Here is how I personally grind for Faction Rep Do with this info what you will! General Notes: Patrol the Cosmodrome Look for any chests you can find to open (I find most of my strange coins and motes from them - grape hunters are perfect for this) Partake in events but don't actively search for them ALWAYS do the curiouser and curiouser patrol when it pops up Wear a ghost that gets you more glimmer from fallen kills Wear all blue gear - it levels up fast and once leveled you can dismantle for more motes Strategy: Start in the steppes - complete any patrols there saving ones that send you to the divide for last (IE VIPS or scanning) Move to the divide and do the same thing Move to the rocketyard and do the same thing By now you hopefully have gotten the curiouser and curiouser patrol if so go back to orbit If NOT continue to forgotten shore. If it still doesn't show up go back to orbit Start again! I then turn in all my glimmer for weapon parts unless I have ether seeds which I use to turn into variiks for heavy synths Between doing this 3-4 times plus doing the bounties for the day and the dailies for legendary marks (mats from vanguard) I get about 2-3 ranks a day. Let me know if you think you got a better strategy cause I'm sure this isn't the best but it works for me! Partial credit to Lambsofdoubt Edit 1: Grape is void, blue raspberry is arc, orange is solar.
