Warframe In the Playground

[Snowbluff]

Alright, so I have Rhino p, Nekros, and Chroma building. :3

It also made it a lot easier for your face to get blown in, but hey, who's counting? (Me. I am. So much dying :P)

To be fair, I've done some stupid stuff and got blown up, too. I'm sure there are some signs that the bursa is going to do something crazy and one shot you, but just trying to circle it means you're eventually going to get hit. At least one guide suggests taking Zephyr since none of the bursas' ranged attacks can penetrate turbulence.

I've done all the project scans thus far. Mostly I just wanted the Detect Vulnerability and Simulacrum Access Key but now I started getting upgrades for my camera. One Spy-mission on Pluto scanning everything done with pure stealth (e.g. Loki) seems to about get you your daily rep quota for Simaris, so it's relatively effortless especially since Spy 2.0 rewards are something nice anyways.

I've managed to get all of the scans so far for the lore information. Sweet, delicious lore. I've finally upgraded my scanner fully, but I've yet to mess with the Simulacrum or any of the unique Helios benefits. That's largely my fault for being lazy and not doing Solo-ki runs on spy missions or elsewhere. Even so, it is fun to pretend I'm playing Metroid Prime again.

[Almarck]

You should got the camera upgrades first. They make scanning so much easier. Also I typically go do sabotage on phobia since that's the current tarhet. Doing it all as look or some other stealth frame is so easy. Especially with that upgrade that makes you scan so much faster.

Also I currently found chroma somewhat of a disappointment but that might be because the majority of his good abilities are buff or duration based and we'll early warframe durations are so ... meh.


Also anyone who needs oxium I really recomend mobile defense on Europa or Uranus

So, now with Shelter a full Kubrow-build requires 6 Forma...

So, now with Shelter a full Kubrow-build requires 6 Forma...

While I'm sure there are people out there who do forma their dogs, I have no intention of ever doing that. I'm just hoping that the egg from the last alert I got isn't a duplicate of a dog I already have. Or, if it is, it's got a lotus pattern so I can freaking sell that piece of crap off and refund some of my many, many losses.


In unrelated news, two days in a row I ran Suda missions where I got two genius data. The second time that happened, both of those data spawned in the same room on opposite sides of a conveyer belt on the Ceres tile set. So while RNGesus won't give me soma or volt prime parts to save my life, I can apparently have an easy time leveling up Suda solely through her missions.

[Krade]

Got the Quanta Vandal last night. That last run we got about 380 points fighting a level 92 Bursa. That was fun. Glad it's over, though.

[Snowbluff]

I have a Helios, but my codex is a mess. What's the best precept order for using the new mod? Should I just put it last and the scanning one first?

I forma everything; as such, all my dogs have 4 Formas which is enough for an almost-full build with a rank 3 Loyal Companion. Unfortunately that's no longer an option so I'll probably have to go all the way with a 6-Forma build for each meaning 8 more Forma invested on stuff I hardly use. Well, Huras and Raksa are priority since those I actually play with occasionally.

I have scan at the first slot and Detect Vulnerability at the second. Last one is generally reserved for the gun.

Fought a Lvl 87 Bursa and was thinking Ok this is it im done with this now since the level 70 one took me from 1061 to 1300ish... but no im 47 points off the Gun GRRRR

It's not just the Bursa level that determines your score. One of the biggest factors is how quickly you kill it after it starts verifying. If you kill it fast, you get more points, but the closer the verification gets to 100% the more credits you get.

im aware of that, i didn't think the time it took to kill the 87 would have stopped me that close to it.

Thankfully i never have to do it again. It took all 4 revives on my pFrost but i took on the 96 which bumped my score to 1835

OKay. It reads left to right, correct?

Top left to top right, then bottom left to bottom right.

That sounds like madness. While I enjoyed ranking up my first three kubrows, I'm drained from finding the Sahasa. It's been a giant waste in credits, time, and energy. When I was running excavate missions on earth for keys, it wasn't so bad, but since I've had little reason to plop down on that planet, I just don't care. I'd much rather forma my wyrm prime or helios before giving my dogs the releveling treatment.

Eldariel already covered the order. I typically like to have Helios' scan and Carrier's Vacuum in the first slot, followed by Guardian for the shield recharge, then everything else. Once I get the special Helios mod, it'll probably be the third thing down the list, but I need to forma my Helios before I make a decision.

