Still drops from fissures — you can always farm more.

Reward odds & payout
Each drop’s share of the average crack — where the plat comes from.
Cracking pays out on average — a single run can hand you Forma or the rare. Realizable EV discounts each drop by how much it actually trades, so an overpriced part nobody buys cannot inflate it. Prices are live Warframe Market orders and change constantly.
