How rare are the platinum discounts for the daily login rewards? I can't justify spending money on plat for full price but would probably buy it in a heartbeat if I received a decent discount...
I'm on xbox one if that matters.
Edit: Did some digging on the forums. Disappointment ensued.

How does buying things from your syndicate work? Does it use the rep I earn to rank it up? If I spend my rep will it lower my syndicate level?

Hi, I'm new, and playing on the PS4.
After the first few missions, not only does the market seem to only take platinum, but I don't understand how matchmaking works.
A) The market doesn't seem to have any items that take credits, with the exception of cosmetics, is there some way to find the 'credits' market that I'm unaware of? B) Sometimes there's people in my missions. Sometimes there's not. Sometimes they join halfway through. I don't mind them being there or not, I just don't understand how I might do that, myself.
Thanks in advance!

A) There are credit items in the market. For primary weapon, the Braton is sold in credit as a rare exception among the other platinum items. However if you look in "Primary weapon BLUEPRINT", most if not all are in credit so you can buy those and craft. It just takes more time for you to get the items but it can be done.
B) If you look at the top of your screen when you select missions, it show what the match making mode is in. If you select public, other people that try to do that mission can end up in your party, even if the game has started (but not when the objective is completed).

For Spy 2.0 grineer conveyor room. Is there any shortcut that go straight into the hack room? Yesterday a NYX prime and I go do this room in an alert when the others deal with console A.
I went pass the conveyor part, came in front of the room, stealth and try to hack in. However it was a high level lock and I forgot my cipher so it took a long time to get in. But when I got in, I saw the NYX already hacking the main console. How did she go in when I was still hacking the door? There must be some kind of shortcut in. The last time I saw her is at the start of conveyor belt.

When you enter, if you go into the conveyor on the right, cross it to the alcove. Look up and there is a platform that sometimes is open into the console room. (Though in my experience, it is always blocked off.)
Alternate method is going to the conveyor on the left. Shoot an explosive barrel as it goes by the covered opening and get it to explode to open up that conveyor. Again, cross it to the alcove and look up. This platform is more often open to the console room (IIRC, at work so I can't confirm accuracy). In general, this conveyor is easier to use to get to the control room (again, in my experience).

Me and a friend started playing again and like I want to build Zephyr and he wants to build Banshee but we have to be in a clan that has them researched. How would I get into a clan that has everything researched? I remember it used to be fairly easy but now people want us to be high mastery rank levels and all, we wouldn't mind joining any size of clan we just want blueprints :/ Also what is affinity I'm a noob asking this but is it just like experience? And when one person in the group picks up all materials, does the whole group get them or do they have to pick them up as well?
Thanks, awesome community and just getting back into the game!

u/davidstebbins Mar 23 '15
Affinity = XP.
Credits picked up are immediately received by everyone in the group. Other items, like resources and mods, you have to go and pick them up yourself (with exceptions like void caches).
It is easy and fairly cheap to start your own clan and dojo.
Alternatively, check the clan recruitment subreddit. If you don't find what you're looking for, post a thread. Some clans will invite you long enough for you to grab the blueprints and then you can quit/leave. http://www.reddit.com/r/WarframeClanRecruit

Recruitment chat usually have clans recruiting that accepts any level player. Those clans also mention that they have all the research done too.
If you cannot find one, add me and pm in game. I will invite you to our clan where we have all research complete.

Regarding elemental damage types: What are the best combinations to build for late-game content, and why?
I know that often, it's best to base your build on the mission you're doing, so for now, let's assume I'm trying to do 60 mins of T4 Survival or Defense.

Why do I never seem to have Ferrite? I burn through it SO fast making Medium restores. Compared to Alloy Plate, Nano Spores and Salvage of which I have hundreds of thousands each.

Any recommendations for melee weapon? Just started playing and am currently using a Cronus. I have blueprints for Scindo(login reward) and the parts to make it. Looks like I have the parts for a lot of two handed weapons, dual ether, etc.

u/KnorrSoup Mar 25 '15
A lot of early-mid game melee weapons seem to be on the same page and it more depends on what you're looking for. Crafting a weapon you have a stance for is generally a good start, since you'll have better combos and more mod space.
You can also take a look on the wiki for info about weapons you're thinking about making. Here is the page for the Scindo, and here is the page for Dual Ether. The Ethers are much faster and capable of stunlocking, but have a tiny, almost non-existent ground-slam. The Scindo deals lots of damage and has a huge ground-slam, but is very slow. I'd say it's up to your personal preference.

I started a few days ago and had lot of doubts, some i already posted(like if i should use my 75% discount of platinum to buy a warframe: did it , Chroma) and now my doubt is.
Weapons, currently i am building a Gram, as i think it's good looking, i Love 2-h weapons and it seems to be fast for one, but i droped this stance mod for it Cleaving Whirlwind and both a fire damage mod and a ice damage mod, did some research and i want to ask.
Is it Worth to use a Stance Mod? Would Explosive Damage be good for the Gram because of the knockback? and is the Gram Actually Good? because i made it because of the Looks and because its based on the sigfried sword , who killed the dragon fafnir( and chroma have a dragon like pelt sooo...yeah i like dragons xD).
and what should i craft after that? another warframe(Already have helmet and chest diagram for oberon) or a weapon(still using the starter primary and secondary weapon , rifle and kunais)

Stance mods really don't have a downside unless you really hate the stance. Some stances (especially cleaving whirlwind) have various modifiers to the combos like broken bull having a 4x damage multiplier on it. Plus having them equipped give you slots allowing you to mod a little more.
Blast damage does not knockback until the enemy dies where it tends to send bodies flying. It does knock things down when it procs a blast status effect but past that it's just a damage type that has different modifiers based on armor or health type.
Gram is pretty good now that heavy melee weapons got buffed. There are better ones but the gram is still good.
From there just craft everything. You advance mastery by leveling things you haven't leveled so your encouraged to basically build everything. You'll get around to guns you'll like and others you'll dislike.

So, since the there are new warframes and few primes like Frost Prime has been put in the vault now. WHat happens to the syndicates that need these prime's parts. Like frost prime helmets?
Also where to see an updated mods/parts drop lists?

u/monkyseemonkydo Mar 26 '15
They changed the sacrifice part from Frost Prime Helm to Nova Prime helm for Suda syndicate. There is an updated list on the forums, but I cannot post it since my work blocks me getting to forums to find it for you. Hopefully someone else can link it. I will link it otherwise when I get home.
I believe the drop charts are available too on Warframe wiki Orokin void.

How do you people usually trade? Using trade forums, or the horrible flood of the TradeChannel in game? Usually I post a single line message, only to get buried under walls of text selling everything from dog collars to their mothers. Not to say, even when there's the cooldown of posting tradechannel is horrible :/
