    Kinda ruins the whole risk reward mechanic if you’re just doing patrols to build stacks, and you have to regather them after every lost sector. The you’re just replacing lost sector time with patrol time, and patrols are The Worst Content

    Read my blog about AMERICA and THE BAY AREA

    If my math is correct, which it likely isn't, I think you'd only need 20 Lost Sectors finished with 5×renown to to get rank 50. That is if you get 41 tokens every time, which got me more than 2 and half ranks cashed in.

    I think someone mentioned a +25 token bonus for your first Lost Sector or something, which means you won't get 41 tokens every time.

    Step 1: 15 Javelin MultiKills (3+ quickly). Note: This week's meditation from Ikora includes the Will of Thousands mission, so you can farm Javelin kills during that quest. thanks u/Matzeroni Otherwise, either get a Warsat Event or start EP and use an Armory Code to get a Javelin (fastest during EP.

    Step 2: 3 PvP matches completed. Interesting. Mayhem this week so that's kinda fun.

    Step 3: Complete Nascent Dawn 5/5 quest (unlocked when you get this step). It;s just an easy version of the Strange Terrain Mission where you "kill" Nokris.

    Step 4: Unlock the Sleeper node in the middle of the Alton Dynamo Server Room. As usual, opening this node gives you the Diary quest which you socket into the last server near Ana Bray.

    The reward is the Polaris Lance Catalyst. The catalyst requires Enemies Defeated (at 0%, probably 300 as usual) and 50 kills with the Perfect Fifth perk. The masterwork gives the gun Dragonfly. That's all folks.

    God damn it.
    How am I suppose to keep my perfect 0-0 pvp rating with this? Stupid quest requiring pvp.

    Didn't you say there was some kind of milestone for the first time you do it?

    yeah, but 41 would still include 6 tokens i can't account for if it's 25 + 10 for the 5 renown

    maybe +1 for a ghost that gives extra tokens?

    there's a milestone on the first one

    So you got the milestone bonus on your first completion. Report back how many you are up after you do the second.

    Hm so I went to go pledge to FWC and forgot they have you talk to each faction again (and it didn't trigger for FWC). Went over to NM to get that side done with, didn't realize that it didn't trigger, wasn't paying much attention but ended satisfying the requirement going DO - FWC - NM. I feel like the order shouldn't matter, but just in case: does anyone know if that thing requires you to speak to them in that order?

    Because if so, that would explain why NM wins so much.

    Public events grant 3×, so I just loaded on the water side of EDZ, did the Cabal PE, and then ran along the coast and picked up patrols to get to 5.

    I'm guessing it's 15 or 16 normally, I'll go do another to check

    Hmm yeah this seems to be right, just did one with a 4x stack and got 8. I'm wondering why I got more than usually my first run. I'm not wearing a faction ghost (though I should be). I do have a faction boosting ghost for Public events though, which got me 5 per Public event. Not sure how much you get normally.

    Wow okay that is... not ideal. No wonder they keep winning.

    Also, it seems you keep your reknown when you die outside of Lost Sectors, in case anyone else also thought you lost it anytime you died. Source: I did a public event, then walked over to the chest without realizing there was a Cabal grenade along the way, got blown up, kept my three stacks of reknown never mind, you lose a stack per death and I didn't notice. Also, doing a Lost Sector with a full stack is so much more tense now, especially with the super slow regen.

    3 if it's heroic. dunno about normal.

    Is that in full faction armor or no?

    I had no idea your gear had any bearing.

    So no.

    Unrelated, the new Ana Bray quest: the first step says 15 javelin multikills but uh...those aren't counting. does it mean the polaris lance?

    3+ kills in rapid succession with the Javelin (the red spear weapon from Rasputin) is what's required for the multikills. I read that the repeat adventure she is offering gives a perfect chance to farm those.

    I'll check that out, thanks.

    The explody thingies in lost sectors that used to give tokens, they don't now, they just explode. Are they just vestigial, or do they serve some other purpose I'm not seeing in the rally?

    Hmmm....I don't know if I'm missing something but she doesn't have any new adventures, Heephaestus is the heroic, and none of the base 4 have any section with the Javelin in it.

    So my faction rally investigations/top tips.

    For each Lost Sector you do your tokens vary on renown in the following way:

    0 renown: 1 token
    1 renown: 2 tokens
    2 renown: 3 tokens
    3 renown: 4 tokens
    4 renown: 8 tokens
    5 renown: 10 tokens

    If you're wearing a full set of faction gear for the faction you're pledged to you get an additional renown stack every time you do something that would give you renown. So doing a heroic public event gives you 4, a patrol gives you 2.

    My general thing is you do a heroic public event then a lost sector, giving you 13 tokens (5 for the public event and then 8 for the lost sector with 4 renown)

    Polaris Lance catalyst tip: apparently the 50 Perfect Fifth kills only trigger when the burn causes the kill. Redditor said he cleared it quickly in the Castellum.
    Headshot 4 Cabal to get the Perfect Fifth bullet and then use the explosive round to headshot a full HP Legionary. You'll bring him low enough that the last tick of the burn will kill him.

    Good to know.
