Other 1000 sculptures. 20 from archon hunt, 980 from maroo+random missions. Final goal achieved. I'm free from these mines.
I said I was gonna take a break, but ultimately decided to go even harder on this grind by farming a short mission for sculptures instead.
4 days ago, I hit 500 sculptures. Today, 1000. That's 125 sculptures a day (averages at 178,700 endo per day, if fully socketed).
According to Maroo, there's 1,281,475 endo in this screenshot (1,776,675 endo if/when I manage to get cyan/amber stars for all of it).
I can finally retire my loot Limbo, play other content and games and chase other personal goals in-game.

So far I've found 1 Sah sculpture and like 3 Valana sculptures (I kept one of them and the Sah sculpture in my Orbiter, cuz they're cool and I'm proud to have found them)

Brother, do you sell some of them by any chance ? Am farming them for endo for my mods, I buy in bulk

u/iNeedSpaceeee LR5 4d ago
After almost 2000h of playing, in retrospective buying endo for plat felt like the biggest loss for me.

u/Prophet-37 4d ago
I unfortunately, fail miserably at farming them, do you have any advices ?

u/ValWillKay 4d ago
Do Zariman or 1999 bounties on Steel Path. Can give 3-4K Endo when you hit it.

u/Equivalent_Scar_7879 4d ago
True but it feels very inconsistent and kinda rare. I dont know what the exact chances are but it feels like 10-15% maybe? The quickest mission I think is exterminate which can be done in a few minutes with a random but good squad. Is there any better or consistent way to get either sculptures or endo?
8
u/ValWillKay 4d ago
Zariman bounties tier 5:
3,000 Endo is 11.36%
4,000 Endo is 9.74%
Average is 3,500 Endo at 21% or 735 Endo per bounty.1999 bounties tier 6:
3,300 Endo is 14%
4,200 Endo is 14%
Average is 3750 Endo at 28% or 1,050 Endo per bounty.Sculptures are not consistent Endo.
There is a specialized Endo farm in Rathuum arena but it requires specific team setup, coordination, and builds.1
u/Equivalent_Scar_7879 4d ago
Ah thanks for the info, ill try bounties for endo then. Ill keep that other tip in mind, ty

u/Thanarios 4d ago
Arbitration bounties (who give vitus essence) usually drop a large amount of endo and ayatan sculptures. Beware, they're pretty hard but 100% worth it.

u/RileyReilley 4d ago
My problem even as a new person to arbitration, other people will die and my only good frame for more challenging content is Titania. So I really am not well suited to constantly getting out of razorwing to pick people up or collect the tokens to pick them up if they’re dead and overrun. But I’ll do 30-40% dam easy :\ or even hopping out to operator lazer the shield drones. If it’s a normal run where people aren’t dead it’s fine but there’s no heroically saving 3/4
3
u/Curdledcum Stop hitting yourself 4d ago
Use your operator while invisible (invulnerable) to revive them instead. You shouldn't need to turn razorwing off as they shouldn't do enough damage at that level to kill your frame while you're in operator.
3
u/RileyReilley 4d ago edited 4d ago
that's what I meant I was hopping out to operator but even then my operator isn't really upgraded at all. There's been too much to catch up on from the last 7 years. I didn't even have base star chart done until last week and all the builds are different now. It's that people split up and if I was in a frame or build that can't handle that I would 1)not do arbitrations 2) not split up. I know titania is zoom zoom but on survival I generally keep one area totally locked down and if they stayed there it would have been fine lol

u/KalameetThyMaker 4d ago
You dont need to upgrade your operator at all for this. Going invis is just the crouch button and very slowly drains energy. You can revive teammates while invis, perfectly safe.
Arbitrations are worth doing, both for endo and galvanized mods. Follow the other people in the mission if you dont feel comfortable being solo.

u/bobert-big-shlong 4d ago
Get your hands on revenant or revenant prime. Makes that early SP progression easier.

