Endo Farming
Table of Contents
Overview
Endo is a resource you'll need at all stages of the game since it's used to rank up mods. Throughout the game you'll earn new mods that will subsequently need to be ranked up, with high tier mods requiring upwards of 20k endo to fully max them out!
Below are several farming methods and resources for farming endo at different stages of the game
Beginner Friendly Farms
Ayatan Sculptures & Maroo's Weekly Treasure Hunt
Ayatan sculptures are small orokin devices that you can find in your mission. These can be slotted with ayatan stars, which randomly drop from broken crates / lockers, allowing you to 'awaken' the sculpture.
Once you've completed the Stolen Dreams quest, you'll gain access to Maroo and her bazaar on Mars. Talk to her and she can dissolve your sculptures and extract endo from them.
Note: Sculptures that have been fully slotted with ayatan stars will dissolve for significantly more endo, so ideally always fill your sculptures
Normally, only 1 Ayatan sculpture can spawn per mission (at roughly a 1/7 chance), but once a week you can talk to Maroo to receive a "treasure hunt" mission that has a guaranteed Ayatan sculpture.
Dissolve Mods
This is pretty self explanatory. In your mod bench, you can dissolve your high duplicate common/uncommon (bronze/silver) mods into endo. Rarity does impact the amount of endo received but do be careful when dissolving rare mods (gold) as those can sometimes be sold to other players for platinum.
Deimos Bounties
Deimos bounties have pretty solid endo rewards when you're still early on in the game. Higher tier bounties have better endo rewards, so queue publicly or with friends if needed.
Mid Game Farms
Sorties
Sorties can be run daily and have 40% chance to give endo related rewards. This breaks down to: - 28% for an Ayatan Anasa sculpture - 12% for 4k endo
Arbitrations
Arbitrations are hourly missions, that have a high chance to reward endo or Ayatan sculptures per reward round. You can definitely run this casually, but if you want a meta strategy, check out the Arbitrations Guide for more details.
Railjack
Veil Proxima missions have decent endo caches rewards and give a lot of scrap parts which you can dissolve into endo. Once you or your friends have a solid Railjack, then this can be a casual way to farm Endo along with a lot of other rewards like corrupted holokeys, relics, etc.
Zariman, Sanctum, & 1999 Bounties
Certain bounty tiers in the Zariman, Sanctum Anatomica, and 1999 have endo rewards of 3-5k endo. You want to farm Tier 3 Zariman bounties and Tier 3-5 Sanctum/1999 bounties ideally when they have a quick mission type like Exterminates and Legacyte Captures.
Late Game / Heavy Investment Farms
Arena
Arena Farming is a pretty complicated strategy which involves running Sedna Arena missions with specific frames, weapons and builds to maximize endo drops from enemies (can get up to 5k/min with it). There's a fantastic guide which explains everything about the process here: The Ultimate Endo Farming Guide by Mebius, Cyph, Tama, Fumiz
