Q:

I’m currently going for Bioluminescent, my farm strategy is mostly running to all the 4 forts and kill some foes to get rewards. This takes up much time and i only get 500 crests in 2-3 hours. Is there a faster way? What strategy are you guys using?

A:

When I’ve farmed them, I tend to bounce between Indigo And Red, sometimes hitting Amber. That allows 3 defenses, rubble, and 2 constant escorts and the occasional indigo to blue escort. Also, you don’t have to be present at the current champion to get rewards. What does that mean you ask? Well, now that you know that, you can simply tag each champion and use another extractor the moment you get its organ. As long as they don’t at the same time there’s no problem.

Also each Cryptobotanist PREFERS a specific organ. Some will give u 35-25 crest for a spleen when the others will only give you 15. Same is for the other organs.

I hope this helps.

Protect all dolyaks, do all defenses, pick up rubble and turn in, open every chest you see, do every Breach, always uses extractor and sell parts to cryptobotanist. I have had no issues getting crests.

Not to be dismissive, but “farming” for Bandit Crests can be achieved simply by playing the Silverwastes Map. Nothing special needs to be done,just actively roam or camp areas as you wish and use shovels and keys during “down” times between map events.
