Warframe's The Vallis Undermind update brought Nightcap, a new face (well, a new metal plate, really) in the post-Narmer Fortuna. Maxing your reputation with the mushroom forager is different from the rest of the Syndicates, since Nightcap standing uses a new system.

The biggest upside of the new vendor is that there's no limit to how much Nightcap standing you can earn in a day. This is a huge, welcome change compared to Warframe's other factions, which block your progress after a certain point. Here's what you need to know to rank up with Nightcap.

, and are essential to advancing your ties to Nightcap.

Instead of running through missions and seeing numbers go up, you improve your reputation with Nightcap by gathering mushrooms in Deepmine bounties, similar to Hex treasures in Höllvania. You can use those resources to fill his field guide—essentially a Pokédex for Venusian fungi. The Orokin Eye effect works on them, so use it if you've built a Parallax landing craft from the Zariman tileset.

Completing a bounty gives you Fergolyte, but each bonus objective in a Deepmine bounty drops an extra mushroom at the end of the mission. While it's a fairly straightforward system, it has increasing requirements and a layer of RNG. We've broken it down below.

Hunting for mushrooms is one of the best parts of a Deepmine bounty.Image via Digital Extremes The field guide contains 16 types of mushrooms found in the depths of Fortuna, and Nightcap's research requires you to go foraging for them in the Deepmines. You rank up with Nightcap by completing entries in the field guide. Each ******* has three tiers of analysis, though you need more specimens for each level. Their rarity also affects how many samples are required.

Based on our experience, there are three main types of mushrooms, with Dull Button being an exception.

Finishing a research tier requires you to hand in your mushrooms to Nightcap, depleting your stock. If you had five samples of a common mushroom, for instance, you'd give him three and still have another two in your inventory.

If you're not having luck with bonus rewards or in-mission spawns, Nightcap sells some mushrooms for Fergolyte, a resource awarded at the end of Deepmine bounties or by composting unused shrooms. Each sample costs 10 Fergolyte regardless of rarity, but the most sparse ones are locked behind higher Nightcap ranks.

Ranking up with Nightcap is a new, refreshing formula. His inventory has interesting offers, including all parts of Nokko and rare Arcanes, so get ready to click every mushroom you see. As usual for Fortuna NPCs, Nightcap opens up his chest plate at rank five, putting a face to the odd helmet you've been talking to.
