Faction Rep by the numbers

Faction Rep Guide If you are seriously looking to hit rank 25 with your faction to gain access to the faction exotic quest line for your exotic class item and are stuck grinding away with little progress, here are some things to help. Faction rep leveling cost by the numbers Current donation list rep (2/18/16) 5 Motes of Light - 100 rep 25 Weapon parts - 50 rep 25 Armor supplies - 50 rep 4 Special ammo - 25 rep 1 Heavy ammo - 25 rep 25 Materials (spinmetal) - 50 rep Cost per donation 5 Motes of light Xur - 10 strange coins 25 weapon parts gunsmith - 1,250 glimmer 4 special ammo gunsmith - 1,000 glimmer 4 special ammo with ether seeds Variks rank 1 - 400 glimmer 1 heavy ammo gunsmith - 950 glimmer 1 heavy ammo with ether seeds Variks rank 1 - 250 glimmer 25 materials from vanguard - 12.5 legendary marks Cost per 1 faction rank 100 heavy ammo from Xur - 33.3 strange coins 100 Heavy ammo from Variks - 25,000 glimmer 400 special ammo from Variks - 40,000 glimmer 1,250 weapon parts from gunsmith - 62,500 glimmer 100 heavy ammo from gunsmith - 95,000 glimmer 400 special ammo from gunsmith - 100,000 glimmer 1,250 consumables from vanguard - 625 legendary marks 125 Motes of Light from Xur - 250 strange coins I do not recommend using armor supplies unless you have a ton of them because currently we cannot purchase them. The best things I have found so far is buying heavy ammo from Xur with strange coins and Variks with ether seeds. Next is weapon parts from the gunsmith. However, I only buy heavy ammo from Variks if I happen to have ether seeds, if not and I am close to 25,000 glimmer I buy 10,000 glimmer worth of weapon parts. There are also motes of light from the speaker and I will add that to the list shortly. This guide was made with readily available items in year 2. 100 strange coins = 300 heavy ammo from Xur and 3 faction ranks!!! If anything looks off give me some feedback and I will fix it (as of 2/18/16 and subject to change)! Good luck Guardians! -JeepsDirty *Edit* You can also trade 5 Black Wax Idols to Eris in the tower for 1 heavy ammo synth.

    I changed my faction from Dead Orbit to Future War Cult on Thursday 2/11/16. Hit Xur on Friday and hit rank 8 from what I had in my inventory. Grinding all week for items then hit up Xur again Friday 2/19/16 to reach rank 16. Xur again this morning Friday 2/26/16 and hit rank 25 with the FWC. Completed ranks per week: 8,8 and 9. I used all of my strange coins on heavy ammo synths from Xur, traded ether seeds for Heavy ammo synths at the reef and purchased a ton of weapon parts. *Edit* I also traded black wax idols for heavy ammo synths from Eris, it was only 25 of them though. I bought a few pricy items during this grind also such as the $17,000 ship from Petra, "donated" $15,000 for the only exotic I don't have the chaperone, and bought all $12,500 worth of gunsmith packages. That $44,500 would have added about 3/4 of a rank extra with the use of weapon parts. *edited* I increased my faction from 0-25 in two weeks but I would say using this way it's about a 3 week grinding process.
