TheGoldLegion Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Now I'm stuck in a predicament. I have enough plat for one orokin catalyst, should I: a) Use it to for the next title on the syndicate (Steel Meridian --> Defender Rank). b) Use it for extra warframe slot (I've got Excal, Excal Umbra, and Rhino). c) Should I use it on my Soma (I am halfway through MR7 and don't have high-tier mods although I do have a build I want to eventually get to) I want to build my Excal umbra with chromatic blade (from General Rank ), potato my Soma, and use an extra warframe slot for mastery fodder. Any suggestions are appreciated 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tovon Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'd say option A, that way you can go ahead and start building up that standing, work on farming primes or rare mods to gain more platinum from trading to solve the other choices.

0 GnarlsDarkley Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 a) No. Do this when you have spare ones b) always a good idea, you can't have enough slots (I am currently at 45 warframe slots used) c) no. Soma is decent but far from great. There are lots of better weapons suited for a bought Catalyst 17 minutes ago, TheGoldLegion said: I want to build my Excal umbra with chromatic blade If you have hit a progression wall this would be the most recommended way imo.

0 GnarlsDarkley Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 It is by far endgame viable. You need to max rank the mods, use the Steel Meridian Augment for +200% MS and maybe some mods switched out. You also need to apply some Forma. Hek is a very good weapon, but it is not the best endgame weapon given its very low MR requirement. I was just pointing out that you can use a Hek with a single Catalyst and no Forma with above build for all enemies up to Lv 50. Maybe a little higher, but definitely has issues at Lv 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this are just an small example you could do .. many in this topic have given you an good solution to work with Don't get me wrong, I do love the grind. However, my syndicate (Steel Meridian) needed an Orokin Catalyst for the next title. So I've been waiting and watching out for Orokin Catalysts since the last 2 weeks and I have only seen an Orokin Reactor but no Catalyst. So I decided to farm prime parts until I got about 20 plat. By the time I got the 20 plat, I realised I could use the Orokin Catalyst and the 20 plat to get myself out of the "underpowered" zone. So here I am asking you guys to help me make a choice. That being said I now know (thanks to y'all) that I should always spend plat for slots, and since a friend has kindly gifted me 2 Catalysts, I'm gonna put my plat to use on my slots and farm more primes.

0 kingvaldemir Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 a.) No no. You need bigger arsenal and potatoed weapon first IMO. That can come later. b.) For me, this option is also no no. Well at least not yet. What I'd like to recommend to you is to buy weapon slot instead. 12 plat for TWO weapon slots. That's a nice deal if you are low on plat. c.) Like @GnarlsDarkley said, I kinda encourage you not to. It is good, yes, but hek is better. You can use it to clear star charts, farm relics, bounties, etc etc. Sell the rewards from those mission and you can earn more plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 (PSN)AbBaNdOn_IGN Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Never buy Catalyst/Reactors with plat. Just wait for them. Use forma on stuff if u need to. Plat should always go towards more warframe , weapon, pet, sentinel slots. You go up in Mastery by acquiring and leveling everything there is in the game. You are going to want to keep alot of it. That takes slots!! After that I start buying skins/emotes/decorations/operator cosmetics/ Octavia Instruments.... When I have 50-75% discounts I grab the centerpieces for the personal quarters, vignettes. Greater Focus school len's is another smart purchase for plat with a discount. You need those to make E Lens. You can make greater lens from scratch but that costs like 225k credits + 1 or more forma ??? But for now I recommend...... SLOTS! SLOTS! SLOTS!

0 MPonder Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 A- Sindicate, you can sell sindicate mods to farm plat, usually around 12-15 PL each, plus you will also get missions that give more sindicate points and you'll get a better sindicate icon to farm.

Question
TheGoldLegion
Now I'm stuck in a predicament.
I have enough plat for one orokin catalyst, should I:
a) Use it to for the next title on the syndicate (Steel Meridian --> Defender Rank).
b) Use it for extra warframe slot (I've got Excal, Excal Umbra, and Rhino).
c) Should I use it on my Soma (I am halfway through MR7 and don't have high-tier mods although I do have a build I want to eventually get to)
I want to build my Excal umbra with chromatic blade (from General Rank ), potato my Soma, and use an extra warframe slot for mastery fodder.
Any suggestions are appreciated 🙂
