[Newbie] Orokin Vault Deimos

[CONGRATU BLOODY LATIONS]

Im noob, mR5 now. I just wanna farm plat so i decide to sell corrupted mods from orokin vault.

Been searching it on extermination/capture deimos, usually take 20mins to find the orokin vault door. It's not very efficient,people usually took max 3 minutes

Any tips/hint/clue how to find that door fast?

There's no way to find the doors quickly unless you happen to get lucky (otherwise we'd all get those mods and they wouldn't be so valuable) or if your squad is smart enough to split up (because everyone checking the same areas one-at-a-time is wasting time)

There are a few ways to make the process less painful, like using Limbo's rift to ignore enemies, or Operator mode to ignore any dragon key penalties, but that's about it

[Fake]

I use Loki (prime) but normal Loki works too.

Build for duration and efficiency. Stay invisible and bullet jump everywhere. Personally, I find capture missions the quickest.

Capture
Head to extraction
If the Vault is on the way or at extraction, sweet, If not, no biggie.
Repeat.

*Edit, this is me soloing Vaults with all 4keys. It's quick and easy.

Do you have volt? If you don't pick it as starter frame you can get one at your clan dojo. Volt makes the searching process a bit faster if you use all 4 keys because of his speed and ult stunning enemies. To find door fast just do it like fake, go to extraction and only open when it coincides with your exit route. There's no sure way to find vault since the map is randomly generated

I do the low level exterminate which I think has smaller more linear layouts (in my limited experience anyway), like 90% of the time the vault door is clearly visible on the way to extraction and the entire mission takes like 5-10 minutes depending on if I'm doing other stuff at the same time (leveling a crap weapon, scanning cats, breaking containers for mutagen, etc.). They aren't going to be "hidden" so you don't need to do much searching like with the sabotage caches, the vaults are just a normal room piece that shows up attached to other room pieces in the normal way, with a fancy obvious door.

Not entirely true, you can speed run it.

Once we did some vault runs with a squad, the 4th player left and an mr30 joined. He knew exactly where could the vault show up and he found it in 30 sec. The vaults have locations where it can show up and locations where it never appears. As his rank shows, it needs practice

With my not so limited experience: Can confirm.
Reason for this over capture e.g. is that capture always has the "exit teleporter" for the capture target, which will be "off road"- not in a direct line to the exit. But it can still hold the vault, or even a few more "off road" rooms prior and after. Which again can have the vault.
Both, the first capture and exterminate, are still quite small though - so well suited for vault runs.

True, although rank is no sign of that (and thats me, MR 30 telling so :P ).
I just taught a "med level" friend those tricks, besides he often behaves way more "veteran" than some MR30's...
But practise matters, yes. Some of these doors can actually be pretty hidden too.
For starters: take a look at all "tile connecting doors", the vault acts like its own tile. You will probably know them after a few runs, the tileset is quite old and limited. Which also already excludes certain areas due to size if you take a look at the map. Oh yes, have the map open is probably a good idea as well.

Personally i run it in SP with equinox nowadays. To scan cats along the way with increased chances of genetic codes and - it takes a few minutes depending on the amount of cats. Thus i sometimes get some steel essences too ;)

RNG, sometimes it'll be right behind you at the start then sometimes you go through the whole mission and it'll be at extraction left or right hand side

IMO, farming plat isn't worth it. What I mean is, if you just waited until you got one of those sale-coupons from the daily bonus and bought plat for 50% off, then the equivalent price works out to about 130-160 plat per hour at minimum wage. So in other words, if you spend more than an hour grinding Warframe to earn less than ~140 plat, you are literally making less than minimum wage.

If you have any kind of job where you could just pick up an extra shift, then there would be better ways to spend your time and you could instead do the stuff in Warframe that you actually enjoy.

You cant sell plat. But you can gain it while playing. Its fun not work. Its just another resource for progress.
Then again 200 plat n hour are possible.

I enjoy my job, but i enjoy farming in warframe as a compensation. Its a farming game after all. If you aint into farming you should probably take a few more extra shifts at work instead.
Of course the occasional platinum package or prime access is still neato. And refills the economy with plat again ;)

Yeah, I never said you couldn't farm it, only that it didn't seem worth it to me. Since there's not a huge platinum sink in the game unless you want to get into Riven mods (AFAIK), all I really need it for is weapon and Warframe slots, plus the occasional prime-part THAT JUST WILL NOT DROP NO MATTER HOW MANY RELICS I OPEN DAMN YOU RNGJESUS!....

Sorry, where was I? Oh yeah- part of the issue as I see it is that there is a lot of luck or chance or whatever you want to call it involved, which can be frustrating. And that frustration doubles if it's something that feels like a job. I'd rather buy the plat and then farm a new 'frame or gun or sword or something.

But obviously it all depends on the person. I'm at a point in my life where time is more valuable to me than money (at least small amounts of entertainment-money); I realize for other people the situation might be different. For example if you're a student who's cash-poor but has lots of time on their hands, etc etc etc. I still think anyone who needs platinum should at least evaluate the benefit of a part-time job instead though. In a single afternoon of driving for UBER (or something like that) you can earn enough money to keep you well-supplied with platinum for months.

Well don't need to fight or argue.

I have my way to speedrun capture mission to get Lith relic for 1m to 1m30s per run (Void capture but i forgot the node name).
OR Meso relic for 5minutes at io(Jupiter).

And i sell them directly. For lith usually 6:4 for meso and neo 6:6 to 6:8 . Yes it's dirt cheap compared to you veteran dudes that has thousand plats.

Let's say 6 relic for 4 plat. I only need +-10minutes.

Rather than play fissure for 10minutes or more, hoping to get uncommon/rare OR to get prime frame parts and wait for any people who actually wants for it.

So, due to trade limit. I barely could make 30 to 36 plat a day by just doing a 4hrs gameplay including afk, eating, helping friends or so. Yea most people made thousand plat a day but I'm not on that level yet. But I'm not forcing or burning out my time.

Btw u guys talking about work shift, i don't work. I sell groceries. So can we consider that as a same things?

Goodluck tennos
