"And his Chassis. Well you already have his Chassis." This is just perfect, everybody gets so many, you practically end up with enough Credits for a prime mod once you've sold them.
When they did a quick test run of Prime Resurgence, I knew I was gonna do a lot of fissure missions so I sold all my Harrow Chassis BP's just to see how many I'd have at the end. It was over 250 and that was with me not even really playing the last two weeks.
Now that we've seen how good a pity system is with voruna, i really wish it's either implemented retroactively for older frames or kept as a new standard moving forward.
I would like more game modes like disruption that actually reward u for staying in the mission but I don't think they'd do it, the more time u spend in game the better, DE has even crippled some farms to make them less efficient in the past
@@theabysswalker114 "oh, you're actually USING Nekros' 3rd ability for its intended use? haha, nooooo. nooooo fck you and all the grindin you have to do"
My free time is devided between playing warframe, watching stuff i already know about warframe, watching stuff i don't know about warframe, both of which make me want to play warframe and a little amount of time doing something else, i love the way you explain stuff, it makes listening to things i already know oddly satisfiying
Move warframe from your recommendation, don't play everyday. Till you enjoy it there is no reason to stop but it's good to change your mind sometime. There are so many other good game.
As someone who's played Warframe since Operation Fusion MOA it feels a bit surreal to see how some warframes went from piss easy to acquire relatively early (e.g. Oberon, Ash, Trinity etc.) to being relatively grindy compared to when you can start farming them
I would just like to say that Titania was brutal for me to get because I couldn’t get the right flowers because of the time of day that I could play. One night I just sat down and was like “okay let’s do this”
Yeah the day/night cycle for the normal nodes is 4h it is not linked to the plains timer. that is something many get wrong as its not in the game you have to use a 3rd party source to know
@@azurephantom100 But if you're always playing within the same 4 hour window every day, then you get locked into Earth being set to that same state every time you're playing. Predictable but frustrating if you don't have a lot of free time
I feel like Gara should've had some extra points in resources due to most of the recipes being rep locked, meaning that for a newer player, you're 1-2 weeks of repcapping daily away from even crafting all ingredients.
While I mostly agree, I have a friend that joined the game recently and has not even unlocked Mars yet, but he spent the time on the Plains to get Gara as his second frame.
@@AmieW maybe he just realllly digs the glass theme, since doing the fun thing beats doing the most logical thing 9 times out of ten, but, I couldn't farm endless Plains bounties while going for a second frame, that's nuts.
I'd honestly give Equinox 4 stars. Not because her farm is hard or anything, but it takes so damn long compared to everything else. Even Grendel, assuming you have the right equipment and strategy, will take less time per part.
I have to agree with this. I think it’s easier to get Equinox Prime. I forget what MR I am but I know I have all the other frames and I’m pretty sure I still don’t have regular Equinox. Then when I look in my inventory I feel guilty that I still haven’t farmed all the parts.
Equinox easily took me 40+ runs. I don't remember what part I needed, but me and my friend both needed that exact same part coincidentally and we had to grind for DAYS to get it.
not so fun fact: Ivara, my current main, took me HUNDREDS of Lua spy runs across several WEEKS just to get ONE part of her, keeping in mind I was speedrunning lua spy with limbo so I was doing it insanely fast I later proceeded to get nidus in the minimum number of runs and all of the time spent was just farming the resources required for him
i got hildryn prime in four relics. one for each part. I can't imagine how stupid it would've been farming her normally especially with my fear of spiders and the fact I hadn't even beaten the star chart
Farming the prime is always gonna be easier unless its a vaulted one. After all getting a prime just means doing a bunch of hepit/ukko/apollo then doing some fissures, it really doesnt get any simpler than that. Time investment on the other hand...
@@AtomicAlchemist farming nekros is 10x easier than unvaulted nekros prime. Just run in. Kill the boss. Leave. Shoulr be done in less than 10 runs and each run only takes around 3 minutes.
voruna and stynax make me realize that having the ability to buy the blueprints from faction vendors could help frames like gara and garuda to get more screen time. sure it would cost rep points, and hell they could make worth a couple thousand, but it would really help with those "soft locks"
Funnily enough, DE kinda tested this out in whispers with how Qorvex is. You can get him from the bounties or from standing at 20k rep a piece hell he's also the ONLY frame that has a quest-related blueprint available from a reputation OTHER then simarius
Tbf the eidolon and deimos bounties to farm the 2 frames from each open world doesn't take that long nor is it difficult for new players who generally get the frames by accident when grinding the good mods from open world. Fortuna is an exception since it is so miserable to grind, but that isn't fault of the bounty system
@@user-jm8sy5ox2jit took me longer to just get Xaku chassis than all other of his parts, I wouldn't say it's easy, because these kinds of statistical anomalies are very common
If youre watching this in 2024 here’s a tip, a lot of frames are in duviri circuit missions but only up to 3 of them a week can be seen and 1 can be chosen. This includes frames like Ash, Inaros, Atlas, etc.
@@grxy5924 Absolutely! You also get to use the frames and weapons you have already, and get to try new ones through your play. You get to pick one of three warframes to unlock, and they reset every Monday, where you choose new ones. The cycle repeats for those every 11 weeks. The key issue, is the Duviri Paradox Quest must be completed to unlock it. In that place is also another 2 Warframes that the above did not mention, though only one is gotten in there. That is Kullervo and Dagath. Kullervo is only one found in Duviri, as a farm, or a standing purchase. Dagath is found in the Dojo in a separate location. Both of these warframes are native to Duviri, and requires resources found only in there.
I feel like you really underestimated how often the Exploiter Orb fight just breaks. Every other run, the minions will spawn in a cave or on the other side of a mountain, breaking their pathfinding, forcing you to hunt them down.
Yeah Hyldrin was hands down the worst to get out of all frames except for Caliban maybe. Took me 23 exploiter kills just for 1 set, got "lucky" and only needed 7 more kills to complete the 2nd set for helminth.
@@IntermezzoR Counterpoint: Ropalolyst fight breaking hard. Especially on release. Not that it's much better now. God that fight is broken and janky as hell.
Exploiter fight breaking ? I have farmed that thing so freaking much for myself and to help friends lvl rep in fortuna and i have never see any bug in that fight, aways a fast, easy and fun af fight and never see a bug not even once. This must be hella rare, or something very especific must trigger the bug idk.
It’s really not that bad though. You just have to launch your Archwing and scan the perimeter. The coolant gremlins tend to hide around the opposite side of the big mountain that Deck 12 is underneath. Profit Taker is still worse, mostly because of how it’s essentially impossible to solo as an inexperienced player, since the mechanics are poorly explained in-game and on the wiki. Eidolons share this same problem, unfortunately. Like, if you know what you’re doing they are trivial. But they are quite difficult to learn and have a lot of moving parts. I swear learning the different spy nodes is simpler than learning Eidolon/PT fights…
love that the frame that takes the longest is the big 50th frame who got given out for free for a month. Its like they want him to be as much of n achievement for us to get him as it was for them to make him.
it's a time-gate/weekly-reset not a farm so he's damned easy to get your hands on unless the thought of spending 20-30 minutes for 4-5 weeks stresses you out. all that DE handing him out early did was let me pick up the weapons a little earlier as the stock/tokens to get him may be limited but they are incredibly easy & fast to reliably obtain.
