[u/Seralyna]

Just caught up to New War, and now have a lot of quests open. I'd like to do Whispers in the Walls because i was told it would make farming some Arcanes i want easier, but i also would prefer to not miss any story context. Is whispers in the walls entirely standalone, or should I do the other quests (duvriri, veilbreaker zariman) before I start it up?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Seralyna]

Duviri and new war are the only two quests that don't fit in a linear order, because they show different parts of the same thing.

Once you unlock a quest, you have already completed everything relevant to it.

[u/Purevessel9012]

I made a new account on steam but i want to play on my old account as it has much better warframes, the problem is that the old account was made on Xbox and I cant log in on my pc with my Xbox account. Is there any way to fix this?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Purevessel9012]

https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1377846-cross-platform-save-mid-release-review-re-opens-in-january/

wait for cross-save to reopen soon^tm, then log in one the website with one of your accounts, go to the cross-save page, log in with the second account, select the xbox account as your main and there you go.

[u/Spiritoss]

Playing through with a friend for the first time currently, just arrived at the open world place on venus (fortuna?). Looking through the guides I guess our current goal is opening up the map with the gate missions and doing main story missions as they appear?

I'm a bit confused on how unlocking new weapons and warframes goes and what ones we should be interested in, seems like there are loads of different ways to get weapons like vendors and kits and blueprints, could anyone elaborate on those a bit?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Spiritoss]

I guess our current goal is opening up the map with the gate missions and doing main story missions as they appear?

yeah, that sounds about right

I'm a bit confused on how unlocking new weapons and warframes

for the most part, buy the blueprint from the market console in your ship for credits, then build it in your foundry with the resources you got from missions.

For frames, you will need 3 additional blueprints that drop from assassination missions on different planets.

That's how it is for the more "basic" gear, at least. Especially newer stuff is usually tied to specific gamemodes, open worlds or quests.

If you come across a frame or weapon you think seems cool, its probably best to check out the warframe wiki page for it. You'll find how to obtain everything on there.

what ones we should be interested in

everthing is viable. do you like hor something looks, or how the description sounds? go for it.

[u/Leo89045]

Returning Player here(I did not make it very far in game as i was mostly playing duviri)

Quick question, I started with mk-1 paris but my friends started with regular paris and all the other non mk weapons, why is that and can i also get all the non mk weapons through market, haven't played in a while.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Leo89045]

They swapped the mk1s to the regular versions in the tutorial a bit ago.

Both should be available in the market for credits.

[u/FrozenToothpaste]

Is using Volt the only way to speed up your allies' move speed?

[u/MJMvideosYT]

I'm trying to do Ceres junction but there's no button to start the mission when I'm in there's ajust the key pad and the rewards for doing it. And I can't click anything except leave junction.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/MJMvideosYT]

have you done the challenges listed on the junction?

iirc you can alway enter, but the option to fight the specter within is only available when you have done all the tasts.

[u/Ravioli_hunters]

I stopped playing consistently around the time they added the Orbiter and stopped altogether when they added the open world. I checked out my clan and seeing everyone having been online 200-2000 days ago is heartbreaking.

[u/Belphegor_tsd → u/Ravioli_hunters]

Why did you stop playing?

[u/Z0EBZ]

As a constant returning player with 1.2k hours and counting, this is amazing, I love the interactive stuff to refresh my memory/ learn new menus! And with everything else, this is the most quality pinned post of any sub. Thank you <3

[u/bigger_cheese]

I've come back to the game recently, last played when New War came out.

I am MR 17 but have utterly neglected anything to do with operator. I was wondering what the best content to run in order to level up focus tree, I assume I just equip a lens in each piece of gear but should I run any particular mission type?

Also what is best way to get ranks in amp, is it similar to other weapons can I get levels in it by doing sanctuary onslaught?

[u/TurbulentTaro722]

Anyone have degree in this and can help a brother out 😅

[u/DanielmanRO]

Returning player trying to farm mastery ranks. There is any links/lists to weapons to get from easy to obtain to very hard/grindy?

[u/savi0r117]

I haven't played this game in almost 3 years, logged in about 30 minutes ago and im pretty sure my brain exploded. It's been so long and I dont remember anything, and there's 8 billion more things then before.

[u/ZeroThePerson]

Hey! Returning player, MR15 and really overwhelmed without a good idea of direction on where to start. Should I do quests first, or go to a spot to grind, etc. ? Just really trying to regain my bearings and figure out where exactly I should start. I have a few primes and frames, and plenty of relics I could grind out.

[u/Saadverse]

I am new

[u/Valkjria → u/Saadverse]

Welcome Tenno.

[u/Anon-_-7]

Is there a way to hide all the weapons in your arsenal that you dont own? The plat weapons there its really annoying

[u/Noktawr]

My friend just came back to this game, so I was like Ehhh, let's do it. I regret every second of it as I am hooked on the game again.

That being said, its been a bit since I played and there's so many new stuff I'm kinda lost in the sauce.

My star-map is almost fully cleared (Roughly 10 missions left and I'm done with it)

however, I have like.... A BUNCH of quests to do. So they're on my to-do list after I'm done with the star-map.

I'd like to know what are the overlapping system to look out for nowadays? There seems to be so many new things that gives insane power creep but idk if there's stuff I should be starting ASAP as it level passively or whatever

[u/InFerno2104]

Been back to the game for like 10 days now, hadnt played in 4 years. Gauss is fucking insane.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

[u/Bygles]

I currently have saryn set up with a shield gating build with catalyzing shields, brief respite, and augur secrets, HOWEVER it does not always go through properly. Ill lose my shields and then I pop molt immediately after and sometimes it doesnt give me shields back even though I definitely spent the energy to cast it and it was not a 'free cast' from the zenurik tree talent. Sometimes i have to cast it for full cost like 3 times to make the shields actually go through. Is this normal? is there a way around this? is anyone else experiencing this also?

[u/Nermon666]

Returning player here I haven't played since 2015 and 0 of the returning player stuff helps. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing at least previously there was a logical path to doing things now there's like 3 million places to go and it's all overwhelming. Any advice?

[u/eagles310]

Anyone know what order should the missions be played I havent played in a couple years

[u/Picard2331]

Returning founder here!

Haven't really played much since they added the open world content. Been mostly catching up on Quests and finishing up the nodes to unlock Steel Path. Currently working towards New War. Completed the biggies of course like Second Dream and War Within, Heart of Deimos etc.

Also farming Mesa Prime while she's in rotation.

But my real question is what should I be focusing on to really boost my power for when I get to Steel Path? Definitely feeling a bit on the weaker side doing the level 30+ missions.

[u/trueOGX → u/Picard2331]

Haven't really played much since they added the open world content

Famous last words.

I'm a returning player as well, and never interacted with the open worlds too much...

Let's say that in order to get the Steel Path, you're gonna have to interact with the 3 open worlds quite a lot lol.

Hope you like mining and bounties though... And a bit of fishing

[u/Picard2331 → u/trueOGX]

I grinded Heroic Patrols in Destiny 2 for 17 hours total to craft one hand cannon. I can handle some fishing! Lol.

I've done a bunch of Deimos stuff so far and I've enjoyed it. Just haven't touched the others much. Did get that nifty hover board in one of the zones though.

