Most Effective Way Of Leveling?

[Guialdereti]

When you're trying to lvl up either you frame or weapons, what is the most eficient way of doing so? Finishing the missions as fast as possible or taking your time, using the weapons you need to lvl up, so they get extra XP?

[(PSN)OMGITSNUKERXD]

Draco,Ceres.

Frame-wise murder things ONLY with your powers.

 

Weapon-wise leech from the kills that your teammates do. Unequip weapons that you already have maxed.

 

Companion-wise just make sure to keep them alive and they gain xp. No need to worry about anything other than their survival.

Most like ceras but I prefer eris dark sector defense + tonkor, it's extremely easy you can sit back watch TV and barely even pay attention. Levering/formaing frames

Spy missions and ODD.

[AkerTheSpjot]

Spy missions, specifically Grineer ones, I find them significantly easier to do than Corprus missions. My personal favorite is Hapke (Ceres). Take off unwanted equipments, equip only the items you want to rank, do the mission and voila.

Do note that this can be a very risky method, as carrying underleveled stuffs makes you extra vulnerable when Assassins or Death-squads decide to drop by and say hi for a mark you got a month ago. Prepping yourself with a maxed, well modded gun is recommended.

Also, try stacking stealth kills bonuses.

P.S this is how Exp distribution works, hope that helps. https://m.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/262ntz/how_experience_works_combating_misinformation/

Ceres

[Casval_Rouge]

Go to Ceres, Draco and look for a public game.  Assuming you don't have good gear, equip yourself for maximum survival.  Let the rest of the team do the hard work.  But be a good sport, do what you can and try not to die.  Focus on the objective if you can't kill the enemies.

Stealth kills.

[(PSN)PillarOfWar]

XP boosters! They say they double your XP but I swear it feels like more.

ODD is a good one, lots of people always willing to go to way 20 and because of Trinity parts you can get something to sell maybe. And feels funner than the Pluto dark sector.

[nefrai]

Not sure if it's still valid, but I always just went to ODD. Maxed out frames/weapons really fast for me. But this was some time ago. I know people talk about Draco a ton, I haven't tried it for leveling myself (I usually just solo level, I'm boring that way :P ). I still need to level up around 7 frames, I've been slacking a lot.

[TESTAMENTEXE]

Ceres: Drace Or OD: def.... Plus you'll get a chance at new prime parts + neurodes on ODD

[Gr3vi3R]

Draco it's the common failure since every casual goes there resulting in Failed Missions.

 

Run solo spies, get keys, credits, exp and mods.

[Bachuuu]

Go to Draco, kill with weapons when lvling weapons, kill with powers when lvling frames, unequip maxed stuff.

[Lightsmith]

Tower Defense. Isn't bad outside of Draco and less strict on roles.

[(PSN)robotwars7]

solo: Seimeni, Ceres, or Sechura, Pluto.

team: Tower 1 Defense, or Draco, Ceres.

 

these are the places I go. I recommend switching it up every so often, so you don't get bored, plus you get to see how effective a weapon is against more than one Faction.

[Tostov]

Have a friend with primed reach orthos prime and loki spin to win on an exterminate in ceres. Stealth kill multiplier when done right is the fastest. However, that requires some specific stuff.

As people said, Draco, and interception on ceres works quite well, but sorta gonna rely on pubs probably.

Good solo places are:

Spy missions (if you can get consistent clean extractions)
and
Cupid (which is a survival mission), it's one of the lowest rank survivals that spawns Elite Lancers from the beginning of the mission, and takes place on the grineer galleon tileset, which has pretty consistent spawn rates.

Spy, if you have a Loki or Limbo is pretty much the fastest way to level non-melee weapons solo. Cupid can be used to level anything that is somewhat decently kitted out. If you're having too much trouble, Apollonus (the first survival node on mercury) is a pretty good place to start if you're low ranking.


Edit: Quick explaination about XP, there's two types you can earn, kill, and general.

Kill occurs when you kill an enemy (obviously) with a weapon or warframe power. The XP is distributed either:
50% to warframe, 50% to weapon that scored the kill, if kill was scored with a weapon
or
100% to warframe if warframe ability scored a kill. (I also suspect fly-kick cases all XP to warframe as well)

General occurs when someone else scores a kill, affinity orbs are picked up or a mission objective is completed (capturing a target, infiltrating a vault successfully in spy etc.)
It is always distributed evenly across your warframe and weapons, even if one of them is maxed out.
