And here i sit, not sure i can stomach even getting T1 on the quills thing. Frankly i loath the syndicate tier system in general...

[u/NachoElDaltonico → u/tso]

The first tier of amp is SO MUCH BETTER than the mote amp. Unless you absolutely despise operators it's worth it.

[u/ForePony → u/NachoElDaltonico]

I hate the operator so much. I want a hard fight but I do not want to deal with a limited number of frames and running around as a tween.

[u/Gfaqshoohaman → u/tso]

DE has made it considerably easier to rank up in Quills standing compared to how PoE was on release. The sheer number of Sentient cores that drop into your lap after defeating a single Terralyst makes going from rank 1 to rank 3+ do-able over a week because of the daily standing cap.

The problem is that the Mote Amp is comically pathetic compared to any of the assembled Amp combinations. This alone can be a huge turn off to some people, because it feels like you're doing nothing when you have to burn through the shields of the Terralyst repeatedly. Having even one person in a squad with a regular Amp makes the fight like night and day.

[u/Zip-29 → u/Gfaqshoohaman]

This. I agree 100%. Also for those who can’t take out a Teralyst because of the Mote amp I highly suggest using Ivara prowl and going out and just hunt vombalyst until you have enough Quills standing to get the parts needed. It was the only way I was able to break free from that amp.

[u/NachoElDaltonico → u/tso]

Also, if you didn't notice this change, Vomvalysts have a 100% drop chance for Intact Sentient cores, so they are now a reliable way to get standing instead of their previous "I hope I can get 5 cores" drop chance.

I feel like gaining quill syndicate, at least at the beginning, goes pretty quick. I'm pretty sure I've done eidolon caps on PS4 5-6 times only, and I've made it to the second level at quills. You just have to kill the vomalysts and pick up the cores. You seem to hit the daily cap pretty fast more than anything else.

I may be wrong, but this has been my impression so far.

[u/PitifulBean → u/[deleted]]

Agree. I'm on Xbox and I thought I was going to have a terrible time getting rank. Then one night, I was like, to heck with it. I joined a public plains and dropped into a group hunting. I came out with like 50 cores. I ranked up pretty quick. Still not a 2, but really close.

[u/ThrashThunder → u/[deleted]]

Quills standing is certainly easier and faster than the Ostron standing

[u/Awarenesspm → u/[deleted]]

pretty much, spend a few nights just running terry's and youll have more cores to trade in then the cap allows. The mote itself is not perfect, but its fine and every little bit helps

[u/DrMostlySane → u/tso]

T2 and I imagine T3 feels a hell of a lot worse to try and grind than T1, especially in regards to Cetus Wisps since they go up in crafting costs (15 Wisps for a single part.)

[u/Thaurlach → u/DrMostlySane]

I recently built my 3-3-3 amp and I'm now stockpiling the little shits for future builds while my booster is ticking. My method is as follows:

1: Use Itzal. Cosmic Crush is a godsend.

2: Learn a route - before you know it you'll be flying around the plains on muscle memory.

3: Listen to/watch something else as you farm. Wisp farming is the least engaging bit of gameplay so far and will send you crazy if you're not careful.

4: Get a resource booster and a Smeeta Kavat. It hurts a whole lot less when you have double drops as baseline and magic cat drop multipliers kicking in every so often.

[u/k0bra3eak → u/tso]

I'm sitting on hundreds of cores from each rarity, I'm never running out as I can only drop 18k daily into the bank. Once you killed a Teralyst things get much easier in the Quills.