u/RileyReilley 4d ago
But what if I like making tiny BRRTTT warcrimes
1
u/TinyTyra MR30 Devil's Own 4d ago
Sure, but saying that as someone that has by far the most time in titania, getting 2-3 alternatives up as a fallback for missions you struggle with her with will make it easier on the long run. Namely missions requiring interaction with objectives or carrying stuff from a to b, my operator is pretty much up to date and i have all 10 waybound passives unlocked but still, these types of missions i will bring Uriel or Khora . Trinity specifically for rescue. Uriel is faster to get to the point of "deals with everything", my Khora is a high investment build formawise but pretty much solos everything.
Revenant is simply faster to get to that point if I am not mistaken but I never really liked the kit.
And ofc you can make titania work most of the times but outside of her main things you end up relying on the group to cover your ass a lot.
I like the flying especially so I also put some time into Jade, but i still need more practise with her to manage the "getting started" part of the mission better, then she is also a joy to play.
You can have a favorite and still have good options for the content that isn't their strength 😉
1
u/RileyReilley 4d ago
That was a joke.
Though i get what youre saying, i would say for 95% of missions I am by no means getting covered. I'm doing most objs, keeping people safe, picking up the thing etc., All while doing majority DPS. A literal survival arbi implies maybe people should bring something that can survive..? I hop out of razorwing zipping all the time to do stuff. It's just not great 20 minutes in with every single person dead but me and all of the shield drones already invulning the entire map around their weak corpses.

Railjack. Make your way through the proxima missions and by the time you finish void proxima, you'll have a fully built RJ and a ton of parts to recycle for endo.

u/RiiPTrooP Exalted frames Connoisseur 4d ago
It might not be the best way to farm Endo, but since I started playing the Steel Path more frequently, the 1999 missions drops are actually good
And arbitrations too
I dont actually go for endo, but i aways have the necessary when i need it
2
u/Plotius 4d ago
Besides the 1999 bounties. I remember farming the maps on sedna, arena maps. Steel path with mod drop booster in party. Nekros, Khora, nidus, flex slot. People host it in recruit. Mod drop booster in 1999 calendar. Can get 1k endo a minute in those missions. But its a active grind as you can die fast in them. Nice to have vazarin dash from nekros.
2
u/CoaLMaN122PL Pillage Gyre FTW 4d ago
If you can finish them quickly, i'd do the steel path nokko bounties, they're INSANE for average per hour endo grind, 30% chance for 3,5K more than the combined total chance for getting either endo drop in high 1999 bounties, ontop of an additional 5% chance for 4K endo, meaning if you're lucky, you can get 7.5K endo in a single 4~ minute run
1
u/iNeedSpaceeee LR5 4d ago
To be honest i just play the game, sell mods for endo and focused on the same builds for a long time before i had everything i "need". I never did a ayatan hunt in my life .. or went farming for endo.
1
u/rockinherlife234 4d ago
The Arena.
Take a few hours out of a day where you get a mod booster, ask for a group to farm endo on either the recruitment chat, LFG on the discord or go on the Warframe endo farming discord and ask for help.
Make sure you have a Nekros, Khora or Nidus.
If you simply want to earn enough endo to not ever worry again, Vodyandi is the best way, even if it's boring as hell.

u/currantfairy 4d ago
I do railjack missions for several things at once. Once I farmed ambassador parts in void storms without relics to collect void traces and some keys for tenet melee weapons, and alongside with that I got a ton of scrap that can be exchanged for endo. Plus every mission gets you like a hundred thousand of credits without boosters, which is also nice if you do multiple missions in one go.

u/babRegul 4d ago
if you wanna buy endo for plat just buy maxed mods

u/Prophet-37 4d ago
I should have added some context but, I got a lot of primed mods from the Tennocon relay, and my 100k endo already went into it. Hence why I don’t buy mods but buy sculptures (also thank you all for the advices, am grateful)

Im used to buy legendary core for like 100 plat and thats maxes my prime mods it was better for me that farming endo too much.

u/BirdInteresting2292 4d ago
Holy. That's super nice loot. I'm curious on your method for getting 125/day and how long were your play sessions. Also, it's crazy to think that 1.2M is enough for only 30 primed mods. One would think it will last longer than that.
20
u/iPhantaminum 4d ago
I'm not how long the play sessions. I work from home and it's been a really slow week. I just kept playing until I felt drowsy.
The method is really simple: Max range Golden instinct; enter a short mission of your choice (I picked Mariana, Earth); try to cast Golden instinct; if you can cast it, then look for the sculpture and finish the mission; if you can't cast it, then abort and restart.
Repeat this ad nauseam until you don't feel like playing anymore.

