How to get Advanced Neural Circuits

The best place to farm Advanced Neural Circuits is the Border Line of Truth mission in The Mountaintops region of White-night Gulch. The resource will drop from the yellow bar bosses that can spawn during missions, and three of them will spawn during this short one. With a decent build or a group, you should be able to wrap this mission in under three minutes for some very quick farming.

Best of all, the starting beacon and the mission area are very close together, so it is very easy to keep cycling through the mission. Just hit the beacon, run ten feet to the mission area, kill the waves, and then each yellow bar, then run back and restart. As always, Bunny is a fantastic option for this quick farming, especially with a good build.

This is a mission you will likely benefit from farming as you can get some good amounts of Kuiper Shards from it, lots of weapons to break down for materials, and a chance at the MP Collector Mod, which is proving to be a very popular mod for skill-heavy builds. You can also get some mods to break down for Kuiper, so it’s a good farm all around.

As soon as you hit the end of the game, make sure you switch to Hard Mode, as farming this mission will yield even more gold and Kuiper and will also potentially drop Level 100 or event Gold Reactors and External Components that will really make a huge difference to your build. This will be necessary to survive some of the much tougher content that you will need to take on at the end of the game.

Now that you know where to get Advanced Neural Circuits, you can farm up plenty of them to build your Crystallization Catalysts. These are vital for powering up your weapon and Descendant builds by reducing the capacity costs of the mods that you use, allowing you to use more powerful mods to get more damage, skill duration, and other benefits.
