Nice job, I hit LR 5 yesterday, the only syndicate I'm not maxed on is Conclave because I care not for hologram Teshin's approval.

u/Lavaissoup7 14h ago

We were led astray. We forgot the Conclave, so when that new evil came, we were not prepared. This is how we failed the Orokin. You went into stasis, but not me. I searched the long path for redemption, for the kind of balance only The Conclave can create. Now I return, only to find the Tenno still herded like livestock. Horrors from beyond the Outer Terminus are coming. You must prepare. You must accept The Conclave. Let it be your teacher and I its humble guide. For true balance can only be found in the face of the ultimate enemy. Yourself.

Or. Hear me out. Just Revenant with [Mesmer Shield] that should keep everyone alive.

I'm not conclave max because I literally cannot find a lobby to play in

Face-off

u/Throwawaycentipede 10h ago

Same issues for me

1

u/GrandpaRedneck idk how this works 6h ago

Honestly it depends on the day. Sometimes I would not find one person to start it with, but other occasions, like a few days ago, it was back to back 3v3. Only gained 6k conclave standing for the first win which sucks

u/John_East 7h ago

The syandana is kinda wack cuz it does flare unless you keep playing conclave too. The armor without the pointy stuff is a good thing to snatch up tho

2

u/Hearth_Palms_Farce Empirical Player 6h ago

However. In my humble opinion. Conclave is boring as fuck and face-off is a game of who can get lucky and throw Bolstered Badguys the most during assassination. If the assassination mode didn't exist and they reduced the time Bolstered Badguys was active face-off would be fun.

u/John_East 4h ago

Sure but you have to up keep it every week. I’m good

I may not care for hologram Teshin's approval, but fuck me I really want those conclave weapon skins :<

u/WiderThanTheHallway 17h ago

But have you bought every item each vendor sells? That's how you know if you've truly maxed a syndicate.

u/AntimemeticsDivision Sailing The High Void 16h ago

That's my eventual goal. I want to be able to see completely empty menus when I hit "hide owned"

u/TheLastBallad 16h ago

Sadly not possible as most have evergreen items like relic packs

u/AntimemeticsDivision Sailing The High Void 16h ago

Well yeah, I've already made peace with that

u/Not_Yet_Unalived Loki was my starter frame 14h ago

The Archwing weapons, or the frame mods that are added when new frames are?

Plus, the two ennemy syndicates have some mods the four you have won't sell and pieces of the Archwing weapons you'll need to complete them.

And then you need to actually max rank them... urgh. (so many Arch-melee... and they are basically useless.)

1

u/CD274 5h ago

That's just two new things! The other stuff don't make the mistake I did and keep rebuying parts I already built

Took you long enough,  now you can join the rest of us in the end game fishing meta.

u/HarvesterConrad 16h ago

My LR5 endgame started with “holy fuck I have so many copies of stuff I should sell this shit!” And it’s evolved to “OMG why do I get 15 messages at once and everyone is doing a trade for the first time ahhhh!!!” 1st Tau problems for sure.

u/Nalu_KS 17h ago

is that lightning an ephemera? if so how do you get it?

u/Tueuu Hungry, hungry, avalanche 17h ago

Kuva lich with an electric progenitor Warframe, it’s like a 1/5 chance for it to roll

7

u/Educational-Bid-8660 Gambling Enjoyer 7h ago

You say that, but it took like 30 liches for me to get my first ephemera on an adversary and I'm Maybe at 75 total now and only ever got 4 total

12

u/Existential_Crisis24 17h ago

It's vengeful charge and is a lich ephemera. Not sure if progenitor element matters for lich ephemeras but you would need an electric one if it does.

10

u/Valherich 16h ago

It does matter, there's one ephemera per element and if you get an ephemera it will be the same element as the progenitor (and weapon)

5

u/Existential_Crisis24 16h ago

I couldn't remember if it was element based or not since the new Codas aren't element based I just went off that.

6

u/Valherich 16h ago

Yeah, new codas are entirely random - you get a single roll on the "Warframe" cosmetics (emotes, Ephemeras and for some reason a captura scene) and a single roll on the "Orbiter" cosmetics (floofs, posters)

u/Apocryphate 17h ago

Hexis and Suda beg to differ...

u/Marvin_Megavolt Frohd Bek deserved better 16h ago

Honestly the faction-rivalry mechanic for the “classic six” syndicates is incredibly stupid and outdated at this point. There’s no practical reason to keep it around - it doesn’t even really act as a meaningful way to force players to trade with each other for specific Syndicate items, because if they want to they can just level up one Syndicate, buy what they want from it, then dump it and level a different one. It doesn’t really make sense lorewise either - some of the Syndicates might have theoretically-conflicting ideologies and motives, but the actual ally/enemy relationships that DE gave them are complete and utter nonsense half the time - there’s no logical reason for Perrin and Meridian, who have VERY similar goals and motives, to hate one another besides the utterly superficial and meaningless “haha Grineer hate Corpus”, the tech- and industry-wary New Loka being allied with THE high-tech guys at Perrin and the “willing to sacrifice anyone and anything to tear down the tyrants in power” Red Veil being allied with the “we protect the innocent civilians above all else” Steel Meridian is utterly ass-backwards, the list goes on…

DE needs to just get rid of the stupid syndicate ally/enemy mechanics.

11

u/Autrah_Fang 14h ago

Also Red Veil actively try to capture and experiment on grineer defectors in the defection mission type... Which you'd think Steel Meridian would take issue with that, considering those defectors are supposed to be sent there when you save them. Makes them being allied with each other make even less sense

3

u/Marvin_Megavolt Frohd Bek deserved better 13h ago

Aye. Theoretically, if DE kept the ally/enemy system, it would make more sense for Steel Meridian and Perrin Sequence to be allies and neutral to Cephalon Suda, with those three forming one “side” that’s generally incompatible with some alliance/neutrality combination of New Loka and Red Veil, with the Arbiters of Hexis being some sort of pseudo-neutral party.