Got lucky and grabed him both times DE gave it for free, so i subsumed one, then got the other maxed out, but that was a while ago. Then last week i did Veilbreaker and unlocked Kahl missions, looking at the shop and knowing that i can just skip his grind was such a relief lol, that's 540 Stock i won't have to farm, so i will probably have everything i want from Kahl in the 4 weeks it takes to reach max rank with the garrison.
It's so weird to me that such a good beginner frame like Styanax is one of the latest grinds you can do. When you have enough playtime to get him, you already got more "efficient" warframes at your disposal. I used him on my brothers old account (loki starter) and he handles quite nice with very basic mods only. Thanks for the video!
@@SnailSnail-lo4pm Except by the time you get him through actually grinding for him, you'll most likely already have a better option for anything his kit is good for
@@edwardking9359 he's pretty good for lich hunting bc I'm pretty sure Rev got nerfed. Banshee is also good for it but she lacks survivability. He's a very versatile frame that can be applied to just about anywhere.
@Snail066 Snail 06 What Revenant nerf? Ever since they added guaranteed 1 sec invulnerability per mesmer skin stack he's been impossible to die on (unless you accidentally run into a nullifier and don't have rolling guard)
To improve farming warframes, DE should use a drop system that gives you the part you do not have in your inventory.Similar system was used on kubrow eggs preventing players from getting more than 1.
I disagree with Yareli's rating. All of the open world frames need alloys to build, which are locked behind rep grind in that specific area. It's softlocked thanks to rep cap depending on your mastery, and an absolute pain to complete.
Yareli's open world requirements are very tame. The highest SU rank requirement is Outworlder (Rank 1) for the Venerdo Alloy BP. 5k standing to achieve R1, 1k for Heart Noctrul BP, 2k for Venerdo Alloy BP, 2.5k for a mining laser, and 500 for a shock prod spear for a total of 11k standing. It's also possible to cut 2k standing by picking the Venerdo Alloy BP as the rank up reward. Players start with a base standing cap of 16k, which means Yareli is not time gated at all.
Absolutely amazing video, great work as usual! I used your first Longest Farm video to farm all warframes from easy to hard and bought some of the longest farm ones for plat because at some point it‘s faster farming the plat needed than grinding for ghe frame itself. I really love how you not just added the new frames but revisited all frames to include all the secondary requirements that can be a real setback when players don‘t know what farm to expect. Thank you for making our playtime easier!
He compensated the hydroid farm by saying that Vay Hek's mission was higher level than most very early game bosses. I still think it should have been mentioned, but the difference it made was adjusted for.
great video. next time, it might be neat to have the stars actually be color-coded by the type of gate it is; progression, parts farm, and resource farm
I know the average for those assassination missions is supposed to be 5 runs, but with my experience I have been feeling very lucky to get those in 5 runs, I usually ended up needing 10+ for all of them
Fantastic video, I have all frames prime and not, but this will still be useful to me as a reference once I get the sheer courage to refarm everything for Helminth
I think a lot of beginners would rate Vauban a lot harder to get as spending 75 Nora Creds competes with getting precious potatoes from her shop which beginners have very limited amounts of. At least this is how I experienced it.
As a pretty new player myself I disagree. I got Vauban the instant I found the shop as I was like “oh a new frame me want” and had no idea what potatos were.
Agreed and I would argue to hold onto your NW creds for other stuff and just buy his main BP with normal creds and then finish the duviri paradox to run The Circuit to tier 8 and just wait for Vauban to be one of the 3 choices(arguably making Vauban not an "early game" frame for you if you take this route unless youre perfectly fine being carried later into the runs or spending a very long time making short runs to reach tier 8). Blowing 75 NW creds on normal Vauban just isn't worth it in the long run imo as there will be mods that are exclusive to NW that you can buy on top of potatoes, both of which are far more worth buying for a new player than Vauban.
I was one of the unfortunate people that missed out on Styanax, so imagine my surprise when I saw the grind requirements.. I tryharded every Kahl mission, thankfully had all the rep gems but that took another day, and then all of the thrax plasm and lanthorn farming. All of this just so I can master him during the weekend and immediately subsume him for Tharros Strike. Warframe, I guess.
I think this would be a great idea to do yearly! Along with Brozime's Tier List, new players would have a great resource and us oldies would be able to compare across time.
Great video!. Thanks for putting all the effort to break down the grind for players. I really enjoy your mathematical approach to the game. Keep the videos coming!
You forgot to mention you need judgment points to initiate Kela's assassination mission so I'd say add her to the 3* because you need pre-grind to access her mission.
And even with all the judgement I had stashed, I used it all up and didn't get all Saryn parts for Helminth food. Though I was a bit more lucky when getting the first Saryn.
Just a disclaimer for any new players that don't know, he showed their primes where applicable, so your farmed frames will differ. Also so glad I got ash and Oberon when they were back on tera firma
Except for its way easier to get those parts than frames where you have to farm for a long time to get enough resources to buy the blueprints like citrine
Truue, that mission can take EONS if you play it alone every time. Especially if you cant send the boss into the next phase in one hit. Equinox was the first frame I grinded for hours on, don't regret it at all lol.
Thank you so much! I appreciate how thorough your research and your attention to detail are. I was MR24 when i stopped playing, right around the time the plains of eidolon was released. So while I have many of the older frames, I would consider myself a mid tier tenno in regards to farming, so this is super helpful!
Well this awesome vid is going in my favorites, I've been needing to relearn the drop areas for Warframes I'm still missing even after all these years.
I remember about 4 years ago, Oberon used to just drop random parts. I had all of his parts except the neuroptics. The day before they changed how to get him I got the neuroptics finally. Took me a solid 6-8 months to grind it out, maybe because I was doing it wrong but damn I was pissed when they changed it last second.
I farmed Khora on release, but the saving grace was that I had A LOT of things to MR-up. I've been crafting like a madman, but all of the other missions didn't level up things very fast, so I had a backlog, about just over a hundred items to level up. I would run like 1 weapon that's sensible for killing and the rest was some warframe with 3 mods slapped for survi, and modless weapons for levelling. I got Khora before I got through my stash of things to level up. Also, when SO/ESO released, a lot more people were going to zone 8 too, so it was a pretty cheerful farm. Once I got through all warframes for levelling, I swapped to focus farming + finishing levelling what's left of weapon stash on ESO. I maxed out focus so hard that I ended up with milions of standing on each school (after rework I had a lot of clicking to do). I never even used my stash of eidolon shards. I stil like SO/ESO to test builds or just to play some music and hack things into bits.
@@jadestory8410before Nightwave was introduced his parts could only be gained from alert missions that popped up every so often, so I’d say that would probably be an extra 2 stars for the forced softlock. It was also a running joke that if you were actively trying to get him, then the alerts would only pop up while you either asleep or at work/school
I appreciate that someone finally acknowledged all of the unspoken factors in getting the various Warframes. It's not just running the missions that get the blueprints. It's building the faction to get the missions, moving through the starchart to get the missions, building the faction to get the resources - all the various "background" stuff that is, generally, more time consuming and harder.
Mesa took forever for me years ago because the alad v coordinates only dropped from invasions and when I wanted it there was none and each invasions that lasted about a few days only rewarded like one or 2, even running with a friend saving each others keys it took over a week
Yeeeah the k-drive sections can be brutal if you're doing it blind because the game just doesn't teach you how to effectively stack up points. I ended up just abusing the pipes outside Fortuna by jumping up and turning before the pipes end to get endless points. It's such an unrewarding feeling quest no matter what way you cut it.
