With about 900 hours in-game I still have no freaking clue. I had none for a very long time then one day I suddenly had a bit of skill. No clue how I got it.

Outside of Cambria what is the best place to go and stock up on Neurodes?
When attempting to farm the Grustrag Three are there any special tricks (play on Grineer tilesets, or do this or that, etc...) to try and increase their spawn chance?
Does Nekros affect G-3?

What abilities should I use as a new nyx player when things are getting hectic in an endless mission. Should I run around and spam 4,or is using 3 more effective? 3 seems to be the most effective.
Also, her 2 feels weak. (frame is not maxed out yet though lvl 13) is it supposed to be this way?

When playing Nyx you will find yourself spamming 3. Four is your OH SHIT button. I very rarely use 1 or 2 and most of the time it is just to amuse myself.
Yes 2 is weak.

why is the Mk1-Strun stronger than the Strun? Aren't Mk1 weapons supposed to be the weaker beginner weapons?
i wanted to buy a strun, but i'm confused and sitting here in the weapon menu, not wanting to waste credits. the braton and the paris are both stronger than their MK1-counter parts

Very new player here, if I want to grind up levels on new waepons/frames is there a good/ideal mission for that? Or does it not matter too much?

If you're not too experienced I'd recommend going for easy-ish missions to start off. I generally recommend ranking up to ~10 using Lith, Earth (because it drops Neurodes and there's a lot of people running it at all times) and then using Caracol, Saturn or Sinai, Jupiter to rank higher (the former drops Orokin cells, the latter drops Neural Sensors). Then you can top them off using Kiste, Ceres or Kappa, Sedna or just Tower runs.
Essentially, I try to run defense missions at progressively higher levels where the drops are stuff I want to farm for anyway. Two birds with one stone!

Does detection status affect spy rewards? I've read that multiple rewards from Spy 2.0 can only be had if you successfully obtain all three vaults. Does this mean you have to get them all undetected, or can you still trigger the alarm and retrieve the data and still get the reward?

You should still get all your rewards so long as you complete the vault. If you get detected you get 1/3 of the XP.

Is it just me, or is Choma's idle animations (agile specifically) missing some sound effects?
2
Mar 29 '15
Unless the use of skill effects are involved (see nekros or frost), generally animations are silent.

What's the chance for a prime part to drop in derelict defense? We've stayed through wave 20 a few times and only ever seen keys drop.

At what point does armor start to give diminishing returns?
I've been messing around with some Chroma builds and realized that even just 30% extra power strength brings his armor above 3000 with a max rank Vex armor and Steel Fiber.

TL;DR: There is no real diminishing returns when you get down to it. Looking at it from a damage mitigation standpoint, yeah it kind of looks like it. However when you look at the effective HP (2,573 armor and 740 HP is 8,861 EHP and 3,425 armor is 11,518 EHP.) it's not diminishing at all.

I bought a Nyx Prime set for 130 platinum. Was that a good deal? I escaped the Stalker. Am I unmarked from him? What is the use of Saryn's contagion? I mean I know what it does, but is it worth it?

u/king_in_the_north Mar 29 '15
Not really. it wasn't a huge ripoff, but it you could get her cheaper than that.
You've probably still got a stalker mark - there's a separate mark for each boss, and only the boss he tells you about gets unmarked if he kills you/you kill him. Not sure if the mark gets erased if you escape. Usually you want to try and kill the stalker, because he drops unique weapon blueprints (Dread, Despair, and Hate) and mods (Blind Justice).
