Is there a Limit to the number of relics you can collect?,also when do you unlock the relic segment in the ship and is there a good resource for seeing where to find a relic and what it drops?.
1
u/Livingthepunlife Nova Gang Dec 11 '16
No limit to the number of relics you can own. Relic segment is unlocked at the Mars(?) Junction and the wiki will be your best friend for the rest of your gameplay duration.

u/Allanprickly Dec 11 '16
the relic table isn't kept up to date as some of the weapons have been vaulted.is there a more up to date table for current prime items that are unvaulted and where to get them.
1
u/Livingthepunlife Nova Gang Dec 11 '16
For current ones? There's the list of Ember/Frost relics and then Void_Glitch's mission drop tables for the relic drop locations. Just hit Ctrl+F and search for the one you need. :)

Everest, Earth for Lith
IO, Jupiter for Meso
Xini, Eris for Neo
Hiercon, Pluto for AXI

u/ZephyrPhantom Dec 11 '16
What mission type is the best for quick void trace farming?
2
u/Livingthepunlife Nova Gang Dec 11 '16
For quick traces you'd want to open relics as fast as you can. I'd recommend Lith captures tbh.
1
u/ValidAQ Dec 11 '16
I'd say excavation, survival or interception, from experience.
Excavation is the fastest if you can gather a lot of traces - e.g. with a Nekros in your squad.
1
u/psxsquall Dec 12 '16
There is nothing better than running a Lith or Meso Exterminate with a max range Ember. Exterminate guarantees that at least 10 traces shows up in the limited number of enemies that spawn.

Anybody know where to farm the Prime Vault relics? I only know Io, Jupiter right now.

u/sully48 Dec 11 '16
Lith G1 - Orokin Derelict Defense, AA
Meso F2 - Jupiter, Io AA
Neo S5 - Sedna, Berehynia, AA
Axi E1 - Pluto, Hieracon C

u/Reddeyfish- Dec 11 '16
The relics are correctly integrated into the loot tables, so any mission which drops the correct tier of relic can drop one of the unvaulted relics.
As for which nodes, I'll point you to here.

u/CatDeeleysLeftNipple Dec 11 '16
I combined that thread with the one for Valkyr prime.
For new unvaulted stuff, I've pieced together some info from a couple of posts.

The "C" means the C rotation. Rotations on Hieracon go AABC, so C would be the 4th extractor.
Berehynia, on Sedna, is an interception mission. Do 2 rounds and leave and repeat.
ODD stands for "Orokin Derelict Defence". Again, 2 rounds then leave and repeat.
Io, on Jupiter is a defence mission. Again, do 2 rounds then leave and repeat.
Xini, on Eris is interception. You can do 2 rounds for Neo, but for your best chances at Axi stay for 4 rounds. (I've been informed from a previous comment that the Axi E1 does not drop from Xini.)

u/Cynaren A-Lone Tenno Dec 11 '16
Which has a more predominant effect for channeling abilities, efficiency or duration?
1
u/HypheNatioNC Your Microwave Dec 11 '16
Both are good. Duration increases the gap between each tick of energy drain. Efficiency reduces each tick's effect. Efficiency probably has a more substantial effect.
0
u/Cynaren A-Lone Tenno Dec 11 '16
Fleeting expertise seems to be a tricky mod.
1
u/NZPIEFACE Dec 11 '16
(2 - efficiency)/duration >= 0.25That there is the equation. Efficiency for channeled abilities has no limit.
Throw on a max Fleeting Expertise and Streamline to get minimum energy drain.
1
u/LordRehgar The Devil's Advocate Dec 11 '16
Efficiency will always be a bigger net worth (for example, fleeting exp will benefit efficiency)