As someone who started when plains of eidolon were introduced back in 2017 this video was actually really interesting. I was suprised that frames like Ash or Oberon are now bound to railjack missions for example. I do like railjack missions but im also happy that i just passively farmed oberon. he was my second frame after the starter frame volt. My personal "hardest to get" were Khora and Hyldrin (which i both bought after hour long grinds) and equinox as those were tedious and boring. It took me a long time to get gauss but disruption is one of my fav missions so it was fun. And i also havent really farmed all frames yet. I should get started on like titania, yareli, valkyr, wisp and protea as well as baruuk and grendel. Im sure i potentially have half the parts and all the ressources tho. (MR22 with 1500h) Great vid!
the Vauban Prime grind is a crime, it took me almost a week of grinding the same mission with Nova to get the Oxium for it, 30 mins per run, no resource boost and only about 100-300 Oxium if I was lucky
Everyones talking about how you rated things but thanks to your explanations anyone can understand how long a frame will take to grind. Fantastic video 10/10
Here is my recommendation for stynax farm: do not farm him stynax costs 175 plat, relatively cheap. hell, you could probably just use the stock you would have spent on stynax parts to buy archon mods instead and sell them, they sell for around 40 plat each costing 40 stock to get them you get max of 105 stock per week
As someone who's first frames were Voruna and Gyre after getting to play them in circuit, the pain was very real trying to do solo Zariman bounties and conjunction survival
I started back up warframe in 2019 and powered through content, I'm now MR 31. I have yet to get grendel, gauss, and Caliban. I had an RNG fight getting saryn, chroma, and yeah, that fight for getting Atlas is a pain, if you're not geared right. ultimately, though, being a hoarder, and grinding for resources is important for the weapons too.
I remember Atlas' release, when I was still at low MR. I saw someone absolutely DELETE the HP Bar of the Golem in what amounted to 30s of actual fighting (repositioning included) and just HAD to craft their gear after that. Lo and behold, the Velocitus is still my most used Archgun (not counting the Heavy Slot).
For Grendal, a tip! Invigoration works on these missing! Granted that's also a late game mechanic, it can really make soloing the missions more bearable
Two things, first Yareli is much harder to acquire due to the k-drive tricks you have to do to complete the mission. Second Baruuk, there is one part that makes getting him very hard and that is the atmo systems to get Little Duck rep. In the couple of years playing I still have not gotten any atmo systems and have given up trying. Many have also been stopped cold by the atmo system grind.
@maddawg TL agree about Yareli but if you level up little duck using Toroids then you can buy Atmo systems. It's a grind and no mistake but still quicker than waiting for them to drop.
@@demonfandango The problem is that I did grind for the atmos but in the several hours I tried I got 0. Tried off and on for three months and they are the only thing I have never gotten to drop for me. Had to buy Baruuk from market to get him. Maybe I will try again and see if they will drop now.
Ivara and Khora's grind were in part of the reason why I finally fell over and gave up for a bit, piled up alongside getting the Necrocasket for the advanced Railjack content. My luck with both of those frame drops was on the low end, and I'd argue the Ivara bad run numbers were generous for at least one of Ivara's parts for me. Realizing that my attempts to take a break on that for farming Protea was apparently a bad idea was.... not the best thing to hear. Aw well, least DE seems to have given me pity so I just need to get the necrocasket resources.
I really like the topic of the video, but i would like to mention that the details how the video is made are excellent. For example speaking of ressources needed for different parts you even show a scene while you get them for example mining. Respect for that cutting work and also the time consume, i.g. just to go to deimos, record how you mine a gem and just to have it as video background while talking about it in half a sentence or enumeration. Impressive work!
I felt so lucky when I reinstalled the game and got all of Voruna's BPs in one day. Then I found out she needs void gel, and uh... well I haven't played the game since Fortuna, so I've got a wee bit of grinding ahead of me >_>
I remember the biggest kick in the balls this game ever gave me, i spent 16 hours over 4 days trying to get all of khoras parts only to give up and buy her for plat, then when leveling her up in SO in one run i got a khora part bp on each rotation including the only one i hadn't gotten after 16 hours -_-
Take it from the Monster Hunter community: The desire sensor is real. If you really WANT something to drop, the best way to get it to drop is to not try and get it to drop.
thank you very much as a new player seeing what my options are and gives me an idea whan i can tackle next especally weekly locked content like Styanax
I've played for a long time but I just got around to getting every frame, prime or otherwise. The very last one I needed was Caliban, who I decided to just buy outright with plat, which I've never done before. But after seeing this, my choice was validated. Great video as usual!
I wholly stand and believe the standing system is still one of the worst and grindiest parts of warframe. The fact they lock progression behind a capped amount of xp just punishes lower mr players and higher. You got a part of a warframe? Too bad, you need to level up the syndicate related to it to unlock the bp to get the bait or minerals. I get why its there, but its so unnecessary imo. You’re just forced to come back tomorrow just to unlock basic things. If im able to do the highest level bounties back to back, i shouldnt be time locked on how much i can go up the syndicate. This goes for both open world and relay syndicates.
Because there are multiple syndicates. Different pools of standing capacity, so you can max out multiple per day. They increase minimum starting standing for brand new players by A Lot
Remember friends, you can always use the ingame chat to ask other people for help. There are plenty bored veterans online who would love helping you out and flex with their THICCC DAMAGE :)
I would say that Yareli should be a little higher, that K-board mision isn't exactly easy if you don't have a custom K-board and some good mods. So unless you are just absolutely amazing with the K-board, that mission can be a real pain to complete.
Also if you're playing on Steam with a controller while not in big picture mode, it's the jankiest experience I've ever had in a video game. You'll be trying trying to line up pipe grinds and need to slow down and all of a sudden your board boosts and throws you off. I was happy to be done with that hellish quest.
Yareli's mission is easy, it won't take you more than a couple of hours or less to finish it. The problem with the mission is that everything is poorly explained, or not explained at all.
@@leaposte17 It may be easy if you are experienced at skater games, the problem I was often running into was getting the points from trick combos that you needed. Now if you get the mod that increases the base multiplier, it can trivialize it. The other parts are pretty easy. It just getting the big combo scores you need, I mean yes, I know you are supposed to utilize grinding for it, but it can require a lot of grinding for the higher levels of the mission. It can be real easy to mess up and have to start again.
I would say I'm blessed to have been hooked on warframe from the start. I just came back from a little over a year break. I've racked up a whopping 2600hrs since my first install in 2013. I've got all the resources I needed to build the new frames. But the grind I don't miss, especially voruna. I got sick of playing the same node on lua. And the glass defence for citrine. I have finally Just started building citrine and now need to change my focus to farming relics and get my hands on the primed weapons and frames.
You may want to add half a star at least to Yareli since her quest requires a lot of K-Drive tricks. That tends to require or at least very heavily benefit from both a decent board (so Ventkids progression) and experience riding the board.
Im having 'Nam flashbacks to the Mesa farm. The grind for Alad V nav coordinates ALONE was enough to pull my hair out. The rng of the actual Mesa part drops was insult to injury, to say nothing of the sneaky people who tried to join groups without a key of their own... I might have rated that farm a 6 or 7.
i feel like you forgot the daily standing caps for all the level 5 faction grinds as well as the resources needed to progress those factions. diemos is a b!^$h just in sunk resources/time(whether fishing hunting mining or bounty grind) and vox solaris can completely F you you on RNG for atmos regs, and toriods to gain standing.
