Randulf.7614 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 You don’t have to complete the meta. It’s just the largest source. Noxious pods exist at the start in a small number of locations allowing you to farm them in small bits every time the map resets. More pods appear as the events progress, so completely a stage of the escort will generate more pods in each lane. Again, don’t need to complete the mega, but you can get them as you go along. I suggest you keep chipping away at the former and then wait for a lfg to appear. It might be slow, but you will get there 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny.9287 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 You can very often find groups on LFG. I had to farm this for Astralaria too, it took about 2-3 metas. It really isn't that difficult to find groups, just check LFG every few hours when new map is about to open 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuks.8241 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) You probably already know but in case you dont. The squads for meta are usually formed before the map resets which you can see on wiki event timers. The meta is probably not as populated as in the past because there are now so many of them but it's still done quite regularly. And you can always form a squad for yourself on the lfg. Just call it meta taxi and do it early enough to get players (about 15 mins before reset). You dont need to lead it. Usually players will tag up once they see lack of commanders. And even if you dont complete the meta, the escorts are easy enough and each stage on each lane will spawn pods.

Doesn't seem to be all that hard, but be on the map before the meta starts instead of trying to squeeze in right at the start or later. There are always a few pods on the map, so even if you happen to not get any active group, you can still do a quick run along the lanes and get a few crystaline ore. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSD.4673 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Regularly check LFG at peak hours. Buy a com tag and make a group yourself. Just yesterday there was a listing around 10pm GMT that had just one guy. After a little while people filtered in and we had just enough for the meta (only takes 15 to start, and maybe ~10 per lane for an guaranteed victory). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 There are meta trains for HoT almost daily, after reset. Hop aboard and see if they're going, or put a group in LFG as a taxi to your map (so you don't have to command if that's not your thing) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
