How do you increase your Frames level cap to go beyond 30?

[Wyv3rn]

So my Frost is now level 30, Is there a particular way to get beyond 30? is that what Polarizing is for?

No.

Polarizing adds a polarity to a mod slot, resets the level of the item in question (meaning you have to level it back up to level 30), but allows for a massive net gain in usefulness from that item.

when you do polairty for mod slots, u r gaining ranks for this particular warframe, it becomes stronger because you can use stronger mods.thid is the way of getting higher lvl altough for every rank max lvl is 30. I hope it makes sense to you.

Level 30 warframe means u have 30 upgrade points for mods to install. Despite the fact that you can't level up your warframe further than level 30, you can increase the upgrade points capacity with this:

-orokin reactor (doubles the amount of upgrade points so you can have 60 points)

-forma (this one doesn't increase your upgrade point capacity, but it makes mods cost twice as cheap if you add them to a certain slot)

Polarising means that any mod of the same polarity (the symbol top right) will have its drain cost halved.
For example at rank 30 every warframe/weapon etc has 30 available mod points (without a reactor or catalyst installed which doubles this to 60).
A staple rifle mod is serration, which is a v polarity has a max drain of 14, leaving you with only 16 for any other mods, if you use a forma to add a v polarity to one mod slot that serration now only cost 7. Hence more available for other mods.

1. 30 is the level cap for any gear
2. To enhance it further you can "polarise" a slot using Forma. Mots with matching polarity to the slot will only use half as much capacity.
3. Furthermore, later in the game you has supercharge any warframe or weapon with Orokin Catalysts/Reactors, which basically doubles their mod capacity (making a lvl 30 have 60 capacity).

No, you cannot go beyond thirty. You can however double your mod capacity from 30 to 60 by installing an orokin reactor, or reduce the cost of mods in the frame by using forma to change polarities of slots (A mod sitting in a spot that it has a matching polarity with reduces its cost by half)

[Drago]

Forma though, do help as with reactors/catalsyt, aura mods, and exilus later, in fitting more mods and thus power on your warframe essentially being a means of judging a player's relative strength compared to their enemies.

urgh... i'm sure you meant the right thing, but that comes over totally wrong.
so lets do shorten it up:
a) you can only forma something when it's mastered (lvl30) AND has a potato in it (reactor/catalyst)
b) using the forma will add/change the polarity of the slot it was used on.
c) putting a mod into a slot with the same polarity, will only take half of its capacity (rounded up on uneven cap-costs - e.g. a mod of 15 cap will then only cost 8, and so does one with 16) - therefore you will be able to fit in more mods altogether.
d) the weapon/frame/sentinel/pet will be put back to level 0 after the use of a forma - it WON'T gives you any more mastery when leveled up again.

Mostly correct, but you don't NEED a catalyst/reactor to apply forma.






Though you should probably put one on first anyhow if you care about the weapon enough to forma it.