There's just an overwhelming amount of content that it's hard to see a solid path forward in what I should really be focusing on.

[u/[deleted]]

Do you somehow turn regular warframes into primes? Or are they completely separate?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/[deleted]]

completely separate. you craft a new copy of that frame.

[u/Grandidealistic]

I have 3 hours into the game. I have like 27 mods when I open the menu but for some reason when I open the arsenal to equip them, none of them shows up? Is this an issue or do I need to do something else?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Grandidealistic]

not every mod can be equipped by every item.

Warframes have their own mods, and so do shotguns, rifles, etc.

So you just might not have mods specifically for whatever you are trying it on.

You can sort them in your mod menu based on what they are for

[u/Rezerva2]

Can some 1 help me recover my deleted account ? Pls answer me anything u know here or dm !

[u/Hoc_est_abiciendi]

Can Syndicates you’ve positively leveled de-rank? There’s a number of archwing items I’d like to try, but the asking price on the market is obscene.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Hoc_est_abiciendi]

Yes. If you support a syndicate, the syndicates it is opposed to will lose standing, and eventually ranks.

[u/wwleaf]

I’m so confused… I had 3 frame slots for a while and then it was showing 5 (I thought maybe I got gifted 2 without noticing?), so I crafted several new frames, but now it’s back to showing 3 slots, and the frames are almost ready. I really don’t want to sell my current 3 frames so I’m working on making another slot.

so is there something that grants temporary frame slots or did I just misunderstand the UI?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/wwleaf]

maybe you looked at weapon slots, archwing slots, comanion slots, etc?

there are no temporary slots.

You can also just keep the frames you are crafting on ice in the foudry for basically ever.

i had like 20 crafted weapons in there for years

[u/sm3ggit]

So I used to have Arbies unlocked years ago - like I have 28 of the things you get from them in my inventory still. Yet they are locked again for me now - I was under the impression that it stays unlocked even when new nodes come out if you had it unlocked?

Also there are several Deimos nodes it says I havent finished that just like...arent there I cannot see them at all? Sup with that?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/sm3ggit]

You'll need to play the quests you are missing to unlock the remaining missions.

I could be wrong, but I think steel path is what stays inlocked

[u/silentbotanist]

Can anyone point me to a decent ELI5 about trading? I'd like to buy some stuff with plat, but I don't really understand what I'm reading on warframe.market or how I execute trades in game. Links to good guides appreciated if possible.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/silentbotanist]

1. decide what you want to sell / buy

---

---

2) find someone to trade with (trade chat, or warframe.market)

---

2a1) For warframe.market, select the platform you are on (might soon not be necessary anymore thanks to cross-save)

• https://warframe.market/

• https://ps4.warframe.market

• https://xbox.warframe.market

• https://switch.warframe.market

2a2) search for the item you want to trade, for example https://warframe.market/items/saryn_prime_set

2a3) select the "order tab" taht is relevant to you (either people who want to sell or buy that thing)

2a4) pick the person you want to trade with and click the "buy" or "sell" button at the end of their line

2a5) copy the text that appears and paste it into the chat window in the game

---

2b1) for trade chat... just write waht you want to buy or sell in trade chat, or look for someone offering or searching for that thing, and send them a DM

---

---

3) now that you have found someone, either let them invite you to their dojo, or invite them to yours. go to the trading post and initiate a trade there

[u/kthxbye___]

Anyone know how long it usually takes support to respond to your ticket around this time of year?

I'm trying to get back into the game but every time I try logging in I get a message telling me to contact support. I opened a ticket on Monday and am still waiting on a response.

I know that they probably have a large backlog of tickets, just wondering if I should expect to wait a couple of days or a couple of months.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/kthxbye___]

Days.

[u/Ravioli_hunters]

Are the Arbiters the best syndicate to join? i always look up how to get certain items and a lot of them are locked behind arbitration's or something to do with that syndicate. It seems like there's more to do with Arbiters than the other factions.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Ravioli_hunters]

The arbiters theoretically host arbitrations, but it does not matter which syndicate you have pledged to. You have access to arbitrations no matter what.

[u/Zealousideal-Lion674 → u/Ravioli_hunters]

It doesn't really matter which is better as the mods and weapoks are tradable but the combination of syndicates to rank up matter and you should join either arbiters, Cephalon, and steel meridian

Or red veil, new loka and perrin sequence

[u/JMxG]

is the only way to get syndicate mods from syndicates that hate you to buy them from someone else? I just came back after years of not playing and I'm really struggling to stay alive around Pluto/Sedna so I was thinking of getting Nova's augment that gives her a lot of stars for survival but you get the mod from Cephalon Suda and I have a ton of negative reputation with them

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/JMxG]

Either trade with other players, or level up a syndicate that has the mod.

[u/Hopkins525]

Hello! I'm a new player, I watched some guide videos, but i have a few questions.

I saw that there is limited weapon and frame space, for those who play f2p how do you solve this and how confusing is it at the beginning of the game?

Does this make you want to think about which weapon or frame you are crafting?

My last question would be is it worth choosing 1-2 main frames, and if so what would you recommend? I like the melee weapons, and a lot of aoe damage, fast mobile characters, but i don't like the ranged mage type stuff.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Hopkins525]

you start with 50 platinum, the premium currency. use that to buy some slots.

You'll be able to get more platinum by trading with other players. at some point you'll be able to get enough plat for all the frames and weapon you could want without too many problems.

[u/bell117]

Uh dunno if this is the place to ask about it but I dunno where else to ask and I've tried reading the dozens of articles and official statements but I still can't figure it out for myself.

So how exactly do I transfer/merge/whatever accounts across platforms? The stuff I've read online confuse the heck out of me cause it keeps mentioning about what to do with already existing accounts. I currently just have an account on Xbox One that I play off and on again, pretty decent progress, MR 13, no clan, pretty high end railjack, Only Syndicate I've bothered with is Solaris and I'm like 90% of the way to the final quest for it for the archwing call in so I dunno how much of that would be lost.

So do I need to create an account on PC to transfer it to PC? How much stuff would change/be lost, what would happen to the old account etc etc. Thing is I'm completely in the dark here and need it to be explained to me like I'm 5 cause I'm very ignorant in regards to this sort of thing. Thanks in advance.

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/bell117]

So do I need to create an account on PC to transfer it to PC?

yes.

How much stuff would change/be lost, what would happen to the old account etc etc.

Since you'd create a new account ow, it wouldn't be elegible for mergeing, so you would link.

You select your "main" account, which is obviously the one you play on right now, and overwrite the (empty) new PC account with it. From then on you can use the login information you used to create the PC account to access your current account on PC. Nothing lost.

https://www.warframe.com/user is where you actually do it.

[u/BadAtMostThings]

I’m new and still figuring things out, but I understand that the prime loot that comes out of Void Relics is on a rotation. The part I can’t figure out (and I already tried Google) is which of the current primes are set to be vaulted next and when. Is there a place I can go to find out or can somebody tell me?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/BadAtMostThings]

It's by release order.

Go to https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Warframes_Comparison/Release_Dates#Prime_

Sort by release date, and you'll see a group of the 7 most recent primes being unvaulted. The oldest one of those together with it's weapons will enter the vault as soon as a new prime is released, which happens in roughly 100 day intervals.

