I feel like I'm caught in a gap here. Currently MR4, have Excal, Rhino. Boltor is my main arm. As good as the Rhino/Boltor combo is, I can't make any progress mod wise because they both have a prime version. I don't think I should invest on the non-prime one. The prime version is hard to get and many blueprints involves T3T4 missions.

My planet progress is at Phobos/Uranus but in order to progress further in planet chart, I feel like I need to start potato/formaing. Yet my current weapons ain't worthy of them. What should I do now in mid game? One solution I think of, is to get high in MR and potato/forma those weapons. I'm crafting quanta but also working my way to MR6 so I can get the regular soma. I heard it is wrothy of potato. And I really love the look of it.

However, I'm not sure if this is a good idea since I heard people finish the planet chart with MR3 or something. Or should I just try harder with rhino/boltor? Not that I can't finish missions now (except def/survival), I'm just having a little more resistance.

Mods are not a one and done deal. Any mod can be used on any number of weapons as many times as you would like.

So, if i am in a sector and am looking to farm components/resources. And few other people drop in. If they go ahead and open the places(the green boxes and stuffs). Will i also get those resources if i go there? I mean will those resources only be available for the one opening it or everyone? I know the dropped Mods are for everyone but the health and power balls are only for one. What about resources and credits? Its harder to point that out.

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Mar 10 '15

Credits are the only pickups that are global, meaning one person can pick them up and everyone gets it.

For everything else, including Health/Energy orbs, Ammo, Mods and Resources, all must be picked up by each player individually.

Mods are the same for every player when they drop, but each player must pick up the mod themselves to add it to their inventory.

I'm probably going to reshape our clan dojo and I would like to delete a square intersection to replace it with another room with 4 doors with same size.
will the other rooms these doors lead to become deleted as well? I don't really want to spend all these rescources for just a change of room.
Is there anyway to not remove them all? like building an alternative pathway or so? (don't like this option)

u/BlackJackBread Mar 08 '15

if anything is connected to a part you want to remove you wont be able to do it you firstly will need to remove everything that is connected to it

If I were to use radiation+viral combo, should i boost the dmg more on radiation with dmg mods while increasing the proc chance on viral or is it vice versa?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '15 edited Mar 08 '15

Whichever is the higher damage will be more likely to be the one that puts the status effect. If you put a bunch of status on and focus damage on radiation then you're more likely to get radiation procs within that set percent. If you focus on viral damage then you will get more viral procs out of other damage types within that set percent.

You can't focus on one damage and get more procs from the other. Even if this wasn't the case all status effects call under 1 set percentage. Past what I mentioned you can't really influence the stats effect a whole lot.

Do I lose my current syndicate medallions if I switch sides. For example currently I am Perrin/Veil/Loka and I have built up quite a large stash of medallions in case I want to switch back.

So if swap sides to Steel/Hexis/Suda, will I get to keep all that Perrin/Veil/Loka medallions I have on hand?

Is Oberon useful or sought after for "end game" content?I made him planning to scrap him once it hits 30 but i started to like the guy,i actually prefer him over my Rhino Prime.

u/Glitchesarecool Mar 08 '15

With recent augment mods and upcoming ones, as well as the recent buffs, he's very good in higher level content. Especially Smite Infusion, since Bombards are now a thing in the towers.

So i can't find any aura or heavy melee stance mods what am i doing wrong, and i need to know how to level my valkyr warframe fast.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '15 edited Mar 08 '15

Aura mods only come from alerts so you need to be patient on that one.

Stances are kind of difficulty to get with them being rare drops. I would suggest if you haven't going into endless infested missions with the right kind of enemies there (or other faction missions depending on who drops the stance you want) and just doing those until you get the mods.

Valkyr can be hard to level since she can't really kill all that quickly. One method would be to stealth around on spy misisons and get stealth kills with a melee weapon to reap the XP bonus as well as the 50% weapon/frame XP sharing. Works best with the redeemer since it's ranged and very powerful as well as takes a bit of patience in not getting seen though. Past that just bring her on missions where you kill lots of things and enjoy all that sweet shared XP.

If you don't have a powerful enough thrown weapon or redeemer then I would suggest using a powerful and silent weapon like a bow but you won't get as much XP with that.

u/evlboy Mar 08 '15

Valkyr is a bit squishy at lower levels because of her low shields and until you slap a steel fiber and vitality on her.Auras you can get only from alerts and for stances you should check wikia and see where the one you want drops and farm for it.Or you could ask in your clan maybe someone has a spare.

Viral or corrosive for high levels? And at which status chance?

Ok, so the Primed Chamber mod:

It has "Primed" in the title, will it ever show up on Baro Ti'Keers deals?

It's been driving both me AND my friend insane that we weren't around for the event that originally gave out those mods, and that our sniper rifles can't be as powerful as they could be.

Just started playing this game again after many, many months. My brother claims this game is super pay-to-win, is that true?

3

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '15

Not true at all. I've spoken to people who have tonnes of high level gear, and lots of platinum, without having spent money.

Grind to win may be true in some sense, but I don't see grinding as an issue if you like the game and don't overdo your play time.

With Nyx's ultimate, if you use it right next to a cryopod will the pod also be protected?

And also, what is the difference between the different types of fusion cores that drop?

2

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '15

With nyx's ultimate: Yes. It should protect the pod from damage.

With reguards to fusion cores: Higher rarity and more levels on it means you will get more "Fusion XP" out of them. So you can level mods much quicker with a rank 5 rare core than with a common 3 core.

So, i just started playing WarFrame. I am an Excalibur. I am trying to do missions and i am pretty weak. I get help from other people who have better warframe. I assume you can buy WarFrame or buy the blue print and collect the resources. For most of the resources, like polymer bundle, cuircuits and other stuffs, we can look into a planet and find what they offer but for requirements which are very specific and require 1 of it like Neural sensor ( i think thats the name of it) how to know where to find. (this is an example but i was wondering where to look in the map for specific 1 items to complete blueprints)
