This Saros Lucenite Guide details how you can easily farm Lucenite and collect it easily to purchase new upgrades. Lucenite is the most important resource in Saros, and you will be collecting it constantly during your runs. You earn it by exploring areas, defeating enemies, and beating bosses, then spend it at Primary to unlock Armor Matrix upgrades and expand your abilities. Since upgrading gets expensive over time, farming Lucenite efficiently becomes very important. The good news is that there are several ways to increase how much you earn each run if you play smart.
Lucenite Guide – Saros
The most reliable way to collect a large amount of Lucenite is by completing a full run. If you die and return to The Passage, you lose a portion of what you collected, which slows down your progress.
It may take time to consistently finish runs, especially early in the game, but once you manage to do it, your Lucenite gains increase a lot. Even when you fail, reaching deeper into a run still helps, so focus on surviving longer rather than rushing.
Increase Your Drive Stat
Out of all your stats, Drive plays a big role in how much Lucenite you take back at the end of a run. It gives you a bonus based on how much you collected during that run.
Even if you die, you still receive this bonus, which makes Drive very valuable. The higher your Drive and the more Lucenite you gather, the bigger the final reward becomes. Later in the game, this bonus grows significantly, helping you afford more expensive upgrades.
Revisit Earlier Areas for Extra Farming
Going back to previous biomes isn’t always necessary, but it can be useful if your goal is to farm more Lucenite. Since you already know enemy patterns and have beaten the main boss there, these areas become easier to clear again.
Also, if you return with better permanent upgrades, you might be able to access places you couldn’t reach before. These hidden or previously locked sections can contain extra resources or items that increase Lucenite gains, making backtracking more rewarding than it seems.
Invest in Armor Matrix Upgrades
Spending Lucenite wisely helps you earn even more in the future. When you return to The Passage, you can use Primary to unlock upgrades that directly improve Lucenite farming.
Some upgrades boost how much enemies drop, others make Lucenite stay on the ground longer so you don’t miss it, and some reduce the amount you lose when you die. Many of these upgrades require Halcyon as well, so it is worth collecting that resource too while exploring.
Activate the Eclipse for Higher Rewards
If you are willing to take risks, activating an Eclipse is one of the best ways to increase Lucenite gains. Enemies become much stronger and more aggressive, and you will also deal with Corruption, which makes fights harder.
However, the rewards are much higher. If you can handle the increased difficulty, you will earn significantly more Lucenite during the run. Some areas, like early zones with Eclipse pedestals, are especially good for farming because you can activate them right from the start.
Use Artifacts That Boost Lucenite
Corrupted artifacts can increase how much Lucenite you earn, and these are always worth picking up, even if they come with downsides.
Some artifacts improve your Drive stat, while others give bonuses like extra Lucenite drops from enemies. There are also bounty-style effects that increase rewards for defeating specific enemies. When combined with Eclipse bonuses, these effects can stack quickly and give you a huge boost in one run.
Turn Extra Healing into Lucenite
A small but useful trick is collecting Aether when your health is already full. Normally, Aether heals you, but if you don’t need healing, it gets converted into Lucenite instead.
This rewards careful play. If you avoid damage and manage your health well, you can turn what would have been wasted healing into extra currency. It may not give huge amounts, but over time, it adds up and helps maximize every run.