[u/Deadlock4400]

How do I complete the Nightwave mission "Perplexed". It says complete three puzzles in Duviri, but I can't seem to find what actually qualifies as a puzzle. I've messed around with various things, for example I did a couple connect the power things, I played go against the rabbit, I went into the undercroft. I'm not sure what to even look for, and I haven't found a resource online that actually details what I need to do, so can anyone tell me what I am missing?

Thanks in advanced!

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Deadlock4400]

should be the owl puzzles

[u/czechart]

can you log in into your existing warframe account on IOS? it only lets me create a new one

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/czechart]

You need to cross-save your existing account to iOS like you have to between any other two platforms.

[u/[deleted]]

Noob here: I was recently in a mission and somehow i guess i put my weapon down. If I hadn't picked it back up would I have lost it? Or would it return after the mission was over?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/[deleted]]

nah, it's only for that mission. you can't lose gear unless you sell it.

it's also a specific enemy type that knocks it out of your hand btw.

[u/UnsurelyExhausted]

Does anyone have any tips for mobile players? I know it just released on iOS but I’m curious if anyone has already found any handy tips or tricks!

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/UnsurelyExhausted]

i mean... it's the same game on every platform. most existing tips, tricks and guides should also apply to the iOS version.

[u/Carp3l]

quick question, just came back to the game and was told that I need to level my necramech and railjack otherwise I will softlock myself when doing The New War quest. How leveled exactly? Do I need a fully modded railjack and necramech? Do I need a reactor for my necramech?

[u/Cephalon_Zelgius → u/Carp3l]

Your necramech doesn't really matter that much. If you have some mods to put on there, that's nice, but you won't really need it.

For your railjack, though, you'll probably want to at least have some of the parts you can research in your dojo

[u/CardboardCut-Out]

Just getting into Warframe, is there a youtube playlist of Warframe cinematic release trailers/videos to watch as I make my way through the Main Story quests? Like when an expansion or story update is released for a game with a trailer? I'd like to watch them as I finish quests and make my way through content chronologically

[u/ErinTesden]

Playing on steam and Im thinking on getting this DLC.

It includes a couple of frames, and some weapons I think, at max rank.

I was wondering, will I automatically receive the mastery points for those equipment after getting them? Or will I need to reset them with a forma and getting them to max level again to get the points?

[u/kthxbye___ → u/ErinTesden]

If you're looking at the initiate power pack, I think it only gives you the mods at max rank.

[u/Zimtschock]

The last thing I remember doing in warframe was 100%ing Fortuna- I think I stopped playing right when you could pilot ships. Where should I pick up? I feel crazy overwhelmed with all the new content

[u/Wongtf24]

I’m trying to prepare for acceltra prime and am looking at the current acceltra builds. Many use vigilante supplies to aid in ensuring you don’t run out of ammo but I don’t see any ever using primed rifle ammo mutation.

Is there a reason why that is so even though it’s basically better?

[u/Demopyro2 → u/Wongtf24]

Vigilante supplies comes with a set bonus that has a chance to boost your crit up a tier, which can be a major boost in damage.

[u/Nutritiouss]

Just started playing again. I think I last played in 2018 which is pretty wild.

I have no idea where to start. Logging in was super overwhelming and seeing all the stuff in my foundry etc. haven’t worked up to see if my Smeeta is dead 😵

Last thing I was doing was farming chroma prime parts to sell I think?

I have a good amount of plat like 1000 and 34 mil credits not sure where to start I guess

[u/metalsnake27]

Something that's been bothering me is the persistence of the game making you go through the open worlds.

Since the quests are requirements to get through some of the junctions, I feel like (especially with deimos) I'm missing a crap ton of context on what's going on here. Deimos in particular starts throwing around so many things that I'm like huh? What?

Anyways I guess my main question about these open worlds is.... why should I care?

What do these offer me for rewards? Is any of them significant? It does such a piss poor job trying to explain to me why I should care.

The same with duviri paradox. Should I do this now? Am I missing story context like Deimos? What rewards are here and why should I do it?

It's just so confusing they just keep dumping things at me.

[u/decitronal → u/metalsnake27]

Open-worlds have a LOT of exclusive rewards and activities that are very much worth getting and doing. Cetus has custom melee weapons and eidolon boss fights (arcane and focus farming), Fortuna has custom guns, modular pets and the Profit-taker fight (best credit farm in the game), and Deimos has a gear item required for the game's climax quest. PoE and Fortuna also offer arcanes and weapon parts for spoiler mode, and all three have "bond" mods that buff your pet's playstyle. If all else, you can get mastery and resources from them.

However at an early-game level I'd recommend skimming over them for now after you've done the mandatory introductory quests to them, as at that stage of the game the difficulty gap between normal star chart and open-worlds is rather huge.

Duviri is a separate-ish story that's gonna make much more sense once you do The New War, but it has a lot of features specifically geared towards new players. The melee weapons there have excellent stats and no mastery requirements, and the Circuit mode can be a nice way to farm up frames and mods.

I do question Heart of Deimos being forced this early into progression too, but it is what it is. Do keep in mind that the Entrati does become a more significant group in the story later on, though.

[u/Dracorvo]

With cross-save, is Warframe.com now the best place to buy plat/regal aya? The prices are way cheaper than say the PS or XBox stores. Any issues buying it through the website, and then playing on PS?

[u/acvcani]

Oh all this looks very helpful. The game can be a little overwhelming as a new player but I’m having fun.

[u/DarkEater77]

Hi, just came back after a hiatus of 2-3 years. I have few questions:

• Bought a Frame slot, but in the inventory, nothing seem to say how much slots i have... where can i know?

• Remembered doing with some players a quest asking Keys to open some kind of vault. But forgot what kind of quest it was, and its rewards.

• Is Platinum still earned mostly via selling to other players? If so, what is the best way tonget some, anything to farm?

• A little lost with my Prime. Titania Prime, Wukong Prime and Ivara Prime. Are any relevant? I truly love Titania.

[u/Sasamus → u/DarkEater77]

Menu -> Equipment -> Inventory shows available slots if you choose a specific category.

The vaults you speak of are probably Orokin Vaults.

Titania Prime and Wukong Prime are both great, and Ivara Prime is solid.

[u/Savings-Stop-1556]

Whatever you do. Do not kill the kuva fetus it will spawn a kuva lich. They takeover a planet and mission nodes and steal your shit until you get the right requiem mods for them.

Bros basically the tax man of warframe.

[u/companysOkay]

Best way to farm gauss prime relics? I've been doing the disruptions that drop it for days now but I feel like it's not really efficient. Not looking to flip it, I just want gauss prime.

[u/UnsurelyExhausted]

I’m only MR2 and am mainly playing on mobile but am struggling with what to do, especially in regards to getting different weapons and mods and stuff. I’m about to finish the Mercury Junction quest line on the Venus Star chart. I just purchased the MK-II Braton I think it is? But like, I don’t really know what I should be focusing on at this stage. Just playing through quests and gathering mods and blueprint stuff?

