How to Get Transcendium and Arcane Scrap in Abiotic Factor

     Transcendium and Arcane Scrap are two of the most essential resources in Abiotic Factor, used for crafting advanced gear, weapons, and high-tech structures. This guide will break down exactly where to find them, the best ways to farm them, and how to use them efficiently.

 

 

 

Where to Find Transcendium

 

     Transcendium is a rare proto-crystalline ore that can be obtained in two main ways

 

     1. Mining Transcendium Veins – Found in Anteverse IIC, Transcendium veins can be dismantled for a reliable supply. The best spot to mine these veins is the Exor Village, accessible through the power area portal.

 

 

     2. Looting Cloud Reactor – Some Transcendium ores can be found near the big guardian robot in the Cloud Reactor. They are scattered around in lootable containers and ore piles.

 

     If you’re desperate for Transcendium and don’t have the right mining tools, your best bet is to explore Cloud Reactor and loot as many containers as possible.

 

 

Best Farming Strategy for Transcendium

 

     The most efficient way to farm Transcendium is by mining Transcendium veins in Anteverse IIC. Here’s how to do it effectively

 

     1. Bring a Mining Tool – You’ll need a Power Drill or a similar mining device to break down the Transcendium deposits.

 

     2. Go to the Exor Village – Head through the power area portal to reach Anteverse IIC.

 

     3. Mine Every Vein You See – Transcendium veins have a shimmering geometric texture and are easy to spot.

 

 

     4. Check for Enemy Spawns – The area is heavily guarded by Exors, so be prepared for combat.

 

     5. Use Shock Weapons – Exors can be stunned with Electric Grenades or Shock Rifles, making it easier to mine in peace.

 

     Transcendium is not renewable, so once you clear out a vein, it won’t respawn. Make sure to collect as much as you can in one trip.

 

 

 

Where to Find Arcane Scrap

 

     Arcane Scrap is a mystical material dropped by Gatekeepers and Lab Rats. You’ll need it for crafting Hardlight Shields, Construction Gauntlets, and other anomalous tech. There are three main ways to obtain Arcane Scrap

 

     1. Killing Gatekeepers – Every Gatekeeper soldier drops at least 1-2 pieces of Arcane Scrap, with some stronger variants dropping up to 3.

 

 

     2. Looting Purple-Goo Crates – These strange purple-covered containers contain small amounts of Arcane Scrap. They are commonly found in Dark Energy zones.

 

     3. Farming Lab Rats in Reactors – Lab Rats now randomly drop Arcane Scrap when running around, making them an easy non-combat source.

 

     The best way to farm Arcane Scrap is by hunting Gatekeepers, as they have the highest drop rate and are found in large numbers.

 

 

Best Farming Strategy for Arcane Scrap

 

     If you want to farm Arcane Scrap efficiently, follow these steps

 

     1. Head to Gatekeeper Zones – The best locations are Dusk Reactor, Mist Reactor, and Cloud Reactor.

 

     2. Use Stealth or Shock Tactics – Gatekeepers are heavily armored, so either sneak attack them or use shock weapons to disable their defenses.

 

     3. Focus on Soldiers – While mages and Jotuns drop Arcane Scrap too, they are much harder to kill.

 

 

     4. Check Loot Containers – Always search purple-covered crates in Gatekeeper bases for extra scraps.

 

     5. Farm Lab Rats in Reactors – If you’re low on combat resources, just chase down Lab Rats, as they randomly drop Arcane Scrap and other useful items.

 

 

     Gatekeepers respawn frequently, so this method is sustainable for long-term farming.
