How to Rank Up in Nightcap’s Syndicate in Warframe
Nightcap’s Syndicate was introduced to Warframe in the Vallis Undermind update and has quickly become an important faction for players to engage with. This Syndicate offers access to new weapons, the unique Nokko Warframe, and the valuable Arcane Adapters. However, ranking up with Nightcap’s Syndicate differs from the traditional Syndicate progression methods in the game.
Ranking Up Through Mushroom Analysis
To increase your rank within Nightcap’s Syndicate, you need to analyze various mushroom samples using his Field Guide. This process is unlike other Syndicates where reputation is primarily gained through direct mission rewards or standing points.
Here’s how to get started:
- Acquire mushroom samples by completing Deepmines Bounties. These bounties can be started from Nightcap’s secret room in Fortuna, located by turning left as soon as you enter the Fortuna hub.
- There are 16 different mushroom entries in the Field Guide and you must fully analyze mushrooms to progress through the Syndicate ranks.
Syndicate Ranks and Mushroom Analysis Requirements
| Rank | Title | Number of Fully Analyzed Mushrooms Needed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unknowing | 1 Mushroom |
| 2 | Curious | 2 Mushrooms |
| 3 | Seeker | 6 Mushrooms |
| 4 | Gardener | 12 Mushrooms |
| 5 | Steward | 16 Mushrooms |
Finding and Analyzing Mushroom Samples
Mushroom patches appear throughout the Deepmines while you complete bounties. To make locating them easier, equip the Orokin Eye Parallax ship ability, which highlights mushroom locations on your HUD.
When you find a mushroom patch, interact with it to obtain a random mushroom sample. Each mushroom species has multiple growth stages, and you will need a specific number of samples per stage before you can analyze it.
Note: Rarer mushrooms require more samples to be fully analyzed. Each mushroom must be analyzed three separate times to count as “fully unlocked” toward your Syndicate rank progression.
Additional Tips
- You can earn bonus mushroom samples by completing the Deepmines Bounties’ bonus objectives. Keep an eye on these during your missions for faster progression.
- Focus on collecting and analyzing multiple different mushrooms to steadily climb through the Syndicate ranks and unlock all available rewards.
By consistently gathering and analyzing mushrooms in the Deepmines, you will unlock the full potential of Nightcap’s Syndicate and gain access to valuable gear and Arcanes.