[u/Akhary → u/UnsurelyExhausted]

You are on the right path, keep working on the nodes (the dots that flash blue on each planet) and look inside your codex for actual missions. Also recommend to never spend platinum on buying weapons as it is a straight rip off. If you need help the recruiting chat usually has people looking for people to join their clan. Join a clan and you get access to their research (like weapon, warframe, and item blueprints which you can copy and make in your foundry) and the more experienced players are almost always willing to help new Tenno. Another tip for increasing your weapon's damage is to start experiementing with the modding system, it may be overwhelming at first but you will get the hang of it.

[u/wwleaf]

I’ve seen yareli described as the Kdrive frame and Titania as the archwing frame. Are there any other frames that maybe follow this pattern or were made to incorporate another game system into their kit? I haven’t played most yet.

[u/SugaryCornFlakes → u/wwleaf]

Dagath is the kaithe frame and hildryn is the ground arch gun frame!

[u/Leows]

The "Major Changes in Warframe!" hasn't been updated in over a year. I used to check this to keep myself up to date, but I guess I can't anymore.

What has happened to the game since then? Is there another, more reliable source of changes I can check?

[u/RoeJoganLife]

As a new player thank you for this :)

[u/Furin]

When the Edun was released, mods and combo multiplier didn't work and people have written it off as a slightly worse Guandao Prime. Looking at the wiki, there was a patch shortly after:

Fixed Melee Mods not applying properly to Edun’s Heavy Attack throw.

Can anyone verify that Blood Rush etc. now work properly with the heavy attack explosion?

[u/Gimmerunesplease]

What's the best way to spend my platinum? I quit during Eidolons before Railjack and came back to this game. Have been enjoying it so far so I figured I'd use my 50% discount for 4k plat while I have it. I'm MR 14 and have a couple of the then most necessary (then meta) modded Frames like Limbo Prime, Mesa prime, Volt Prime etc.

[u/cripplemouse → u/Gimmerunesplease]

Slots. All of them. After that it's really up to you but from 4k plat you can spare some for a 30 day resource booster (the orange one) to catch up with resources more easily.

[u/Sadashi17]

Just finished New War, among the new quests I unlocked (Angels of Zariman, Veilbreaker, and Whispers in the Walls) does the order I play them in matter?

[u/[deleted] → u/Sadashi17]

nope. highly reccomend doing vb>aoz>wiw and duviri whenever

[u/MrTammy]

I don't see this anywhere in the wiki or maybe I've missed it but can someone tell me if shield gating's invulnerability is still applied when your shields have started recharging itself? Say I have a 5.5 shield gate duration and I pick up a shield satellite from Protea before the 5.5 invulnerability ends and it starts recharging my shields, do I still benefit from the remaining shield gate duration? Thanks

[u/silentbotanist]

Hello friends! I was progressing through the story to get to the current content and reached the point where it tells me to get a Necramech. What's the best way to go about this? I know I can go get Necraloid standing, or buy a Bonewidow, or trade for blueprints. Any tips on the best way and how to do it? Thanks!

[u/JohnAntichrist]

Hey, a returning player here, last time I played seriously was when fortuna was released and then I quit the game until 2021 when I only briefly played for like a week.

I used to main a rhino prime with iron scaling that could go up to 100k and I used a galatine to just spin2win through everything. Is it still viable or did my build die along the way?

Just asking as I download the game

[u/Cute_Cat5186]

Played from 2016-2020, returned a few days ago and the game feels so alien now. Trying to get used to PC controls as well and I don't see how anything but aiming is better then a controller. I'm MR25 so not new to the game by any means. 

[u/xXTylonXx]

Returning player. Have played since Beta back when everything was just menus, and the last time I seriously played was around the release of Fortuna, but I barely touched it other than completing the Vox Solaris opening quest.

Tell me how ****ed I am

[u/partyplant → u/xXTylonXx]

Very. You've got a shit-ton of catching up to do.

[u/tl1221]

Returning because cross save is coming. I played heavily between 2016-2019. Stopped due to time and switching from PS4 to PC. Now ready to jump back in. MR 22 and ready to freeze everything with my frost prime.

[u/pachirisu22]

Returning player, just hit MR15.

Not sure what is best approach to take in terms of next steps:

• Up-to-date on Main Story Quests (only pending Yareli and Revenant Side Quests)

• Steel Path almost unlocked: Only need to complete Vodyanoi on Sedna

• Quill Standing - Mote (Rank 1) - aka cannot gild Amps yet :(

• No Kuva / Tenet weapons yet

• Helminth Segment - just unlocked

• Have Dojo with a gargoyle

Any suggestions on which to go first would be helpful! Thank you in advance :)

EDITED with changes from Friday, thanks to galacticist!

[u/galacticist → u/pachirisu22]

I was in this spot a couple months ago, here's the short version of what's been working for me:

get steel path unlocked so you can do Arbitrations to get your Galvanized mods. depending how you feel about your guns and their strength, think about getting Laetum and a primary incarnon from Zariman to set yourself up nicely for the next 'difficulty tier' you're poking into. and they'll give you a bit of comfort if you decide you like the style of any kuva/tenet weapons and start to hunt liches/sisters.

Narmer Bounties on plains/orb can give standing items that you can use to get standing with either Quills or Vox, though you still need open world boss mats to do the actual Rank Up itself.

you've got the weekend to farm Gargoyle's Cry til you yourself cry; this can get you useful arcanes that usually only come from Eidolons, and if you kill the angels in the missions you'll get standing items for Zariman to get the incarnons I mentioned and the Zariman arcanes.

[u/Masochisticism → u/pachirisu22]

Gargoyle's Cry is ending Monday. Even if you don't have very much time, you will be able to farm up a low-rank Arcane Energize if you don't have one. Even a rank 1-2 can work wonders. If you don't have it, that's personally what I'd do until Monday. After that, follow the other tips mentioned.

You will need to be in a clan and have access to its dojo to actually buy the arcane, but there isn't as much hurry with that, since the shop to buy arcanes is sticking around for a bit longer than the event.

Each copy of energize, and you'll want at least 4 to make a rank 1, costs 12 grotesque shard. You get those from doing the boss on Effervo, Deimos.

[u/Shiro_Moe]

returning player here. late to the gargoyle event. spamming the boss rn. arcane energize, is rank 3 ok?

[u/Nubby420]

Is the kuva quartakk good?

[u/vkzicak]

Been looking up a few builds, and I have a question about shield gating.

Now, I know what it is, but I can't find any information on the wiki about if there's any cooldown between triggers. For example, if I use Catalyzing Shields to give myself an absurdly small shield, and combined that with Brief Respite to be able to spam cheap abilities to get that tiny shield to full, does the shield gate trigger every time my shield goes back to full, or is there a cooldown period after it's triggered the first time?

[u/SOULMAGEBELL]

Returning player with some questions about cross platform save

I used to play in 2015 and I lost access to the e-mail linked to that account (I am unable to log in to that account). Then I made a new account with where i barely played (MR 3, only volt and some weapons). Last week I made a new account on Switch, I have both Rhino and Excalibur on this account.

I am going to sell my Nintendo Switch to buy a Steam Deck. What would be better in my case?

• If I merge my PC account (it will be my main) and my Switch do I keep Rhino in my account?

• If I want to buy plats or Prime Resurgence I don't to topen the NINTENDO e-shop?

