Getting exceptional Mod pieces?

Post by Sinfulace » Fri, 15. May 20, 19:47

Is there any way to get them other than ventures? I don't want to wait 64 hours to get a CHANCE for some exceptional mods.. I have heard people see them in missions but I have yet to see one in 300+ Hours

I get them in missions fairly often.

Thinking back, for me they are mostly offered in ARG v XEN war missions (the only war missions I do) - for instance the build base/fleet missions for ARG quite often offer up a Magnetar with an exceptional shield mod and a 3* Captain as a reward, plus a bundle of cash.

I also got a whole bunch of exceptional mod drops during the furball after blowing up Apotheosis as part of the Paranid plot

I guess what I am really asking is. Do they drop from killing stuff or only from missions/ventures?

I did get one exceptional mod from a random drop after killing, of all things, a xenon drone.
They're good sources of basic crafting materials as they seem to infinitely respawn when a xenon station is damaged, so I was massacring hundreds of them outside a XEN defense station that the Teladi were very very slowly killing, and got an exceptional shield mod from one. Its the only one I've had from a random drop (that Ive noticed) in around 350 hours of post 3.1 play though.....

It doesn't have to be the longest venture:

Missions do occasionally reward them as well. I do agree that it would be nice if one could craft specific exceptional mods in some way. For example 6 basic mods turning into an advanced one and 6 advanced ones into an exceptional one.

That's sound like a awesome Idea, that make sense. I am all for that. I think the devs be also incline on that development side of it to. Would be awesome to see that come out in the next Expansion, it give a boost to massive interest to the community. Bernd make it so number one :D

Nice one @Imperial Good :thumb_up:

Crafting them would be awesome but that's probably not going to happen

thanks for the info but I already knew about the mods. I don't want to use any.