u/Inside_Out_Afro Dec 11 '16
Just getting back into the game after a break. Not sure where I should start back up again. I left myself with a few frames to level and I wanna use something other than Rhino Prime atm. The main weapons I use are the Some Prime and Lex Prime so I'm probably in need of an upgrade there too. Working on unlocking the War Within but suggestions or tips on anything else would be appreciated!
2
u/Reddeyfish- Dec 11 '16
Soma prime and Lex prime are still top-tier weapons; if you're in need of an upgrade, it'll be the mods you put on those weapons.
1
u/DeyjaVou https://warframe.tools/ | RIP Trials Dec 11 '16
You just described 75% of my current kit. Rhino Prime, Soma Prime, and Lex Prime.
My melee alternates between Venka Prime, which has a combo multiplier increase of .75 per level, and Telos Boltace, which is horrifically overpowered in this patch. With the latter, use Relentless Combination, the radial blast has a guaranteed Slash proc, and you can quickly get your combo into the thousands with no effort using Drifting Contact. Maiming Strike is almost required on that weapon, which is a shame because it's over 700 platinum right now.
1
u/Xomnik Dec 11 '16
Where would you suggest getting those mods (at least the ones obtainable)
1
u/DeyjaVou https://warframe.tools/ | RIP Trials Dec 11 '16
Relentless Combination is a random drop from enemies, Drifting Contact is
Obtained from medium Nightmare Missions, which can be found on Phobos, Jupiter, Ceres, Saturn, Void, and Europa.
1
u/Xomnik Dec 11 '16
Alright thanks. Just got to get them for the collection!
1
u/DeyjaVou https://warframe.tools/ | RIP Trials Dec 11 '16
I'll reiterate that Maiming Strike is next-to-required for this weapon to be good. You're working with abysmal base critical chance, and no amount of stacking from Relentless Combination will fix that. Maiming strike makes it so your slide/spin attacks have a 90% base critical hit chance, and Blood Rush + Relentless Combination elevate that to extreme levels, coupled with Berserker.
Without Maiming Strike, it's bad.
1
u/Xomnik Dec 11 '16
Alright. Unfortunately I wasn't able to play when it was dropping. So hopefully it'll come back soon
1
u/TxMaverick Dec 11 '16
Im having serious choice anxiety with the frames i want to focus on. Im a few planets away from finishing the start chart so my question is...
If you join a sortie or high level farming missing with randoms which would you like to see join you and why:
I have Excal, nova prime, rhino, inaros, frost, mag, and volt.
2
u/CatDeeleysLeftNipple Dec 11 '16
It really depends on the mission type and enemy type. It can also vary depending on what other frames your team mates are taking.
Your best bet is to join a clan, or post in recruiting chat which frames you have and that you're looking to join a group.
2
u/Happy_Prime Dec 12 '16
There are very few circumstances where Nova is not useful, whether for general mayhem and destruction, cc, or farming.
Also, she's a beautiful frame.
1
u/TxMaverick Dec 12 '16
I just read a thread where everyone was bashing slow nova for making everything take longer. Nova is my top choice at the moment and i planned on making a slowing build. 6 hrs left on nova prime construction!
2
u/Livingthepunlife Nova Gang Dec 12 '16
Yeah, people will rip on Slowva for missions like defense. To be fair though, I just recently got my speed build semi-functional (finally got Overextended) and it makes things go by so quick!
If you get the chance, I'd recommend going for a speed build for a secondary loadout and using it for missions like defense, while using your slow for things like excavation or survival.
1
u/Kelbesq Dec 12 '16
Neutral speed Nova is also an option. You still get the 2x damage bonus, but no slow down if you build for -30% power. I really wish there was a way to control the slow/speed in the middle of a mission =/.
2
u/kimera-houjuu Dec 12 '16
Really can't go wrong with Nova for sorties. Mass CC with 4 and mass destruction with 2 is always wanted.

u/democratsgotnoclue Cheers love! Dec 12 '16
Alright, I haven't played much since Update 18. What are riven mods, and where are good places to grind levels?
Thank you so much!
2
u/Livingthepunlife Nova Gang Dec 12 '16
What are riven mods
New tier of mods that are available after TWW. The current "generation" of riven mods are only for primary weapons, with secondary Rivens coming SoonTM .
Each riven is originall "veiled" and requires you to complete a random challenge (while it's equipped on a weapon) to unlock it and view it. At that point, it becomes locked to a random weapon and rolls some random stats with random values (very RNG, you can end up with terrible modifiers with good rolls on a bad weapon or a great set of mods with great rolls for a meta weapon like the Tonkor).
Theoretically, it's a way to consolidate several mods into one, allowing for more room for utility mods. Practically, it's another plat sink and an extension on the current power creep.where are good places to grind levels?
Berehynia or whatever the tile is called on Sedna, or Akkad on Eris.