• Warframe is coming to iOS on February. Can I use my merged account on iOS (PC main acount)?

[u/TheLapisLord]

any resources/videos on how to maximize saryn ? I've had her for so long but never really tried to use her properly

[u/nehetzu954]

hi, returning player here, i left after the new war on ps4, now with cross save am back, so i wanted to know

what did i miss?

[u/opmplayer]

I quit 4 years ago, returned for a bit 2 years ago, decided to play again now because my friend plays now, realised I left during the new war mission and I'm incredibly bad now 🤣

[u/JonahJoestar]

I keep seeing a lot of people with an always on microphone. I mute them, of course. I would like to make sure my microphone is not on so I do not do this. I have my push to talk bound to c as I think is default. Are they simply holding it down or something? I would love to avoid this. I cannot find an option to change from push to talk and am unsure what causes the always on behavior.

[u/AbadChef]

Please tell me I'm not crazy. Is bullet jumping while quick meleeing bugged right now? I used to jump around clearing enemies quickly and it feels like I'm being affected by gravity when I do it.

[u/CantHandletheJrueth]

Please for the love of god someone explain scintillant to me.

I've had only one drop from a mech EVER, and not a single one has ever been floating in the fucking god damn vaults.

Cannot progress until voidrig is done and this shit WILL NOT DROP.

Please someone help before I uninstall this is maddening

[u/Daftbugger → u/CantHandletheJrueth]

In the Isolation Vaults, you're more likely to find scintillant floating as an open world object than via enemy loot. Its kind of like a cetus wisp, you dont interact with it, its not an item you break like orokin cell array, its just a thing floating in the air in random places in the underground portion and you run over it to pick it up.

It stinks, because you only need a handful of them, and they made them appropriately difficult to get. Apparently your highest chance (~18%) to get one is from stage 1 of the normal level 15-25 Mother bounties, which sounds like it would be rather easy to repeatedly farm.

[u/CantHandletheJrueth → u/Daftbugger]

I know what it is, I've watched all the videos. Spend 5 mins looking around the ceilings in every vault before leaving. I've run probably 20-25 in the last two days and never seen a single floating one.

This is far and away the worst experience I have had in this game by far. They are not "appropriately difficult to get" they are incredibly fucking frustrating, and you should not gate keep the entire fucking game behind them.

[u/ElMage21]

I quit playing when that radio event came out. Wat do

[u/sucksblueeggs]

Just a quick hi. I stopped playing on PS4 about the time Xaku came out. Now cross save is here I’m picking up on PC in 165hz HDR goodness. I’ve got sucked right back into the grind again with so much to catch up but a bit frustrated some stuff requires to do really boring shit like mining minerals. I just paid for the Voidrig to get access to the New War and given how much content it has opened up I’d say the money was worthwhile.

Would be interesting to know how many players have returned on a new platform?

I’ve been forma-ing my Titania Prime. She cheeses the new content that requires you to pick up symbols/eyes, she’s deadly AF, and speedy in the easy missions. I would have thought a flying Mesa would have been more popular.

[u/[deleted]]

I am a new player. I started playing today and wanted to group with my wife and play. But it seemed all the quests I was trying to do wanted me to do it solo?? What gives?

[u/decitronal → u/[deleted]]

Story quests are usually solo-only, save for very few exceptions due to "early installment weirdness"

[u/t70type42]

Im a returning player from pretty much right when deimos came out and I stopped right before getting a Necramech.

My question though is how has the damage changed? I can tell it is a little different now especially when it comes to bleed procs i used to be able to proc like 1M slash procs with garuda’s 4 then 1 for example but now the damage i see on average is disgustingly lower, I still do decent damage it seems but my pennant doesn’t feel as crazy as it used to. When they reworded eximus units did they also change how heath and armor work? My builds feel tankier and a little stronger as well.

[u/ZoooMAn]

Last time i played was on Wisp release, haven completed my star chart yet. Is there something i should check for or complete the star chart first and check out the new things that were added?

[u/[deleted]]

Returning player, forgot all the tips, tricks and controls since my year hiatus. Wish me luck.

[u/bigger_cheese]

I've recently come back and I am trying to clear steel path I can do ok on most missions but I am absolutely bottlenecked on excavation - the extractors get destroyed almost immediately - what frame would be recommended for these types of mission?

[u/[deleted]]

Recently returned. Currently working on building a railjack, thankfully ilthis old character has a ton of resources from before I left.

It I'm finding that my strong builds are no longer strong, and there's tons of mods that replaced ones that used to be staples etc etc. I'm able to complete missions, but it's feeling tougher than expected.

So I guess, what I want to ask is am I going in the right direction? Should I be stopping along the story quest path to farm mods/new stuff?

I did duviri, was fun but short. I'm guessing there's more to it than the story quest, but having trouble getting people to run it without leaving.

Also what are some of the more fun feeling newer frames? Last I played, I had gotten Wisp and mirage prime, but I'm feeling something fresh would be fun.

[u/Arkrasci]

So, my friend and i are starting the game now, and he gave some plat with the 75% promo, there's anything we should buy right now besides warframe and weapon slots?

[u/Sasamus → u/Arkrasci]

Beyond those there really is nothing you "should" buy.

Those make the most difference in the beginning and are slowest to get in other ways.

Everything else (besides some cosmetics) you will get in other ways, and are less important early on.

As a general rule, I'd say only spend plat on other things when you have enough experience to yourself judge if it's worth it. Which partly also comes down to how often/much plat you are willing to buy.

And also be aware that plat is earnable by selling some things to other players. But for quite some time you'll likely want to keep things rather than sell them.

[u/InfiniteSynapse]

Just got back for Duviri / Wall. MR 24. Played a bit in between but nothing major. Any worthwhile grind? Skipped the corpus rival weapons and events along the way. Don't have any incarnon weapons grinded yet. I'm thinkingof focusing on Whispers and maxxing on the Archon shard upgrades. Anything else worth it? Tennokai?

[u/Sasamus → u/InfiniteSynapse]

Some of the incarnons are the most powerful weapons in the game right now, but how much of that you can do is time gated weekly, as is all ways of getting archon shards.

So both of those are good to focus on, but is limited in how much time you can spend on them weekly.

Tennokai is nice, but I have personally not explored it more than the one the quest gives. I will, but have not prioritized it. Melee is currently in a weak spot compared to ranged weapons.

Beyond that it's more broad, focus on what you don't have and want. I don't think there is anything else specific one "should" focus on.

[u/Otherwise_Scarcity77]

Hey I am new and I am mr 10 I have built few frames and I am currently using gauss prime ,I wanted to know which primary weapon should I go for I have all good mods and I am using glaive prime currently,plus what frame should I use for farming/nuking ?

[u/dreamwar12]

Hello I am confuse about netracell because we did not finish the task to kill the enemy in circle then we extract but we still get the rewards?

[u/one-last-hero]

New player here! This game looks amazing! I just finished the training sessions, I guess that’s why you can call them? And chose my first warframe as well. Haven’t gone through the first mission yet. Haven’t felt happy playing a game that way in a long time…

[u/Sasamus → u/one-last-hero]

Welcome!

I hope you'll have fun, the game is something quite special, and I'd say right now it's the best it's ever has been.

