alchemistjkt Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 thats about it really... maybe get the color pallets if you want em, but other than slots and the odd tater/forma, anything else is just a waste of plat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMidnightX Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 omni ammo boxes are a joke but you probably already know that, mod packs are kind of pointless too, to pay for just a chance at a rare one. I wouldn't suggest getting potatoes though, but that's just me who got lucky quite a few times and have plenty of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simeo77 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) Only potatoes, slots and forma. Maybe a color pack. Never buy frames. Never buy sentinels. Never buy weapons. It depends on how much you have or plan to have. If you'll be going founders pack Hunter or higher then you could consider key packs, mod packs or helmets. These are principles I go by and I have every frame but Vauban. All frames are potatoed. Some weapons are potatoed with a forma. Do your research and make sure you really like the weapon before potatoing it though. I have a couple weapons I wish I didn't waste it on. I purchased 1 key pack and a color palette. I still have about 400 plat on Hunter pack. Hope this helps. Edited June 4, 2013 by simeo77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how much you have or plan to have.-snip- Sentinels are decent actually, if you had planned to supercharge either of his stuff (or both) it's a cost of 35 more to get it now, but also get it fully supercharged, esp since the rush is 30plat (5 more plat really to buy all the mats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhoyzu Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 slots for weapons/frames should be priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiendFyre Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I did spend the plat on a sentinel, because I felt like that was a basic requirement after resetting, but other than that, just save up and only spend on slots and maybe potatoes for weapons you really like.

Adalonie Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Actually.. its pay for convenience. For example if you like the banshee, but you dun have time to hunt for it because you spend most of your time working and earning a decent income. Using that small part of your income say 5 to 10 bucks could save you hours of farming and jump you straight into action. (some will say farming is part of the fun, so it depends on individual) So end of the day, it still depends on your spending power and how much time you gonna invest. Just my personal opinion.

Urika Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) warframe slots, weapon slots, and the occasional potatoes are all I do. Edited June 4, 2013 by Urika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus-Venera Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Anyone know any pointers on what to get with plat?

IcyCold Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) pfft I would never buy vuban or the stalker set also thanks for all the pointers and help Edited June 4, 2013 by IcyCold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsuelieta Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Only non-slot, non-potato, non-color thing I've bought with plat was the Glaive. I don't regret it in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiganCross Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Slots... Buy ALL OF THE SLOTS... I have like 5 pages of them and i still think i'm missing out... I even get to sell some weapons sometimes, like the ocasional Mk1 Braton or the Furis that i level just to have Mastery. Basically... SLOTS, SLOTS EVERYWHERE!!

Acyl Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) For the love of all that is good and holy, never buy warframe revives. I figure you probably know this, and hell, probably don't die that often...but a lot of new players don't realise the revives come back after 24 hours, and are 4/4 per-warframe, not per-account. Like I said, I expect most people in this thread know this, but on the off chance some brand new player's browsing the forums... Otherwise, yeah. Potatoes, forma and slots are really all that anyone needs from the store. Edited June 4, 2013 by Acyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have about 4 forma, all acquired through T2 or T3 Void runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magmahunter Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 slots: you barely start with any... potatoes/forma: rare enough to make it worth it... sentinels: cheap, prebuilt and fully charged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulzscha Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Considering the OP's Disciple status and the plat amount that goes with it: Frame and weapon slots, your favorite color palette (I recommend classic saturated), 1 or 2 Orokin Catalysts/Reactors for your favorite weapons and frames, Dethcube, and Excalibur/Loki/Volt (great bargains at 75 plat considering they come with Reactors and their own slot).

Zyfe3rX Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) SLOTs, SLOTs. Deth Cube (sentinel) and keep the rest for potatoes! Edited June 4, 2013 by Zyfe3rX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlro Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Only potatoes, slots and forma. Maybe a color pack. Never buy frames. Never buy sentinels. Never buy weapons. It depends on how much you have or plan to have. I disagree with you when it comes to the sentinel: when you start the game it is very difficult to get 115k to buy the BP and build the sentinel, plus all the materials that you don't have because you haven't even unlocked the levels to get them. A sentinel helps a lot, specially when you are using low level, basic weapons. Also, a sentinel costs 75 platinum and it comes with 2 potatoes (so its is 75 platinum instead of 40, not much of a difference). I bought my first sentinel and I don't regret it.

That is exactly what I bought, but it was Wyrm instead of Dethcube because the later didn't exist at that time :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagonene Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Same here, bought Wyrmy, made Lemmy Dëthkube, bought potatoes. Will make shade and potato him eventually for the survivability. Slots, maybe Vauban because of the obscure alerts, maybe glaive (same reason). Everything else is farmable, you are paying for convenience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
