why do some mods cost so much endo and credits?

[jimmy]

30k endo and 1.7m credits to max out one mod is ridiculous, like i actually wonder if im ever gonna be able to max out even one of my umbra mods and not live in my basement never going outside

[romy]

if you are short on endo and credits but want a maxed out primed mod for some reason, you can simply use a legendary core and you will max out your mod without needing endo or credits.

Else just do it next week when you have enough ressources, i'm sure you can manage playing a bit more without that maxxed out mod.

[Dave from work]

Because the game needs to be artificially inflating your playtime.
So that it looks like people are engaging with "content" on paper.
That's why.

You know all those duplicate mods you get hundreds and thousands of? Convert them into endo.

i do it daily, it helps but not exactly gets me in the thousands of endo

that's the thing, you don't "need" to max out mods. most enemies are low levels anyway.

sure but i still want to progress in the game, right now i have some good builds that can carry me to lvl 70 enemies and maybe 85. but still i dont find it fun to stay in the same spot

what are legendary cores? also can it max out other mods too like corrupted mods

[SQLOwns]

just buy a legendary core, still cost 1m in trade, but 0 endo and creds to rank up

You can max any mod with it, so it's better to use it to max mods with lots of levels.

where do i buy them?

[Khanwolf]

they will drop in the daily Sortie Lvl 65-100 or the weekly Archon Hunts. Their Chance is less than 1%... This means, you will net a Core every 4 weeks on average.

They can be traded between Players, if you are willing to pay 1 million Creds Trade-Tax to the Engine. (What happened there, DE? 0.2% Chance was not enough Drama?)

Collect all the Ayatan Treasures too you can find, including Maroo's Mission. You can also find Ayatan Statues randomly in Missions, so walking around and exploring is no shame. You can exchange Statues with Maroo for Endo. Use your Mod Forge to put the Ayatan Stars into these Statues for more Endo Gain.

You buy them from other players on warframe market, but they cost 140-175 platinum right now. I do not recommend this strategy unless you plan to spend a significant amount of real money on the game. If you farm items to sell for plat to do this the "free" way, I think that time and platinum would be better spent on other things in game

it didnt always use to be like this.

Yeah, it was much worse because the costs were the same, but you didn't have Arbitrations, Ayatans, Index or Profit Taker to farm on.

then dont play the game

thanks bro great advice -_-

Honestly this person is probably being a, but they're not lying. Dont play the game if you have a life and arent a basement dweller. If I could find a game that scratches the itch like warframe I would.
When I'm not having to farm something I need in the game like a little, it can and is fun. I've played so many games and unfortunately it sucks to say none have ever scratched that itch and sucks. These 4 things keep me held hostage by this game. The parkour, gunplay, modding system and warframes abilities.
Other games are just so unimaginative these days and soulless. Truly theres a lot I hate about all this but I cant lie and say these devs dont care and have soul for this game. It just sucks these devs arent very talented when it comes to coding cause theres still bugs from 2016 around. But of course the excuse for that is "Well all games are buggy now so its okay its okay"

But yea if you can stop playing this game absolutely try stopping and play something else less abusive and better. Read or dont read my comment i dont care but big fat chance is the moderator from this sub is gonna delete my comment the second they read it since he or she has already deleted quite a few of comments around here. Remember, kiss kiss kiss their butts you cant say anything negative about the game.

Where are you getting the "1 in 4 weeks on average" from? The legendary core has a drop rate of 0.18% according to the official drop tables. If you ran every single daily sortie of the year plus the weekly archon hunt (so 365 sorties + 52 archons) you would have rolled the odds 417 times. Odds of finding a core at that point are: 1 - (0.9982 ^ 417) = 0.52824 OR 52.82%

ONE YEAR of sorties and Archon hunts without missing a single day is barely better than a 50/50 to find ONE SINGLE core.

I have gotten a single core from sorties/archons in almost 6k hours played, I have no idea what you're talking about lol

If you want endo, do Arbitrations, that's at least half the point of them. You are over 50% to get a large amount of endo (~1K+) every single rotation. If you want credits, do the Index, hundreds of thousands of credits every round. If you don't have access to these or can't do them easily, you don't need to max your mods. The cost of levelling a mod literally doubles each level, so going from 9->10 costs as much as going from 0->9. One level is not going to make or break a mod at that point, just leave those ones with lots of levels 1-2 levels off maxed for a while, you lose very little power doing so and save a ton of materials.

As for your initial question of "why", to make you do the above (or other) content would be a good reason. Barely anyone would do the Index if they didn't need the credits, for example, but since they do, you can almost always find a team doing it.