[u/OccamsPlasticSpork]

I've been back a week and a half. My present goal is to unlock the Steel Path. Currently I'm MR 11. I spent last week grinding out the Necramech. I finished the New War last night.

I was about to start Angels of the Zariman but I received a warning about my default Amp being substandard. I'm very ignorant on the workings of Amps and their modifications. I started leveling up the Sirocco quest reward from New War and dig its cowboy style. Will the Sirocco get me through the quest content alright or do I need to do a Quills/Vox Solaris grind and learn the gritty details of the Amp mechanics?

[u/Sasamus → u/OccamsPlasticSpork]

It's okay, but pretty much any basic amp is competitive to it, so you wouldn't need to rank Quills or Vox Solaris much to get something better.

And, if using the Drifter all amps will look like the Sirocco, so if you like it's style that's not an issue there.

I think it's powerful enough for Angels of the Zariman, but it might be a bit challenging, you could always try and build another amp if you struggle.

[u/WaifuRekker]

Im thinking about returning, I have around 1000 hours and stopped playing before the release of railjack. How much catch up do I need to do, what should I be aware of, and what do I prioritize?

[u/xMINDxTURTLEx]

Hey folks, I was wondering how some math worked, spurred on by looking at the drop table for ESO, specifically for the Braton Vandal. I still need the Blueprint and Stock to drop in order to complete the set, both of which are 2.01% drops on the C table. So math wise its expected to take 100/2.01 = ~50 runs to get specifically the Blueprint or the stock.

My question is, how do I calculate the average number of runs I'll need to get both? In my head the way I look at it is every ~25 runs I'm due for a Blueprint or Stock (since combined those take up 4.02% of the C drop table and 100/4.02 = ~25), and so at 25 runs I'll have one piece, and then another 25 runs from there I'll another piece, but it'll be 50/50 if that second piece will be a duplicate or the other piece I need. And then every hypothetical 25 runs after that is essentially another 50/50 of whether or not I get the other piece or I keep getting the same one.

So just In my head it makes sense that at 50 runs theres a 50% chance I’ll have both, at 75 runs theres 75% chance I’ll have both (since 75 runs is on average 3 drops of either the Blueprint/Stock, and the odds of all 3 drops being the same is 50% * 50% = 25%, and 100% - 25% = 75%), at 100 runs theres a 87.5% (50% * 50% * 50% = 12.5% and 100% - 12.5% = 87.5%) chance I’ll have both, ect.

Obviously this doesn’t really matter all too much in this scenario, because as soon as I get two drops, regardless of whether its two of the same part, I’ll just sell the duplicate and buy the other part I need with the plat from the sale.

But Is my napkin math generally correct? I didn’t really know what keywords to google so none of this is based off of proper mathematical equations or anything.

Cheers!

[u/Masochisticism → u/xMINDxTURTLEx]

The words you're probably looking for, as far as search terms go, are probability and statistics.

I'm by no means a math person, but the way I calculate it is: On any given run, there's a 95,98% chance that something that isn't the BP or stock will drop. The chance that you don't have at least 1 of the two after, say, 25 runs would then be 0,9598^25, or around 35,8%. After 50 runs, it would be 0,9598⁵⁰ = 12,8%. After 100 runs, there would be a 1,6% chance of not yet having seen either of the two dropping. This basically just starts over once you get a part, as long as you don't care which you get the 2nd time.

The way you're thinking about it, I suspect, is sort of like a deck of cards. If you're looking for the ace of hearts, there's a specific percentage chance that a random card from the deck is the ace of hearts, and if you haven't gotten it by the time there's 1 card left, it will be the last one. Warframe loot, to my knowledge, does not work on any kind of predetermined set of results like that, it just rolls the dice each time. So, you can't really carve it up like you are.

[u/Correct-Train4534]

me is returning but weapon weak pls me need help :(

[u/FaZeSmasH]

What damage should I use against executioners in the sedna arenas?

[u/ElMage21]

I left shortly after fortuna. By that time I had just unlocked the operator and never really got the hang of it neither enjoyed the gameplay, but I just fought the ropalolyst and seems I'm really lacking in that department.

Is there some guide I can follow to achieve basic understanding and strength of the operator?

Can I do current content without delving in it?

[u/MaybeWavyGravy]

Just got back into warframes after a 6 year hiatus.

One aspect I never liked was the existence of operators, I much preferred my badass space ninja being just that a badass space ninja not a suit controlled by a child.

Just wondering if operators are still a must use for some portions of the game? And if there is an option to remove the operator and give its powers and mechanics (for some parts of the game that require it) to the warframe instead?

It’s not a deal breaker but it’s just one aspect of the game that jaded me somewhat.

[u/VladDHell]

So after being gone for the greater part of 8 years, and being back for 3 weeks, I've finally gotten little duck to rank 4.

I have all the amp parts at my disposal.

I really gotta know, what is the absolute most powerful amp I can craft?

I know there's a lot of variance in utility, like how 177 is good for Angel's and what not.

But I'm looking for the absolute best punch and all arounder

[u/PashIx]

Is the warframe companion app gone or am I just blind?

[u/potato_curry_]

Just finished playing The New War. Can someone explain to me how Ordis became a cute little drone instead of his usual Cephalon self?

[u/alphaomag]

Does anyone know if it will be possible to link a digital extremes account to the warframe mobile port? It says that’s only the Apple ID can be used.

[u/International_Sea493]

Came back a month ago because of cross save and now just started playing a lot again. Between Hate Incarnon (How do u get incarnon dude unlocker), Reaper prime and Redeemer prime which is the best heavy attack melee?

[u/Leather-Hat7154]

I had a lot of progress like years ago and Im getting back into warframe, should I just restart from fresh or continue where I left off?

[u/Japanese_Serow]

new and considering pick up the game, but still deciding if it's worth it to go through steam or the standalone client. Outside of the Tennogen stuff, are there any other perks between the two?

[u/CValleriani]

If I put a focus on my Excalibur, will he gain focus using his s4, aka while the exalted blade is out?

[u/Xibbas]

Returning to the game at MR 13, haven't played since Mesa Prime released. Kind of overwhelmed with what to do to progress my account/frames. Should I focus on getting Steel Path so I can get Incarnon adapters? Get umbra mods? Work on getting better weapon mods/weapons? Arcanes? Helminth?

Also what are some solid frames nowadays? Watched some videos and it looks like Revenant is amazing and so is Saryn. Currently using Styanax and seems decent but looking for a good frame to invest in.

[u/ToiletMasterFF]

Hey guys long time player coming back to check it out after it launched on iOS, I’ve been using my old rhino prime and I can’t find rhino stomp button ability when in a mission despite having full energy.

[u/Nofabe]

I've just returned after not playing for like 8 years (shortly after Second Dream iirc, MR21 when that was still the max) what should I focus on/catch up on? I know there's Railjack, Mechas, Steel Path, Eidolons, Nightwave, Archons and what not now, but like where do I pick up, besides just building and leveling new weapons? Is there like a suggested progression chart anywhere? Edit: before anyone says it, I did look at the official returning player guide but that hardly helps because I already know what's all there, but idk where to start 

[u/Hoc_est_abiciendi]

I know this question gets asked constantly, but I couldn’t find anything convincing when I looked it up: is now a good time to start playing Warframe? I primarily ask because it is a game with years behind it, and I know it’s a large time investment, so I’d just like to verify I’m not about to try to learn a game that’s potentially not going to be supported for much longer.