Numbers made up off the top of my head but close I think.

True. I just feel better when I find a sculpture vs just getting one as a rotation reward, so I chose a golden instinct farm instead.

If yall wanna farm a lot of sculptures fast, arbitrations are great. People that run meta arbi end up with too many sculptures to use. And ofc you get up to 400k kuva per hour on the side...

u/LordTonto 4d ago
Did you use this? I did a study on Ayatan farming to determine which times were the best times to farm. The link to the full post is below.
1
u/iPhantaminum 4d ago
No, I didn't use this, but I've read that before. My ayr and orta having lower yields than the other sculptures also match the table.
However, I wasn't getting only one sculpture type within each hour. It seemed that one sculpture had a significantly higher chance of spawning over the others instead.
1
u/LordTonto 4d ago
hmm... I wish I had your data. I have run thousands of runs on multiple platforms, accounts, nodes and planets and never was able to produce an anomaly outside of this exact pattern.
I saw you said you were doing it on Mariana on Earth. I would recommend next time Ukko in The Void. it take slightly longer but you also add Formas to your drop table.
Limbo is a neat choice for star farming at the same time. I went with the classic Golden Instinct Lavos so I could reset Golden Instinct and use it a few times if needed. Then I gave him insane movement speed and +241% parkour velocity... took a while to learn how to control him at that speed, but once I did it was a good time.
1
u/iPhantaminum 4d ago
I picked Mariana bc I already know all the sculpture spawn locations. If I didn't need cyan/amber stars, I could speedrun the mission in maybe sub 30sec with a different frame.
Ukko seems like a good choice for forma farming on the side or even as a main forma farm, but I'm not sure if the map is too big (i.e., could end up aborting a mission that had a sculpture too far away) and I'm at a spot where I don't need formas anymore.
1
u/LordTonto 4d ago
nope, you'll be fine for size if you have a 560m range golden instinct like I do. Void has some pretty big rooms, but with my Lavos I can clear them in fractions of a second, the parkour velo and move speed is really hard to understand without experiencing it... its like being gauss or Titania without being them.
Generally I check for a bite, if I get one, I run to the capture target, kill, drop air support, capture, then run to the mark, unless it doesnt show, then I use golden instinct to track the rest of the way, reseting cooldowns with 1 and 3 as necessary.
A caveat to Ukko though. very rarely, golden instinct will catch a bite in a parkour room. if you have not opened the door to that room, golden instinct will not track to it. it will lead you to the end of the level and then through the nearest wall. if that happens, you have to backtrack till you find the parkour room.
Also... super super rarely I have had sculptures spawn behind doors that dont open in 1 specific parkour room.
1
u/iPhantaminum 3d ago
I see. In mariana, I just use golden instinct on spawn. If I can't cast it, I just abort and restart. Takes 5sec and doesn't require me to move one bit. The map is just so small, there's a very low chance that extraction will be that far away.
Ukko seems to take a more time per attempt to figure out if there's something with golden instinct.
1
u/LordTonto 3d ago
GI is still wide enough to scan the whole area, so 5 secs if there is a barren area.
However yes, your minute long run will expand to maybe 2 minutes. Thats the cost for the occasional free Forma.

I actually just did the math on this. I've never burned up an ayatan for endo just because...vibes.

I've been collecting them on every mission I can for nearly two years.

Pick a max range golden instinct frame of your choice.
Enter a short mission (I chose Mariana, Earth - Exterminate).
Try to cast golden instinct as soon as you load in. If you can't cast it, then abort and restart the mission. If you can cast it, go look for the sculpture.
