[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

OniGanon, I just want to say that that was extremely informative and absolutely perfect. I've learned a lot from all of you, in fact. Thank you so much.

Later I'm going to go through and re-write the summary for other players having the same issue.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

Haha, thanks for the tips. Glad I've got speed now. Unless it sets you to a flat rate rather than taking away a percentage. The only thing that really screws me over with the infested are the drones spitting out toxin, so I've got a ranked toxic resistance for that.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

I didn't really think that I was at a power level capable of hanging to do Vault Runs. I'm having issues toughing it out in T3 unless I'm juking like a pro, and OD is the highest tier of Void missions, right? When's a good time to start looking at stuff like that? I don't really want to waste my OD and Vault keys if I'm just going to fail and die.

I think my stats are close to this:

1k Armor

50-600 HP

240? Shields w/ I think 60% shield regen

It seems like my damage and survivability start to fall off when level 30s pop out.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

I've got 4 Warframe Apps for Android including DE's official one and the wikia. I've got 15 pages of reference info written out for:

Resources by Rarity

Void Key Farm locations

Mastery Rank unlocks, XP Gains

Void Rewards by Full Item

Void Rewards by Mission

Corrupted Mods list

Derelict Defense & Survival Rewards

Stance Mods & Drop Locations

Top 3 Primary, Secondary, and Melee Weapons by Stat

Syndicates, their WF & Weapon Mods, and their Weapon & Syndana rewards

Archwing Part Locations

Best Farming Locations for UC/Rare resources

Dojo Rooms & Purposes

Dojo Research Progression

Dojo Color Locations

It's basically all wiki/codex info, but more organized for an at-a-glance reference that doesn't provide much eyesore. If anyone is interested, I'll upload.

After this thread, I think I've got all of my bases covered. Some things you just can't get out of a wiki though lol.

And like what was mentioned earlier, there are a lot of Dead Zones for matchmaking, and Recruiting is unfortunately polluted by Void missions, which is awesome since there's no public matchmaking for them, but sucks for the rest of us who need help with completing planet nodes. Not to mention that there are plenty of times of the day where it's populated by less than 10 people.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

Thank you all, this has been most helpful. I think I've got it now, aside from the Archwing stuff, which really seems Gimmicky, but a necessary evil for Limbo. I think I'm going to start working on a profiler for players to upload their loadouts, inventories, and a squad system. If anyone's interested in helping, I could use collaborators with php/mysql knowledge.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

I can help you farm Loki if you want, i have some free time right now.

I would really appreciate that! My fiance is currently on, however, I don't know when I'll get my.. turn. Would it be okay to add you?

Edit: I'd love to get Limbo, but with a limitation on what you can do to supercharge Archwings, what are your suggestions on that?

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

I've got the Carrier, as well as a Huras Kubrow. I feel that I've been spoiled too much by the Carrier's vacuum ability. That in addition to a primed Loot Radar is really helpful for farming materials and snagging cores. I admit I haven't really focused on doing much other than throwing my unused shotgun mods on him without actually levelling up anythinng other than Vacuum.

The only weapons that I don't currently have maxxed out are Dread, Hate, Gammacor, and Cronus.

I'd love to farm out Ash, because I do like his kit, but Uranus' mobs would tear Mianus. I watched a video about the Kronen which compared it to Orthos, and while not popular choice, I saw what dude was doing with it and found it personally agreeable, but I will certainly check it out.

Our Dojo is undergoing what amounted to be a week's worth of renovations due to the lack of knowledge about the whole thing, so all of our research is pretty much on hold until the guys lay everything out. I have been very interested in the marelok with it dominating statistics in Damage, Impact, and Slash.

Syndicate stuff seems like it's a whole grind on its own, and with the limitations I don't think I'll be seeing that for months, haha. I have to share a PC with my fiance until mine gets shipped over from my old residence, and I only get about 4-5 hours of play a day.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

Thank you both, those were both incredibly helpful answers. I haven't even looked at Brakk or Detron, I think I'm only missing the Soma Barrel and the Stock, the latter should be super easy, might have to wait until people would actually want me around for the Barrel, ha.

As far as Loki goes, I can't get a group for the life of me to farm out the parts even though I can drop the boss in a few seconds with Hysteria up. I got someone to help me unlock Iliad yesterday, and I think if I can find someone to help me get the Neptune Coords, I think I should already have the assassination node unlocked. I've got maxed Sprint + Slide mods on Valkyr, so it's no trouble to run through the level to get to the boss.

Also,I've got the blueprints and the Chassis for Loki Prime, and I should have 65 plat left, along with a lot of T 1-3 prime drops. I read in another thread that wftrader.net is helpful yet inaccurate for selling, and I've got some economical experience in other games, but I'm not really sure whether it would be better to list everything on the forums or WoT trade chat.

[Advice On Getting Over The Hump?]

