In Trove, Nitro-Glitterine (commonly called “Nitro”) is a volatile pink ore found exclusively in the Geode Topside biomes. It is one of the most critical resources in the game, required in massive quantities to fully upgrade endgame Crystal 4 and Crystal 5 gear, making it the best endgame Flux Farming Method.
This guide will break down the best class for Nitro-Glitterine farming, methods, and modifiers to multiply your yield.
Where To Find Nitro-Glitterine
Nitro-Glitterine can be found scattered across any biome on the surface of the Geode Topside. It spawns naturally in the landscape as a sparkling, purple, and volatile ore.
- Open World Mining: Look for distinct purple ore blocks sitting on the surface terrain of Uber-8, Uber-9, or Uber-10 Geode Topside worlds.
- Caves: While small nodes spawn on the open landscape, the motherlodes are hidden inside Topside Caves. Drop down into any natural cave system you find; Nitro typically generates in tight clusters of 2 to 4+ blocks along the cave walls and ceilings
- Outpost Shrines: You can acquire it by completing Outpost Adventures given at the Outpost Shrines located around the Topside.
- 5-Star Dungeons: Fishing in the plasma pools inside certain 5-Star dungeons can yield Nitro-Glitterine Orefish, which give Nitro-Glitterine when deconstructed.
The Best Class For Farming Nitro
The Boomeranger is the undisputed king of Nitro Farming because it completely bypasses the resource bottleneck of bomb crafting. By utilizing a specialized cooldown loop, this class allows you to blast through tough cave walls infinitely and without spending a single piece of Flux.
Why It’s The Best
- Weapon Selection Matters: Equip a Melee weapon for cave farming. The melee variation of the
Bawn Bombs drops up to 5 small, timed bombs sequentially, which creates a broader blast radius perfect for tearing down large veins hidden inside tight underground crevices. - Zero-Cost Big Bomb: Unlike other classes that rely on consumable inventory bombs, the Boomeranger Melee Ability Bawn Bombs (Class Gem) is a regular class skill. It costs no energy and breaks blocks just as effectively as a standard craftable bomb.
- The Cooldown Reset Loop: The Melee secondary skill, Boomerang of the Wind, reduces all of your skill cooldowns when you catch it on its return flight. By throwing a bomb, tossing your boomerang against a cave wall, and catching it, your Bawn Bombs is instantly ready to use again.

Depending on your progression level and preferred playstyle, you can accumulate Nitro using three distinct methods:
Solo Cave Mining
Solo Cave Mining is a specialized farming method where you ignore the surface of Geode Topside and search exclusively inside underground caverns. It is heavily favored by solo players who want to avoid competing with big surface groups (“Ganda Trains”).
How to Do It
- Locate Cave Mouths: Fly around the edges of the Geode Topside biomes or look for deep natural ravines that lead underground.
- Spam Bombs: Throw craftable Bombs or Bawn Bombs (Boomeranger Abillity) into dense clusters of purple ore instead of using your mining laser.
- Clear the Cave: Follow the natural underground tunnels until you hit a dead end, then move to a new cave system.
Bombs or Ganda Trains
A Ganda Train is a highly organized, fast-paced group farming method used to sweep across the surface of the Geode Topside. It relies on a very rare mount (Ganda, the Sky Shepherd) to create a highway in the sky, allowing players within the group to strip-mine the landscape instantly.

How the Ganda Train Works
- The Leader: A player riding Ganda, the Sky Shepherd leads the group. Ganda leaves a temporary, solid gold block path behind it in mid-air.
- The Train: A trail of 10 to 20+ players follows closely behind the leader. They ride along Ganda’s golden path high above the rough ground.
- The Artillery: While riding the sky path, players continuously fire down onto surface Nitro-Glitterine nodes using Bombs.
- The Share Mechanics: Because ore drops are fully shared with nearby players, anyone running in the train gets a duplicate copy of all the blasted ore.
Crucial Modifiers to Multiply Your Yield
Never farm Nitro bare-bones. You should always stack multipliers to double or triple the amount of ore you receive per vein:
- Tuesday Bonus (Gathering Day): Only do your heavy Nitro mining on Tuesdays. The weekly server bonus grants a flat 50% increase to ore drops (and up to 100% if you have active Patron status).
- The Nitro Chaser Banner: Equip Nitro Chaser Banner (a Geode Companion Banner specifically rolled with the Nitro-Glitterine gathering) to automatically pull bonus ore from harvested nodes.

Choosing the best Nitro-Glitterine farming method depends entirely on your current gear and playstyle. If you prefer solo play or have limited resources, mastering the Boomeranger’s infinite bomb rotation inside underground caves offers high yields with zero competition and no crafting costs. For high-end players looking to maximize efficiency without manual labor, joining Ganda Train on Tuesdays remains the undisputed king of farming.
