Too Much to Learn

[Egg, Friend of Ham]

Anyone know a good source for all the learnin' you need to play this? I still don't know ♥♥♥♥.

Hi,

if you have a specific question http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/WARFRAME_Wiki has probably the answer...

if you want to know what you need to do in general in the game, just ask here :)

Looks like a wee bit of a cluster-♥♥♥♥-of-info but I suppose that is kinda what this game is. That is kinda the fun of it XD

warframe is pretty much a wiki game, you can get through without it at first due to a few tricks (like going into navigation clicking on a planet and hovering your mouse over the bottom right icon to see what resources drop from a planet)
but eventaully you are gona need to look up things like "where does dual status mods drop", "what crit mods are there?", "whats the next boss gona be like", "how do i actaully play limbo?"

Man, I ain't even gotten much into the other frames yet. Been sticking mostly to the healers because I love healing. Right now I am trying to learn damage values and what is weak to what and oh my lord I am in for a ride.

Seems confusing and like there's a lot to take in at first, and that's true but it really doesn't take that long to understand how it works

My tips for starting or returning back to the game:

★ Use the 50 starting platinum to get warframe/weapon slots as this will let you hold more weapons and warframes respectively. This is always recommended as a new player so that you can acquire more weapons/warframes and be able to have room for them
★ Set goals for yourself even if they seem impossible and work towards them with adding smaller goals to accomplish in between that large goal
★ DLCs for Warframe are more of a "starter pack" thing they DO NOT unlock any new content in any shape or form, but everything in it can be easily farmed ingame if you are patient enough. However, if you wish to purchase platinum to also support the developers then it is advised for you to wait for a 75% discount from daily login then purchase platinum that way since you get a lot more out of your money that way
★ Pretty much most things can be farmed ingame by either Clan Research, purchasing blueprints on the Market for credits, various drops from different sources (bosses, enemies, etc), or syndicates. This way you do not have to use platinum to buy them, though no one really buys Warframes or Weapons in the Market for platinum anyways when they can farm them ingame
★ Rank things to 30 before selling them and be sure to try out new weapons/warframes to get an idea of what you may like, also make sure to check if the weapon can be used to make another weapon: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons_Required_as_Crafting_Ingredients
★ Start getting familiar with the movement and parkour mechanics, as they are useful to do and also help in surviving or preventing things like getting knocked down/taking less damage. Learning this early is better than having to learn it late in the game: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Movement#Sprinting
★ Joining a new player friendly clan is advised. Not only do clans offer new friends to potentially meet, but they also offer various clantech research that you can get the blueprints of if they have researched it via credits to be able to craft that said item/warframe/weapon for yourself
★ Weapons/Warframes are basically the foundation of what you'll be building upon. Mods are used to build upon that foundation and they can be upgraded and come in many forms. Always look out for them and always keep one mod of the same type (you can choose to sell duplicates if you wish). Knowing what the different types of damages do and how to mod for them is good to know: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_2.0
★ In certain mission types such as survival, as a new player DO NOT run around and use all of the life support capsules because that is a waste for you & everyone else and it is annoying (might be considered trolling to some people). Life support capsules are something that you use when your life support is low below 40% or so and using them early is just a major waste
★ Early on for new players it's alot better to do Dark Sector missions which are always against Infested enemies to get Credits and Affinity (experience), however you will need to join a clan before being able to play on one of them: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Sector
★ Get Mastery Rank 2 so you can start trading by selling stuff on https://warframe.market/ to earn platinum for yourself but keep in mind only certain things are tradeable. Resources and normal warframes/weapons are NOT tradeable. Learn what can be traded here: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Trading