You get the Xoris from the same quest you need to complete to get her blueprint. If you have that quest done (which this video accounted for), then you have a Xoris already
I think the warframe components for Chroma deserves less than 1,5 stars, as you are likely to have a few if not all of them if you farm those other frames, or if you havent farmed those yet, they are now way more appealing and easier to get. the farming overlapping with farming for other frames is a huge boon!
Dunno, you just camp for some void relic mission and ask chat to "mark argon pls". 2-3 missions and you're sure to get those 1-3 crystals needed for a particular craft.
I had gotten Octavia for free through her Prime Gaming Iridos bundle when I first started and was unaware of how to farm her. I expected Equinox to be 5 stars (I have her built, it was a nightmare farming her), but OCTAVIA? I'm genuinely shocked.
Guess before watching video: Stynax and Gyre take longest time because you have to complete The New War. Voruna also but Gyre has way lower drop chance and Stynax have wait for Karl mission refresh each week.
Lets never talk about the pre nightwave alert system, you had to set alarm clocks in the middle of the night to farm an alert mission to get a part you wanted which was otherwise impossible to get. Ngl even with some of the time gates and rep requirements to get certain items, things gotten a lot easier over the years. Ivara, Khora, Harrow, Equinox and Nidus being the OG hardgrinds back then, and not only because of the RNG dropchance on the Blueprints. Nowadays you can get resources a lot easier aswell, looking at you Oxium, Rubedo, Plastids and Kavat scans... Theres reasons veterans call it grindframe. Back in the day nobody was doing Fashionframe besides a sigil and some colours. The game has come a long way and its only getting better and better with each itteration. My only whish is that DE gives some love to Lunaro and make some Stadiums in the open worlds where ppl could play for resources or reputaion and you can spectate the games.
Dagath is pretty ok to get, you can find her blueprints in a well established clan base, the main problem is that you have to do abyss missions 15 times to get the veinthorn
I disagree with Yareli being rated only one star for that God awful quest. For one you have to use a kdrive, and second that thing took me a month and a half. But I also suck at, and hate kdrive.
I know this video was made a while ago but for the people watching now, quite a few of these frames are available through the Duviri Circut, which depending on the frame can cut down grind time by a lot
I was in the process of farming him when the changes came. I went for about a month straight of doing about 1-2 runs a day without getting the last part I needed (systems I think). The day of the patch, I got it second try.
Throwback to the OLD times when raids were still in the game, and Booberon was the first frame you'd have in your inventory. That, and Ash's Manic drops used to be incredibly farmable from raids - meaning anyone past MR 6 or 7 could just hop in a raid group with Nekros and enjoy the free Ash. I actually somewhat miss the raids. Definitely something different from the boss fights that lock the content previously locked behind the (weekly) raids.
Very interesting to watch in late 24. 8 new warframes, Duviri to cheat all grinds except materials to build for one frame a week and even more maps. Including both a very early game frame in Koumei and one requiring almost full story completion in Jade.
Man I couldn’t tell you how many runs of T3 Granum my sister and I did to get that last piece. And I still haven’t built her and I need to farm again for a Helminth sacrifice
I remember getting back into Warframe and wanting Baruuk so bad, and having to grind Fortuna from zero to get him, it was such a pain. Now as an adult, I can't really grind for hours a day, making it hard to get back into Warframe again.
It's very funny how Styanax is the most complex frame to farm while also being the first frame a lot of people have ever gotten.
Freebies are cool like that

*second, you get a starting Warframe
I took a little break a week before and rejoined a month after

Now that we've seen how good a pity system is with voruna, i really wish it's either implemented retroactively for older frames or kept as a new standard moving forward.
Both? Both would be nice.
I would like more game modes like disruption that actually reward u for staying in the mission but I don't think they'd do it, the more time u spend in game the better, DE has even crippled some farms to make them less efficient in the past

My free time is devided between playing warframe, watching stuff i already know about warframe, watching stuff i don't know about warframe, both of which make me want to play warframe and a little amount of time doing something else, i love the way you explain stuff, it makes listening to things i already know oddly satisfiying
least addicted warframe player
same, bro... one of my worst addictions
Move warframe from your recommendation, don't play everyday.
Till you enjoy it there is no reason to stop but it's good to change your mind sometime. There are so many other good game.
Sounds like life itself bro
As someone who's played Warframe since Operation Fusion MOA it feels a bit surreal to see how some warframes went from piss easy to acquire relatively early (e.g. Oberon, Ash, Trinity etc.) to being relatively grindy compared to when you can start farming them
I would just like to say that Titania was brutal for me to get because I couldn’t get the right flowers because of the time of day that I could play. One night I just sat down and was like “okay let’s do this”
Yeah the day/night cycle for the normal nodes is 4h it is not linked to the plains timer. that is something many get wrong as its not in the game you have to use a 3rd party source to know
@@azurephantom100 But if you're always playing within the same 4 hour window every day, then you get locked into Earth being set to that same state every time you're playing. Predictable but frustrating if you don't have a lot of free time
I feel like Gara should've had some extra points in resources due to most of the recipes being rep locked, meaning that for a newer player, you're 1-2 weeks of repcapping daily away from even crafting all ingredients.
At least we know he's only human haha
While I mostly agree, I have a friend that joined the game recently and has not even unlocked Mars yet, but he spent the time on the Plains to get Gara as his second frame.
@@thefatrabb1t your friend definitely need help
@@AmieW maybe he just realllly digs the glass theme, since doing the fun thing beats doing the most logical thing 9 times out of ten, but, I couldn't farm endless Plains bounties while going for a second frame, that's nuts.
@@NobleVI_343 by help i mean literally haha, like me spending 3 hours nonstop on farming equinox
I'd honestly give Equinox 4 stars. Not because her farm is hard or anything, but it takes so damn long compared to everything else. Even Grendel, assuming you have the right equipment and strategy, will take less time per part.
I have to agree with this. I think it’s easier to get Equinox Prime. I forget what MR I am but I know I have all the other frames and I’m pretty sure I still don’t have regular Equinox. Then when I look in my inventory I feel guilty that I still haven’t farmed all the parts.
its easy. just run the mission 20+ times. i inferno'd regor tyl he died and speedran a lot. basically no brain power required to constantly run
@@cralo2569 I have probably killed Regor more times than I've played the game in hours, and i only have 5 of the components. RNG is a demon.
took me 4 hours nonstop to farm equinox, surely its a hell of a farm
Equinox easily took me 40+ runs. I don't remember what part I needed, but me and my friend both needed that exact same part coincidentally and we had to grind for DAYS to get it.
not so fun fact: Ivara, my current main, took me HUNDREDS of Lua spy runs across several WEEKS just to get ONE part of her, keeping in mind I was speedrunning lua spy with limbo so I was doing it insanely fast
I later proceeded to get nidus in the minimum number of runs and all of the time spent was just farming the resources required for him
Im MR21 with 800+hours so far.
Play off and on over the past 4-5 years.
