How To Farm Anode Ion Particles?

Before getting to why you will need to farm Anode Ion Particles, you should first know how you can acquire tons of this item efficiently. Unlike other research material that can be found from completing missions, the Anode Ion Particles can only be dropped from Mission monsters in the Hagios region.

Hagios takes quite a long time to unlock due to being the seventh region in The First Descendant. However, players simply have to play through the main quests to gain access to it, with the region becoming available after the completion of "To Where the Headwind Blows."

So, here are the best locations and missions in The First Descendant that can help you get plenty of Anode Ion Particles:

Deep Digger (Corrupted Zone, Hagios): The Deep Digger is by far the best mission to farm Anode Ion Particles in The First Descendant. Not only does this mission have lots of Elite Vulguses that drop this item, but it is also conveniently located close to a Teleporter, allowing you to get to it easily.
The Haven (Corrupted Zone, Hagios): Another mission that is very close to the Deep Digger mission is The Haven which also drops this particle. While the amount you can get might be lower, it is located close to the Deep Digger mission, allowing you to alternate between these two locations.
Broadband Fleet Beacon (Forward Base, Hagios): If you haven't unlocked the Corrupted Zone region but still want to farm this, then the next best alternative is the Broadband Fleet Beacon mission, which is better for beginners to farm Anode Ion Particles.