I'm currently Mastery Rank 4, almost 5, between 600-700 conclave on two of my frames, having a little trouble getting a power spike to get to the next step.

First, I have the following Frames:

Valkyr - Atterax Crit-built w/ R5 Arm+HP, Crit-built Dread w/ R5 Serration, AkZani

Mag - I haven't touched this frame since Valkyr finished, power built w/o pull augment

Nyx - Still being levelled, I'm not even sure I like this frame yet. Having issues with bolts, first ability is single target? Frame isn't levelled enough for duration to be enjoyable. Using early missions to level, end up killing all of my controlled units anyway because there aren't enough mobs for it to be useful.

Oberon - On the way, been excited about getting this frame since I saw him

Trinity - Have one piece trying to get a group together to help me get the others

Weapons:

Primary: Dread, Cernos, MK-1 Paris

Secondary: Mk-1 Kunai, AkZani, Gammacor

Melee: Ankyros, Atterax, Cronus, Mk-1 Bo, Hate, working on Kronen

I think I have a good feel for what weapons I want to go with, and despite really enjoying Bows, they're overshadowed by automatics, and I'm missing Speed Trigger. Double crits are too satisfying to put down, though, yet it seems more statistically better to go with the following:

Puncture + Radiation Primary for Armored Targets

Impact + Magnetic/Viral for Shielded Targets

Slash + Corrosive for Flesh/Infested

I've spent weeks pouring over and cross referencing the wiki with the codex, making tables and charts, since updated guides seem to be few and far between. Most opinions on the "best" weapons, or even "good" weapons, are nothing I have immediate access to until I start trading or outright purchase them with plat. Luckily I sold almost all of my DotA2 items and got a 20% coupon for plat, so I picked up 170 and split it down the middle with my fiance.

The closest I'm getting to for statistically best weapons are the Paris Prime and AkBronco Prime, though I'm still a ways off for the AkBronco. I think my Atterax serves just fine for what I want for Melee, and what that doesn't do for me, I really enjoy what videos show the Kronen doing.

As far as Frames, it seems everyone is looking for Frost, Trinity, and Nekros. I'd like to get Loki for solo-ing, and was talked out of picking him as my starter frame way back when he was available. The closest I'm able to get is Trinity, and while I can do Phobos missions, my weapons are suck for Kril, but Vor is easy pickings for Valkyr's Hysteria. I think Nyx could really help me out on this one, but god is it difficult to pick out what the most efficient ways to get XP are.

So far, I've been farming keys out on Earth, Cambria Excavation, and doing T 1-3 Capture missions for credits and getting a decent amount of cores out of the combination.

I'm not really sure what I can do to give myself a power spike with Mag or Valkyr, and I know that Nyx is considered to be a good frame to have on a team, but I'm not really sure she's for me. Past that, her kit seems to be as boring as running D2 Necro or Druid pet builds. Just run around and mind control everyone and watch them pick eachh other off. Useful, but a fun sucker.

So, what am I doing wrong here, how misinformed am I, and what can I do right now to able to progress? Should I farm out Ember, Rhino, or when I break 5, Hydroid?

What primaries should I use to break away from bows? I love them for stealth missions, but I feel useless in Defense while everyone else runs around with their OP AoE abilities mercing everything before I can get a shot off.

What I've learned so far from this thread:

1. Karak = Soma Jr. Soma Prime is ideal.

2. Loki/Prime = Amazing Solo Potential, focus speed running tower missions w/ melee, Spy Missions for easy XP

3. Draco = 4 Waves Maxes Frame, called Dracobotting, pathetic yet effective way to play, rep farm supreme

4. Synoid Gammacor + Vaykor Marelok = Best Secondaries

5. Latron & Boltor Prime = Great Starters for Prime Weaps

6. Serration, Heavy Caliber, Dual Status, Multishot = Max weapon potency mods

7. Great Secondary progression = Lex to AkLex

8. Build Nyx around Chaos, assuming +duration +range mods (edit: Don't go dur, can't recast)

9. Mercury - Apollodorus, Saturn - Cassini = Great easily accessible XP locations

10. Warframebuilder.com good reference, considered unreliable/unfavorable however

11. Bronco/Shotguns Bad, Except on Carrier, Don't Ignore Carrier

[Low Level Void Key Farming On Survival Missions]

Hi there! Here's a list of the best farm locations if you're not looking for specific keys:

Tower I (Excavation, IIRC)

Venus - E Gate - All Types

Tower II & III (Excavation)

Earth - Cambria - All Types

Tower IV (These are all Interception missions, T4 keys don't drop on any other mission)

Mars - Augustus - Capture, Exterminate, Mobile Defense, Sabotage

Pluto & Ceres - Defense, Survival, Interception

Oggrazt is correct about Excavation giving keys faster, as you don't have to wait 15 minutes. Every extractor has a chance of giving you a key on completion, and they only take a few minutes on top of being able to defend two at once if you have a good team and CC/Mobility.