I still haven't gotten her. Lol
Idk if they've changed ivara acquiring somehow from the start of 2022 but I got it pretty easily
@@mostlyjovial6177 *ROOKY HOURS, BEHOLD AS I* WASTED *IS 74DAYS 12H 53M 33S OR 1,789 HOURS OVER THREE YEARS*
granted I didn't hardcore grind for it, but it took me aaaages to get Khora's blueprint. That might've been the worst grind I have ever had
By the way you can cheese vault c with titania the hole is on the ground on the right side of the outer circle near the vault
Its also ironic that for some of these frames farming their prime variant (Objectively better and better looking) is miles easier
i got hildryn prime in four relics. one for each part. I can't imagine how stupid it would've been farming her normally especially with my fear of spiders and the fact I hadn't even beaten the star chart
Farming the prime is always gonna be easier unless its a vaulted one. After all getting a prime just means doing a bunch of hepit/ukko/apollo then doing some fissures, it really doesnt get any simpler than that. Time investment on the other hand...
@@AtomicAlchemistYeah it's "easy". But getting 5+ bronze drops in a row with fully radiant relics is not good for your sanity.
I actually think that makes the game better.
@@AtomicAlchemist farming nekros is 10x easier than unvaulted nekros prime. Just run in. Kill the boss. Leave. Shoulr be done in less than 10 runs and each run only takes around 3 minutes.
voruna and stynax make me realize that having the ability to buy the blueprints from faction vendors could help frames like gara and garuda to get more screen time. sure it would cost rep points, and hell they could make worth a couple thousand, but it would really help with those "soft locks"
Funnily enough, DE kinda tested this out in whispers with how Qorvex is. You can get him from the bounties or from standing at 20k rep a piece hell he's also the ONLY frame that has a quest-related blueprint available from a reputation OTHER then simarius
Tbf the eidolon and deimos bounties to farm the 2 frames from each open world doesn't take that long nor is it difficult for new players who generally get the frames by accident when grinding the good mods from open world. Fortuna is an exception since it is so miserable to grind, but that isn't fault of the bounty system
@@user-jm8sy5ox2jit took me longer to just get Xaku chassis than all other of his parts, I wouldn't say it's easy, because these kinds of statistical anomalies are very common
If youre watching this in 2024 here’s a tip, a lot of frames are in duviri circuit missions but only up to 3 of them a week can be seen and 1 can be chosen. This includes frames like Ash, Inaros, Atlas, etc.
So Duviri Circuit missions is also a good way of obtaining new frames?
@@grxy5924 Absolutely! You also get to use the frames and weapons you have already, and get to try new ones through your play. You get to pick one of three warframes to unlock, and they reset every Monday, where you choose new ones. The cycle repeats for those every 11 weeks.
The key issue, is the Duviri Paradox Quest must be completed to unlock it. In that place is also another 2 Warframes that the above did not mention, though only one is gotten in there.
That is Kullervo and Dagath. Kullervo is only one found in Duviri, as a farm, or a standing purchase. Dagath is found in the Dojo in a separate location.
Both of these warframes are native to Duviri, and requires resources found only in there.
Equinox is not into duviri rotation sadly
I feel like you really underestimated how often the Exploiter Orb fight just breaks. Every other run, the minions will spawn in a cave or on the other side of a mountain, breaking their pathfinding, forcing you to hunt them down.
Yeah Hyldrin was hands down the worst to get out of all frames except for Caliban maybe. Took me 23 exploiter kills just for 1 set, got "lucky" and only needed 7 more kills to complete the 2nd set for helminth.
@@IntermezzoR Counterpoint: Ropalolyst fight breaking hard. Especially on release. Not that it's much better now. God that fight is broken and janky as hell.
Exploiter fight breaking ? I have farmed that thing so freaking much for myself and to help friends lvl rep in fortuna and i have never see any bug in that fight, aways a fast, easy and fun af fight and never see a bug not even once.
This must be hella rare, or something very especific must trigger the bug idk.
It’s really not that bad though. You just have to launch your Archwing and scan the perimeter. The coolant gremlins tend to hide around the opposite side of the big mountain that Deck 12 is underneath.
Profit Taker is still worse, mostly because of how it’s essentially impossible to solo as an inexperienced player, since the mechanics are poorly explained in-game and on the wiki. Eidolons share this same problem, unfortunately. Like, if you know what you’re doing they are trivial. But they are quite difficult to learn and have a lot of moving parts.
I swear learning the different spy nodes is simpler than learning Eidolon/PT fights…
I haven't touched it in a couple months because it was so bad, maybe they've fixed it, but it took way too long to hunt down the minions.
love that the frame that takes the longest is the big 50th frame who got given out for free for a month. Its like they want him to be as much of n achievement for us to get him as it was for them to make him.
it's a time-gate/weekly-reset not a farm so he's damned easy to get your hands on unless the thought of spending 20-30 minutes for 4-5 weeks stresses you out. all that DE handing him out early did was let me pick up the weapons a little earlier as the stock/tokens to get him may be limited but they are incredibly easy & fast to reliably obtain.
@@IRMentat it’s not yet him that takes a while, it’s getting TO him that takes nearly the entire game
Got lucky and grabed him both times DE gave it for free, so i subsumed one, then got the other maxed out, but that was a while ago.
Then last week i did Veilbreaker and unlocked Kahl missions, looking at the shop and knowing that i can just skip his grind was such a relief lol, that's 540 Stock i won't have to farm, so i will probably have everything i want from Kahl in the 4 weeks it takes to reach max rank with the garrison.
It's so weird to me that such a good beginner frame like Styanax is one of the latest grinds you can do. When you have enough playtime to get him, you already got more "efficient" warframes at your disposal. I used him on my brothers old account (loki starter) and he handles quite nice with very basic mods only. Thanks for the video!
loki starter supremacy
Well he's also very powerful so it makes sense.
100% armor strip and being an energy battery makes sense being locked behind too much.
@@SnailSnail-lo4pm Except by the time you get him through actually grinding for him, you'll most likely already have a better option for anything his kit is good for
@@edwardking9359 he's pretty good for lich hunting bc I'm pretty sure Rev got nerfed. Banshee is also good for it but she lacks survivability. He's a very versatile frame that can be applied to just about anywhere.
@Snail066 Snail 06 What Revenant nerf? Ever since they added guaranteed 1 sec invulnerability per mesmer skin stack he's been impossible to die on (unless you accidentally run into a nullifier and don't have rolling guard)
To improve farming warframes, DE should use a drop system that gives you the part you do not have in your inventory.Similar system was used on kubrow eggs preventing players from getting more than 1.
Farming in general. *cries in 10 spares for each part of my mitter except one*
Yep, having 32 protea neuroptics and 0 chasis feels like a dick punch
@@Bryan_K_27435i did over 16 runs and was still missing one part, that part being the barrel.
I disagree with Yareli's rating. All of the open world frames need alloys to build, which are locked behind rep grind in that specific area. It's softlocked thanks to rep cap depending on your mastery, and an absolute pain to complete.
Yareli's open world requirements are very tame. The highest SU rank requirement is Outworlder (Rank 1) for the Venerdo Alloy BP. 5k standing to achieve R1, 1k for Heart Noctrul BP, 2k for Venerdo Alloy BP, 2.5k for a mining laser, and 500 for a shock prod spear for a total of 11k standing. It's also possible to cut 2k standing by picking the Venerdo Alloy BP as the rank up reward. Players start with a base standing cap of 16k, which means Yareli is not time gated at all.
You clearly don't know anything, you can speedrun Yareli with a new account in less than 20 hours of gameplay.
@@Chosty94 True. She was my 2nd frame after Rhino. And we know that Rhino isn't hard to farm out.
