The Cycle Frontier “A Powerful Discovery” Quest Details
General Quest Dialogue
Stable Letium? It’s an important discovery; the compound has so far only been collected as a volatile, quickly decaying gas, and it’s not exactly safe to handle.
What little has been collected so far revolutionized Veltecite refining, having a stable source of both would be massive… for Korolev’s profits. Definitely worth investigating!

Guide
The quest is pretty straightforward and requires the elimination of 15 creatures of any type at particular destinations. You can find their locations marked below.
- Spinal Bases can be obtained by killing hostile creatures, so make sure you check the loot once you kill them. If you’re looking for a guaranteed loot drop, then try to gather them at one place and kill them when the storm comes, as it somewhat has a guaranteed drop.

Guide
Data Drives can be purchased from the ICA in their common variant, but also found at the Comms Base, and then upgraded at an in-raid uplink terminal. Each upgrade brings it to a higher-quality variant. Once the station finishes with the download, the Data Drive is upgraded one variant higher. This step is repeatable, and the Data Drives can be upgraded to their highest legendary variants. In this case, make sure you stop at the “Valuable” (Purple) variant. These sorts of stations can be found at the Comms Base, South-East Uplink, and North Uplink. The Upgrade stations or Terminals look like this:
