Another tip for the arena farm is to have a nidus with max range and minimal duration cast his 2 in the middle of the map to pull the enemies into Khora’s strangledome(Khora should be modded for minimum range). Have the nekros be the main dps with ripkas and the amalgam ripkas true steel mod, which adds +100% gore chance (same effect as slash that he talked about) this is the optimal setup and I find you usually get about 3.5k endo per run, and can clear each run in about 2 minutes.
@@xNemoware I forgot to mention that this is done with a booster, and on steel path. Besides that, I’m not exactly sure what the different would be. I’ve always run with a group when nidus just spams 2, and khora and the fourth frame (usually a second nekros) prime the enemies with a nukor for condition overload procs. The nekros with ripkas kills ALL enemies. Also make sure that nidus’s 2 drops off and the enemies get attached to khora’s dome to proc the extra chance. If they are killed while in nidus’s 2, khora’s dome will not attach I don’t believe.

From my averages I see around 2.7-3k while some go to 3600. meaning under a decent squad at 3 minutes then thats 54k which makes sense seeing as in 2 hours I would get between 110k-130k depending on RNG

Railjack is very underrated for these things, each has a wider volume of rewards than a normal mission and you can get away with loot that normally requires 4 different missions, if only it wasnt so hostile towards new players.

@Data thats a valid point as well, also you rarely only need the endo, 90% of the time you need something else that can be farmed simultaneously, so why not be more efficient and do the thing that gives you both or even 3-4 thing at the same time depending on your needs Also IMO fun is also important factor, I'd rather farm it slowly in arbitrations or bounties but have fun doing it than repeatign arena 50 times (arena is also fun but gets boring much quicker than arbitrations especially if you use meta set up and dont ekxperiment like you can in arbutrations)
Had a squad doing Veil Relic spam couple of years ago averaging a mission time of 4:30 for that Grineer mission. I think in total we got about 40 Void Keys and ~30k endo from drops. Was hella fun.
granium void can be good place too... the mission where you normally go to get sisters to spawn that drops the zenith crown that you need to get in in same mission... when trying to get "correct" sister to spawn you quite usually get 600 or so endo from said mission with little bit of rep if you release the poor souls there.
In my experience, the greatest majority of your end expenses is always in the mods that go up to rank 10. And of those ranks most of it is in the last two ranks. But unless you really want to push things to their upper limit, stopping at rank 8/10 is just fine for most mods and then you can just slowly take your time to let your endo naturally build up and occasionally you can pump a mod you really like all the way to that max.
For Vodyanoi the idealish set up is as follows Nekros - Loot build Khora - Loot Build Nidus - Larva Burst Wild Card - Utility/Damage. ( I Like greedy pull mag with quiver) Make sure someone takes quiver for invis and someone has armor strip. Only equip melee. This way only endo drops. Damage dealer needs Ripkas with the augment for nekros. Mod drop chance boost.
The best nekros setup would need the ripkas with their augment mod on. I've tested it enough and even if you use a non ips weapon to kill enemies, you'll always see them getting dismembered, increasing the amount of lootable bodies (body oarts are considered separate bodies for some reason and nekros' desecrate apply on them)
@@SmoothTurtle840 i haven't done a farm in a like few weeks but running nekros in the kuva survival gave me enough stuff to think he's not bugged or broken
I have 700 Ayatan treasures on my ship, I have Orta Vaya and the Octopus the Deimos and Arbitrations The other ones I sell them because they are ugly, I calculated I have at least 1'600,000 endo in the ayatan treasures I have, but I like them as decorations : )
for the vodyanoi farm, i recommend going to yam instead (same endo drop, without power duration modifier), and go with a khora with low range, combined with a nidus max range and two nekros with guandao. With that, and more precise details, i'm reaching easily over 100k per hour with a good team
The last couple of months I've been buying Ayatan Kitha Sculptures from Loid. I have so many Orokin Matrices from grinding for rep and Voidrig/weapons that I just head that way on login and turn my matrices in. I have about 90k worth of endo in just these Ayatan sculptures now. Should be able to buy between 3 to 5 sculptures per week depending on your level.
If you have lots of spare Requiem Relics, I would recommend running Tier 5 Fissures in public squads, and picking any Requiem Mods that show up. At 3 charges, they dissolve for 1000 Endo.
Your videos are so good that they're effectively a double edged sword: they're actually doing a disservice to us by giving DE an excuse to not have this information clearly available in game.
What about a steel path Survival farm? I have gathered so many mods this way while I am farming for steel essence that all I needed to do needing endo in a pinch was to just dissolve a couple thousand mods for endo. Arbis and Golden Instincts seems like good farms but I have done them so much that I have over 100+ sculptures yet not enough stars to fill in those sculptures to turn in for a decent chunk of endo so it come to a pretty hard stopping point with this method. I even have carrier prime with looter equipped when running normal missions and that still isn't enough to fill out all of my sculptures I have acquired. Another potential outlet for endo you could have evaluated was looking at the trade system and seeing if there is a route where that could net you some decent endo that way such as trading prime parts for plat then trading plat for sculptures/R10 mods then turnings sculptures into endo. This is likely very inefficient but I see so many people attempting it on trade chat.
After ridiculously bad experiences arena farming a friend and I have condensed it very heavily. 1 nekros with max range minimum duration nidus pull. 1 khora loot cage and personally I prefer nidus pull.
wow, didn't know the voidani was THAT good for endo farming! but yeah, I DO still need vitus for the galvanized mods, and stuff...and I apparently underestimated the amount of credits I could burn even at lvl 30 and have very few weapons and stuff to build...I blame rampant purchasing from Baro. ahem...5 pedestal primes, please.
8:40 I don’t remember probability working like that… The 54% desecration rates of both slashed piece are independent of each other. They don’t simply add to 108% because there are two of them. You gain another chance at the extra drop, but the probability of the extra drop doesn’t double.
For an individual case they wouldn't add, but for averages they do. Average extra loot result of a body split in two and each rolling 54% of extra loot is 1*0.46^2*0 + 2*0.46*0.54*1 + 1*0.54^2*2 = 1.08 extra loot items. Just as how the average result of a 6 sided die is 3.5, so the average of 2 rolls is 3.5 + 3.5 = 7.
the arena farm in steel path, doublr nekros and khora with a nidus as well as 1 mod drop booster, i was managing 70k or more with a group of friends, this farm is no joke, albeit we all loaded fast and were force starting our missions aa soon as we were done, instead of vodyanoi we ran yam as the endo was same and yam was safer.
whats a good way to level helmith for golden instinct? just feeding tons of resources to it? and at 5:40 when you're resetting the earth mission you load in significantly faster than I do
Feeding frames and using the invigorations are both very good ways to progress. Feeding resources is less effective generally speaking, with 8 max efficiency feeds needed to equal one warframe consumed. Note that feeding xp is tied to how much the stat goes up, not the number of feeds. Inefficient feeds will give lower xp for the same resource cost, so don't spam feed.
the best Railjack endo farm for me is Nsu Grid or Calabash, i switch between the two if one has a sentient anomaly. if you have a credit booster not only will you get plenty of credits you will also get a lot of endo and relics in both missions because of the point of interests, and if you are fast enough you can break the enemies supply boxes and open their lockers, all of which guarantee a drop of 15 endo which doesnt sound much on paper (not recommended to open lockers or supply boxes that are far away from the objectives) but can still be helpful if you want that extra endo
Railjack is the best... it frequently drops stuff and credits but if u hate railjack to the core go to deimos... it is fun specially if u are farming reputation there to get the arguably the top primary in raw power and one of the top 5 secondary weapons of the game... trumna and sepulcrum
I'm returning after a long time away and it's so funny, every time I look up a new farm (currently figuring out the best path to the New War) it always cones back to deimos. Guess it's time to get down with the sickness
I may be the only doing railjack for endo. Sover strait can be done within 1m. I usually get 3-5 mods, 100 endo or mkl ship part worth 75endo. Complete solo with RJ crew on guns. I dont have to move just jump into front gun and bust 2 crewships and done. Rerun sover directly infront of me the jump back on gun. Or run higher missions for ship parts mkll(120endo i think) & lll (225 endo)..... also ALL crewships and asteroids you enter have 15 endo in EVERY container/locker thing.
The arena farm, if you have it fully maximized can get more than 40,000 an hour, i was running it on Yam and i got 70,000 in a hour. Also Yam seems to be better for it than vodinoy, but I'm not entirely sure, I haven't been able to get another fully optimized squad on vodinoy yet
Nr one spot is taken by the zariman bounty T4 ext within 5 min IMO (in solo or duo) or even pubs this is great. As long as noone goes plume hunting (bleh) or no void angel is being fought after the main obj.
@TheKengineer One year update regarding the suggested methods :) 1. Deimos Bounties... the main issue with them is that the NPC problems have still not been resolved, so if you get the "protect and compete with the Grineer" part it's more than likely they will either somehow die or miraculously outperform your dps (even if you have a Voidrig nuking the whole area with half a million damage per hit, don't ask me how the hell do Grineer grunts manage to outperform this because they just don't give a fuck and do it). Also as of recently, ANY AND ALL missions where you have to protect any form of NPCs have them suddenly implode and die even from full health every now and then, making them nearly unplayable. Yes, even the ones with Operatives who can be revived once they're downed... they just flatout implode and the mission instafails. 2. Narmer Bounties are a decent pick, since Narmer Isoplast is needed anyways for crafting, not to mention that Voidrig turns this into easy mode even with the most basic mods applied . Turning the Isoplast in for reputation really isn't recommended since there are better and easier ways to earn it. 3. Arbitrations are unreliable for sustained Endo farming simply due to the fact their rewards aren't always provided in Endo and Sculptures. Compared to the earlier days the droptable has expanded quite a bit and the main reason for grinding Arbitration is (still) for Vitus Essence. Not to mention the recent bug with the NPCs in the 1st paragraph. Nowadays when you see the Operative in Arbitration, you should bail on it the first chance you get. 4. Railjack is the all around best pick if you want to farm pretty much everything at once. Leveling all of the gear you don't like or want to use, farming resources for crafting and Helminth, farming equipment for the Railjack itself with quite a decent haul of Credits and Endo along the way. Yes FLEXA is the best and the fastest mission but you need to follow a strict procedure, use Harrow first to abuse the missiles and clear the fighters fast, bombard the crewships, get your first player onto the Galleon to kill the captain while the rest tackle the station. An optimized team can bruteforce their way through this mission in 3 minutes flat and it's goddamn glorious when you end up in such a team. The other mandatory map to run is KALABASH, to farm the Corpus fighters that drop undenilably the best turrets for Railjack. To adress the elephant in the room: Railjack is still somewhat buggy but nowhere near as it was a year ago, much of its bugs have been resolved prior to the Duviri Paradox release and there are only one or two gamebreaking bugs left (which is why nobody plays Volatile or Orphix missions where they occur). 5. Golden Instinct startegy is just plain dumb compared to all the options provided above, it feels like the same forced, narrow-minded grind we have to put up with when acquiring Kavat Genetic Codes. For some players the Golden Instinct ability runs well, while for others like myself it's unreliable as all hell and just has you running in circles. Personally I just accepted the fact it does not work and moved on from it. Besides, the SCAN ability you get from the Parallax on Zariman flatout reveals all pickups and scanable items in range and has a 5 minute cooldown, so you just pop it off at the start of any mission and pop it off again when it gets off cooldown, so if there is a sculpture around the scan will reveal it. Why would you bother grinding for sculptures when you can just pop scans as you regularly play and pick them up along the way, and if play along with a friend you can coordinate your scans so you get to scan the map every 2 and a half minutes. 6. The Arena Endo farming is actually a funny thing. Steel Path requirement for best drops... ultrahigh gear requirement... ultrahigh skill ceiling... by the time you get everything set and optimized to run this you pretty much have everything maxed out, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED TO GRIND ENDO?! Not to mention that all the requirements to run Arena are the same requirements you need to end up with Alphagemer douchebags who will bitch and whine at you for ruining their average or calling you out... and I quote: "a crybaby noobfaggot" the moment you bail on the mission early. Yes the Warframe community is one of the friendliest communities around, but every now and then a spoilsport of a tampertantrum rears its ugly head out of the gutter.
sounds like a skill issue on the arena endo farm, i ran for the first time the other day and never got bitched out despite messing up a couple times. they were in fact quite helpful. maybe don't be trash lmao
also the “if you can do arena why do you need endo” as if you need every mod maxed to even do the arena missions. like,, you can do the mission and still need endo to max primed mods
best endo arena farm atm :nekros with a larva he will dps , nekros with invis arrow ,khora with unairu and protea dispensary , nidus max range with larva burst augment for recast . fast rounds avg 2.15 minutes per run . faster having 2 larva rather than wisp (khora doesn t dps , other members can) and i suggest glaive prime or any sword moded for crit for that matter , no elementals only crit , in worst case scenario toxin is okay , and don t worry about nidus's larva burst spoonfull of toxin , won t affect endo drops . i prefer things to be faster rather than sit 3-4 minutes maximizin every drop , some modifiers are better than others like reinforcements will spawn more executioners . also you are supposed to run Yam on steelpath , not vodyanoi . vodyanoi was the spot back in the day when we didn t have steelpath or any open worlds
Using Kronen prime might be bad, as it forces a ton of slash procs which do not cut up the bodies, as you need direct hits on the body to kill the enemy for them to be cut up.
I rewatched this video to see how much those farms can net you. I'm happy to report that after 10 tier 4 exterminate missions in the zariman I got 21K ENDO with an average of about 2:40 min per run with the fastest being 2 min. it is possible to do 30 missions like that with only half of them giving endo at a minimum per hour of 45K endo, even if only 10 of those missions gave endo the minimum per hour is 30K. All solo, but you do need a mission with a good secondary objective. I did it with the "complete the mission under 6 min"
The drop rate of endo from those missions is not half though. You got lucky. At 2:40 per run, with an 11.36% chance of 3000 endo and 9.74% chance of 4000 endo, the expected rate from bounty drops is 16.4k/hour.
Y’know, I wish to have that many Ayatan sculptures to just pile them up all over the floor of my personal quarters… That being said, I could trade plat for sculptures, but that’s besides the point
i did run some tests on Endo farming on arenas a while back around 3 months ago with clan mates so the results may vat it is possible to get around 1.9k min endo on arenas as a really bad run and upwards of 3.6-4k per run with a 2 minute time frame it is more than possible to get upwards of 100k per hour keep in mind that we went for the most ideal builds and WF combos from slash to khora to nekros to the booster
Just do the OG arena method with a mod drop chance booster (which stacks multiplicatively w/ hidden booster that SP gives). It gains 10k/3min or 5k/3min without the booster.
@@jlohry best in full squad on SP Yaw (same map as the last tier arena in non-SP, but without annoying modifiers. 1 Larva Nidus, 2 Desecrate Nekros & 1 DPS Khora. Everyone is built for raw tanking. You can camp in the middle building. 1 Ripkas w amalgam mod is useful for guaranteed splits of bodies. Other than that kill w anything that doesn't destroy bodyparts (heat proc etc.) Kohm is also useful as it splits bodies in 4 pieces. The method has survived for years and still is imo overshadowing the rest, especially when you have a mod-drop chance booster (from Baro or Sortie).
@@medalliondnb gotcha, figured the group method was what you were suggesting. I have run it solo and only manage around 1K on average with a booster. Thanks for the info! And, I didn’t realize SP didn’t have the modifiers, lol. Gonna have to look for a group!
Hey hey :D thanks for all your amazing videos! One question: Can you make a video, on how primary and secondary weapon damage is calculated when you add primary/secondary arcanes? Because I read several times, when you add e.g. primary merciless, that you can drop a damage mod on your gun because they don't add or as there is a kind of cap where it's not recommended to just add raw damage. If this video already exists, please let me know and I apologize for the request :)
9:28 ahem depending on what u di with that endo u can get 100->400 plat per hour doing this. Ashame that getting a group is hard af and takes a really long time only for 1 to leave after like an hour of farming =/
I simply feel like Arbitrations and lvl 5 Deimos bounties are my best ways since i don't depend on a specific party and i still have fun with them, it might take longer but i realized that when you already have all that you need, then the game gets boring, in a game where farming is key, when you have nothing to farm for, you have no reason to play
Was the ability to dismantle railjack blueprints taken into account for the railjack endo rates? You get a good chunk of endo from them and it stacks up when you no longer need or want them.
i thought they nerfed nekros recently so that dismembered limbs still only counted as part of the original body, meaning slash tricks for nekros loot is moot
They changed it so multiple Nekros can't desecrate the same body twice. So as a random example, you can only get three mod drops from a silver grove specter if you use Hydroid and Nekros in the same team, but not 4-5 with three Nekros. It's still a good idea to use multiple Nekros however, if the 54% chance to desecrate fails, you can try again with another Nekros. The easiest way to check if splitting bodies still works for desecrate, is to go to excav and split the power cell carriers, it might take you a couple of tries, but you should be able to make a single carrier drop 3 cells.
You can still use non-direct damage to get the kill, as if the body splits in half (from body-shot, DoT, or explosion or the like), it counts as 2 corpses. It's only limbs and head tha tdon't count as full body parts.
They did, but then they put it back in with a reduction. It applies to major body parts (torso, which can be split for two eligible parts) but not to minor body parts (limbs, fragments etc).
Deimos vault runs are good too. Running nekros solo without doing the bonus objective for me was about 13,500 endo/hour and benefits from boosters. But daily standing limits you to less than a sculpture a day even at max mr
I remember back in my day your best bet for big drops of endo was your daily sortie and even if you got that it was only 4k. All these zoomers get a billion ways to get juicy amounts of endo
I want to add majority arent mentally sustainable youll hit a boredom wall. With arbitration its the only one that you can switch out warframes and have less chance of burnout and for the amount of endo needed I think that should be considered.
So for the 1st time ever since 2015 I actually sat down yesterday and trashed dup mods for endo....400k and I'm not even done.. I don't know why I have never done this lol
For the Golden instinct strategy, i personally like to run the easy void capture mission, because when a reinforced or rare crate spawns as a orokin crate it drops a forma which is in my opinion way more worth then detonit injectors or Fieldron.

If you do extermination missions on the zariman. You could get anywhere from 1k-6k endo per mission. Which can be done in as little as 6 minutes
Railjack also gives lots of credits, relics, and sometimes rare nodes appear with bonus drops.
For Vodyanoi the idealish set up is as follows
Nekros - Loot build
Khora - Loot Build
Nidus - Larva Burst
Wild Card - Utility/Damage. ( I Like greedy pull mag with quiver)
Make sure someone takes quiver for invis and someone has armor strip.
Only equip melee. This way only endo drops.
Damage dealer needs Ripkas with the augment for nekros.
Mod drop chance boost.
The best nekros setup would need the ripkas with their augment mod on. I've tested it enough and even if you use a non ips weapon to kill enemies, you'll always see them getting dismembered, increasing the amount of lootable bodies (body oarts are considered separate bodies for some reason and nekros' desecrate apply on them)
I heard somewhere recently that desecrate hasn’t worked on gore for a while now. Did they revert that change or what?
@@SmoothTurtle840 i haven't done a farm in a like few weeks but running nekros in the kuva survival gave me enough stuff to think he's not bugged or broken
@@SmoothTurtle840 it has been patched 100% . Nekros has been able to desecrate only 1 body per body for some time.
did it a few weeks ago with sp, mod booster, 2nek 1 kh 1 nid setup with 2 guandao crouch hold E method, was getting 70k per hour, i think it works
I have 700 Ayatan treasures on my ship, I have Orta Vaya and the Octopus the Deimos and Arbitrations
The other ones I sell them because they are ugly, I calculated I have at least 1'600,000 endo in the ayatan treasures I have, but I like them as decorations : )
you monster
for the vodyanoi farm, i recommend going to yam instead (same endo drop, without power duration modifier), and go with a khora with low range, combined with a nidus max range and two nekros with guandao. With that, and more precise details, i'm reaching easily over 100k per hour with a good team
The last couple of months I've been buying Ayatan Kitha Sculptures from Loid. I have so many Orokin Matrices from grinding for rep and Voidrig/weapons that I just head that way on login and turn my matrices in. I have about 90k worth of endo in just these Ayatan sculptures now. Should be able to buy between 3 to 5 sculptures per week depending on your level.
Good video just I'd also say heracon on Pluto is a great farm. Getting a chance at 4k endo on the first two rotations, and needing one drill each
I'm go going to try the deimos bounties. Thank you so much.
DE has NAILED the formula for the eternal grind.
If you have lots of spare Requiem Relics, I would recommend running Tier 5 Fissures in public squads, and picking any Requiem Mods that show up. At 3 charges, they dissolve for 1000 Endo.
Your videos are so good that they're effectively a double edged sword: they're actually doing a disservice to us by giving DE an excuse to not have this information clearly available in game.
What about a steel path Survival farm? I have gathered so many mods this way while I am farming for steel essence that all I needed to do needing endo in a pinch was to just dissolve a couple thousand mods for endo.
Arbis and Golden Instincts seems like good farms but I have done them so much that I have over 100+ sculptures yet not enough stars to fill in those sculptures to turn in for a decent chunk of endo so it come to a pretty hard stopping point with this method. I even have carrier prime with looter equipped when running normal missions and that still isn't enough to fill out all of my sculptures I have acquired.
Another potential outlet for endo you could have evaluated was looking at the trade system and seeing if there is a route where that could net you some decent endo that way such as trading prime parts for plat then trading plat for sculptures/R10 mods then turnings sculptures into endo. This is likely very inefficient but I see so many people attempting it on trade chat.
After ridiculously bad experiences arena farming a friend and I have condensed it very heavily.
1 nekros with max range minimum duration nidus pull.
1 khora loot cage and personally I prefer nidus pull.
wow, didn't know the voidani was THAT good for endo farming! but yeah, I DO still need vitus for the galvanized mods, and stuff...and I apparently underestimated the amount of credits I could burn even at lvl 30 and have very few weapons and stuff to build...I blame rampant purchasing from Baro. ahem...5 pedestal primes, please.
Umbra Pedestals 😍
@@anotheruser1130 yeah, them too.
8:40 I don’t remember probability working like that…
The 54% desecration rates of both slashed piece are independent of each other. They don’t simply add to 108% because there are two of them.
You gain another chance at the extra drop, but the probability of the extra drop doesn’t double.
For an individual case they wouldn't add, but for averages they do. Average extra loot result of a body split in two and each rolling 54% of extra loot is 1*0.46^2*0 + 2*0.46*0.54*1 + 1*0.54^2*2 = 1.08 extra loot items. Just as how the average result of a 6 sided die is 3.5, so the average of 2 rolls is 3.5 + 3.5 = 7.
@@TheKengineer aaah okay okay. Thanks for the reply & example. Great channel btw! (Kinda binging em rn 😅)
You should check this again with the addition of the zariman bounties
the arena farm in steel path, doublr nekros and khora with a nidus as well as 1 mod drop booster, i was managing 70k or more with a group of friends, this farm is no joke, albeit we all loaded fast and were force starting our missions aa soon as we were done, instead of vodyanoi we ran yam as the endo was same and yam was safer.
whats a good way to level helmith for golden instinct? just feeding tons of resources to it?
and at 5:40 when you're resetting the earth mission you load in significantly faster than I do
Feeding frames and using the invigorations are both very good ways to progress. Feeding resources is less effective generally speaking, with 8 max efficiency feeds needed to equal one warframe consumed.
Note that feeding xp is tied to how much the stat goes up, not the number of feeds. Inefficient feeds will give lower xp for the same resource cost, so don't spam feed.
the best Railjack endo farm for me is Nsu Grid or Calabash, i switch between the two if one has a sentient anomaly. if you have a credit booster not only will you get plenty of credits you will also get a lot of endo and relics in both missions because of the point of interests, and if you are fast enough you can break the enemies supply boxes and open their lockers, all of which guarantee a drop of 15 endo which doesnt sound much on paper (not recommended to open lockers or supply boxes that are far away from the objectives) but can still be helpful if you want that extra endo
Railjack is the best... it frequently drops stuff and credits but if u hate railjack to the core go to deimos... it is fun specially if u are farming reputation there to get the arguably the top primary in raw power and one of the top 5 secondary weapons of the game... trumna and sepulcrum
I'm returning after a long time away and it's so funny, every time I look up a new farm (currently figuring out the best path to the New War) it always cones back to deimos. Guess it's time to get down with the sickness
All of these methods are great
after watching this I’ve not ran into the problem of “where can I get more endo”
I may be the only doing railjack for endo.
Sover strait can be done within 1m. I usually get 3-5 mods, 100 endo or mkl ship part worth 75endo. Complete solo with RJ crew on guns. I dont have to move just jump into front gun and bust 2 crewships and done. Rerun sover directly infront of me the jump back on gun. Or run higher missions for ship parts mkll(120endo i think) & lll (225 endo)..... also ALL crewships and asteroids you enter have 15 endo in EVERY container/locker thing.
The arena farm, if you have it fully maximized can get more than 40,000 an hour, i was running it on Yam and i got 70,000 in a hour. Also Yam seems to be better for it than vodinoy, but I'm not entirely sure, I haven't been able to get another fully optimized squad on vodinoy yet
Great video! Why do you pick Limbo for your looting runs? And which ability do you replace with golden instinct?
Nr one spot is taken by the zariman bounty T4 ext within 5 min IMO (in solo or duo) or even pubs this is great.
As long as noone goes plume hunting (bleh) or no void angel is being fought after the main obj.
@TheKengineer
One year update regarding the suggested methods :)
1. Deimos Bounties... the main issue with them is that the NPC problems have still not been resolved, so if you get the "protect and compete with the Grineer" part it's more than likely they will either somehow die or miraculously outperform your dps (even if you have a Voidrig nuking the whole area with half a million damage per hit, don't ask me how the hell do Grineer grunts manage to outperform this because they just don't give a fuck and do it). Also as of recently, ANY AND ALL missions where you have to protect any form of NPCs have them suddenly implode and die even from full health every now and then, making them nearly unplayable. Yes, even the ones with Operatives who can be revived once they're downed... they just flatout implode and the mission instafails.
2. Narmer Bounties are a decent pick, since Narmer Isoplast is needed anyways for crafting, not to mention that Voidrig turns this into easy mode even with the most basic mods applied . Turning the Isoplast in for reputation really isn't recommended since there are better and easier ways to earn it.
3. Arbitrations are unreliable for sustained Endo farming simply due to the fact their rewards aren't always provided in Endo and Sculptures. Compared to the earlier days the droptable has expanded quite a bit and the main reason for grinding Arbitration is (still) for Vitus Essence. Not to mention the recent bug with the NPCs in the 1st paragraph. Nowadays when you see the Operative in Arbitration, you should bail on it the first chance you get.
4. Railjack is the all around best pick if you want to farm pretty much everything at once. Leveling all of the gear you don't like or want to use, farming resources for crafting and Helminth, farming equipment for the Railjack itself with quite a decent haul of Credits and Endo along the way. Yes FLEXA is the best and the fastest mission but you need to follow a strict procedure, use Harrow first to abuse the missiles and clear the fighters fast, bombard the crewships, get your first player onto the Galleon to kill the captain while the rest tackle the station. An optimized team can bruteforce their way through this mission in 3 minutes flat and it's goddamn glorious when you end up in such a team. The other mandatory map to run is KALABASH, to farm the Corpus fighters that drop undenilably the best turrets for Railjack. To adress the elephant in the room: Railjack is still somewhat buggy but nowhere near as it was a year ago, much of its bugs have been resolved prior to the Duviri Paradox release and there are only one or two gamebreaking bugs left (which is why nobody plays Volatile or Orphix missions where they occur).
5. Golden Instinct startegy is just plain dumb compared to all the options provided above, it feels like the same forced, narrow-minded grind we have to put up with when acquiring Kavat Genetic Codes. For some players the Golden Instinct ability runs well, while for others like myself it's unreliable as all hell and just has you running in circles. Personally I just accepted the fact it does not work and moved on from it. Besides, the SCAN ability you get from the Parallax on Zariman flatout reveals all pickups and scanable items in range and has a 5 minute cooldown, so you just pop it off at the start of any mission and pop it off again when it gets off cooldown, so if there is a sculpture around the scan will reveal it. Why would you bother grinding for sculptures when you can just pop scans as you regularly play and pick them up along the way, and if play along with a friend you can coordinate your scans so you get to scan the map every 2 and a half minutes.
6. The Arena Endo farming is actually a funny thing. Steel Path requirement for best drops... ultrahigh gear requirement... ultrahigh skill ceiling... by the time you get everything set and optimized to run this you pretty much have everything maxed out, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED TO GRIND ENDO?! Not to mention that all the requirements to run Arena are the same requirements you need to end up with Alphagemer douchebags who will bitch and whine at you for ruining their average or calling you out... and I quote: "a crybaby noobfaggot" the moment you bail on the mission early. Yes the Warframe community is one of the friendliest communities around, but every now and then a spoilsport of a tampertantrum rears its ugly head out of the gutter.
sounds like a skill issue on the arena endo farm, i ran for the first time the other day and never got bitched out despite messing up a couple times. they were in fact quite helpful. maybe don't be trash lmao
also the “if you can do arena why do you need endo” as if you need every mod maxed to even do the arena missions. like,, you can do the mission and still need endo to max primed mods
My favourite is building a shrine for the MIGHTY SEER and then asking it for endo
best endo arena farm atm :nekros with a larva he will dps , nekros with invis arrow ,khora with unairu and protea dispensary , nidus max range with larva burst augment for recast . fast rounds avg 2.15 minutes per run . faster having 2 larva rather than wisp (khora doesn t dps , other members can) and i suggest glaive prime or any sword moded for crit for that matter , no elementals only crit , in worst case scenario toxin is okay , and don t worry about nidus's larva burst spoonfull of toxin , won t affect endo drops . i prefer things to be faster rather than sit 3-4 minutes maximizin every drop , some modifiers are better than others like reinforcements will spawn more executioners . also you are supposed to run Yam on steelpath , not vodyanoi . vodyanoi was the spot back in the day when we didn t have steelpath or any open worlds
Imma use this if that's fine by you my good sir keep up the good work love your vids lol
Using Kronen prime might be bad, as it forces a ton of slash procs which do not cut up the bodies, as you need direct hits on the body to kill the enemy for them to be cut up.
guandao prime, forgot stance, crouch and hold E, thats the real strat. dont stand too close or ull start doing finishers which is bad.
I rewatched this video to see how much those farms can net you. I'm happy to report that after 10 tier 4 exterminate missions in the zariman I got 21K ENDO with an average of about 2:40 min per run with the fastest being 2 min. it is possible to do 30 missions like that with only half of them giving endo at a minimum per hour of 45K endo, even if only 10 of those missions gave endo the minimum per hour is 30K. All solo, but you do need a mission with a good secondary objective. I did it with the "complete the mission under 6 min"
The drop rate of endo from those missions is not half though. You got lucky. At 2:40 per run, with an 11.36% chance of 3000 endo and 9.74% chance of 4000 endo, the expected rate from bounty drops is 16.4k/hour.
I do Zariman Tier 5 bounties, you can get up to 3000-4000 endo per bounty
Yay I got in a video! Thx
Another great informative video
Y’know, I wish to have that many Ayatan sculptures to just pile them up all over the floor of my personal quarters…
That being said, I could trade plat for sculptures, but that’s besides the point
i did run some tests on Endo farming on arenas a while back around 3 months ago with clan mates so the results may vat
it is possible to get around 1.9k min endo on arenas as a really bad run and upwards of 3.6-4k per run with a 2 minute time frame
it is more than possible to get upwards of 100k per hour keep in mind that we went for the most ideal builds and WF combos from slash to khora to nekros to the booster
yea woth my scuffed runs with friends i was getting 70k an hour.
congrats on 5M total views on the channel
Has anyone done the math on how much endo you can get from running index for the mods they drop?
I have a lot of endos but lack credits to upgrade all of those faction mods.
Just do the OG arena method with a mod drop chance booster (which stacks multiplicatively w/ hidden booster that SP gives). It gains 10k/3min or 5k/3min without the booster.
What load out are you running for this?
@@jlohry best in full squad on SP Yaw (same map as the last tier arena in non-SP, but without annoying modifiers. 1 Larva Nidus, 2 Desecrate Nekros & 1 DPS Khora. Everyone is built for raw tanking. You can camp in the middle building. 1 Ripkas w amalgam mod is useful for guaranteed splits of bodies. Other than that kill w anything that doesn't destroy bodyparts (heat proc etc.) Kohm is also useful as it splits bodies in 4 pieces. The method has survived for years and still is imo overshadowing the rest, especially when you have a mod-drop chance booster (from Baro or Sortie).
@@medalliondnb gotcha, figured the group method was what you were suggesting. I have run it solo and only manage around 1K on average with a booster. Thanks for the info! And, I didn’t realize SP didn’t have the modifiers, lol. Gonna have to look for a group!
@@jlohry Yw. SP has the modifiers still, but the 2nd tier arena has less annoying ones while using the same tileset ^^.
@@medalliondnb ahh, gotcha, completed looked over you mentioned Yaw!
Hey hey :D thanks for all your amazing videos!
One question: Can you make a video, on how primary and secondary weapon damage is calculated when you add primary/secondary arcanes? Because I read several times, when you add e.g. primary merciless, that you can drop a damage mod on your gun because they don't add or as there is a kind of cap where it's not recommended to just add raw damage. If this video already exists, please let me know and I apologize for the request :)
You'll want to check out this video on damage calculation (arcanes are additive to other pure damage mods) ruclips.net/video/N3n89cZpVTg/видео.html
@@TheKengineer Thank you, must have missed this video :D
Nice video, and have a good day
9:28 ahem depending on what u di with that endo u can get 100->400 plat per hour doing this. Ashame that getting a group is hard af and takes a really long time only for 1 to leave after like an hour of farming =/
I never knew we can slingshot till now at 4:00
I simply feel like Arbitrations and lvl 5 Deimos bounties are my best ways since i don't depend on a specific party and i still have fun with them, it might take longer but i realized that when you already have all that you need, then the game gets boring, in a game where farming is key, when you have nothing to farm for, you have no reason to play
Me and my bestie run Veil Prox every day for a bit. Gets us Corrupted Holokeys and so, so much junk to melt into endo.
If i play arbitrations for half an hour i get about 2k endo, maybe 2.5k.
Idk the reason why, but team with 2neks yields alot more endos than 1nek.
Thanks for this video.
You coud have wait until the new update, the endo the new missions give is insane.
me, with half a million endo and a monster stack of ayatans, watching this video anyway
dose the slash necros thing work ATM? though they changed there minds on it again
you make good videos
I also dissolve my duplicate mods (at this point thousands) and get a lot for literally free.
I'm curious if higher level missions reward with higher tier sculptures or if it even matters.
Could you rate the Tenet melees next?
Love you’re vids
The best Endo farm is probably saving up actual money, buying regal aya, then snagging one of those dual prime resurgence packages honestly lol
please compare Vodyanoi to Yam? which I have found to be faster/more endo
For Nekros didn't DE remove cutting body parts with slash weapons givin additional loot cause i swaer they removed that a few years ago
They did, it got partially reversed. A cut up torso can be looted two times (max), but smaller parts like limbs and fragments do not count.
I find Ayatan pretty affective. When I was a noob I kept collecting them, went back to ayatan, ended up with 20k endo. Lol
Video on eximus changes coming when?
Thx for the video
Raw math data on Patreon, huh? You drive a hard bargain for a math nerd like me 👀
Was the ability to dismantle railjack blueprints taken into account for the railjack endo rates? You get a good chunk of endo from them and it stacks up when you no longer need or want them.
4:32
Zariman bounties is where it's at
i thought they nerfed nekros recently so that dismembered limbs still only counted as part of the original body, meaning slash tricks for nekros loot is moot
They changed it so multiple Nekros can't desecrate the same body twice. So as a random example, you can only get three mod drops from a silver grove specter if you use Hydroid and Nekros in the same team, but not 4-5 with three Nekros.
It's still a good idea to use multiple Nekros however, if the 54% chance to desecrate fails, you can try again with another Nekros.
The easiest way to check if splitting bodies still works for desecrate, is to go to excav and split the power cell carriers, it might take you a couple of tries, but you should be able to make a single carrier drop 3 cells.
You can still use non-direct damage to get the kill, as if the body splits in half (from body-shot, DoT, or explosion or the like), it counts as 2 corpses. It's only limbs and head tha tdon't count as full body parts.
Limbs do not count, but a torso can be split into two and count as two bodies for desecrate. Hence the 108% limit (2x54%).
@@TheKengineer thank you so much for the clarification, desperately valued. cheers
@@alexanderchipman9571 nice, makes more sense now, thanks so much. time to dust off my nekros and tigris
I’ve gotten a ton from zariman extermination bounties
i've heard they removed the ability to desecrate multiple body parts for nekros !
They did, but then they put it back in with a reduction. It applies to major body parts (torso, which can be split for two eligible parts) but not to minor body parts (limbs, fragments etc).
@@TheKengineer ah, thank you
De continues to make bad decisions smh
Deimos vault runs are good too. Running nekros solo without doing the bonus objective for me was about 13,500 endo/hour and benefits from boosters. But daily standing limits you to less than a sculpture a day even at max mr
Best warframe youruver
I'm good with endo at 3 million+ and still have like 400 ayatan and don't know what to do with it
Yes I have all my prime/gold mod max too
Isn't Yam better than Vodyanoi?
doing Yam arena SP with good team will likely get you 60k endo per hour
I remember back in my day your best bet for big drops of endo was your daily sortie and even if you got that it was only 4k. All these zoomers get a billion ways to get juicy amounts of endo
Approximately all mods require 40 millions of endo. Things look grim
I want to add majority arent mentally sustainable youll hit a boredom wall. With arbitration its the only one that you can switch out warframes and have less chance of burnout and for the amount of endo needed I think that should be considered.
So for the 1st time ever since 2015 I actually sat down yesterday and trashed dup mods for endo....400k and I'm not even done.. I don't know why I have never done this lol
Am done with endo so I can flex a little I have all mods max rank but 2 primed shred primed sure-footed.
Best weapons for Spectres please
Exacly what i want thx
Who else who sitting on 160k endo n got over a 1000 ayatan fully stocked n triple these numbers of mods u got for emergency,👍👍👍👍👍💯
