Went back to it for no particular reason *has seen a billion Warframe posts here* So decided to update & play it after not having played since...October 2014. So yeah I'm a bit out of touch. I'm currently mastery rank 2 level 15-ish Volt with a Braton, Mk1-Kunai, & Mk1-Bo pole stick thing. I've just done the mission where you first encounter the...Infestation?Infested? Anyways I'd like to see what help/tips more veteran/experienced players have as well as to answer some questions I'll list further below. I think I have a small grasp to it. Certain planets have 4 certain materials which some are also on other planets but I only have 3-4 unlocked >_>. Weapons & Warframes level up the more you use them which gives them a higher mod energy capacity. Fusing mods makes them better & require more energy. [b]Questions[/b] Spoilers will contain my understanding/situation/standing about the question. •Is it worth clearing all the missions on a planet to send in an excavator? •How hard is making an excavator? [spoiler]Believe the plan I saw for it seems...to require quite a lot but I am still quite new to the game.[/spoiler] •How can I acquire platinum without paying? [spoiler]Always see people say you can acquire everything in the game without paying for it but I'm sure platinum is useful. I've seen people say you can by trading Super Ultra Rare Wukong Head plans or stuff. Quite confused on that since I have no idea how to trade at all & I'm sure it's all endgame/high level stuff. And heard sometimes from the daily log in but that's an abysmal amount. [/spoiler] •How do factions/syndicates(?) work? [spoiler]Holy hell do the guys in the fire room seem edgier than Shadow[/spoiler] •Is there any Syndicates considered just bad to be in? [spoiler]Bad as in they give nothing useful or at least very menial stuff.[/spoiler] •How does Shock,Fire,Toxin damage work. •Warframe terminology. [spoiler]I'd be reading regional/clan/trading chat & Id just see acronyms & other shot I don't understand. Have done to understand "PC" means price check. [/spoiler] •How can I incubate a Kubrow egg? [spoiler]I mean I've gotten an egg from murdering its parents & den...>_> But...no idea how to incubate it. [/spoiler] •What are important things in the...Warframe HQ? •Theres only the one HQ on earth right? Or are there ones on other planets but all lead to the same one? •What to do with the giant destruction seeking orange AI entity? Should I agree to help it with...synthesis. [quote]Doesnt seem to be a faction but seems to be the polar opposite of the other entity run faction who hates destruction.[/quote] •What to do with the...monk like guy with a bunch of holograms of himself? •How to quickly gain enough points to take the next mastery test. [spoiler]Ive just bought a new weapon & started ranking it up, but didn't see how much it helped >_> [/spoiler] •How do I get more inventory space asides paying platinum? [spoiler]Ive seen I don't have much space for my weapons & I'm bound to fill it up. [/spoiler]
