Got to level 50 and looking for tips on Dilthium Ore farming

Hey, I just reached level 50 on Star Trek Online and I am now looking for tips on dilithium ore farming. Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi,

 

Completing PVEs on Advanced difficulty nets you 720 dilithium each time. Also, you can convert marks to dilithium, so you can, for instance, earn 500 marks for any reputation and in the reputation tab convert them to 5000 dilithium. The best ones to do this with are Crystalline Catastrophe as it is quite quick to finish and nets you 130 marks if all bonus conditions are met and Undine Assault, which can net you between 200 to 300 marks each run. There is a 30 minute cool-down that occurs after completing a PVE that prevents you from playing it, but you can rotate different ones until the cool-down is over.

Also, completing the admiralty tour of duty missions for the Klingon and Ferengi admiralty campaigns nets you 30,000 dilithium. Also, getting each campaign up to level 10 by earning admiralty XP for completed admiralty missions nets you more dilithium, around 20,000 for each of the 4. Admiralty is available from level 52 onward i believe.

Also, getting your reputations to Tier 5 gets you a very good amount of dilithium, and along the way the daily tasks you do for your reputations give you dilithium each time.

Finally, the Dyson Ground Zone is fairly good for getting you dilithium with the missions obtain from the guy in the middle of the area, which are for number of enemies killed in a certain amount of time, calling in reinforcements, capturing points in certain areas etc. and also you can get a decent dilithium haul when the dinosaur bosses (T Rex's firing laser beams....) are defeated in each area. As long as you fire at each one of them once, you will get the reward when they are defeated, so run and hit each of them as quickly as you can.

 

In short, there are many ways to farm dilithium, however, you will, as you progress through the different sections of the game, end up with an excess of ore built up on your character and cursing the 8000 limit

 

Anyway, i hope this helps.
