Wheres the best place to find Arsenic?

[SxChuck]

I've only found a few places with 1.6% Arsenic. Does anyone have a better place to find this stuff?

keep looking. You can find planets with like 2.6% Arsenic. You still have to do a lot of driving around though. but yeah, if you're farming, only land on planets with >2%. makes life easier.

Arsenic:
2.7% on Timbalderis AB 1 D A.

Look for metallic meteorites and mesosiderites near the edges of craters.

How far are you prepared to go? I know a system with several planets with levels of 2.5% but it's around 11 kly from the bubble... It may be quicker to find something near to you

Thank you everyone for the quick replies. Timbalderis looks like the best spot for me

Is the crater thing true, have they really modelled that or are people just misconnecting things?

Got mine from a double Barnacle in the California sector. Needed Meta-Alloy for Farsser anyway, and collect my Arsenic in the mean time, and cramp in a bit of sightseeing. It's still not plenty, but at least when it pops up it's a whole ton. Shoot every single bud on the Barnacles, collect, log out, log in, and do it again and again. One harvest of the double Barnacle yields a couple of tons of Arsenic. I spend a little more than an hour there and got over 15T of Arsenic. It's just that getting there takes awhile. But not too bad for my 26 Lys jump range 'Conda. Took about 40 minutes to get there and navigate to the correct coordinate.

And, you get a lot of Sulphur, iron, and stuff that come in handy for grade 1 upgrades. With those stuff, I pretty much breeze through grade 1 and 2 upgrades for most Engineers with my other already collected materials/data without mining at all. One trip to the Barnacle and you pretty much get a free grade 1 pass, and more. In fact, I am almost through all the Engineers to the highest grade (but still have a lot of ships to upgrade, a fleet of 27 ships is gonna take awhile), and I still have some Arsenic left. Quite a good deal.

pretty sure one of the planets in shinrarta dezhra has a high % of arsenic if you have the permit. I might be misremembering that though if someone else can confirm.

edit: shinrarta dezhra A1 has 2.2% arsenic.

The percentage is not as high (only 1.5% on the map) as the planets already noted but I had no problem finding a load of arsenic on a planet right next to Felicity: Deciat 7 B.

Yeah, you can hardly crack a rock there without find the stuff!
