You can never have enough Ability Strength in Warframe. For that matter, Arcanes like Molt Augmented have become the staple for players seeking to effortlessly bolster their Ability Strength. It appears that the developers recognized the potency of Molt Augmented in Warframe, hence they designed it to be somewhat challenging to acquire. But fret not, as we’ve crafted a Warframe Molt Augmented farming guide to assist you in streamlining the process.
Where to Get Molt Augmented Fast
There are two reliable avenues to consistently obtain Molt Augmented in Warframe, avoiding reliance on random drop rates. These options also dictate the farming methods you’ll employ.
From The Holdfasts Syndicate
To be precise, Cavalero, that gung-ho grump, sells them. However, he’ll only entertain your purchase once you’ve attained the maximum Standing with The Holdfasts, or Rank 5 (Angel).
Even then, significant grinding is necessary since each piece of Molt Augmented in Warframe costs 10,000 Standing. To achieve Rank 5 and unlock the maximum bonus, you’ll need 21 Arcanes, totaling 210,000 Standing for The Holdfasts.
However, the challenge lies in the fact that you can only accumulate around 21,000 Standing on average (for an MR10 player) per day by completing Bounties for Quinn (and then trading Voidplumes to Archimedean Yonta for Standing). Higher Master Ranks yield more Standing per day, with around 30,000+ achievable at maximum.
This means you can only acquire approximately 2-3 Molt Augmented per day (excluding ultra-rare drops from Void Angels and Thrax enemies). On average, obtaining the full Rank 5 Molt Augmented set takes around 10 days or nearly two weeks. To expedite the farming process for Standing/Molt Augmented, consider the following tips:
- Opt for the fastest Bounties to complete, such as Exterminate and Mobile Defense, over more challenging but rewarding ones (like Void missions). With luck, you may come across Tier 5 Exterminate Bounties from Quinn.
- Regularly check Archimedean Yonta for Voidplumes available for purchase. Her stock refreshes every eight hours, allowing you to trade these Voidplumes for Standing.
Consequently, if your Mastery Rank significantly exceeds 10, you can likely acquire the entire set within a week or so.
Or Just Trade for it Using Platinum
Alternatively, you can swiftly obtain Molt Augmented through player trading. This method is significantly faster, particularly if you have spare Platinum.
Currently, a Rank 5 Molt Augmented typically costs around 150-160 Platinum. However, if you prefer to acquire it piece by piece, each Molt Augmented piece goes for around 9-10 Platinum.
If you’re short on Platinum, consider various methods to earn it. Check out our guide on how to efficiently earn Platinum in Warframe.
