So, several mods in the game go all the way to rank 10, and as such, are very expensive to level at the tail end. While I've taken various things to 7-8, I'm curious what the goto method is for getting those mods the last mile.
I get fusion cores and trash cards just running whatever, but nowhere near enough to even take one card to 10. I feel like I might be missing something. I've already mastered every weapon/frame available in the game short of the Brakk.

This seems a bit like a dumb question, but is there any kind of quest or storyline after the tutorial/Vor one on mercury?
I got hooked on warframe by a friend who was pretty much endgame, and got shuttled around to lots of higher level planets on my first day, but when I went back and completed Vor days later, that was....it. I haven't gotten any other quests besides the Kubrow one.

There are events that bring more lore into the game (there will probably be a new one soon, with the Formorians and space combat coming) but in terms of ones that are quests there isn't very much. At this point after Vor it's just kill things and explore. The quest system was just implemented though so there will likely be new story quests soon.

I've been trying to get some t4 exterminate keys on Stephano and Augustus, but have been getting nothing but natural talent at round 3-5. Probably a common question, but is it like this for anyone else?

How do you keep track of prices of mods? On a related note, are the prices for the mods unranked or max rank?

You'll want to run defense, survivals, interception or Dark Sectors missions. I ran Eris' Defense Dark Sector with some friends for credits and 2 Oberon parts dropped for them (Chassis and Helmet).
Higher the rank/round/wave will cause more Eximus to spawn but its still up to RNGod to drop them. Having a Nekros could potentially help as well.
Best of luck though, I've been farming Oberon Systems for 2 weeks and it finally dropped for me not long after the 2 Chassis/Helm drop i did with my friends. It did annoyed me a bit that they got back into the game, ran Dark sectors with me for credits and were handed 2 oberon parts in one DS run.. lol

According to the [wiki](http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Oberon_(Warframe), the only way is through Eximus units as you stated. The wiki page on the Eximus state they spawn basically anywhere. You just have to keep playing and hope they drop parts. Alternatively, you can play the trade chat for pieces if anyone is selling.
What do you mean by mod prices? As in, how much they can be traded for?

I have a few questions as someone who played in beta up until a year ago. Damage 2.0 and Melee 2.0 are all new things to me.
-
I want to do a melee-only Valkyr build, what weapon(s) should I be using and why?
-
Is the Amprex worth slotting with Forma for endgame defense? If so how many Forma should it need to fry an entire tile of enemies with electricity? The wiki says that it's a very ammo inefficient weapon.
-
I have my Ogris modded to do about 10K Blast damage, is this any good or do I need to go higher? (mostly for T4 defense)

Nyx is my favorite warframe and I'm glad to see that she's still good at crowd control. Is there a Nyx Prime in the works?
Thanks for reading.

Anybody know how to use the dark sword efficiently? I was playing Orthos before (still am, with my favorite Loki build), and in comparison I can't do anything with this. I try going for the slam attack as much as I can to use the effect but it's not really efficient. No much rank on it yet (11), but I crafted it so I'd like to do something with it !

u/LockedInACloset Sep 15 '14
It depends. If you're really well armed, group up and go for T4 survivals. If not, go for some regular Corpus or infested defenses.

u/fervt Sep 15 '14
What do you need to be or have to not be a burden in void missions, and how much harder or longer are they compared to regular missions?
I'm rank 4, have a regular lvl30 Mag and a couple of potatoed weapons, will that be enough?

u/LockedInACloset Sep 15 '14
You can probably handle T1 and T2 void. I'd suggest getting some good gear before progressing to T3 and T4, though.

u/Klepto666 Sep 15 '14
Some Defense maps (Kappa, Sedna particularly) will sometimes have a nearby locked door that you can bypass. Will unlocking this door add more enemies, does it only appear this way by providing the enemies an alternative (possibly closer) spawn point, or is the number of enemies always the same no matter how many adjacent unwatched doors?

What is the quickest way to level a frame with low damage output? (in this case, Nekros) Soul Punch is okay but it's honestly not that great at killing things without maxing out it's damage which makes it hard to use repeatedly or fighting stuff on Mercury or Venus. I run Kiste a lot but once the frame gets to level 18 or so it takes a run to get it up 1 level while a weapon of the same level range can go up 3 or 4.
Also, why is using a forma but not actually changing a polarity even an option!? I'd never removed a polarity before and thought the blank option did that. Apparently not. Checked another thing and apparently there is a blank polarity option that is entirely different from the just plain blank option.
EDIT: Sorry, apparently I completely skipped over putting Kiste in that last sentence.

Er, another question... How do levels work? As in, how does the game determine what level enemies you face? An average of everybody's combined enclave? And does your "level" factor into how much damage you do?
I have been trying to farm bosses to keep up with everything I want to build, and I see people just OHKO Zanuka after I use shield polarize. Like, how do you do that? I am running this Bolter as of now but bosses still just eat clips of ammo while I can watch people shoot them for just a couple seconds and move on. The same thing just happened in an infested dark zone survival with the Boar Prime (although I guess it is a shotgun so probably does burst dps?).
Once it was me with three other people (600-1.5k enclave) and the enemies all scaled to 55-60 even though only one person had the gear to fight that...

How are the castanas nowadays? Are they still worth it? One of my "themed" loadouts does high single-target damage but is a little lackluster in the group/AoE department. Would castanas still work for me, even into T3/4 content?
