Spinmetal occurs randomly in some areas in the form of Spinmetal leaves, which can be harvested by Guardians. Spinmetal may also be awarded to Guardians for completing a Daily Heroic Story Mission or a Patrol bounty.

Twenty Spinmetal may be purchased from Roni 55-30 in the Tower Hangar in exchange for ten Legendary Marks.
