Best way to get to MR 14?

[★ Moonlight ★]

So, I've not really given my MR much thought but I've found myself at MR 13 and really wanting the gram prime. Whats the best way to get my MR up fast so I can craft it?

Get any sentinels you haven't leveled yet. Sentinels count for 6000 mastery, and they each come with their own weapon which is good for another 3000 mastery. They're hard to level if you play solo though since they don't get any affinity from your kills, so it's best to level them in a group so they get the shared affinity from your team members kills.

Intrinsics give you a pretty good chunk, you don't even have to pilot. Spend some time in veil proxima. While yo are doing it you'll get some endo and build up your railjack if you haven't yet.

btw Gram is just a slower version of Galatine. And faster attacks = higher damage output due to the lack of "over-damage" which goes into nowhere.

Doing bounties is always a option here or of course defense missions are good for high levels of experience.

Frames and companions give 6k each. Weapons give 3k each but are easier to get than the frames

Just by playing and spending plat, I reached MR 20 with 300 hours in-game time

start by making sure you clear out the marketplace items that can be bought for credits.
you can filter for "only blueprint" to see them, but i do believe some credit items wont even need to be built (you get them right away when you purchase them) so these wont show up if you filter for blueprints.

to be extra clear on the market part: i am only talking about items available to purchase with credits - not platinum.
you can of course spend platinum if you want, but clearing out the credit items is a good thing to do since they are easy to get.

you can also get some moa companions from fortuna.

in general, try to equip as many non-mastered items as you are comfortable with.
ideally in all slots (warframe, primary, secondary, melee, companion, archwing, archgun, k-drive, necramech) but you may want to keep one good and modded weapon in one of the slots.

and a personal recommendation is to the maximize your grinding by doing something that gives you other rewards while at it.
defense missions will give you relics as mission rewards, for instance.
and a defense node such as helene will also give you orokin cells as drops.
if the node also hosts a fissure, you will get void traces on top of that.
bottom line is to be smart about it and maybe mix it up a bit, so you dont burn yourself doing only one thing.

Thats where you're wrong. Big number makes me feel good. When I feel good I play better. When I play better I deal more DPS. Never underestimate the power of a sub optimal build that makes you feel strong running on pure placebo