How tf is that possible if u need to grind rep ??@@Chosty94
I have all Warframes normal and prime , still I enjoyed watching the whole video for some reason , keep up the good content
Absolutely amazing video, great work as usual!
I used your first Longest Farm video to farm all warframes from easy to hard and bought some of the longest farm ones for plat because at some point it‘s faster farming the plat needed than grinding for ghe frame itself.
I really love how you not just added the new frames but revisited all frames to include all the secondary requirements that can be a real setback when players don‘t know what farm to expect.
Thank you for making our playtime easier!
I do feel like it bears mentioning that you can't actually fight Vay Hek on Earth until MR 5, unless it was changed recently
He compensated the hydroid farm by saying that Vay Hek's mission was higher level than most very early game bosses. I still think it should have been mentioned, but the difference it made was adjusted for.
still true, my friend started recently and yesterday we found out that he need mr 5)
Not to mention it can be a pain in the butt to kill this dude with early MR equip
can confirm how difficult it was to beat vay hek, I saw new mission and thought I gotta try!!! took me 45 minutes over one try...
@@ViniZiello For real lol his beggining phase is a pain in the ass.
great video. next time, it might be neat to have the stars actually be color-coded by the type of gate it is; progression, parts farm, and resource farm
I know the average for those assassination missions is supposed to be 5 runs, but with my experience I have been feeling very lucky to get those in 5 runs, I usually ended up needing 10+ for all of them
Besides some bosses are quite difficult to kill, Lephantis is pretty though for newbies. The fight is not hard, the boss is just too tanky too kill it
This video is an absolute lifesaver for a new player. I feel like once you finish the starter quest there should be a link directly here!
Warframe explaining itself? Just figure it out and guess 4head
Fantastic video, I have all frames prime and not, but this will still be useful to me as a reference once I get the sheer courage to refarm everything for Helminth
I think a lot of beginners would rate Vauban a lot harder to get as spending 75 Nora Creds competes with getting precious potatoes from her shop which beginners have very limited amounts of. At least this is how I experienced it.
unless you're stupid like me and heard "vauban is limited!!1!1!1" thank God vol 4 came quick
As a pretty new player myself I disagree. I got Vauban the instant I found the shop as I was like “oh a new frame me want” and had no idea what potatos were.
Agreed and I would argue to hold onto your NW creds for other stuff and just buy his main BP with normal creds and then finish the duviri paradox to run The Circuit to tier 8 and just wait for Vauban to be one of the 3 choices(arguably making Vauban not an "early game" frame for you if you take this route unless youre perfectly fine being carried later into the runs or spending a very long time making short runs to reach tier 8).
Blowing 75 NW creds on normal Vauban just isn't worth it in the long run imo as there will be mods that are exclusive to NW that you can buy on top of potatoes, both of which are far more worth buying for a new player than Vauban.
I was one of the unfortunate people that missed out on Styanax, so imagine my surprise when I saw the grind requirements.. I tryharded every Kahl mission, thankfully had all the rep gems but that took another day, and then all of the thrax plasm and lanthorn farming.
All of this just so I can master him during the weekend and immediately subsume him for Tharros Strike. Warframe, I guess.
Aaaaaand now they're giving him out again, for The Game Awards, June 8th.
@@merlintheageless i-i missed him for 10 minutes
I think this would be a great idea to do yearly! Along with Brozime's Tier List, new players would have a great resource and us oldies would be able to compare across time.
Great video!. Thanks for putting all the effort to break down the grind for players. I really enjoy your mathematical approach to the game. Keep the videos coming!
You forgot to mention you need judgment points to initiate Kela's assassination mission so I'd say add her to the 3* because you need pre-grind to access her mission.
And even with all the judgement I had stashed, I used it all up and didn't get all Saryn parts for Helminth food. Though I was a bit more lucky when getting the first Saryn.
This vid has the structure on where to put frames the wiki doesnt explain, after a 4 year break, this is S tier content for my MR 19 :D
Using this as a guideline to farm frames based on time needed and you actually made me farm Yareli so huge props, great video
This video has been incredibly helpful for picking which warframes to choose for regular duviri circuit. Thank you!
Just a disclaimer for any new players that don't know, he showed their primes where applicable, so your farmed frames will differ. Also so glad I got ash and Oberon when they were back on tera firma
This video has been a big help as a checklist to complete my collection. I'm about a 3rd of the way through mastering all basic and prime frames
In my opinion, depending on your luck, Equinox is still the longest to obtain since you technically have to farm 2 frames.
Except for its way easier to get those parts than frames where you have to farm for a long time to get enough resources to buy the blueprints like citrine
Mission time is a huge factor and equinox should be higher for sure but he has no other requirements
Truue, that mission can take EONS if you play it alone every time. Especially if you cant send the boss into the next phase in one hit.
Equinox was the first frame I grinded for hours on, don't regret it at all lol.
Thank you so much! I appreciate how thorough your research and your attention to detail are.
I was MR24 when i stopped playing, right around the time the plains of eidolon was released.
So while I have many of the older frames, I would consider myself a mid tier tenno in regards to farming, so this is super helpful!
23:45 "and his chassis, well, you already have his chassis"
😂 HCET!
Well this awesome vid is going in my favorites, I've been needing to relearn the drop areas for Warframes I'm still missing even after all these years.
I remember about 4 years ago, Oberon used to just drop random parts. I had all of his parts except the neuroptics. The day before they changed how to get him I got the neuroptics finally. Took me a solid 6-8 months to grind it out, maybe because I was doing it wrong but damn I was pissed when they changed it last second.
Oberon was my second frame, I got him just playing around, lost in the game in my baby tenno times. 😂
Love the fact you play as the frame you are talking about in the background gameplay
I'd like to say that I did the original Khora farm, my will is indomitable
Fear me.
On release day, brother. Or, well, in the release week, more accurately.
i was looking for this comment.... when her frame first came out it took me FOREVER to farm her.
I farmed Khora on release, but the saving grace was that I had A LOT of things to MR-up. I've been crafting like a madman, but all of the other missions didn't level up things very fast, so I had a backlog, about just over a hundred items to level up. I would run like 1 weapon that's sensible for killing and the rest was some warframe with 3 mods slapped for survi, and modless weapons for levelling. I got Khora before I got through my stash of things to level up. Also, when SO/ESO released, a lot more people were going to zone 8 too, so it was a pretty cheerful farm.
Once I got through all warframes for levelling, I swapped to focus farming + finishing levelling what's left of weapon stash on ESO. I maxed out focus so hard that I ended up with milions of standing on each school (after rework I had a lot of clicking to do). I never even used my stash of eidolon shards.
I stil like SO/ESO to test builds or just to play some music and hack things into bits.
Sayrn and volt mains had a field day in ESO
Yeah, I was one of those talking about mesa in the other video. Cheers for correcting it in this video!
y’all remember when vaubans parts were from random alerts? ah good times
Nightwave still sells him
@@jadestory8410before Nightwave was introduced his parts could only be gained from alert missions that popped up every so often, so I’d say that would probably be an extra 2 stars for the forced softlock. It was also a running joke that if you were actively trying to get him, then the alerts would only pop up while you either asleep or at work/school
I'm proud to have gotten before nightwave was a thing @@karlwittenburg5868
Great video bro! Much appreciated 🤘
i will fully complete the longest grind over my 4 day weekend, due to my semester ending. updates coming if i pussy out
?