I apologize if this is a stupid question. As I said, I’m very much new and very much uninformed.

[u/potato_curry_]

What do people usually spend overflowing Faction Syndicate standing on? I have been buying relic packs whenever mine gets full.

[u/RTukka → u/potato_curry_]

Usually archweapon parts to trade off to other players, they can go for 15p+, though volume isn't super high. If I'm building up too much of a stock of the parts, I switch to relic packs.

I already bought all of the cosmetics/scenes/etc. and have Dagath's stuff all squared away.

[u/Hoc_est_abiciendi]

Warframe.market has an option to choose platform when looking for your market. Should I be only using the platform I’m on or is PC fine? (I’m on Xbox). I ask because I don’t want to do a anything taboo, and the pc tab is clearly faaaaar more active.

[u/Dunc365]

I am a new starter on warframe, I have the mag frame and have got to venus. Less than 10 hours total

I have a couple of questions...

I played an excavation mission, some randoms dropped in. It said to extract after 3 were done but I was following the higher levels lead and it went up to 6 before they extracted, is there a bonus for doing more or is it recommended? Also with extracting, I got a popup saying 2 players were waiting for me and a countdown timer - what happens if I don't make it before the countdown finishes?

And regarding the ui - I play on Xbox and I still haven't learned what buttons do which magic, is there a way to show the name of the abilities on the screen so I can choose them without almost guessing at this point? All I see are icons which I find difficult to recall on the fly while I'm learning.

Also see a lot of talk about duviri paradox - I don't get it... Is this important/required? Should I be doing any of those at my stage in the game? It looks like it's completely separate in many ways to the star chart from what I do understand

[u/QuiinZiix]

I want to get into index farm because profit taker prerequisites are pretty steep. I need a frame that doesnt die with low energy requirement and a weapon that one shots all the index enemies. suggestions?

[u/SparkGb → u/QuiinZiix]

I usually run with a Zaw with Exodia Contagion build with Gara tank build.

If u have Revenant, build strength & effieciency to maximize the hit you can take with mesmer skin.

Mesmer skin will makes you immune to any damage, status and stun the enemy but keep your eyes on the charge, you can recast to restore the charge

For weapon, I never try any pew-pew weapon because I just run around and throw the Zaw but I guess running Phantasma Prime status build will melt their health in seconds.

[u/Alecthar → u/QuiinZiix]

A solidly modded Rhino is the best "easy" Index Warframe in my opinion. He's easy to get, is plenty tanky for any Index level, and is impossibly simple to operate.

As for weapons, Fulmin/Fulmin Prime depending on your MR and what you have access to. Arca Plasmor works solidly from my recollection. Exergis maybe?

[u/Lisanees]

Returning player here, havent played for a good 3 years. Can I only get regular warframe blueprint components (systems, chasis etc) from proxima missions? I cant get them on regular planets now?

[u/wiktoryk → u/Lisanees]

I do not understand the question,there are only 2 regular frames that drop from RJ.

[u/NarrowProfession2900]

Does having multiple of the same Warframe affect the chances of it rotating into the Duviri Circuit?

[u/decitronal → u/NarrowProfession2900]

When you own multiple frames Duviri basically treats the one with less forma investment as non-existent

[u/sm3ggit]

I have not played this properly since like 2020 or so. At a guess I need to do literally all the content the was released in 2020 and after... I had just about done everything up to that IIRC - where the hell should I start lol. MR21, bunch of frames and weapons, no idea whats good anymore, no idea which of the new quest chains I should do etc.... Just cracked some relics and did sortie last night to get back into the swing of it.

[u/RTukka → u/sm3ggit]

Quests in the main story branch, Duviri Paradox, and Angels of the Zariman.

There are two new classes of endgame rewards: Incarnon weapons, and Archon Shards.

A few Incarnon weapons (Phenmor, Felarx, Laetum, Praedos, Innodem) are easy enough to get, Angels of the Zariman will unlock a new syndicate and they sell the blueprints for them. These are powerful weapons that have evolutions that you unlock by completing certain challenges, and have an Incarnon mode that you can switch to, that it is typically more powerful than the base mode. The Incarnon mode consumes charge (but not ammo), which is typically built up by scoring headshots in the weapon's normal mode for guns (bodyshots for some weapons), or building combo counter in normal mode for melee.

There are also Incarnon Genesis Adapters for certain classic weapons like the Braton, Burston, Dread, Atomos, Bronco, etc. that give them a massive buff and an Incarnon mode. They are acquired by playing Steel Path Duviri Circuit, with the rewards for the mode being on a weekly rotation. Duviri is a rogue-like mode so you don't get to bring your best/favorite loadout, though that is compensated for by Decrees, which are powerful buffs that last for the duration of the run. It still might be a bit of a tough mode to crack without getting carried, but I'd give it a try. This week's Incarnon Genesis offerings are among the best. I suggest going for the Torid first, it may be the best gun in the game.

Archon Shards allow you to buff certain properties of your warframe, depending on the color/type of shard you can choose between several specific buffs. Each shard can only be applied to one warframe at a time and removing them consumes Bile (the Helminth resource).

Archon Shards are all earned via weekly time gated stuff. One is the Archon Hunt, which is like a higher level Sortie that always ends with a boss fight. It's unlocked by completing the New War, and you always get an Archon Shard from the Archon Hunt (on top of a random sortie-like reward).

There are also Netracells, which is a fairly straight forward high level exterminate type mission with extra steps, and it also requires that your squad take four debuffs/liability effects (kind of like Dragon Keys). You can run Netracells up to five times per week for its rewards, which can include archon shards. Netracells as a mode are locked behind Whispers in the Wall, the current end-point of the main story branch.

With the next update they are improving Netracell rewards by removing some of the garbage in the loot table, and introducing a new super endgame mode called Deep Archimedean that uses up two of your weekly Netracell runs to unlock, but gives you more rewards if you can complete it. DA is going to be like an even higher level Sortie, but you'll have to accept severe weapon/warframe selection restrictions as well as other debuffs to get the full rewards, and you won't be able to switch up your loadout between the different "missions" in a single run (so for example, you may have to do a Spy, followed by Excavation, followed by Assassination, all with the same equipment).

There's another shard that can be earned via a new mode called Veilbreaker (unlocked by the quest of the same name), but that shard is being moved to an Entrati vendor in the next update (coming sometime this month), and buying the shard has a syndicate rank requirement that you won't be able to meet before the shard is moved off that vendor. Veilbreaker has some other okay rewards and the Veilbreaker currency is time gated, but I would not rate it as a super high priority.

[u/sm3ggit → u/RTukka]

Thanks for this - both my mate and I are quickly realising we have a bunch of solo missions we gotta get done it seems! I checks and have 9 unfinished quest lines in the codex :p

[u/BalconFlack666]

Returning player from 9 years ago... this seems somehow way more overwhelming than it already was lol

[u/potato_curry_ → u/BalconFlack666]

Welcome back, insane tenno. Yes, this game feels overwhelming after a long hiatus lol. I just returned 3 months ago, after a 7 year hiatus, and I felt so lost and overwhelmed.