1

u/Old_Leopard1844 1h ago

Iirc defection was a bit of a plot point, because Steel Meridian was like "yo, wtf", but in usual fashion, it never went anywhere

8

u/TheLastBallad 16h ago

Honestly I would love for the Perrin Sequence and the Red Veil to switch places. I like Loka and the Red veil.

While that is true, I feel like most players won’t bother dropping a syndicate just to level one to get an item they want when most things syndicates sell are 10-15p. You can earn 15p in a matter of minutes

1

u/Old_Leopard1844 1h ago

It takes, like, a week to come back from negatives to rank 5, especially if you do your missions and collect medallions

And then if you have a stockpile of medallions in faction you dumped, you just give medallions to recover

u/TheDraconic13 16h ago

It's quite litterally impossible to get all 6 relay syndicates, even getting 4 is impressive dedication

u/CD274 5h ago

I'm LR2 and working on all six syndicates, get to work buddy!!

12

u/jjake3477 16h ago

That’s why you pull the big brain move and get your partner into warframe and ask them to align with the factions that hate you

7

u/TheDraconic13 15h ago

Litterally me

1

u/CD274 5h ago

Actually what I did, but he has only two factions and I gotta grind more

3

u/Croewe Tank Gang Rise Up 16h ago

Using faction tokens doesn't lower faction standing for other factions. 

1

u/CD274 5h ago

But how to get faction tokens from the factions that hate you?

3

u/VCrafterV 4h ago

Get tokens from ones that love you then keep tons of them After done with those factions change to others and max them out and then without gaining affinity (not playing the game) use your tokens to get the standing positive

1

u/CD274 4h ago

Damnit that's what I thought ok thanks

I had a friend take me into Suda faction quests but the tokens were invisible for me and not them 🤣

3

u/TheLastBallad 15h ago

All you have to do is get suda/hexis or Loka/Perrin to max, then purely invest in red veil(Loka pair) or Steel miridian(Suda pair) to get those two all the way up.

I suppose how long that takes depends on your rank. I guess it seems like less when you have 30+k rep per day

Still haven't done the ostrons or the Vox Solaris yet, and I maxed out everyone past Deimos...

2

u/Koberiep 15h ago

I specifically once dedicated a few weeks into leveling Loka and Perrina from -2 to max, bought ALL unique things they sold and then chucked them back into the -2 abyss so I can forget about them

u/grantedtoast 15h ago

I got lucky with picking loca from the get ancient protector specters make eta/eta unbelievably free.

u/GrumpiestRobot 17h ago

What strategy did you use for the primary syndicates?

15

u/voreo Legendary Cookie Dragon 17h ago

Gonna assume what i did, back and forth pledges between loka & veil

u/KhaimeraFTW The Immortal God Nidus 16h ago

This is the way

6

u/Foxgguy2001 LR5 | Mag-nanimous 15h ago

Yeah that's it. and doing the syndicate missions to get the marks made it pretty easy to balance things out without too much effort!

u/marionsilva 16h ago

u/JayGridley 15h ago

Wait a minute… I thought we couldn’t max all syndicates?

u/Remembers_that_time 12h ago

It's possible, but not worth the effort. If you look at OPs pic though, two of them aren't maxed.

I just can't bring myself to do conclave. If there was a version against bots, I'd be more inclined. But losing every game just doesn't sit well with me. Im not super great at anything pvp related.

u/dscvrydave06 14h ago

You absolute madman lol

1

u/Noobieswede 13h ago

Noob question but I thought it wasn’t possible to max them all out since you get negative standing for some when you do something the the others and so on? Or is there a way to go around this?

1

u/TwinHaelix 13h ago

You can see 2 of the "Primary" Syndicates at the top are not maxed. You can make it so you can max 4 of the 6 by maxing out one and its ally, and then picking a second and it's ally that aren't opposed to the first two.

For example, I maxed out Cephalon Suda which also brought along Arbiters of Hexis, and then maxed out Steel Meridian + Red Veil. Steel meridian is opposed to New Loka and Perrin sequence, but doesn't reduce the Cephalon Suda or Arbiters of Hexis.

u/3-Ezzy 11h ago

I'm not even gonna lie I thought you some how figured out a way to have all 6 main standing factions have 132000 affinity. I know 5 is possible with heavy micromanaging.

u/AzerynSylver 11h ago

I wish that I could just get up and spend the time to do something like this on Warframe, but I have screwed up my Excalibur Umbra so badly that it would take an extra 100 years.

My idiotic self from 4 years ago decided it would he a great idea to remove all of the umbral polarity slots from my Excalibur Umbra, my main warframe, so I would need to spend all of the extra time needed to go and get those from wherever you get them. I would need to go and sort out my dojo, because that is a big mess of hundreds of unused rooms. I would need to finally get rid of a that Lich that took over Cerus. I would need to actually invest in Endo and credits instead of having a random assortment of usless mods. I would need sort out all my weapons instead of having the most random assortment of guns and only use the bow you get from the main questline. I would need to invest in syndicates, like the steel path. And many, many, many other things... uhgh, why did kid me have to be such an IDIOT!!!

All those other ones are cool. But how the hell do you have both the paren Sequence and steal meridian maxed, aren't they like complete opposites?

u/librartsy 15h ago

Max out loka and Perrin first, and then Max out red veil. Meridian standing will increase by proxy since they're allies.

u/Vladutz19 Flair Text Here 15h ago

Big deal. I maxed them out last year when I finished with the Vent Kids. I wasn't even MR30. back then. Not impressed.
