In this guide, nosotros'll exist going over how Focus Points piece of work, how to get Focus Lenses, and comprehend some notable Focus farms to help you hitting your daily Focus cap as hands as possible.

How Focus Points Work

Focus Points are obtained by using Focus Lenses on max-level Warframes and weapons. Lenses convert a portion of all Affinity earned into Focus. The rarity of your Focus Lens determines how much of that Affinity gets converted. This too means the corporeality of Analogousness you earn impacts your Focus gains.

Without deviating besides far from Focus, information technology's important to empathise how Affinity works before farming Focus. Killing enemies grants a varying corporeality of Focus based on what they were killed by. The table beneath showcases each scenario and Affinity breakup.

Weapon Affinity is dissever amongst all weapons in your loadout. Bring fewer weapons into missions to funnel your Affinity into a specific Lens. Companions do non detract from any Affinity or Focus gains.

Impale Method Warframe Analogousness Weapon Affinity
Warframe Ability Kill 100% 0%
Weapon Impale 50% l%
Ally Kill 25% 75%

There are two boosted ways of earning Focus: defeating Thrax enemies aboard the Zariman and converting Eidolon Shards. Thrax units grant ii,500 Focus when slain, regardless of Lenses or Affinity modifiers. Eidolon Shards catechumen to a apartment rate (as explained beneath).

Lens Conversion Rates

Lenses catechumen Affinity into Focus at the post-obit rates:

  • Standard Lens: 1.25% conversion rate.
  • Greater Lens: one.75% conversion rate.
  • Eidolon Lens: ii.25% conversion charge per unit.
  • Lua Lens: iii.25% conversion rate.

For example, if you have a standard Unairu Lens and gain ane,000 Analogousness towards that item, you'd gain 12.five Focus towards the Unairu school. This is quite boring and not practical for reaching daily caps, then that's why Convergence Orbs exist.

Convergence Orbs

Convergence Orbs multiply all Focus gains by 10x for 45 seconds. In our previous example, you'd proceeds 125 Focus towards Unairu instead, drastically improving your Focus gains. By maximizing your Affinity gains and using Convergence at the correct time, yous can earn tens of thousands of Focus in less than a minute.

Daily Caps

In that location is a limit on how much Focus you can earn each day. All players can earn 250,000 Focus Points each day, with an additional 5,000 Focus added to your cap per Mastery Rank. For example, an MR20 actor could earn 350,000 Focus a day. This daily cap resets each day at 00:00 GMT.

Eidolon Shards

The simply other way of earning Focus in Warframe is by converting Eidolon Shards into Focus Points. Eidolon Shards can be obtained by defeating or capturing Eidolons roaming the Plains of Eidolon at night. A much weaker shard chosen Synthetic Eidolon Shards also has a rare chance of dropping during Sanctuary Onslaught runs. Eidolon Shards do not contribute to your daily Focus cap.

Elite Sanctuary Onslaught narrowly beats it for the scaling Convergence Orb multiplier and abundance of minor tilesets. Nevertheless, if you tin can't farm Elite Sanctuary Onslaught or lack a DPS Warframe, farming enemies on Adaro is a great fashion of earning Focus.
