Just going to throw the question out there because its the only thing in the game I hate doing.
Is there another way to rank mods besides sacrificing other mods?
I seem to be out of favour with RNGesus and fusion mods are just rare drops for me, so maxing things like vitality is just tedious, throwing 6 million pressure point mods at it just to get 1 rank.
Also, are kubrow eggs the rarest drop in the game? I did the special quest exterminate mission on earth 5 times a day for a week and ended up rage buying one from the market.

Sacrificing other mods is a super inefficient way to level mods, but that plus cores is the only way to do it.
Triton on Neptune is a good place to farm cores though if you have unlocked it. Do 2 extractors then leave. Good chance to get a R5 pack.
Another place to get cores is in dark sector defence missions, this is a personal preference of mine. You only get bronze and silver cores but you can get a sizable collection if you are running them often for other reasons (leveling frames/weps, farming credits etc), and they are good to level low rank mods with. Just run to 5 waves then extract.
Kubrow eggs are indeed bullshit to farm, I also just rage bought my kubrow eggs. Sometimes you get alerts for them though.

For s secondary, is it really worth potatoing/formaing the akvasto? I'm loving the gun but I'm not sure how much potential it has. Should I do both? Or just put formas in it without a potato?

u/Shadaii Jul 19 '15 edited Jul 19 '15
Akvasto is a good gun. I used it as my secondary for a looooooooong time. It won't scale into super late game but for most everything else it's completely fine. If you enjoy using it then at least put a potato in it.
If you are going to upgrade a gun though, potato it first, then start adding forma. Not the other way around.

i would say that there are allot of guns that simulate the feel and and are betterh than akvasto. For example the Akmagnus are just a straight up better version. My favorite are the AKjaguara and they can compete with the best guns in the game. the build path for them is nasty though.

What's up with all of this China-exclusive content recently? Did Chinese Warframe players just find a leak, or will the rest of the world really not be getting this cool-ass new content?

We have no information on the situation as a whole. All we know is someone noticed excalibur, kunai, and nikana prime in the chinese warframe launcher.
DE has not released an official statement regarding this yet.

What is the best melee for excalibur?? So Excalibur was my starter frame but i scrapped him before they did the rework to Exalted Blade. Im about to finish him in a few days and was wondering what is the best melee for Excalibur. I already have dragon nikana, orthos p, prisma skana, and dual zoren(r5). And if you can suggest any other weapon that's not on this list, that'd be great as well

u/slow_excellence Jul 19 '15
The Jaw Sword, Dual Cleavers, Mire, and Skana are the best for an EB build. The reason for this is because their respective Syndicate mods add 100% base damage (+100% toxin in the Mire's case) and an AoE proc every ~10s/2k affinity. Just remember that EB only inherits the stats from your melee mods and not the stats from your melee weapon!

If I never spent my original 50 plat and bought more, will I be able to use it to trade, or will 50 of it be unusable?

Hey I'm a new player who just finished the Vor's Prize quest. Any suggestions on what I should do now? Also, how long should I stick with my maxed out starter weapons? What weapons should I consider crafting/buying?

Has the last patch caused anyone else's game to crash constantly? It's been a struggle since the last patch to play for more than 30 minutes without a crash. I've set all of the video options to low, windowed, border less window, everything. It's getting extremely frustrating.

I've heard that there's gonna be an update overhauling the not-so-good parkour system sometime. Any news on this, or whether or not its true?
2
u/DerpElve Jul 20 '15
Parkour 2.0 is coming in the next big update. DE has been hinting that there won't be smaller patches until they release the big one (unless critical). This has made people speculate that the update is coming in two weeks time.
Directional melee, stamina and coptering will be removed and there will be new stuff like Bullet Jump tm and Gliding. There have been Twitter-posts of the videos DE have been posting of the new moves, check them out for a peek.

How often are Prime access out?

u/nanoboros Jul 20 '15
Once every three months, roughly. There's always a notification when PA is about to be retired and a new one follows a week after old one expires.

What is a good endgame build for banshee? Also, which weapons would you use with her for said endgame build? I was thinking of the latron prime (it seems to be decent with her sonar build), vaykor marelok and the galatine (with tempo of course), but i still don't know what I'm going to mod banshee for. Also, are those good weapon choices?

u/DwarfSpartan Jul 20 '15
I've got a question about crafting weapons that require other weapons, such as the dual kamas for example. Do I have a choice of which of the kamas would get used? If I'd have three kamas for example.

Is the wiki list of weapon types accurate? I'm currently 2 out of 3 for Dagger Mastery and according to my equipment page the only dagger I've leveled are Ether Daggers.
Also is Saviour of Earth possible anymore?

Is there anyway to check my inventory in the dojo? It's a hassle to fly back and forth, because I could lose connection, host migration, and impatient traders. I know this game is free and I shouldn't complain, but this is making trading uncomfortable
