1. If you're still a new player then I wouldn't really recommend it, since pretty much everything in the game can be farmed one way or another. Maybe getting the cosmetic pack would be worth it since you can't get the various accessories in the pack after the Prime Acess for Nekros is gone. Though it's up to you if you want to buy the regular Prime Access or not really.

2. See Archwraith's reply below.

------------------------------------------

Pretty much everything in this game that you can see in the Market can be farmed (except for the cosmetics unless you sell various things for platinum to other players to then get those). All of the weapons/warframes/archwings/etc that you see are either farmed via certain methods, from Market blueprints (which you can get for credits), killing bosses for parts or are clantech only which you can get from joining a clan with the research done. Even the landing craft for instance can be farmed and crafted, there is an exception to that which is the Vaulted primed warframes and weapons which aren't on the drop tables anymore but you can buy the various sets or parts from other players via trade. DE has mentioned that it is possible for various vaulted warframes / weapons / etc to come back eventually in due time. So it's more of a waiting game if you're waiting for a certain something.

If anything it's pay for convience or pay to look good, but even if you do buy things like warframes or weapons (which you can farm for yourself) it won't really make you 'good' at the game, as that comes from lots of experience and mastering it's mechanics. So, even if some new player paid tons of cash for stuff it won't make them any better at the game, plus they won't even have the mods to be able to use some of those weapons or warframes to their fullest potential (depending what you choose to build for). Later on you can sell various goods to other players to earn platinum for yourself, but that starts at mastery rank 2 and getting the goods to sell to other players may be tricky early on.

Also, if you do plan on playing the game DO NOT buy the packs from Steam, you would be way better off in the long run to wait for a 75% discount from the daily login then buying one of the platinum bundles that way and you'll get more out your money this way than buying one of the DLC packs which have easy farmable stuff and less platinum than you would get than using the discount and buying it yourself.

You can check below for various tools to help you, such as the warframe wiki, warframe builder (for various builds for everything in the game made by other players), deathsnacks' timers & alert/invasion/etc info, and warframe market (for price checking and trading with other players, really recommended for new players who want to start trading):

Warframe Wiki: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/WARFRAME_Wiki

Warframe Market: https://warframe.market/

Deathsnacks Alert/Invasion/Etc. Info & Timers: http://deathsnacks.com/wf/

You can pretty much do whatever you want, however it would be a good idea to get a better grasp of things first before moving onto more harder content. Slowly building up your own arsenal of warframes, weapons, mods, etc is something that will come in time as you continue to make/acquire them but getting through some of the early game content will help ease you into the mid and even end game stuff.

Getting things like warframe/weapon slots is a top priority followed by things like Orokin Reactors/Catalysts which sometimes there are alerts or invasions for those ingame that can show up from time to time.


But, overall you should focus on doing your early game stuff which is to unlock all the planets (doing the junctions to get to new planets), joining a clan (for various clantech weapons/warframes/etc and friends), getting basic mods for weapons/warframes/etc (these also include doing various mission types like spy missions to get certain mods or kill certain types of enemies to get mod drops, too), doing story quests to learn more about the game (plus get nice rewards, there are also story quests that you get from doing junctions to unlock some new warframes), making new warframes/weapons/sentinels/etc, starting to focus on certain types of weapons/warframes that you like to use, and getting relics from diffferent mission types like excavation, survival, defense, etc so that you can start looking into the prirme weapons/warframes/etc that you want for yourself.


Mid game is more or less getting more rarer mods (like corrupted mods from vault runs and such), selling things via trade to start making platinum for yourself, leveling syndicates, doing fissures to get various prime parts for warframes/weapons/etc (which you will want to get upgraded relics using void traces), getting ducats by trading various prime parts to the ducat kisok in a relay (ducats and credits are used to buy stuff from the Void trader that comes every couple of weeks and brings some Primed mods plus cosmetic stuff, too) and starting to look to build your weapons/warframes/etc by forma'ing them (plus getting things like orokin reactors/catalysts, exilus adapters, etc for your warframes/weapons)

End game content is stuff like sorties which are high level missions that impose various requirements on the players doing them or buff various aspects of enemies, raids which can have up to 8 players in them to be able to get Arcanes which can sell for alot of plat, getting high mastery rank by mastering more weapons/warframes/etc, using platinum to buy various vaulted prime weapons or warframes or even expensive mods, and fashion (being the true end game)

Weapon and frame bought via PA can be accessed instantly, regardless of MR.

1) No, 140$ is not worth it. I got Nekros, Tigris and Galatine prime in about a week after their release. As a new player you will obviously take more time to get it, but it isn't too hard to get that. Only Prime Accesories are kinda ''worth it'' if you are into collecting exclusive items for
''end game'' Fashion Frame.

2) Yes, you will be able to use them instantly. Prime Access bypasses mastery lock on those weapons. Only crafted version have mastery lock on them.

[Kaulder]

The amount time you pay real dough for Warframe is cosmetics or for discounted plat. When you hit -75% off platinum, buy the 4k option and you basically paid less than 60 bucks for so many prime accesses:D (Trade plat for parts) In addition, you just started out so make sure you really like the game before paying.

[flamedance58]

I would also suggest not buying anything until you're a month in. A lot can be farrmed and sold to get Platinum and thus buy things like Nekros Prime parts from other players.

It will also give you time to see if this game is going to be a long term game for you. I've said the same thing to a lot of my clan mates and close friends who play WF that if you're not still playing often in a month then don't bother. Cause $140~ (depending on currency) is a good chunk of a rent payment so make sure WF is your main stay before deciding to drop cash on it.

[PhellAsleep]

I would not recommend the new Prime Access to a new player because none of those items work that well without the application of high end mods. The current meta to make Nekros good uses syndicate and simaris mods that a new player won't have access to. Tigris needs reload speed mods. Melee in general doesn't get that good until you add rare stances and event mods.

You're better off playing through the game normally, until you have enough mods to actually make those items worth using.

That quest is unlocked through the Mercury Junction on Venus, comlete the tasks listed on that junction and then enter the junction and defeat the spectre and you will get the listed rewards including the once awake quest