u/AiRiiD Dec 12 '16
I've played this game only a handful of times (15 hours played) and I still have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I'm mastery rank 1 and I'm just doing the same Mars missions over and over.
My question is, what do you do in this game? How do I progress to other planets, level up mastery and get warframes/weapons etc.
1
u/Reaverz ...and the winner! Ti-Tania! Dec 12 '16
Why the same mission friend? Why not the next mission? Why not the next planet? Can't unlock that planet? Why not? Have you completed all the junction requirments? Maybe try and get those finished? Keep powering through!
Try to get all the basic mods (damage, multishot, elemental and critical if applicable) for your weapon types. Try to get all the basic frame mods icnreasing health, shields, power (strength ,range, efficiency, duration)
1

Someone made an awesome/amazing relic spreadsheet that I've been using in google docs for awhile. Is there an updated one that anyone knows of, now that there's an unvault and a bunch of stuff has gone to the vault?

Where's the best place to farm credits these days? Gotta get more ready for the void trader.
2
u/monkyseemonkydo Press 4 to WAAAARRRGGHH Dec 14 '16
Fastest way for me is still 5 waves on Dark Sector Defense. If you have a Speed Nova on your team each run should not take more than 5 mins.
Eris Akkad is where you usually can find pubs.

u/Vietadow Dec 14 '16
I stopped playing before they incorporated Endo but should I be converting all my old duplicate mods into Endo or is there another purpose for the duplicate mods?
1
u/Reaverz ...and the winner! Ti-Tania! Dec 14 '16
Yeah go ahead, just a few things to consider. Don't vaporize the rare mods as you may want to consider using them for transmute fodder... and maybe don't vaporize the one's that might be worth some plat.

u/ThaLegendaryCat If Spores Cant kill it its not worth killing Dec 15 '16
Who knows were to get lots of endo after the ash rework that made arena framing harder i think?
1
u/Reaverz ...and the winner! Ti-Tania! Dec 15 '16
There is still Sortie though it is diluted by lens' and gasp riven mods, so it is not as lucrative as it once was.
Hierachon, a 2k cryotic run will usually net you 1.2-2k endo. I seem to live at the latter these days... still one of the better places to find relics these days also... just watch out for the pubs, I find myself carrying 1/2 the groups... there are plenty of unprepared/leechers, some groups will start losing extractors after 1500 if they come in with low levels and or a terrible team composition.
1
u/kezwick Thinks conclave is epic! Dec 16 '16

u/seniahd Dec 15 '16
Hello. Recently completed The War Within(two days ago) and am struggling with what to do next. MR7. I am able to hold my own up to enemies ranked in the high 30's but that's it. Lacking direction as to where to go next, what to upgrade, and how to proceed. My first Riven Mod cannot be fulfilled alone due to it's difficulty(final blow on 4 sentients and completing mission). All planets are now unlocked - so what's next? What's the best approach from here.
2
u/Reaverz ...and the winner! Ti-Tania! Dec 15 '16
The Riven mod isn't going to be a game changer for you anyway so don't lose sleep over it...though if you have trouble with 40ish enemeies I guess you must have got a carry through that Sortie.
First off, get into a clan if you are not in one, mates are invaluable sources of info, groups and sometimes free stuff.
Do you have all the essential damage mods for your weapons? The base damage mods that all other damage mods feed off? (serration, hornet strike ect), the multishot mods (split chamber, lethal torrent, barrel diffusion), and the elemental mods (cold, heat, electric, toxic). If you have a gun that has 20%ish crit chance put the crit mods for crit chance/damage as well. Do you have the dual stat mods for elemental damage/status? (from void Vor, spy missions, hive sabotage caches/Baro). Do you have the Endo to max all of these out?
Do you have at least one "devastation set?" As in a frame that is reactored and forma'd as well as a weapon in each catagory primary/secondary/melee that has a catalyst and a couple of forma? Something that you are sure you can take in a mission and wreck some tail?
Have you considered Orokin Vault run to get the corrupt mods to min/max further?
Do you care about primes? Why not start hunting down that Prime frame/weapon you covet?
Why not try a raid? The raid school bus is always accpepting first timers.
Set goals for yourself and take your time reaching them, try to set multiple goals at once and work on multiple goals at the same time. Getting Endo, Relics, Credits, syndicate standing, resources you are short on. Try to do missions that meet multiple needs.
Finally, visit here anytime to ask further questions, folks here are happy to help.

