Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to work through my remaining MR fodder. I’ve picked a few things off my remaining unmastered list and started trying to acquire them… only problem is these things have proven unexpectedly difficult/annoying to get. So, is there a resource somewhere to allow for quick differentiation based on ease of acquisition?
I’ve got few enough things on the list I could probably fit the set of all weapons I haven’t mastered yet into 3-4 screenshots if that’d help.
Edit: Was asked for the screenshots:
Took a bit more than I thought. While I was at it also took a few of the other things that give MR:
I have Tatsu Prime & Citrine building but otherwise I think the screenshots show a pretty accurate listing of what I still need to put effort into.
A really niche relic farm, some relics for the most recent primes can be found in Profit Taker bounties.
Check Profit Taker Phase 2, 3, and 4 bounty rewards, these missions are fairly short and have a reasonably good drop rates for their respective relics. You can open Nightwave/view lich to skip dialog gated parts of the quest.
Just some rough estimates for times:
Phase 2 ~2min
Phase 3 ~5min
Phase 4 3-5min
For phase 2, any speedrun warframe like Wisp/Nova/Wukong. Bring along a Shade or Huras Kubrow for their stealth ability. Best to play this mission solo, I find the game likes to load me into lobbies after the load screen if I’m playing public.
Phase 3 only requires you to match the Profit Taker’s element, more damage does not speed this up. Use whatever you’re comfortable with.
For phase 4, use Chroma or any tanky warframe with Eclipse/Roar. Knockdown immunity (overguard/passive/ability) is nice but not a requirement. *If you find you aren’t seeing a bounty reward screen, the Profit Taker is taking too much damage from a single shot in one of the archgun phases, try switching to the Imperator/Mausolon.
These missions are mostly just an alternative to playing a mission like Disruption/ESO. The tradeoff is that you don’t really get burner relics but any relics that you do get will be radiant. The other nice part about playing these missions is that you don’t need to deal with waiting for the right rotation for your desired relic to become available.
If you need a weakened version of one of the infested companions, you can use the Tranq Rifle (sleep arrows only temporarily put them to sleep, Tranq Rifle is infinite duration) to put them to sleep and then attract an infested to the area to attack them. I would use Ivara to go invisible once the infested are alerted, If you’re brining a companion for something like enemy radar, it should be a sentinel without a weapon so that it can’t accidently kill the infested before it converts the Predasite/Vulpaphyla to their weakened version. Look up the cycle needed to spawn your desired variant or try your luck with Pheromones.
The last thing is if you can do is work on multiple things at the same time like rank up weapons/companions while collecting relics like in ESO to make things a little less grindy. Passively get relics through spending syndicate standing, or while cracking relics in the void. There’s a chance someone runs a relic you need and this can end up saving you a lot of time. And take breaks whenever you need them, there’s no reason to burn yourself out just to reach some mastery rank.