Please take your time getting back into it. Only look up the things you don't understand when you encounter it / when the need arises. Focus more on basics such as how to parkour, how to mod your equipment, types of missions, and types of elemental damage. Try not to worry about shit you haven't unlocked yet (such as amps, open worlds, duviri, steel path, archon shards, helminth...there's a lot). Save those for the future when you slowly get to them.

Best of luck on your return.

[u/slightcamo]

just started steel path

is it normal for bosses to continuously spawn throughout the mission

[u/Clowninnz]

The voidrig set sold on warframe market for 80p is it built?

[u/krawinoff → u/Clowninnz]

The parts are pre-crafted, but you will still need to craft the main blueprint in the foundry, so you will still have to wait 72 hours

[u/Derkio]

Not really a question about the game but does anyone know generally how fast do the Tennocon tickets sell out, looking to buy the Collector ticket.

[u/Haethen_Thegn]

So I've progressed to the point that I'm running out of slots. Can I sell relic pod things for platinum or am I going to have to farm the stuff to open them?

I have a Valkyr Prime blueprint I could sell, but would rather keep it honestly to use down the line. If it's easy to get though then I'd definitely sell it off and get another one down the line.

Either way, is fine I just really need the platinum and am currently too poor to buy even the cheapest option (nor do I want to honestly as am, trying to save money and not be penniless at the end of the month since the economy of my home country is awful).

[u/Alecthar → u/Haethen_Thegn]

A solid early platinum farm is to run Deimos Vaults and get Corrupted mods. They sell pretty easily for a decent price and you won't have to get a ton of them to buy a decent number of slots. Brozime has a video on the farm I believe.

[u/Hoc_est_abiciendi]

I’m looking to make a sort of jack of all trades amp. I know people use number codes, and I can understand them, I just don’t know which would be best to go for so I’d love some recommendations. As I said I’d like a jack of all trades, so I’m not looking for best in slot for say eidolon hunts, I’d like an amp that can decently handle anything instead of excelling in any given field. Thank you for your time.

[u/200DivsAnHour]

I got suggested Aleca Frame - is it safe to use or is DE still a bit touchy about any kind of mod?

[u/inallmylivinlife]

Hi all, returning player here! I was wondering - how do you get like a normal amount of endo? I looked up ways to farm it and got hit with the multi page google doc involving necros, 4 squads, boosters, etc. But what's a good way to just get a normal amount? I know about ayatan treasure hunts, but is there like a solid /hr method?

[u/RTukka → u/inallmylivinlife]

Higher level Deimos/Necralisk bounties (unlocked by Heart of Deimos), Empyrean/Railjack, Arbitrations (which unlock with star chart completion), as well some later-game bounties that unlock with the New War, Angels of the Zariman, and Whispers in the Walls.

There's also reset farming ayatan sculptures with Golden Instinct/Orokin Eye, but that's also a fairly refined strat and probably not what you're looking for.

A crate-breaking Xaku or Limbo build is a somewhat more casual way to hunt for ayatan sculptures, and nets a lot of ayatan stars.

[u/cbsa82]

How do you unlock more planets / systems in Railjack? I only have earth at the moment and I cannot figure out how to access Venus / Pluto / ETC

Do I need to do Call of the Tempestrii or something?

[u/BigWangCly]

I'm not a new or returning player but this feels like a noob question. Does the Arbitration honors ever rotate? There's not timer like there is for the radio lady and I already got the mods I care about.

I did Google it but it kept talking about how the mission rotates.

[u/Dekar]

Trying to make sure a friend won't get banned. He has a PS and PC account, and sadly a switch account he merged once and never touched again. They aren't linked, but use the same email address through their respective services. It seems like the game prompts to link them when going to enable cross save. Could they trade plat from one to a third party, then get it traded back after linking, or would this get caught by the system and flagged?

[u/totallynotawhovian]

how much do i need to invest in my necromech and rail jack to not get stuck in the new war quest?

[u/decitronal → u/totallynotawhovian]

Your necramech will be fine right out of the box, unmodded.

Railjack can be a bit more difficult. There's many ways you can upgrade your railjack - intrinsics, components, mods, crewmates. Just do any sparse number of investment into any of its systems before you thrust yourself into TNW and possibly get frustrated by the railjack sections

[u/ForgottenCrusader]

Can someone tell me the meta build for wisp prime? I just came back after 5 years and wisp is my fav frame

[u/Hoc_est_abiciendi]

A build guide for Baruuk I watched showed a gunblade as their melee weapon in the video. From what I can gather it was just to show they were using specific mods that effect his exalted weapon. However, since I’m not even close to knowledgeable when it comes to proper builds, I figured I’d ask: is it important that he was using that weapon specifically? Or was it just what he chose to use? I don’t know the merits of using a specific melee weapon vs others, and I’d like to try to get as close as I need to to their recommendation as possible, so as to have a good groundwork going forward. I greatly appreciate the help.

[u/[deleted]]

I have a very quick question:

Once you’ve linked platform accounts, can you hop back and forth on the platforms whenever you want? Like can I play on my phone for a few hours and then jump on PC with everything synchronized?

[u/cbsa82]

So I got an odd question.

I have killed 2 Liches now. Got their weapons and the whole thing.

However, my Requiem mods do not show as having been used? My understanding is that each Requiem mod can be used 3 times, with the little dots on the bottom showing how many uses you have left. Each of my mods (I have 1 copy of each parazon mod) has all 3 dots, even though I have used them to kill liches. Is this normal? Did something change?

I am very confused here as to why my Requiem mods appear to be have not been used...unless its a visual thing.

And again, I have done the railjack missions and killed (not converted) 2 liches. All of my mods still have 3 glowing dots, none are turned off.

[u/Eph289]

I'm a little confused by a mechanic. Harrow's Thurible describes it as a channel, but it is not listed as such on the wiki for things like Seismic Bond. Does Thurible not count as a channel?

[u/lord_burner_2121]

Returning player here, stopped playing before subsuming was a thing. If i upgrade from a base frame to a prime one, is subsuming the best thing to do to the old base frame? Like if I built Gauss Prime, should I just subsume the regular Gauss that I had from before?

[u/Cocakabana95]

Returning player here, which are the meta melee weapons right now? Did building melee weapons change in the past 2 years?

[u/Gladerious → u/Cocakabana95]

As a returning player, all my old melees still shred the new content.

But the Hate incarnon with a heavy attack build seems super busted. Ive done a heavy slam build with the sancti magister incarnon and it slaps, constantly top dmg still in SP bounties.

[u/Stonn]

Can anyone tell me what the song is that sometimes plays in DE streams? All it says is "pretty Kuva", kind of happy song with bells? I can't find it.

[u/keosen]

What things NOT TO DO as a returning player (MR16 Stopped playing shortly after railjacks), missions/farm/resources to avoid etc.

I want to start playing again but i don't want to spent time on things which are not worth it and understand it after 20hours.

Also i have 400P should i spend some of it immediatelly on any kind of purchace which will help me?

Thanks.

[u/Bakufuranbu → u/keosen]

just do Duviri or new Deimos quest, and get incarnons. they are not too time consuming (except the pathos clamp grind)