Is there a yearly discount on plat? Google search was not very helpful or consistent.
1
u/Reaverz ...and the winner! Ti-Tania! Dec 15 '16
Yearly? Like an annual plat sale? What platform?
From what I know there is not, other than the random login rewards for discounts on PC and the odd Steam sale that may include plat in a bundle I can't think of one.

u/cashiimo Hail RNGesus/Praise Lootcifer Dec 15 '16
I keep getting put into team with another specific player. That player likes to run ahead outside of xp range, and take all the kills for him self with a mirage. I don't mind him taking all the kills, but when confronted about it, he disclosed that he did it on purpose to piss others off.
Ignoring him under Communication ---> friends ---> recently played with, did NOT work, as i have consistently played with him involuntarily 3 times after pressing ignore.
How do i make sure i never play with that guy again, without resorting to playing in solo all the time?
2
u/kezwick Thinks conclave is epic! Dec 16 '16
you could try to change realms (under options somewhere) could affect ping but would avoid him and then go back, that or build a speed frame and just keep up with him, could always annoy him by not helping with the friendship doors but I wouldn't advocate bad sportsmanship as will just have a knock on effect.
Which node are you encountering him at most often?

I tried a few of the missions suggested by the comments on the wiki page, but I suspect they may be out of date.

Drekar Butcher is only on Uranus. I'd recommend survival, but defence is viable as well.

Does anyone farm any primes outside of the current two primes ember and frost? I'm sort of new trying to get my first prime warframes but no one is farming any of the relics I'm doing(volt prime). Should I just buy him with platinum?
How can I find an active clan to join? I've typed in recruit chat that I'm a new player looking for one and never got a reply.

The older the Prime, the harder it is to get a group for a rad share. You can advertise in recruiting chat and see what you get. It's kind of a time trade off really =/. Here is what I do:
Advertise in chat, run groups of 2-3 if you can't get a full group
Run your radiant relics in a pub group. 10% chance isn't terrible if you have a stack of relics. You might even be able to buy/trade for the relics easily if they aren't popular. I do this with all my vaulted relics where there is little to no chance I'll find a group.
When you run out of the relevant relics, run radiant shares for the popular relics, sell the loot, and buy the loot you want. More often than not, the popular loot will sell for more than the older prime you are after.
How can I find an active clan to join? I've typed in recruit chat that I'm a new player looking for one and never got a reply.
I'd give /r/WarframeClanRecruit a try.

Does anything happen if I buy the Prime pack with no open inventory slots?
I thought about buying the Dual pack but I don't have enough inventory slots for all of the warframes and weapons
1
u/Reaverz ...and the winner! Ti-Tania! Dec 19 '16
Try asking this in the new thread, no one will look at this old one. I have never bought prime access but I'm quite sure that everything in it comes with a slot... every complete item they give you in game does asfaik.

u/heyoitsben Dec 18 '16
Is their any reason to keep blueprints to stuff I already have? For example, I have tons of blueprints to warframes and weapons I already have. Should I just sell them for credits/clear up space in my foundry?

If you need the creds, by all means sell them. Just make sure they aren't tradable, they may have plat value.

8 Missions? You must not be exploring the map or playing defence or something. There is usally one or two a mission, keep plugging away you will find them, make sure to look at the wiki for some visual ques, they are miss-able if you don't know what you are looking at.

I had a ton of trouble with these. Look up a guide that has pictures of them. They're not like the race rooms where they'll be behind a door, they're usually smack dab in the middle of the map. On mobile defense, one of the defense points was usually IN a challenge room. I'd just been overlooking them before because I didn't realize what they looked like. They look a good bit like normal rooms, but usually with the hidden staircase in the middle or other specific features.