[Stalker Doesn't Show Up Enough.]

Honestly, I've gotten a Stalker appearance about once every two days if it's averaged, and I only get to play for a collective 5 hours a day, but I'm also playing with different people every mission.

[Want To Make A Online Chart Of Kubrow Breding - Meed Your Help]

I'm not familiar with Google Docs, but if you're looking for a good way to display Breeding Results, try putting your gathered info into a mysql db and use a php/html interface to retrieve it. It's extremely easy to do, and for testing the easiest way to go would be using XAMPP, which has modular features for web development on your PC.

You can even set up an input form for people to include their results and have it calculate everything automatically.

I recently moved across the country and my PC is still at my old place for the moment, but I'm experimenting with some development apps on my tablet. I'd be interested in helping you put it into a different format if you'd prefer.

Right now I'm working on an android app that's more cut-to-the-chase than what exists for crafting, farming, etc.,

[Lf Someone To Run Trinity Farm]

I'm currently Running Valkyr/Mag with Nyx still being levelled and Oberon on the way, I would like someone to help me take out Lt. Lech Kril for Trinity parts.

My problem is that my Primaries are all Bows (Max Crit Dread, Cernos, 2 Pieces left for full Paris Prime) and my secondaries are AkZani, Gammacor (not Synoid), and Mk-1 Kunai, working on getting Hikou Prime. Melee are Atterax for Valkyr Hysteria Crits, Mk-1 Bo, Ankyros, Cronus, Working on Kronen.

I already have one piece, but I'm incredibly interested in playing a supportive role for groups and would be willing to be on-call for whoever can run me for the frame pieces.

Alternatively I have plenty of Prime Parts and I'm always farming out T2-3 Void Keys and would be willing to Host Void or OD Vault Runs (I always keep Dragon Keys of every type around).

Whether you're looking to add a dedicated support to your Void squad or a good samaritan willing to help a new player, please leave me a message here or add me in-game.

Thank you! :)

Also, I'm a human wiki&Cliff's Notes combined, AMA if you're a fellow newbie or just trying to get a quick answer without having to do the research.

[Are There Any Good Whips?]

I'm currently playing as Valkyr, and as I understand what you're saying:

Scoliac = Crowd Control

Atterax = Single Target DPS

Which would mean that Atterax makes more sense since Valkyr is more of a single target nuke with her Warframe ability being more of an augment to her attacks. It doesn't really seem like anyone mentions using her AS steroid in the guides that I've read, but by estimate DPS with Atterax should surpass Scoliac on any other frame on a single target. Right?

[Dear De, Please Fix Dojo Creation]

Initial Dojo construction for the unlearned can be a huge disappointment when it comes time to re-organize, even if you're pouring Platinum into the project.

I propose a few changes and additions.

1. Add Blueprint Mode

This will allow for players to fully plan out their dojo ahead of time, giving more control to a carpenter and allow for players to construct rooms without needing planning permissions because they're already laid out. Platinum could still be used to rush builds for convenience, but it would make the whole system less of a hassle and reduce the learning curve. Not to mention that the demand for a planning tool exists higher than the up-to-date and effective ones out there.

2. Add the ability to move rooms and objects

Or a tool purchased with platinum that allows free movement (or consumable/charge-based) of such without having to deconstruct and reconstruct everything. The current system reminds me a lot of the Tower of Hanoi, constantly shifting things back and forth in the reorganization process with twelve hours in-between each move. Until you hit the snag that is prerequisite. Like Halls.

3. Reform Capacity System to be Research based

This will allow for larger halls to be built without the need for the smaller ones, while supporting the Platinum economy by trading freer creation for an added timer, which can be bypassed.

Halls can be made to look absolutely gorgeous, with the larger rooms allowing for more opulent designs. It should not be necessary to keep the smaller, less scenic areas so that these grand monstrosities can be had.

The current system contains an overabundance of micromanagement but has a huge audience, most of which do not have the godly EVE skills necessary to side-step the attributed headaches. Making the system more user friendly, or even providing a more visible system of guidance in the short term, will make everyone happier in the long run.

[Are There Any Good Whips?]

I was told by someone that Scoliac is better than Atterax. Any credit to that?

[Have Color Packs Ever Gone On Sale?]

V-Day palette is 1c, there is a St. Patty's day palette that is 1c or 1000, can't remember, occasionally there are free promotional/seasonal ones. But I haven't read anything else other than that.

[Some General Valkyr Help]

Atterax + Valkyr is the most fun I've had in this game so far, stats aside, there's nothing more satisfying than that whip-crack followed by gibs flying everywhere. Turn on Hysteria and it's crazy destroyer kitty rage mode.

[Html5-Based Warframe Dojo Planner]

I'm interested in this too, however my internet access is mainly limited to an android tablet and the planner is rather difficult to use from it. If I can get the proper assets and scaling, I may develop an android version. This is excellent though, but I don't think it's been updated in a while.