I appreciate that someone finally acknowledged all of the unspoken factors in getting the various Warframes. It's not just running the missions that get the blueprints. It's building the faction to get the missions, moving through the starchart to get the missions, building the faction to get the resources - all the various "background" stuff that is, generally, more time consuming and harder.
Mesa took forever for me years ago because the alad v coordinates only dropped from invasions and when I wanted it there was none and each invasions that lasted about a few days only rewarded like one or 2, even running with a friend saving each others keys it took over a week
This was some good background noise for farming on Warframe, good video
I would argue that the quest for Yareli is a lot longer than just one star.
If you're suffering from skill issues, yes
Yeeeah the k-drive sections can be brutal if you're doing it blind because the game just doesn't teach you how to effectively stack up points.
I ended up just abusing the pipes outside Fortuna by jumping up and turning before the pipes end to get endless points. It's such an unrewarding feeling quest no matter what way you cut it.
I'd argue he should have added 5 extra stars on yareli, just because you have to listen to the ventkids for that entire quest
I'd argue the same. 5 pages of challenges, took me a couple of hours total. Maybe 1 and a half for the difficulty.
@@cindi5874 more than skill issues, K driver is a shit
As someone who started when plains of eidolon were introduced back in 2017 this video was actually really interesting. I was suprised that frames like Ash or Oberon are now bound to railjack missions for example.
I do like railjack missions but im also happy that i just passively farmed oberon. he was my second frame after the starter frame volt.
My personal "hardest to get" were Khora and Hyldrin (which i both bought after hour long grinds) and equinox as those were tedious and boring. It took me a long time to get gauss but disruption is one of my fav missions so it was fun.
And i also havent really farmed all frames yet. I should get started on like titania, yareli, valkyr, wisp and protea as well as baruuk and grendel. Im sure i potentially have half the parts and all the ressources tho. (MR22 with 1500h)
Great vid!
the Vauban Prime grind is a crime, it took me almost a week of grinding the same mission with Nova to get the Oxium for it, 30 mins per run, no resource boost and only about 100-300 Oxium if I was lucky
Oh god tell me about it. I love my boy but i had to just saryn and spotify for a while
Everyones talking about how you rated things but thanks to your explanations anyone can understand how long a frame will take to grind. Fantastic video 10/10
Here is my recommendation for stynax farm: do not farm him
stynax costs 175 plat, relatively cheap.
hell, you could probably just use the stock you would have spent on stynax parts to buy archon mods instead and sell them, they sell for around 40 plat each
costing 40 stock to get them
you get max of 105 stock per week
Yep, that's the way. Someone can farm prime parts worth 175 plat in less time than it takes to do him normally, and you buy him with potato installed.
As someone who's first frames were Voruna and Gyre after getting to play them in circuit, the pain was very real trying to do solo Zariman bounties and conjunction survival
I started back up warframe in 2019 and powered through content, I'm now MR 31. I have yet to get grendel, gauss, and Caliban. I had an RNG fight getting saryn, chroma, and yeah, that fight for getting Atlas is a pain, if you're not geared right. ultimately, though, being a hoarder, and grinding for resources is important for the weapons too.
I remember Atlas' release, when I was still at low MR. I saw someone absolutely DELETE the HP Bar of the Golem in what amounted to 30s of actual fighting (repositioning included) and just HAD to craft their gear after that. Lo and behold, the Velocitus is still my most used Archgun (not counting the Heavy Slot).
For Grendal, a tip! Invigoration works on these missing! Granted that's also a late game mechanic, it can really make soloing the missions more bearable
Two things, first Yareli is much harder to acquire due to the k-drive tricks you have to do to complete the mission. Second Baruuk, there is one part that makes getting him very hard and that is the atmo systems to get Little Duck rep. In the couple of years playing I still have not gotten any atmo systems and have given up trying. Many have also been stopped cold by the atmo system grind.
@maddawg TL agree about Yareli but if you level up little duck using Toroids then you can buy Atmo systems. It's a grind and no mistake but still quicker than waiting for them to drop.
@@demonfandango The problem is that I did grind for the atmos but in the several hours I tried I got 0. Tried off and on for three months and they are the only thing I have never gotten to drop for me. Had to buy Baruuk from market to get him.
Maybe I will try again and see if they will drop now.
@@MaddawgTL Sometimes the RnG sucks. I finally got the chassis for Xaku today after trying for months.
@@MaddawgTL Also, not sure if the Atmo's drop from the 2nd PT bounty (I think they do) and that's a quick one stage bounty.
Ivara and Khora's grind were in part of the reason why I finally fell over and gave up for a bit, piled up alongside getting the Necrocasket for the advanced Railjack content. My luck with both of those frame drops was on the low end, and I'd argue the Ivara bad run numbers were generous for at least one of Ivara's parts for me. Realizing that my attempts to take a break on that for farming Protea was apparently a bad idea was.... not the best thing to hear. Aw well, least DE seems to have given me pity so I just need to get the necrocasket resources.
The best way to farm Ivara is use Ivara prime
I know yall peeped the stars audio he was doing. It's the operator schools rank up sound. Very well done Kengineer.
I really like the topic of the video, but i would like to mention that the details how the video is made are excellent. For example speaking of ressources needed for different parts you even show a scene while you get them for example mining. Respect for that cutting work and also the time consume, i.g. just to go to deimos, record how you mine a gem and just to have it as video background while talking about it in half a sentence or enumeration. Impressive work!
I felt so lucky when I reinstalled the game and got all of Voruna's BPs in one day. Then I found out she needs void gel, and uh... well I haven't played the game since Fortuna, so I've got a wee bit of grinding ahead of me >_>
Hey at least it is not RNG
Good luck.
@@justinarzola4584 As of two weeks ago, I have acquired Voruna.
...but now I'm grinding for a second one so I can subsume her xD
Incredible video, super informative and really entertaining! Fantastic work
I remember the biggest kick in the balls this game ever gave me, i spent 16 hours over 4 days trying to get all of khoras parts only to give up and buy her for plat, then when leveling her up in SO in one run i got a khora part bp on each rotation including the only one i hadn't gotten after 16 hours -_-
This is why passive farm is best
I got Khora set just casually doing SO over the months
Take it from the Monster Hunter community: The desire sensor is real. If you really WANT something to drop, the best way to get it to drop is to not try and get it to drop.
never waste plat on normal warframes unless it's something really painful to grind like citrine and voruna or prime wfs
thank you very much as a new player seeing what my options are and gives me an idea whan i can tackle next
especally weekly locked content like Styanax
Dojo frames, the hell I had to do for my clan with me as the only member lol
I've played for a long time but I just got around to getting every frame, prime or otherwise. The very last one I needed was Caliban, who I decided to just buy outright with plat, which I've never done before. But after seeing this, my choice was validated. Great video as usual!
I wholly stand and believe the standing system is still one of the worst and grindiest parts of warframe. The fact they lock progression behind a capped amount of xp just punishes lower mr players and higher. You got a part of a warframe? Too bad, you need to level up the syndicate related to it to unlock the bp to get the bait or minerals. I get why its there, but its so unnecessary imo. You’re just forced to come back tomorrow just to unlock basic things. If im able to do the highest level bounties back to back, i shouldnt be time locked on how much i can go up the syndicate. This goes for both open world and relay syndicates.
