Where can I find more Element Zero?

Question

While my probes have netted me more palladium than I'll ever be able to use, I have played through the entire game finding almost no Element Zero.

Is there a secret to finding planets which contain Eezo, or is there just not much of it out there?

Answer 1

Like the other answer, there are lists you can use to find planets for any particular mineral.

If you don't want to use a list, there are a couple of tips:

• Asteroids generally have Eezo.
• Wave your scanner over the planet, if there's any Eezo there, there'll be a lot, and it'll show up immediately.
• You only need ~50k (I think, forgot) to research every single upgrade which needs it, so don't keep mining afterwards (unless you need to respec a lot).
• Game completion bonuses should give you more than the above amount, so you won't need to mine Eezo at all.

Answer 2

It's pretty rare, but there are lists floating out there of planets where you can find it. For example, here.

Answer 3

There is no secret. Element Zero is just very rare.

Here you find a list of planets that have Element Zero: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Element_Zero
