Where to farm Advanced Technical Manual early
Hoocrates is the earliest source that pays reliably: ×1 per kill on a 1% roll, wild from level 4, which puts it in the first hour of the game. 4 of the 5 are nocturnal, Hoocrates among them, so part of the list only shows up after dark. Hoocrates stops spawning past level 22, so the early farm has a shelf life; after that it is Katress at ×1.
Hoocrates drops 3 other things on the same kill: Fiber at ×5-10, Ancient Civilization Parts at ×1-3, Precious Plume at ×1-3. Worth knowing before you decide the trip is only about Advanced Technical Manual. Hoocrates's densest spawn is Bamboo Groves, 80 points at level 18-22, after dark. Killing pals is not the only route: Advanced Technical Manual is in the dungeon chest loot pool at about 50% per chest, and the syndicate camp loot pool at about 36% per chest, and the field chest loot pool at about 23% per chest.
Reading it hands you Technology Points, a few at a time, which go straight into the tech tree. That makes it the one drop on this list that buys a structure or a weapon recipe outright instead of feeding a crafting bench.
