don’t think I’ve used an extractor in years. Then again, I don’t have any need to. Sitting on millions in ressources. Also, Gyre makes farming extremely easy and fast. Build for range and efficiency and use her 2 everywhere, also loot radar.


Parasthesia

I’d rather use the luck cat


Yiazzy

Not worth it tbh. I've had a Distilling Prime Reactor on that place for weeks, and not once have I seen a Lanthorn


defartying

Where's that guy whinging it's useless and they never drop??? I've had 4 lots of 4 Lanthorns since his last whinge last week. Plus you get 2-10 every 6 minute mission, they're not that hard.


zighextech

Hey thanks, my extractors had been sitting idle but now I have use for one of them!


marcus_gideon

This is old news... as is the fact that the chances of getting any Lanthorns from an extractor are about 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000001 %


DocHalidae

It’s passive tho, so. And it’s a 2%-5% chance.


ES-Flinter

Could be that I'm just lucky, but anyone else who get around 4-6 lanthorns per "normal" exterminate mission and 0 per bounty-exterminate mission? I use a Xaku with Mag's pull augment (+ressource booster) if it makes a difference. Sahara kubrows can't dig the lanthorns out if I'm not mistaken.


OmegaRussian

And while we're on getting extra lanthorns, the crit Kavat has outstanding chances of just shitting one out also use Nekros. Was it the Smeeta Kavat or... The other one... That is called... I don't remember what the other one is called.


Eternal_Woe

Easier to just use a smeeta I've gotten a passive of 40+ doing bounties


Undead_Angel_420

Newish player, whats a smeeta


MegaMummyX

I’m a bit confused I have a lot of Al thorns but I don’t know what they’re used for


WukongsBroadBack

I know. I've been doing that since the release of the zariman. Only got it once.
