When doing missions for syndicates wear their sigils. The sigil bonus applies to the mission rep reward as well. Also: do them after you reached your daily cap. Syndicate missions then give you rep past the cap.

But I need the red veil sigil to counteract the rep loss for Steel Meridian from doing the new loka missions, so I can't really do that.

thanks for the syndicate info. i also unlocked the thing in my ship that lets me look at relics. apparently i have been earning upgrade currency for these things from somewhere? i assume i dont want to upgrade any of these lower lvl ones i have until i hit the cap at least.

Don’t upgrade any of them until you’re ready to immediately use them. Usually upgrade trying to get the rare part in a full party of other people using full upgraded ones

as someone who stupidly leveled 4 syndicates i can say that it was completely pointless. the sole benefit is that you only have to trade for stuff from two syndicates instead of three. however, it dramatically slows down your ranking up and rep accumulation for two of your four syndicates. what's more, if you don't balance them properly you can de-level one of your factions.

yeah but

Ones where you kill more dudes. Currently the other way to get endo is farming the arenas on Sedna, or doing arbitrations but that's really endgame stuff.

I always look out for Excavation Relic cracking. If you get people happy to go for ages, you get a chunk of resources, mods, cryotic, void traces, prime stuff and affinity. I found them super useful when starting out.

Any endless mission with a full team will net lots of mods. Mostly Vitality and Pressure Point, but still.

Guhhh Im never in a good place when it comes to making weapons.
I used to always have a set baking since leveling is so fast.

Now I'm MR 18(?) and the best source is dojo stuff.
However that requires Fieldron or Detonite and I keep forgetting to do the conflict missions.

Go to Laruna Relay (or any Relay), Fast Travel to Cephalon Simaris, do his scanning of targets daily quest for a dripfeed of more endo.

Not sure if bounties/Sanctuary onslaught and such drop enough endo to be a reason to do them just for that, but it can be a nice bonus.

No. Credits aren't actually a currency in any real sense, they're just a timesink.

Endless missions like Defense start dropping a lot of of mods if you can hang in there. Go public and you'll usually find super high level people who will carry you 4+ rounds

also i really want a non-flawed serration mod for my gun so i looked it up in the database and it listed earth with some node names but it got cut off after 1 and 1 letter of the next. can i scroll the list somehow? it didnt seem like i could.

The wiki tends to be best for that sort of information. It will tell you drop chance and rotation, both of which are nice to know when farming something. For Serration, though, the highest drop chance is in the clan dojo. People have plenty of the basic damage/multishot/elemental damage/critical chance/critical damage mods lying around, so just ask for them in chat and be sure to have a few thousand credits for each mod that you need so that you can afford the trade tax.

quote:

The total Endo gain from dissolving a Riven mod is equal to the following formula, rounded up:
100 × (Mastery Rank - 8) + 22.5 × 2Mod Rank+ 200 × Rerolls.
For example, the base value for an unranked, unrolled mod with a Mastery Rank requirement of 13 would be: 100 × (13 − 8) + 22.5 × 20 + 0 × 200 = 522.5, rounded up to 523.

according to the wiki https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Riven_Mods

a garbage riven with a high number of rerolls might be worthwhile

Tiers are mission difficulties, generally 0-15 enemy level is Tier 1, 16-30 is Tier 2 and 30+ is Tier 3. Some rewards only drop on certain tiers. Rotation depends on mission type but refers to the drop tables when you get a reward. The standard rotation is AABC, so the first 2 rewards are from the rotation A table, the 3rd from rotation B and the 4th from rotation C. So on a Spy mission the first vault completed would be rotation A, the second rotation B and the third rotation C. Defense and survival rotations every 5 waves/minutes. This is why people generally don't do more than 20 waves or minutes of those, since the enemies keep getting harder but the reward rotation resets.

So on that chart, the top line means that item would have a 1.58% chance to drop from any Dark Sector defense mission (the infested only missions at the end of most starchart paths) on the 3rd rotation (15 waves). The best thing toi do to get the thing though would be Tier 1 Spy missions, where it would have a 9% chance to drop if you clear all 3 vaults. That's probably the best way to go since then you can also possibly get the Ivara part.

Elissimpark

Bring me the head of Auguste Escoffier.
Different difficulty missions (that's the tier number there) have different reward tables and the reward tables will rotate over endless missions. That's showing the chance of whatever you're looking at dropping on a given rotation.

So on the first line, if you complete 2 rounds of a Dark Sector defense (10 minutes) there's a 1.58% chance whatever it is will drop as a reward at the end of the second round.

If you look at the mission types in the wiki, it will tell you what node falls under what tier.

Yep, if an enemy has a chance of dropping a thing that's a constant. Though certain enemies will only appear in a certain tileset, or above a certain level.
