You can get the rares anywhere. I scanned Delta Volanis for over an hour once and probably got about eight out of the ten traces, a lot more than once (got my Accolade too).;)
I have at least 5 of each type except for Metreon Particle Trace which I can't seem to land to save my life. Trying to craft some Aegis sets for my fleet mates for Christmas. Back to grinding.
Didn't Dstahl once post some where that certain rare particles as well as all the other ones, could be found in certain sectors...
Or was that just a list of which particles do what for which level...,
I can't remember since it's been a while since I read it.
No, this was all Dstahl posted...
"Mk II Radiation Samples
Mk II Mineral Samples
Mk II Alien Artifact
Mk IV Antimatter Samples
Mk IV Biological Samples
Mk IV Unknown Alloy
Mk VI Tetryon Particles
Mk VI Plasma Sample
Mk VI Encoded Data
Mk VIII Methogenic Particles
MK VIII DNA Sequence
Mk VIII Genetic Sequence
Mk X Tachyon Wave Signatures
Mk X Photonic Technology
MK X Exobiological Data
MK XI Unidentified Substance
MK XI Chronometric Wave Signatures
MK XI Technical Schematic
To further simply, the amount of each particle needed to make any particular item has been standardized. Common quality is 10 samples, Uncommon, 20 Samples, Rare 30 Samples, and Very Rare 30 samples + a varying amount of Unique Particles.
Since this changes how many anomalies each item requires to make, there has also been a change to how much each recipe will grant in Research Skill. This too has been standardized. Making common items grants 10 skill, uncommon 20 skill, rare 30 skill, and very rare 50 skill. The slower skill gains are compensated for by the fact that all recipes require schematics which will always grant 10 skill.
To help with gathering resources, we've also taken a closer look at what levels anomalies are given out at. We've adjusted each star cluster to ensure that the anomalies that are prevalent are more likely to be closer to the level of the Sector. For example B'Tran Lvl 51 will now primarily give Mk X and Mk XI sample data (whereas previously it would give as low as MK VIII)
You can also now re-size the crafting window.
We consider this update a small step towards the future of crafting in STO, but a much needed step. You can look forward to more Crafting updates in the future as we begin to dig deeper into the system and provide more exciting opportunities for those who enjoy crafting to be able to make unique and interesting items. The first of these, our special Ship Component Set is scheduled to go live shortly after the release of Season 3 so start leveling up that Research Skill and stay tuned!
If you are looking for anomlies, here's a quick list of where you can go to find them
MK 2: Radiation Samples, Mineral Samples, Alien Artifacts
* Delta Volanis
* Arucanis Arm
* or missions level 1 - 13

I never ever come across Dekyon particles - I had to trade with someone to get one for Aegis crafting. Kind of weird given how many of the others I have.

But as far as the rares, thanks for the replies. Was not sure if it was random or not. Now I know and thanks again.
Yeah, that's the one...so I was kinda-sorta remembering right. LoL
Was lookin' for that post.
You win today
I wish!!!! ... I haven't seen a rare particle for a couple of days now! ... We Klingons might have to start farming Federation space.
If only the Klingon EMpire would authorise me to enter Sirius sector space!!!