Because there are multiple syndicates. Different pools of standing capacity, so you can max out multiple per day. They increase minimum starting standing for brand new players by A Lot
the duvri paradox circuit destroyed this ranking kinda XD, since you can get frames like Hildryn from the duvri circuit now
Remember friends, you can always use the ingame chat to ask other people for help. There are plenty bored veterans online who would love helping you out and flex with their THICCC DAMAGE :)
18:40 and this is where i stop to avoid spoilers thanks for the video, its very informative (up till where I've watched ill be back though)
I would say that Yareli should be a little higher, that K-board mision isn't exactly easy if you don't have a custom K-board and some good mods. So unless you are just absolutely amazing with the K-board, that mission can be a real pain to complete.
Also if you're playing on Steam with a controller while not in big picture mode, it's the jankiest experience I've ever had in a video game.
You'll be trying trying to line up pipe grinds and need to slow down and all of a sudden your board boosts and throws you off.
I was happy to be done with that hellish quest.
Yareli's mission is easy, it won't take you more than a couple of hours or less to finish it. The problem with the mission is that everything is poorly explained, or not explained at all.
@@leaposte17 It may be easy if you are experienced at skater games, the problem I was often running into was getting the points from trick combos that you needed.
Now if you get the mod that increases the base multiplier, it can trivialize it. The other parts are pretty easy. It just getting the big combo scores you need, I mean yes, I know you are supposed to utilize grinding for it, but it can require a lot of grinding for the higher levels of the mission. It can be real easy to mess up and have to start again.
I would say I'm blessed to have been hooked on warframe from the start. I just came back from a little over a year break. I've racked up a whopping 2600hrs since my first install in 2013. I've got all the resources I needed to build the new frames. But the grind I don't miss, especially voruna. I got sick of playing the same node on lua. And the glass defence for citrine. I have finally Just started building citrine and now need to change my focus to farming relics and get my hands on the primed weapons and frames.
You may want to add half a star at least to Yareli since her quest requires a lot of K-Drive tricks. That tends to require or at least very heavily benefit from both a decent board (so Ventkids progression) and experience riding the board.
I used the basic K-Drive and completed it with no mods at all
@@jokersruby287 Good for you, not everyone is as much a gamer though.
@@Valsorayu Thanks?
Im having 'Nam flashbacks to the Mesa farm. The grind for Alad V nav coordinates ALONE was enough to pull my hair out. The rng of the actual Mesa part drops was insult to injury, to say nothing of the sneaky people who tried to join groups without a key of their own...
I might have rated that farm a 6 or 7.
i feel like you forgot the daily standing caps for all the level 5 faction grinds as well as the resources needed to progress those factions. diemos is a b!^$h just in sunk resources/time(whether fishing hunting mining or bounty grind) and vox solaris can completely F you you on RNG for atmos regs, and toriods to gain standing.
When you said that Khora was an 8 star grind, I got pretty thankful that I picked her for this week’s duviri circuit. Praise Thrax!
I'm just saying there should be an additional star on Protea because you have to use Xoris
You get the Xoris from the same quest you need to complete to get her blueprint. If you have that quest done (which this video accounted for), then you have a Xoris already
I think the warframe components for Chroma deserves less than 1,5 stars, as you are likely to have a few if not all of them if you farm those other frames, or if you havent farmed those yet, they are now way more appealing and easier to get. the farming overlapping with farming for other frames is a huge boon!
Those argon crystals though. Brick wall for many early players.
Dunno, you just camp for some void relic mission and ask chat to "mark argon pls". 2-3 missions and you're sure to get those 1-3 crystals needed for a particular craft.
I had gotten Octavia for free through her Prime Gaming Iridos bundle when I first started and was unaware of how to farm her. I expected Equinox to be 5 stars (I have her built, it was a nightmare farming her), but OCTAVIA? I'm genuinely shocked.
(For Harrow) 'and his chasis... well, you already have a chasis...'
Brilliant.
It took me a year to farm Oberon back when it was still dummy easy, I ended up with hundreds of chassis before I got all his parts.
Guess before watching video: Stynax and Gyre take longest time because you have to complete The New War. Voruna also but Gyre has way lower drop chance and Stynax have wait for Karl mission refresh each week.
Lets never talk about the pre nightwave alert system, you had to set alarm clocks in the middle of the night to farm an alert mission to get a part you wanted which was otherwise impossible to get. Ngl even with some of the time gates and rep requirements to get certain items, things gotten a lot easier over the years. Ivara, Khora, Harrow, Equinox and Nidus being the OG hardgrinds back then, and not only because of the RNG dropchance on the Blueprints. Nowadays you can get resources a lot easier aswell, looking at you Oxium, Rubedo, Plastids and Kavat scans... Theres reasons veterans call it grindframe. Back in the day nobody was doing Fashionframe besides a sigil and some colours. The game has come a long way and its only getting better and better with each itteration. My only whish is that DE gives some love to Lunaro and make some Stadiums in the open worlds where ppl could play for resources or reputaion and you can spectate the games.
put "Prime" infront of those frame then it's a different type of star.
It's anywhere from a few days to wait the entire year before it's back in rotation again.
This video is even more helpful to me every time I come back to it
Can we get a 2024 version?
Dw it's exactly the same grind 😊
Dagath is pretty ok to get, you can find her blueprints in a well established clan base, the main problem is that you have to do abyss missions 15 times to get the veinthorn
I didn't even realized I watched all 40 mins of it. Amazing vid
I disagree with Yareli being rated only one star for that God awful quest. For one you have to use a kdrive, and second that thing took me a month and a half.
But I also suck at, and hate kdrive.
I would rather farm out multiple sets of Equinox than ever run that quest again.
I started to farm khora when she came out. I just got the final piece to build her today.
farming rhino took me 26 runs ......
At least it didn't take 27!
Sucks to suck
I know this video was made a while ago but for the people watching now, quite a few of these frames are available through the Duviri Circut, which depending on the frame can cut down grind time by a lot
So jealous that Ash is such an easier farm now
It's great really, easier for new people
I was in the process of farming him when the changes came. I went for about a month straight of doing about 1-2 runs a day without getting the last part I needed (systems I think). The day of the patch, I got it second try.
Throwback to the OLD times when raids were still in the game, and Booberon was the first frame you'd have in your inventory. That, and Ash's Manic drops used to be incredibly farmable from raids - meaning anyone past MR 6 or 7 could just hop in a raid group with Nekros and enjoy the free Ash.
I actually somewhat miss the raids. Definitely something different from the boss fights that lock the content previously locked behind the (weekly) raids.
@@doomdoot6731 I wasnt around for the raids. But I was around when everyone played conclave and before the orbiter.
@@doomdoot6731why did they remove raids, is was soo fun
Very interesting to watch in late 24. 8 new warframes, Duviri to cheat all grinds except materials to build for one frame a week and even more maps. Including both a very early game frame in Koumei and one requiring almost full story completion in Jade.
My honest reaction to the khora farm: a
Protea: b
Xaku: c
what an awesome video!
Me and my friend ironically just farmed for Protea, it took us 6 hours and we lost our minds getting the same Staltha part 42 times in a row.
Man I couldn’t tell you how many runs of T3 Granum my sister and I did to get that last piece. And I still haven’t built her and I need to farm again for a Helminth sacrifice
I remember getting back into Warframe and wanting Baruuk so bad, and having to grind Fortuna from zero to get him, it was such a pain. Now as an adult, I can't really grind for hours a day, making it hard to get back into Warframe again.
Another notable grind was Octavia... That was pretty bad. Nidus and Khora were annoying too.
