When you made a video being like “I need to take a step back” I was not expecting the best warframe explainer series I’ve ever seen to come out of it. Absolutely brilliant, mate.

What people don't know about stealth farming is it's been bugged intentionally by DE for many many years. How? when enemies freshly spawn in there is a hidden penalty timer of 3-4 seconds where if you kill them, they don't count as a stealth kill even though they are unaware and they will ruin your stealth xp bonus.

Why is this a thing? It's a leftover bandaid fix to a survival exploit many years ago where clients could camp enemy spawn locations in survival where enemies spawn unalerted for half a second to get xp. It wasn't very efficient, required specific tiles, and DE eventually fixed the exploit anyways. But, they KEPT this penalty.

If you ever did a silence leveling method you will have noticed that even though nobody seen you, you constantly lose your stealth bonus. This is why, hardly anyone knows this is a thing, and nobody is aking DE to fix this as it has not been needed as a bandaid fix for years.

This one was complicated to put together without it being an absolute mess. Enjoy! any feedback is, as always, appreciated. There are some really good and helpful comments here. Please read them for your own benefit !

[Loyallaw]

YES! I'm glad that this type of content is a series now. Imagine me and you (new player) 7 years ago, knowing all this stuff properly. Nobody explained this, and the other topics you'll cover, back then in full, nor did they elaborate in one single video. Mixed in one topic, maybe, but not fully dedicated as the main topic. Really happy this is being made by you.

[capium]

I'm so glad you are covering stuff like this and clearing up the confusion, especially for the newer players that don't have it as gained general knowledge. Also please keep adding the bloopers to the end, hearing you laugh and showing that you're human is a wonderful addition to an already great video❤

Regarding stealth runs:
1) you can combine the two: have a buddy that will do a stealth run with you just tagging along. As long as you don't alert enemies you will level very fast, regardless what that is.
2) using Silence makes Eximus units do not get alerted while you are chipping their Overguard, so remove it like halfway and perform a melee finisher from behind if you can.
3) Banshee is the best frame if you want to solo level weapons: all weapons are silenced, you have Silence yourself and even with minimal strength Sonar provides 100% extra damage on weakspot
4) Alternative to Rest is subsuming Gloom on Banshee - enemies are unaware for the netire duration of their 'headache' animation from Silence and Gloom slows that down.
5) Operators have a separate stealth multiplier, even if you alert something with your Warframe. You will gain stealth multiplier on Operator if you kill enemy that is asleep with your Amp
6) Currently there is a nasty bug that breaks stealth multiplier if enemy dies from a hit that applies damage status effect even if it was one hit kill so mod accordingly. Any weapon that has around 900 total damage (with or without crit) should kill Grineer on Sedna Exterminate in a single hit. Rest sleep require some damage to wake up so bullet hoses should also be able to keep stealth multi with ease. If Sedna is too hard, go to Saturn, the exp is less but still should level entire weapon to full with a booster in single run.

One thing that I’ve found to be EXTREMELY good at farming focus is to slap a lens on Gyre and take her into ESO. The chain lightning from her 3 and 4 can delete the entire map several times over with the right build. I’m MR22, and I can easily max my daily focus by just doing 8 zones of ESO with a single lens on my Gyre.

Note:
Operator Amp Affinity/Focus can be Obtained more easily on Spy Missions. No Alarms when hacking the Terminal gives quite a bit of Affinity/Focus. And it's easy enough to do it solo or in a group. Just make sure you are Operator to get the Amp points.

I guess focus farming with lenses has become better though with the current upgrades (standard 5000 focus, when picking the focus orb(?)). Though I think the circuit generates focus the fastest, because you can flatout max the daily focus standing with just a couple of rounds on the circuit. Still depends of course how many thraxes per round will actually spawn (they seem to spawn a lot less frequent on exterminate rounds).

Also I love your content. I always take your advice to heart, because your content is just very straightforward, tested and varied!