All my sentinels are already fully forma'd so clearly I just have Forma burning in my pockets.

To be fair, I've been more focused on leveling fodder than forma'ing my sentinels, even though I could have done all that at the same time.


Unless I'm farming draco (and I haven't in forever), I only forma one weapon and frame at a time.

Ah. I usually try to have everything leveling unless I plan on doing more than 40 mins of T4S, 12 waves of T4I or 20 rounds of T4D (defense I usually bring real gear to since the risk and the cost of failure is so high; I only bring trash if it's one of those stupid Mesa-runs), or the Raid - the Raid doesn't really give any XP so I figure I might as well bring real gear and in the rest it begins to actually be important to have proper gear around enemy level 70-80. That's in part why I just sort of have stuff gaining level - they do it almost whenever I play.

Good Riddance to the Ripkas, i lament the materials used to make that damm thing and im going to have to make and Level Cleavers again

If you wanted to keep the cleavers, why didn't you make new ones to put into the Ripkas?

I'm getting discouraged about the Decurion Barrel drop rate. I've done the missions it supposedly drops on so many times now and I haven't even gotten one of the two that I need. The worst part is that I've got everything else that drops there at least 2 or 3 times over and STILL not a single barrel

Never seen one myself and I've gotten the full set of other Neptune awards. Peculiar, and vexing.

I've got to echo Krade's sentiments here. I've got spare blueprints for another two Lex Primes for the eventual Aklex Prime release. I can understand if you're running low on weapon slots where you would have to just use your old cleavers to get them, but it's far from difficult to get the 12 plat from the player market to just buy two more slots.

I seem to remember hearing about them saying they aren't going to do another dual Prime like the Akbronco again. Though I'm sure I could be wrong, I wouldn't keep your hopes too high for Aklex Prime ever becoming a thing.

[Leon]

Because my general outlook is to level up things and then use them to make the next weapon and till now they upgraded weapon has been decent or crap but the preceding weapons were also bad ~ not in this case the Cleavers were great weapons and the Ripkas terrible. (the Ankyros were not much chop and they shall not be missed)

I probably should have done the mentioned thing to make the Aksomati but i didnt want to wait for the Akstiletto so i bought them outright and thankfully they are good ~ got burned last time i did that with the Drakgoon.

On the pAklex: which is a shame as i end up swimming in pLex bits on a frequent basis and the gun is a great gun.

Jat Kittag is so much fun

[Eldariel]

Four Riders and Malicious Raptor are both solid stances, and Ripkas is the only real weapon to utilize them; it blows Venka out of the water. While they look dumb, that's the redeeming feature of the Ripkas.

I have better performance out of the Venka than Ripkas and Venka do not make an annoying sounds all the time in use ~ No idea about Four Riders given its a rare drop off a once per mission Mob (and for what ive seen of the manic thus far they have not dropped anything useful), ive not looked at the cost of one on trade but im betting its obscene.

Not that its really an Issue as if i need something Dead in Melee on a serious level i'd be using one of my Polearms or Galatine instead.

[Krade]

So I've built everything that requires Tellurium, and in the process of trying to farm up all of the parts, I've got 8 to spare already and I still need 10 more individual drops. What's worse is that in 7 runs of the Earth AW Interception, I got 6 Corvus Stocks. RNG needs to be banned for trolling.

At least when they release more weapons that need Tellurium, I'll be prepared

Meanwhile, Thyr and I just recently completed the first wave of the Itzal research,

I really just need to spend a day playing only archwing,

[Leon]

The Tonkor is so much fun ~ just out of a 43min Appodorus run where i had gone with it fresh out of the foundry and it was still doing well by the end. the Grenades do have a tendency to go like a super ball tho if you miss a direct hit.

14 Levels on it, Jat Kittag from 10 to 24, Furis from 23 to max, Saryn from 13 to 18

[Eldariel]

Agreed, Tonkor is absolutely hilarious. Doubly so on Mirage; 5 grenades to litter the battlefield. Or for goombastomping (jump on enemy, shoot straight down, they blow up and you jump to the next one off the explosion)! I'm gonna forma it right after Quanta Vandal.

[Leon]

Yeah just experienced that ~ Mirage with Tonkor and a Mirage with Quanta Vandal while farming for Galium
