Gorgaricus Spore is a long-standing resource first introduced with the Fortuna update in Update 24.0 (2018-11-08), originally tied to the ecosystems of Orb Vallis.
Its relevance has resurfaced with The Vallis Undermind update, as it’s now required for crafting several newly added items connected to Fortuna’s latest content.
Although there are multiple ways to obtain this resource, many players still find older farming methods faster and more efficient depending on their preferred gameplay activities.
Where To Get Gorgaricus Spore?
Gorgaricus Spore can only be obtained on Venus, primarily within the Orb Vallis, either through free exploration or by completing Undermines Bounties.
Players can access Orb Vallis directly from the Navigation Chart to freely farm the resource, or start Undermines Bounties by speaking with Nightcap in The Airlock.
How To Get Gorgaricus Spore?
The most efficient method to obtain Gorgaricus Spores is by exploring Orb Vallis, as Undermine Bounties only provide them occasionally and are not always reliable.
1) Exploring Orb Vallis
While exploring Orb Vallies, you may notice sacks under the heads of mushrooms that are glowing purple, and these are called Gorgaricus Sacs.
Destroying these will cause the sacs to fall to the ground, and upon exploding, they will drop Gorgaricus Spores that you can loot.
Additionally, going around destroying loot containers in enemy bases in Orb Vallies can cause several resources to drop, including Gorgaricus Spores.
2) Deepmines Bounties Rewards
Gorgaricus Spores can be obtained as one of the rewards from Deepmines Bounties, which is mainly the “Weed The Garden” bounty.
This resource can be obtained as an Uncommon Reward, which will provide you with 20 Gorgaricus Spores if selected from the bounty’s drop table.
While this is a large amount of Gorgaricus Spores, it is not exactly the most efficient way, and you might be better off farming in Orb Vallis.
Best Gorgaricus Spore Farming Methods
If you need Gorgaricus Spore for some of the items that were introduced in The Vallis Undermind update, it would be good to do Undermines Bounties if you still need blueprints.
Once Gorgaricus Spores are the only resources that you need, and you no longer need anything from the Undermines Bounties, exploring Orb Vallis would be a priority.
All you have to do if you need a lot of Gorgaricus Spores is to fly around using your Archwing and destroy Gorgaricus Sacs to get the resource. (You can also destroy containers if you come across them)
