“A data holocron or datacron was a type of holocron that could be accessed by non-Force-sensitives. They were mainly used to store encrypted data. Revan and Malak stored encrypted information in a datacron and hid it on Rekkiad in the Twin Spears along with Mandalore’s Mask. Canderous Ordo and renewed Revan later returned with other Mandalorians to take Mandalore’s Mask back.” – Source: Wookieepedia: The Star Wars Wiki http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Data_holocron
so this is kind of a blanket question would I be able to say just farm the champion and elite mobs in the heroic areas for these datacrons?
When you say “lockboxes”, do you mean the Security Chests found in the environment, or the boxes/cases you get as the quest reward?
Quest reward boxes – normally the ones from heroics.
Picked up 4 of these just farming all the random droids for scavenging mats between Lower Markaran and the Okara Droid factory.
Managed to get 3 of these this morning from the Republic’s Last Gasp Heroic mission, if anyone’s curious.
Also got 9 from 3 or 4 run of the same quest, fastest way is to kill the 3 champs, then leave the phase, reset quest and repeat. Other heroics seem to have a lower drop rate.
Drops regularly from the 3 bosses in Heroic 4: Firestar on Balmorra (Empire). Kill the bosses, run out, reset quest, repeat as desired. 🙂
Droped yesterday from a Prototype Droid in Okara Droid Factory. Not the heroic area. Will check later as I forgot the exact name of the unit, will update.