[ShynosDynos]

Usually if im leeching for weapon XP I go speedva in hydron to speed everything up while also giving squadmates health, energy and ammo with protea's dispensary, so it's a LOT more involved than just beign AFK and not helping while still keeping the 75% weapon affinity for most kills

Also imo nuke volt with lua lens + affinity booster in base sanctuary onslaught is still the best way to go for focus farming

[nathanielespanola]

Nice video, however I have some criticisms.

Stealth Silence setuls require the Savage Silence augment which you forgot to mention, which makes it practically impossible to lose the stealth multiplier as it... somehow does that.

Hydron is not a good affinity farm, I understand wanting to get higher tier relica, however, ESO leeching is just aay faster and nets you Radiant relics (though only Lith and Meso relics).

Great video btw

[Argomundo]

Lull is better than rest because it resets awareness. That means you can just start an exterminate, ignore the enemies, run to extraction (as you might or might not now enemies will start running there so you just follow them), and then kill everything there. Shade is enough to maintain invis while following them, though there are other ways, such as invis on finisher arcane. Finally you can use Naramons ability to open up enemies to finishers on eximus, this leaves them permanently open even when they are overguarded.

Thank you for putting out a guide like this. When I was starting out it was really confusing to understand the way leveling period worked. Then I ran into the same issue with focus farming. Theres so many click bait videos that dont actually explain how it works and more or less waste the time of the viewer. Love your content!

[spakeschannel]

Another way to passively get a lot of XP is Steel Path Elara on Jupiter. You spawn a starting room that should have kuria, spawn Kahl squad and railjack crew member with something like Zarr on Toxin. Stand on a sign of corpus and watch enemies being killed while moving a little bit to avoid AFK detection system. 5 minutes and everything is leveled up. No need to leech off any public squad.)

[zottestudios]

Yes leeching doesn’t mean being AFK it just means doing chill public missions

[vilalion]

I really like this kind of series that actually explain things not just here's the meta set, don't ask anything else

[erricro]

Hey MC! Just realised your views have quadrupled in your videos since your "let's talk" video. Im very glad to see a show of solidarity from the community and a higher level of investement from, well, everyone. You deserve to get far more views and i do hope this trend keeps.

I used to run Spies a lot back in the day for affinity; once you have the vaults memorized, a stealth frame can easily get through them in a few seconds and you get a lot of affinity for stealthily stealing the data. It really only worked on Affinity weekends the best since you could get an affinity booster to stack on top of it. Nowadays, Operators can stealth even better than frames, and you can just park your Frame somewhere they can't be seen till you come to the console in the vault.

[mptesteroni]

I've found two ways to consistently stealth kill Eximus units as Ivara; which is absolutely worth doing (60K+ affinity at 500%, one Eximus can give you multiple levels).

First is to approach them from behind while fully shielded and unaware with a powerful melee weapon, and power attack at about your max melee range. This is a bit of a crapshoot though, as it simply sometimes doesn't work. (Might be the DoT proc bug)

The other way is to chip off their shield completely with a weaker primary or secondary and then shoot a sleep arrow. Very important- let them sleep! Don't kill them until they wake up and you know they're unalert. For extra security you can sleep them again before you kill them. This results almost 100% of the time in a stealth kill, although you can screw it up if your shield chipper weapon is too strong.

Tip: try to keep Ivara's sleep timer as low as possible. As long as her efficiency is maxed at 175% with Fleeting Expertise and an 8-point Streamline, you don't need any extra duration to push it to max. Enemies will sleep for about five seconds, tops. This helps you get through the mission faster, as well as each kill quicker without causing the bonus to drain.


I love this series, my man. I think its the best WF work you've done since the slo-mo stance breakdown series.

[daninaga]

O lot of people don’t realize but putting banshee augment Savage Silence is really important if you are gonna do stealth even if you will be using like rest because this augment has a hidden ability that makes enemies less aware of their surroundings. It becomes weyyy easier to keep your stealth counter.
