In this segment of the video, the speaker introduces The Plains of Eidolon, an open-world zone on Earth occupied by the Grineer. The zone follows a day and night cycle and offers various activities such as mining, fishing, beast conservation, and bounties. At night, players can hunt endgame bosses called Eidolons. Two syndicates, Ostron and the Quills, are associated with The Plains of Eidolon, offering reputation grinds to unlock access to cosmetics, mods, weapons, frames, focus lenses, arcanes, and modular melee weapons called Zaws. To engage in this endgame content, players should have upgraded mods, defensive and offensive frames, Mastery Rank 5 or higher, and completion of key quests like The Archwing, The Second Dream, and The War Within. Players are guided through the initial steps upon entering Cetus, the social hub for The Plains, and provided with introductory bounties to start missions. Bounties vary in tiers, offering rewards based on difficulty level and refresh every two and a half hours. Completing bounties earns standing points with the Ostron syndicate, allowing players to rank up by meeting standing point requirements. Daily standing points are capped, with the ability to earn more the next day. Completing bonus objectives in bounties yields rewards from a pool list, with various mission types included.

In this segment of the video, the key points covered are about gaining standing points by completing bounties and using them to purchase mining and fishing equipment from vendors in Cetus. Standing points are essential for ranking up with the Ostron Syndicate and gaining access to various vendor merchandise. It is advised not to spend platinum on materials that can be easily obtained through mining and fishing. Fishing equipment, such as different fishing spears and baits, can be purchased with standing points, with special offers available in exchange for platinum. Fishing can also provide valuable resources needed for crafting items. Mining and fishing resources, along with standing points, are crucial for advancing in rank with the Ostron Syndicate. Equipping mining and fishing gear requires using the gear wheel on Cetus or the Orbiter before heading out to the Plains to mine and fish.

In this segment of the video, the narrator explains how to mine veins and fish in Warframe on the plains. Mining veins are indicated by red or blue colors and can be found on rocks, cliffsides, and caves. A diamond shape appears over a vein on the map, and aiming the cutter reveals drilling spots. Stopping the cutter in the white brackets yields minerals, with bonus minerals possible in smaller brackets. Having a resource booster increases mineral yield. At Rank 4 with The ostron Syndicate, an advanced nosum cutter is unlocked. Fishing involves equipping a spear, waiting near water for fish to spawn, and selecting baits for different fish types. Fish sizes determine standing points or resources gained when cut. Different biomes on the plains offer various fish types, some only appearing at night. The day-night cycle lasts 100 minutes day and 50 minutes night. The Warframe Wiki provides detailed fish location, time, bait information. Ranking up with The ostron Syndicate unlocks more vendor offerings for mining blueprints and baits. Purchasing mining blueprints and acquiring various baits is recommended for refining materials and catching rare fish.

In this segment of the video, key points include the availability of specific baits and blueprints needed to rank up with The ostron Syndicate. Different baits are required for catching unique resources from specific types of fish found in different biomes. Beast conservation on the planes can only be done with a tranq rifle obtained from open world social hubs on Venus and Deimos, providing unique resources for zaws and frame parts. Specific resources unique to the plains like grockjoule, erudite, nissel pods, and maprico are essential for ranking up. Resources and mineral veins are procedurally generated, need mods like loop radar and vacuum for farming efficiently, and higher Bounty tiers provide increased resource yields. Erudite and grockjoule are also necessary to use the Arc Wing in any open-world zone.

In this part of the video, the focus is on acquiring the Arc Wing launcher segment, building zaws, and maximizing Syndicate rank with ostron.

The segment requires specific resources, including grok jewels, erudite, and oxium. It is recommended to equip a stealth-based frame like Loki or ivara when venturing into the Plains due to grineer hostility. Zaws, customizable weapons, consist of strikes, grips, and links, each affecting weapon characteristics like speed and damage. Building zaws involves acquiring blueprints, gathering resources, experimenting with combinations, and leveling them up for Mastery rank purposes. Experimentation and community input are essential in creating the best zaws.

After gilding the Zaw, players can polarize a mod slot, name the weapon, and unlock an Arcane slot. The Quills Syndicate offers amps, arcanes, cosmetic items, and the Revenant blueprint, with rank progression tied to trading sentient cores obtained from Eidolon hunting. Eidolon hunting, which involves facing endgame bosses during the night cycle, is highlighted as advanced gameplay, with a recommendation to learn mechanics and observe experienced players. Casual players can still rank up with the Quills through regular gameplay.
