Warframe is a lengthy game, locking a lot of content behind several grinds that can get exhausting. Moreover, as much as I’d like to say, “Just Skip That Part”, I can’t recommend that for the Syndicates on Cetus. Hence, here are the best ways to farm standing for The Quills and Ostron Syndicates.
What Are Syndicates?
Syndicates are factions or groups within Warframe that offer various missions, quests, rewards, and unique items to players. These syndicates are organizations with their own goals, ideologies, and philosophies, and players can align themselves with one or more syndicates to earn standing and unlock exclusive rewards.
Each syndicate has its own set of missions, which players can complete to earn Standing, the currency used to increase their reputation with that syndicate. As players gain Standing with a syndicate, they unlock access to unique rewards such as weapons, mods, cosmetics, and even exclusive Warframes.
Syndicates also have alliances and rivalries with each other, meaning that gaining a reputation with one syndicate may affect the player’s standing with others. Players can manage their relationships with syndicates by choosing which ones to support and which ones to oppose, depending on the rewards and items they desire.
Best Ostron Syndicate Farm
Increasing your Ostron standing can grant you access to components for operator amps, which enhance your Operator’s combat abilities, as well as components for modular melee weapons called Zaws, which can be customized for different stats and abilities.
You can also obtain powerful enhancements known as Arcanes, which can be placed on your Warframe or Operator to provide various bonuses. Additionally, you can acquire different species of fish and mining resources that can be traded for standing or used in crafting.
Steps to efficiently farm Ostron Standing:
- Acquire the Tranq Rifle from The Business in Fortuna or Son in the Necralisk for 500 Solaris United or Entrati standing respectively.
- Travel to Cetus and open the gear menu to equip both your Archwing and the Tranq Rifle.
- Move around the Plains of Eidolon, zoomed in, and wait for a ping indicating that animals have been spotted.
- Once you receive the ping, head to the area indicated and locate the animals. Approach them carefully to avoid startling them.
- Use the Tranq Rifle to fire tranquilizers at the animals. Aim carefully and try to hit them accurately to maximize your standing gain.
- The cleaner your aim and the faster you tranquilize the animals, the more standing you will earn.
- With efficient and accurate tranquilizing, you can maximize your standing in approximately 20 minutes.
Best Farm For The Quills
Raising your standing with the Quills can reward you with specialized Arcanes focused on Operator abilities, advanced components for operator amps offering more powerful abilities and effects, and Focus Lenses that can be installed on your equipment to convert excess affinity into Focus points for your Operator’s abilities.
Moreover, you can also obtain Eidolon Shards used in crafting and upgrading operator amps, as well as Sentient Cores used in the same manner. You’re going to need a lot of these because although the 177 is regarded as the Best Amp in the game, you might prefer the 777 or 737.
Steps to easily farm standing for The Quills:
- Equip your the best loadout for your Warframe, Operator, and weapons for fighting Eidolons.
- I recommend Volt if you want to speedrun and get it done as fast as possible. Otherwise, use Revenant or Rhino if you don’t want to keep dying.
- You can go directly to the Plains of Eidolon to start the hunt. However, it may be a better idea to look for a dedicated squad that is kitted for each role so that runs are more enjoyable.
- Eidolons only appear at night on the Plains of Eidolon, so make sure to start your hunt during the nighttime cycle in-game.
- Before engaging the Eidolons, hunt down and capture 3-4 Eidolon Lures as it is almost always better to capture an Eidolon rather than kill it.
- Use your Archwing to locate the Eidolon. I recommend using Itzal as it is the fastest but also has abilities that can improve your quality of life.
- Get the Eidolon Lures to the Eidolon and start charging them by killing Vomalysts until the Shield Icon over the Lures turns blue.
- Use your Operator Mode or Voidrig to burst down the Eidolon’s shields. I recommend using the Madurai School and Void Strike for this part.
- After the shields are down, focus on shooting the Eidolon’s limbs to break them. This exposes the Eidolon’s main body, allowing you to deal direct damage.
- I recommend using a well-modded Zenith but old options like the Redeemer Prime and Rubico Prime are also good enough.
- After breaking each Limb, the Eidolon will drop plenty of Sentinet Cores that you can turn into Standing.
- Coordinate with your squad during each phase of the fight and ensure you aren’t doing damage when you aren’t supposed to. Moreover, if you have less than 2-3 charged Eidolon Lures the capture will fail.
- After defeating one Eidolon, repeat the process to hunt down and defeat more Eidolons during the nighttime cycle to gather more Sentient Cores.
- After defeating the Eidolons, collect your rewards, including Sentient Cores, Brilliant Eidolon Shards, and other valuable resources dropped by the Eidolons.
- Consider using resource boosters to increase the number of Sentient Cores you receive from each Eidolon hunt.
My Tips
There isn’t much complexity when it comes to these methods but there are some things you can do to improve your quality of life.
- Use a Warframe that can go invisible like Loki when capturing animals on Cetus. Otherwise, a surprise Ogris shot may knock you out.
- As mentioned before, use Resource Boosters and Resource Drop Chance Boosters to get the most out of your Eidolon Hunts.
- If you have a bad setup for Eidolon Hunts, simply ask in chat for a taxi. There are plenty of long-time veterans more than willing to help out a fellow player.
