Jinpu Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I have been playing 200+ hours. I have been playing since close beta and you can imagine that I have a lot of mods and cores. Well not so much of cores because I used it all on trying to maxing mods... Here is example... I recently tried to max Serration... On my primary weapons, I have couple of rank 10 and mostly 9. I picked paris which is my favorite and tried to max it... Yeah... it is nearly impossible to max such mods as Serration and Redirection... You guys need to lower the limit because even a veteran player like myself cannot max them... Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feldgrep Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 People do it all the time. Use fusion cores, useless mods, and duplicate mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownFire Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I Have maxed a Redirect and have Steel fiber, Serration, and Hornet Strike 1 point from max. Save Fusion cores for like 3 to 5 days and don't try to make four rank 9's. You'll get there, lots of defense and mobile defense. You can get 50+ mods on a 30+ defense if they are high level.

FateZero Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's suppose to be hard but not impossible to get to max level serration, most people are fine with rank 6 or so (105%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownFire Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 People do it all the time. Use fusion cores, useless mods, and duplicate mods. yes I drop about 600 mods and cores from rank 12-13 serration. Maybe more, it's been a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please be aware that you're writing here in the forum which may or may not be read at all by the DE staff regularly and really made so that fellow players like me and you can have a discussion. Now... 200+ hours. it's allot man but I'm something like 350+ and though I believe if took all of the serrations on my many weapons and turned them into one card it may just max out I haven't had the desire or time to do so yet. It's a ridiculous amount of cores and credits needed to max, but it's not impossible. I think the number was 1024 cores or something. Seriously if I didn't fuse anything at all and kept running mobile and endless defense I'd surely have that in a month or two. Keep going homey. If you got the two most powerful mods in the game quickly what else would there be left to do? Edited July 26, 2013 by sushidubya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris9428 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't adjust it. Leave it as it is. It's not meant to be easy. I currently have Serration on rank 7 and I'm able to rank it up to 9 right now. I'm fine with this, I'm just gonna play more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zartaen Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why? Because maxing serration or redirection should be done last.. when you don't need to max any other mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alure Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Then you get in a position like mine, and the only thing you really have left to max is Redirection, Hornet Strike, and Serration. Pretty much every mod and core I get, goes into pushing those up in rank. Not having any mods to rank up anymore will make the game hella stale for me, I think. I do agree that leveling those mods is a bit too ridiculous, though. Maybe knock the last two ranks off of them or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulzscha Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You guys need to lower the limit because even a veteran player like myself cannot max them... I'm not a closed beta player. I only started playing when I saw the game on Steam. Yet I managed to max Serration yesterday. It is most definitely possible. What I did for a couple of weeks was to dump all my spare V polarity mods (pages upon pages of Organ Shatter and True Steel lol) as well as Warframe ability mods (Mind Control anyone?) into Serration. You don't *have* to do it all at once - just keep on feeding it gradually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Hufflepuff Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Here is example... I recently tried to max Serration... On my primary weapons, I have couple of rank 10 and mostly 9. I picked paris which is my favorite and tried to max it... Just to point out this. While some mods are really easy to max, some like Serration do take a while. If you're trying to max multiple copies of Serration then, yes it's going to feel like it takes you forever. If you're willing to deal with the hassle of switching key mods like that out when you swap weapons and just focus on maxing out one copy of Serration, then it'll still take a while.. but your effort will be rewarded with a max Serration a lot sooner.

MisguidedGT Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) If you're trying to max multiple copies of Serration then, yes it's going to feel like it takes you forever. That's what it sounded like to me too, like they have a different serration mod at 9 or 10 in every primary. That's just crazy. Yeah, it is a pain to swap mods out, but...wow.

Should be able to max it by the end of the weekend. Just save up cores and serrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinpu Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I used 209 cores to up my serration from 12-13. Yeah... that is what I am talking about... it is silly. I have a lot of mods maxed out some were easy and some were ok. Serration and Redirection seems to be the hardest. To be exact, I have 4 rank 10 serration. To me... it just seems like bad job of unbalanced mod upgrade system. Thanks for the inputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Hufflepuff Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Unless your modding your Dethcube for damage... Yes, but even then you only really need two - and I'd still say that you'll most likely want to focus on one of them to max first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwinLi Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 when maxing Serration you should first upgrade your weapon to have a V slot. Ya you will lose all 30 ranks and have to get it up to rank 30 again but the 14 point cost is reduced to a 7 point cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excitonex Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You only really need one maxed Serration (and Hornet Strike/Redirection/Vitality for that matter)...You would need 2 if you use a sentinel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeless Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 a maxed serration or redirection .... u do realize that's kind of an endgame goal....keep defending the pod, Tenno. You will reach that milestone soon. For me personally, I probably have enough mods to get my serration from 8 - 10 but i choose not to because new mods may come out and I'd like to mod those asap. Also, I don't really see the benefit of 30% damage boost when your other mods aren't fully ranked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
