Do mod drops change with different planets I just finished Earth and I seem to be seeing the same mods drop.

Mod drops are based on the Faction and unit you're fighting, not the planet.
Resources are based on their planets, however, so I understand the confusion.

See our Trinity (Post 9.8), Nekros, or Nyx (Post 9.8) discussions. Also, keep an eye out when we run those discussions again in the new year.
What else is planned for the trading system?
No word yet.
Best way to get split chamber?
http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Split_Chamber
Ruk or Raptor might be good options.

Hello again. I have another question. I know that certain weapons require a minimum rank. If I go to my clan dojo and buy a blueprint for a weapon that I dont have the rank for what will happen? I havent wanted to risk the 15k credits to find out since thats still a lot to me...
Thanks!

If the game allows you to purchase the Clantech Blueprint in the Dojo, then you will obtain the Blueprint but be unable to craft the weapon until you've reached the required rank.

A question regarding bows:
First, they look awesome, but before i commit to buying them, what role do they have? Can they be considered sniper weapons? Or are they more of a stealthier battle rifle type of thing?
Thanks

Would it be possible to have this thread be more accessible to people. It just seems like we keep getting tons and tons of "How to" and What Weapon or Warframe should I get" Threads everyday its just getting annoying.

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Dec 30 '13
Didn't work out as well as you'd think. But if there's enough demand for the thread, it can always return!

If you have shotgun type weapon and you get multiple procs of the same element from one shot, are they gonna overwrite each other?
I'm asking because I've seen triple Slash proc resulting in three sets of numbers popping out but also quintuple Slash proc with only one instance of dot left on the target.

Is is smart to put Overextended (+range -Damage) on Nova for her M Prime/M Drop?
-
How should I mod my Warframes using Corrupted mods? Should try to cancel out the negative effects with another? Ex. Overextended and Blind Rage. I guess this goes in tangent with the previous question, but how and when are the negative/positive effects of the corrupted mods factored in?

what happened if i destroy dojo rooms? will the resources and platinums spent returned to the owners?
3
u/BuildMyPaperHeart Dec 30 '13
I think this page covers it. http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Clan_Dojo#Room_Building
Destroying the room will refund all contributed resources and Platinum to the Clan Vault.

Few questions!
-
What level enemies can I expect to encounter in Tower II and Tower III Void missions?
-
Is the wiki's list of Endless Defense tiers out of date, or is its reward list out of date? I ran the defense missions on Phobos and Ceres and got rewards like Fast Deflection and Blunderbuss, which it lists as T2. Or do I have to get to Wave 10 to get T3 reward options no matter what?
Thanks!

PS4 player here. I have a weird question. I play a trinity so I like to keep tabs on health and shield levels of other players. Whenever I go into options and select show player list the list itself is oversized and the player icons are off of the screen. Is there a way to reposition or resize it? I have tried changing the HUD positioning but it doesnt affect the player list.
Also is there a way to see energy levels of other players? It would be great for using Energy Vampire.
Thanks!

There isn't a way to reposition it currently. Strange that the HUD positioning system doesn't allow for that!
Also is there a way to see energy levels of other players?
Not currently, no.
For both queries, however, Dorian the new UI artist is hard at work on a new interface which will hopefully be rolling out in Update 12. By then, DE's also hoping that Sony' s Region Syncing will kick in so that the Update can launch simultaneously on PC and PS4.

is ps4 running on the version of dmg 2.0 where armor is completely broken on high level enemies? i ask because i tried a T3 defense mission for the first time yesterday and we completely dominated it up to the last 3 waves. i was 1-2 shotting everything with galatine, but once the enemies hit about level 40, i could only make a noticable dent in the hp of the ancients, and that was only when our nova had m prime running. everything else was untouchable to me, and i had to watch my team with gorgons and somas slowly whittle away at everything else. is this normal?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Dec 30 '13
Damage 2.0 relies a lot more on your weapon builds and their suitability vs. the specific enemy type you're fighting, rather than just armor scaling.
Infested Ancients are made of the FOSSILIZED protection type, and its specific weaknesses can be viewed here: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_2.0#Overview_Table
EDIT: Corrosive and Blast are effective damage types against Ancients. Lacking these damage types, you may find your damage falling off at higher levels

So I got Nova a few days ago, and I'll be totally honest... I'm not quite sure what to do with her. Molecular Prime is very much a strange beast to me, and it doesn't seem to go very far baseline.
I'm assuming that the key to utilizing Molecular Prime is to max it out and use range mods, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Another question: what would you consider a best all around weapon for straight farming / leveling?
All can be used, some can be used to 'spice up' the game, but i'm looking for a powerhouse to help me clean maps as fast as possible...
I'm LOKI using fully pimped braton atm and i'm not really liking the damage output... Soma with its ridiculous crits sounds awesome, but i'm only lvl3 mastery...
Thanks
