What's the easiest way to farm Railjack Intrinsics?

[Anguxilion]

I find it so hard and tedious that I believe I'm doing something wrong, I can spend 30 minutes on a mission and get like 60 intrinsic in the best scenario.

assuming I have an affinity blessing, affinity booster, and kavat equipped, what's the best mission and whats the best strategy to farm these mf fast? I've been waiting for a double exp weekend but it never happened and I'd like to finish this horrible thing<

EDIT: after testing a lot of combinations of missions and loadout I came to the conclusion that the best method for solo instrinsics farm is

Luckless Expanse (Venus) Survival (thanks to thetool)
Affinity Blessing (Relays)
Affinity Booster (Market)
Naramon school (has a melee kill affinity boost pasive)
Kavat Smeeta (Mod to double everything you get)
Much MUCH better results if you do this mission while having a Void Fisure Mission, higher lvl enemies but not too much to cause trouble, and after the first relic is open you obtain a 25% extra affinity

I've made over 200 intrinsics in less than 30 mins, so at least for me this has been the best method on 2025

FYI I used Revenant because of its second ability (you're inmortal basically, so it's the only ability you will be using, when the shield counter drops to 8-0 just use it again) and Kronen prime to kill everything with melee and just go arround keeping E pressed, my suggestion is just watch a show in the background because this will be boring

Probably pick a survival mission in Railjack and just get affinity there.

My advice to players getting started is to do the first Earth Proxima mission, Sover Strait, and earn the first command intrinsic. Then go see Ticker in Fortuna and hire an engineer. Keep farming until you reach rank 5 in command and have a full crew.

If you're passed that stage, try the Corpus survival missions. They're basically the same as your usual survival missions, except you can also use a necramech. Bonewidow absolutely clowns on fools in such missions.

Note that kills by npc railjack crew do not give intrinsic exp.

Handy for keeping the ship alive, though.

You take an affinity booster, then board anything with grineers in it, and stealth murder everyone with Ivara. Stealth kill multiplier will give you obscene amounts of affinity, and thus intrinsics.

[PhellAsleep]

Affinity range in Railjack is infinite, so "easiest" would probably just be to join in on missions in the highest difficulty zones, if you don't have a proper ship to host yourself.

[Sceles]

Duo proxima is fast, if both people know what to do you can get consistent 4min completions.

Luckless Expanse, 1 hr.
Try it out and report back
Think you'll be surprised.

alright, I did it and indeed I had the best results. affinity blessing + affinity booster + smeeta, solo 1 hr survival gave me around 230 intrinsics, its the best method I found.
but I will not act like it's still super slow, like, I have all things lvl 8 except for 2 that are already lvl 9, I find it hard to belive that I will have to do this survival mission for 7 hours aprox to max everything, is there something else I could do to get more affinity?

You haven't been able to get stealth kills in railjack for like 5 years now

Sorry, not that I know of. It is still a bit of a grind getting to the max lvl on all intrinsics.
There still may be a better way, but this is what we have found to be the most efficient usually as a 4 man farm squad because this is also the best Tellurium farm we have found also with drop chance+resource boosters. Also you will pull a lot of railjack parts that can be burned into Endo.
Let us know if you find a better farm for the railjack intrinsics.

thank you a lot, it seems that this is the most hard grind part of the game, i didn't got a single tellurium tho, I should try doing a full squad to see if it changes things, I'm having a hard time finding people grinding railjack things, I only come across people doing the missions to clear the chart and are not into staying into survival too much

Proxima Veil is separated into a Grineer side and a Corpus side. On the Grineer side, you'll usually see a red flashing light over one of the missions. This is a sentient mission. Do these for intrinsics, tier 3 railjack parts (can be turned into endo), affinity from high lvl enemies, and sentient cores. This lets you work towards several things at once while engaging in some fairly engaging gameplay

~Each Intrinsic point requires 1000 Affinity (1/10 of Affinity earned only goes into Instrinsic gain) which can be earned through a variety of activities during Empyrean missions, and unlike regular missions Affinity Range is infinite so all Squad members benefit regardless of their locations.~

You should take non endless railjack fissures. Crewships are worth a ton.

oh, so it actually helps a lot having a full squad, Ill try to find someone, but why should I do non-endless instead of endless survivals for example?
