Gathering Tips

These are based on opinions and may not be true. These should be viewed as advice for finding the materials until better facts are proven.

Defense missions are good places to gather materials. While it is unknown whether defense missions have higher drop rates, they do spawn more enemies on average, making the chances for anything to drop higher.
- Aphrodite, Kiliken, and Tessera on Venus.
- Casta, Cinxia, and Kiste on Ceres.
- Berehynia, Charybdis, and Vodyanoi on Sedna.

Survival missions are good places to gather materials as well:
- Gabii on Ceres (Level 15-25) can drop around 1k Alloy Plates every 15 minutes with a Resource Booster.
Overall, any Endless Missions provides a good opportunity to gather Alloy Plates in large numbers, particularly in Corpus territories where the possibility of gathering Oxium is also present.
A prime source of Alloy Plates would be Zariman Ten Zero bounties, particularly on endless missions such as Oro Works (Void Armageddon), Everview Arc (Void Flood), and Tuvul Commons (Void Cascade). However, it is also advisable to search the area after you've completed your mission, particularly when there are timed mission types such as in The Greenway (Mobile Defense) and Halako Perimeter (Exterminate).

Trivia

The Grineer letters on the Alloy Plate translate to "armor".
Before Update 8.0 (2013-05-23), it was more rare (used to drop in stacks no greater than 25).
Hotfix 18.4.3 (2016-01-27) replaced Alloy Plate Void drops with Ferrite.
Alloy Armor is normally used by Heavy and Elite Grineer units, such as Elite Lancers, Napalms, Bombards and all bosses.
