Who This Guide Is For

For people who like mining only and want a simple headache-free method. With this method you'll be able to gain 2k standing or more per minute.

The Method

You will find about 6 mining deposits in a small radius immediately outside Fortuna's gate. We are going to speed run around the gate and mine for Zodians and Thysts. Each Zodian and Thyst is worth 1k Solaris United standing. Each run will net about 4 to 6 total rare gems with a resource booster or 2 to 3 total without.

You Have To Be Good At Mining

Some mining deposits will have a small area which you will want to hit consistently. Correctly landing on this spot will guarantee a rare gem whether it be a red deposit or blue.

Inconsistently hitting on that sweet spot will severely reduce efficiency.

Step 1: Buy A Resource Booster

Step 2: Bring A Speed Running Warframe

Suggested Warframes are Volt, Nezha, or Zephyr

(I was using Volt, so run times may vary.)

Volt Speed

Zephyr Turbulence and Tail Wind

Cast Turbulence for a 40% increase in speed. Cast Tail Wind to quickly fly to targets. If you're having energy issues, you can opt out of using Turbulence and unequip Jet Stream.

Nezha Fire Walker and Innate Slide

Cast Nezha's first ability, Fire Walker, for a 25% speed boost. For the build, Transient Fortitude is optional and only there if you want to use Warding Halo for more survivability. We won't be bumping into many enemies, however. Firewalker is costly and can be swapped for Mobolize.

How To Use Nezha

The sequence is sprint, slide, then roll. This will cause a great speed boost. You should hear a lot of wind if done correctly. The floor will be very slippery and strafing left or right, will cause Nezha to veer rather then strafe. This will take some getting used to. Opting out of using the ability, Fire Walker, is still effective and gives the advantage of no energy requirements.

Use Zenurik For Energy

Use Zenurik's Energizing Dash for energy regen, if needed.

Step 3: Buy The Mining Tool

Fast travel to Smokefinger.

Buy the Sunpoint Plasma Drill for 2.5k standing and equip it in your gears.

Step 4: Start Doing Runs

The Sunpoint Plasma Drill is nice and will detect number of deposits within 60 meters and show deposits within 50 meters on the mini-map. It also displays how far away you are from the closest deposit.

Step 5: Turn In Gems For Standing

Turn in gems to Smokefinger. Grofit!

Additional Tips

Bring A Melee Weapon

Occasionally, you will be harrassed by enemies. If you don't want to keep switching from drill to guns and back, equip a melee and use the quick melee button. Alternatively, you can set the drill to a hotkey in gears and be able to switch between drill and any weapon quickly.

For top melee weapons and their builds, visit my other guide, Best Weapons In The Game!

Beasts/Moas Can Get In The Way Of Mining

Sentinels might be better.

Don't stray too far away from Fortuna's gate. You may aggro more enemies slowing down run times.

Try To Hit The Middle Of The Hot Spot

Hitting the middle will yield more common minerals but will not increase rare gem reward. Rare gems will always come in 2 with resource booster and 1 without. Go for a 5 yellow stone rating for maximum yield.

I'm pretty sure the sweetspot that you occasionally find on mining nodes doesn't guarantee an extra rare. It only gives you an additional drop from the node, with a chance of it being rare. Because hitting the sweetspot counts as getting a perfect score, you're more likely to get a rare anyways, because of the high rating. You can definitely still get all commons even with a perfect score.

omfg I had no idea there were more than just those first 3 gems.

[ThePHiLsTeR [¬º-°]¬]

Ya, its not designed to be a comprehensive guide. Just a simple low requirement method.

[Jimmy Juice]

Would be nice if u included the hotspot for mining but we will go ahead and google them, thank you. 4/5

I have been mining since Fortuna was added. From my experience, mining IS the best way for standing. Fish yield very little standing, hunting animals takes way more time and effort than mining, and bounties take the most time and give very little standing.

For those who think there is a better way, this guide isn't for you. This is for people who don't have a method and are looking for an easy way to get standing quick. If you think you have a better method, make your own guide of said method.

[Hot-Smoker85]

Maybe you should put that in the title then, I don't think many people look at the discription, I didn't notice it cause I thought that the guide was too long for me since I have no problems farming standing and was curious how people might farm it, so I just took a glance at the whole guide and didn't notice your statement in the discription.

[ThePHiLsTeR [¬º-°]¬]

Do you guys not read? lol It says in the description of the guide. "For people who like mining." You guys are listing what you like and that's find and dandy, but you're missing the point. Not everyone wants to hunt and not everyone wants to do bonds.

[Hot-Smoker85]

just save them kubrodons, 20k in 10 mins if you're lucky

[Nyx]

Man, i just turn in my tons and tons of debt bonds.

I just buy them since i got a bunch of mats and credits.

At the end of the day, it's about what people find funnest or most bearable to do. This guide is an option for people who want to mine. And as you can see fortuna is huge with many ways of earning standing. Therefor players have options and should choose the method that works for them. I am only presenting one option.
