Oxium is a rare lighter than air alloy of Orokin origin, used in certain Corpus Robotics.—In-Game Description Oxium is an uncommon component. Dropped by the uncommonly encountered Oxium Osprey with a guaranteed drop rate, it can be found in quantities of 7-12 and will only drop if the Osprey is killed before it destroys itself by charging against the player, an ally, or a wall. Oxium can also be found by destroying Storage Containers, completing low-tier Bounties, and by opening the 3rd Cache in Grineer Sealab Sabotage missions. Farming Locations[] These are based on opinions and may not be 100% true. These should be viewed as advice for finding the resource until better facts are proven. Target Planet Name Type Level Tile Set Phobos Gulliver Defense 10 - 15 Corpus Ship Jupiter Io Defense 15 - 20 Corpus Gas City Pluto Outer Terminus Defense 30 - 40 Corpus Outpost Lua Apollo Disruption 35 - 40 Orokin Moon Europa Paimon Defense 18 - 23 Corpus Ice Planet These locations are always available and are additionally useful for gathering resources that drop from enemies. However, in the event that one only needs large amounts of Oxium, and one does not have an active resource booster, it is highly advisable to run the open world bounty missions if Oxium is being offered. Since it only drops in stage 1 and 2, the Oxium farm can be optimized by intentionally failing Stage 3 and restarting the bounty without entering the hub section. Drop Locations[] Mission Drop Tables Enemy Drop Tables Sourced from the official drop table repository. See Module:DropTables/data to edit on the wiki. Blueprints Requiring Oxium[] Gathering Tips[] Tips collected from common player experience and should be viewed as advice rather than fact. Playing Corpus Excavation, Defense, Survival, and Mobile Defense missions can offer a decent amount of Oxium as well, the lowest level being Kiliken, Venus. Jupiter Gas City missions have various interactive sources of Oxium, such as reactors that can be raised from a console at their base. Keeping enemies in an alerted state in Sabotage missions can bring a fair amount of Oxium, especially on lower level missions, where more demanding enemies do not spawn right away. Io, Jupiter yields around 80 Oxium in 10 waves. Notes[]  Ivara can use  Prowl on the Ospreys, potentially doubling the amount of Oxium dropped by a single unit. As it's dropped by a specific enemy and is not a planet-specific drop, it cannot be obtained by using Extractors. Sometimes Oxium can get stuck in the ceiling in narrow hallways/locations with a low ceiling, Loot Radar mods ( Animal Instinct &  Thief's Wit) can help locating those otherwise invisible resource drops. Oxium can also be acquired from Grineer/Corpus/Orokin storage containers, albeit with a very low chance. Therefore, one should not rely on this source due to it being infrequent. As of Update 18.0 (2015-12-03),  Nekros can  Desecrate Oxium Ospreys. Each player obtains a different amount of Oxium from the same pickup, implying that the amount of Oxium contained in a pickup is not pre-determined. Recommended manner of dealing with Oxium Ospreys before they self-destruct without dropping the desired resource is incapacitating them before they are able to see the enemy and attack. Otherwise focusing on diverting their attention from fighting ( Terrify,  Radial Blind ( Radial Howl),  Rest & Rage, and similar abilities) is a good way of approaching the situation. Sorties seem to have somewhat higher spawn rates for the Ospreys.

Update 12.6 (2014-03-26) Added the ability to purchase Oxium through the Market. Hotfix 12.0.2 (2014-02-06) Fixed over contributions resulting in negative Oxium in some clans cases. Hotfix 11.9.2 (2014-01-30) Fixed Oxium description appearing as a file-path in the foundry. Update 11.9 (2014-01-29) Introduced. Last updated: Update 22.8 (2017-12-21) Trivia[] The word Oxium might be made up out of Oxy- (ancient greek ὀξύς, romanized oxús), meaning "sharp" or "pointy" and -ium which is a common suffix for elements. Considering the resource's description of being lighter than air, the name Oxium might instead be derived from oxygen. Anything containing Oxium, being it enemies or weaponry, is showing golden color, same as the resource icon. In real-world, pure Gold will form crystals as well, so Oxium might be the far future name for Au79. See Also[] Oxium Osprey, the enemy which drops this resource. Operation: Oxium Espionage, the event which first introduced this resource.