While warframe.market isn't the ONLY way to trade it is a lot more easier to use for newer players who wish to get into trading and the prices are always changing due to supply & demand, sometimes the prices on here will VARY from trade chat (but Trade Chat prices ARE NOT set in stone either)
★ You can mark things such as mods or resources with 'G' or mark a specific point of interest that you would wish for people to check out. For instance if you see a green line thing where an enemy or group of enemies were at then you can use 'G' to mark that specific resource for people to come pick up
★ Don't worry about the 'meta' just use whatever you like and try experimenting with things. You don't need specialized builds for warframes or weapons until after you finish the Star Chart anyways
★ If you need anything in particular such as a resource then feel free to ask in recruitment chat because there are people that are willing to help you by taxi'ing you to that planet (taxi meaning that you or they join the same squad then they select a mission node on a planet)
★ You can use a Forma to add another polarity to your weapon/warframe/etc when you put a mod in the same polarity (symbol) slot it will cut that mods cost in half, however when you use a Forma on something it will reset that items rank back to unranked then you have to level it to 30 again. Having multiple Forma on an item means you'll be able to place make use of your mod capacity on that item better: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Polarization
★ Reactors (for your Warframes/Sentinels/Companions) or Catalysts (for your Weapons) are used to double your Mod Capacity on whatever item you're using them on but generally for new players it isn't advised to use them until you have found something that you really like or plan to use for a long time. There are sometimes various alerts or invasion missions to be able to get these without having to pay anything, also might come as a sortie reward depending on your RNG
★ You can use Endo ( http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Endo ) to upgrade your mods. Endo is dropped by enemies, can be a mission/bounty reward, sortie reward, coverting duplicate/excess mods to endo, and you can also covert Ayatan Sculptures into Endo at Maroo's Bazaar at Mars

★ Complete the starting story quests to be able to get most of the functionality for your ship (various other things may become unlocked as you finish certain story quests or other methods)
★ Completing all of the planet nodes will allow for you to do Nightmare Missions which are missions that have modifiers but you will get a random Nightmare mod when you complete them. Farming nightmare mods is quite handy and a lot of them are used often and you can even sell them for platinum to people (recommended to use something like https://warframe.market/ to do so)
★ Do Junctions in order to advance to new planets to be able to fight new bosses which drop Warframe parts (some warframes can come from clantech research or other methods like story quests). Junctions give you rewards from story quests to various blueprints to help you ease into the game more and they also reward you with some Mastery XP
★ Once you have completed all of the star chart then you can look into doing whatever you want and exploring the game much further indepth, such as focusing on more specialized builds for your frames/weapons/etc or whatever you want really
★ After completing the star chart then you can use some of the following to get what you need: Akkad (Eris) / Hydron (Sedna) / Bere (Sedna) / Helene (Saturn) / Io (Jupiter) for Affinity farming and the Index for Credit farming (recommended to do Medium Risk since it gives 135k credits and you can use a Credit Booster to double your reward)

(Keep in mind since a certain patch that some Warframes have switched locations farming wise with Excalibur being on Mars, Trinity on Pluto, and Frost being on Ceres)

Warframe wiki explains all damage types well.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_2.0#Overview_Table

Overview table shows what damage type is effective against what. If you click on Impact damage there, it will tell you more what status effect Impact does and what enemy types it is effective to. If you are uncertain what enemies have "Proto shield" click on it and it will open list of the enemies.

Another, slower way is to scan enemies. There are Codex Scanners in the market and you get 20 scanners for 500 credits. Scannin an enemy consumes 1 scan enemy is added in the Codex. (Codex is opposite side to Market console) When certain enemy is scanned enough times it will show its weakness and what mods they drop.

There is Helios sentinel that scans enemies and other objects automatically if they haven't been scanned enough into the Codex.

How to use Codex scanner? You have to go in the Arsenal, select Gear and put Codex Scanner in one of the gear slots. Then you open gear wheel in the mission and scan targets. Scanner shows enemies through walls so it's good for stealth and find secret rooms and areas.

[Egg, Friend of Ham]

Yeah, I am currently working to MR8 so I can craft Helios Prime. I got everything I need. Just need one more Lv.

Heres the guide I've given to my friends. It's a long one, but very detailed.

wrong - thunder clap build - strength range press 4 and hit 4 again- use rift to revive

[32141242142141]

I agree warframe wiki is a pain in the ass to read if you are new, so you can try either asking on chat or using youtube (though some videos can be either outdated or innacurate).

while you are still learning you can prioritize:

*unlocking most nodes
*completing main quests
*getting corrupted mods with a group on derrelict capture. these are needed to build your warframe
*farming ducats for this weekend (don't buy slash/puncture mods from the void trader)
*trading for platinum to buy more warframe/weapon slots. use ''nexustats'' or ''warframe trader'' to check prices
*(optional) if you want to get loki, ember and frost time(along with weapons and a sentinel) , they are avaiable for a limited time. you must complete bounties on cetus and hope a relic drops as a reward for the parts/blueprints

lol the irony
"Nobody knows how to play limbo" statement still stands, that got nerfed weeks after it was concieved and no longer works

[Anonn 20 16]

yeah wiki is your best friend. but don't look things ahead of time, only look up things you don't know when it's needed. i didn't do that and spoiled some big surpsises.
