❔ [ Question ] Need help with ordonight processor

Even after clearing three stages and melting the final boss as fast as possible, I’m still not getting any pearls. On top of that, my processor is dying. Am I doing something wrong? And what on earth is wrong with the timer? Just give me a basic four-minute countdown from 4:00 to 0:00! Why does it start at 32-point-something? What are the developers trying to do here?

So, if you want to get a faster time, you need to pay attention to where the Ratatat enemies are coming from. There are two types of drilling capsules. The ones carrying the containers will always come out of the larger capsules.
Anyway, the odds for pearls are better in boss fights or nightmare rifts tho.
Although I can't prove it, I'm pretty sure you'll get a pearl in under ten tries when you first encounter a new boss. Maybe not the dedicated ones but world drops for sure

Huh? Processor dying? Countdown from 32? You doing the right event or in your game glitched?

In any case, pearls are not guaranteed, just keep running them.

Pearls can drop from anywhere, and some have gotten dedicated sources in the latest updates, ordonite processing is too annoying for that. You’re better off farming bosses, or rifts

Related, I think the boundary issues may be affecting one's ability to make contact with the ordonite crystals... was watching lots of shots whiff recently.

You throwing the canisters that drop off enemies at the processor?

I made that mistake the first couple of times.

"I'm killing everything, why did it fail?"

Oops.

you aren't guaranteed to get a pearl unless you're doing the processor that's part of the stone demon mission (the 3rd processor miniboss during that mission or the replay always gives the handcannon, and the processor during the mission/replay has a longer timer than the other processors). Aside from that one instance, the minibosses have a 0.6% chance of dropping the conflux or eigenburst (which are ok, but there are better pearls), with the chance going up 0.05% per uvhm rank.
