Is it possible to calculate how much is needed for MR?

[rolypoly]

I am at MR 9 now, is there a way to calculate how many weapons and/or warframes I need to max out in order to reach MR 13?

And do prime and non-prime versions of an item count as two different things for giving MR?

[KAX]

Warframes, Archwings, Sentinels, Kubrows & Kavats - 200 Affinity Per Lvl. 6000 max.

Weapons, Sentienel Weapons - 100 Affinity Per Lvl. 3000 Max.

Hi

here is what you need

"Below are the ways a player can gain Mastery Points:

Bringing up the ranks of Weapons, Sentinel weapons and Archwing weapons earn 100 mastery points for each rank gained up to Rank 30 for a total of 3,000.
Bringing up the ranks of Warframes, Companions and Archwings earn 200 mastery points for each rank gained up to Rank 30 for a total of 6,000.
Clearing the main objective of a Mission node and extracting will grant an average of ~63 mastery points.
Victory against the opponent frame in a Junction grants 1,000 mastery points. "

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Mastery_Rank

primes, non-primes, and variants (wraith, dex, vandal, prisma, MK1) do count as different things for MR

Calculate? Eh, easy enough. When you open your Profile, it will give you a numerical value for how many more Mastery Points you need to hit the rank up test. Each Warframe, Sentinel, Archwing, and pet Companion offers 200 points per level, for a total of 6000 each. Each weapon offers 100 per, for 3000 each. Every different item, even if they're different by prefix/suffix ( Prime, Prisma, Vandal, Wraith, Dragon, Mara, Ak-, Dex) give seperate Mastery points, but of course selling and rebuilding an item or forma'ing it will not give you extra MR.

The points required to hit MR13 is 67,500 from MR12, and total is 422,500

You need 10,000 affinity?

Max a Warframe, Archwing ect ect ect fully for 6000 affinity.
Max a weapon at the same time for another 3000 affinity.
Then bring an extra weapon to lvl 10 for 1000 affinity.

You can do it many ways. Always try to bring 3 Equipment thats not maxed, then bring 1 good weapons/frame you can use to get Kills/Affinity.

Affinity is shared between all equipment.

Group doesn't matter. If you've only got one weapon, then any XP from kills with it you're making with it is split 50% to your Warframe. And when teammates get kills, all that XP is split across all your gear. If you've only got one weapon and a Warframe, it's still 50/50.

Prime and Non-Prime count as seperate things.

And if I use a power warframe and do all my kills with abilities, does my weapon still level up? I noticed when I try that with Ember I get very little level on my weapon...

nope... warframe abilities kills give 100% affinity to the frame...

MR9 has 202,500 mastery, MR13 needs 422,500 for 220,000 mastery inbetween.
Grinding 74 weapons or 37 frames/sentinels worth of new equipment
Each sentinel is worth 9000 with the sentinel itself for 6000 and its weapon for 3000.
For now work on like 13 weapons and 2 frames/sentinels for MR10 and kind of repeat for awhile.
Don't forget to just do whats available to have fun.

Buy blueprints, farm materials to build'em, pair powerful warframes with unranked weapons when you lvl up weapons and vice-versa when you lvl up warframes.
Did you do many quests/finish junctions? I'm at MR 8 and I'm already standing on 8-9 weapons that I have not built yet although I have the mats.

Nnnope! If you've only got one weapon in a group, XP from ally kills is actually split 25/75 between the warframe and weapon. The system's set up so you WOULD have an even split if you had all gear slots filled, but gets kind of silly when you don't. If you only have one weapon equipped, it will level up FASTER from you NOT using it and instead letting everyone else kill things. Pretty silly.

Mission affinity also gets split the same way, so if you only bring one weapon to a Spy mission, it'll get a respectable chunk of affinity from each unalarmed vault clear.

The flip side of this is that the warframe only ever gets 25% from these shared sources, which makes them all pretty lackluster for leveling frames. You need to either leech a LOT or get those kills yourself.

(there is also an exception to this in that 'exalted weapon' abilities let you trick the system in giving all of the EXP that WOULD have gone to a weapon slot to your frame instead, but only a few frames can do that)
