Is there an official answer on how to unlock Phobos and Void?

[Hentai Gravity]

Or is it truly an oversight? Because it seems to be taking pretty long to fix something that is pretty much preventing beginners from playing the game.

I've seen a lot of answers about this topic with some suggesting taxi ... but what are we really supposed to do?

I have two guesses ... I have 50x the paid currency so I presume that new accounts get that and maybe I'm supposed to use it to build the wings.

My second guess is that I need to farm my way to mastery level 3.

In both cases I'm not even sure if either of those guarantees that I can access Phobos so I don't want to waste my 50x currency.

What wings? Archwing? Why would you have to spend platinum on them? Save that platinum or spend it on warframe and weapon slots right now. Do not spend it on anything else because slots limit your experience.

Everything that helps you in missions (warframes, mods, weapons, archwings) can be crafted or enemies drop their blueprints or they are clan research. Only cosmetics and slots must be paid with platinum.

Could you be more specific ? What is the problem with unlocking Phobos ?

[Hentai Gravity]

To get the Archwings, you need 4 control modules which you can't farm before Phobos.
To unlock Phobos you need to seal 3 lith fissures - you need to go to the void to do that.
To unlock Void you need to go to Phobos.

You could also go through Ceres -> Jupiter -> Europa -> Void ... but to unlock Ceres you need to kill the boss on Phobos.

[croquemorttime]

Actually you don't need to go to the void to seal lith fissures, there are usually some popping on mars for that purpose...
BUT, you may have to wait for one :)

The grind to Mastery 3 is easy. You get 6.000 Xp for a Frame and 3.000 for a Weapon that you level to rank 30 (for the first time).
There are some "MK-1" Weapons that everyone can buy for credits. Warframe parts are found as Missionreward from Bossmissions.

For that Lith Fissure you need. Those Fissure spots change (you see a Timer below it). If you do not have the location unlocked wait, ask a Friend / Clanmember or a Random in the Recru Chat.

With the Control Modules i can not help directly but dropp some knowledge from the ENG Warframe Wikia.

"Control Modules are rare components that can be found in Neptune, Europa and the Void, dropping from enemies and containers. They are usually found in quantities of 1 to 3, and are most commonly obtained by defeating the Hyena Pack (Psamathe) or the Raptor (Naamah)"

As a hint. Those are "rare" and thus marked as a green drop with a light pylon.

[Hentai Gravity]

For void fissures, every time I have looked the first one has always been at Void, so I'm not convinced that it might ever go on Mars.
As of now, the timer just got reset. It was Void before, and it's Void now again.

Mastery 3 seems doable, I crafted some weapons I didn't want just for this purpose, but I'm not sure that it's what I need to proceed.

I read the wiki article abour Control Modules and the problem is that I cannot access any of those locations yet.

I registered an account but I activated writes at the entrance: You can not enter. Wrong data

Then it is an oversight from DE.
You might have to wait for a patch to fix that. The game has been running poorly since the Specters of the Rail patch. With hotfixes every day.

The only other way for you to get them. Ask nicely in the Recru Chat for a Taxi to a Void mission or a Planet that has Modules. But beware the Level of those missions, if you die a lot the others will not have a good time.

[Hentai Gravity]

Alright. I guess it confirms that it's not intentional and that for now I really need a taxi.
Thank you for the help.

I just played a little bit of the junctions starting on Earth to see a Fresh Starters Path

First of all, you can reach any planet without problems. Just wating time and a bit of RNG with those Fissure Quests.

The first time you realy NEED an Archwing is the Jupiter Junction on Ceres. For that Junction you have to complete the Main Quest "The Archwing"
Once Phobos is unlocked (and played thru a bit) you can access the first Void Mission, in which Control Modules can dropp.



How to get to Phobos
1. Defeat 150 Enemys in a single mission on Mars.
-> Play Mars - Wahabi or Mars - Spear

2. Scan 5 Cephalon Fragments on Mars
-> Those can be found in any Mars misstion that is on the Planet. Look for 4 blue circles on your minimap or a big blue Chunk in the Mission. You can scan those with a Scanner (bought at your Configurationstation under "Gear"
-> Mars - Ara is a good Mission to get those quick

3. Seal 3 Lith Fissures
-> You need 3 Lith Relics to do this (can be farmed on Earth - Cervantes). The Lith Fissure Mission is ALWAYS random (they refresh every 3-4 hours). Hope you get a Mission on an unlocked Planet / Node or Ask in the Recruit Chat for a Lith Fissure Group.



Hint: To see those Cephalon Fragments earlier in your Minimap use Mods that boost your Loot Radar. Loot Detector (Aura) or Thief's Wit (Exilus)

for gods sake dude, just reach the needed mastery rank and you are good to go - what is the big deal here? mr3 you can reach in two days (and only because of the needed build-time of weapons). just farm resources you'll need for the next few weapons/frames/companion after that.
if you would need to reach, lets say, mr12 to proceed, then the fuss about it , i'd understand but mr3....please? hell, i'm not sure you actually need a specific rank anymore to get there, so i guess you have a problem with getting to phobos at all - thanks to the junction, right? well, idk about you, but i saw more than enough lith-fissure-alerts the last few days on plantes that you can access (mercury, venus, earth and mars) to obtain those 3 closed lith alerts (you know you do NOT need them to do on mars, do you?) also you can repeat one and the same alert as long as it's online - so you only need to get one suitable one. not really that hard, eh?

Lith Fissure @ Venus for 3 hours

Show them what you got.

[Hentai Gravity]

Yeah I got my 3 fissures now. I'm thankful I finally got that chance, the fissure alerts have always been for void each time I looked so I thought it was locked onto void.
