Hey, sorry to spam or otherwise. I've just recently been playing the game again with a combination of a new video card and the new damage patch. I was wondering if I could get snuck back into the goon clan? I think I was purged for inactivity. My username ingame is still GarinL and all.

Same way you get any of the rare resources. Go to a planet flagged as dropping them. Any resource drop has a small chance of being a rare resource and bosses have a moderate chance of dropping one (in addition, all bosses have something like a 10% chance of dropping an orokin cell regardless of the planet's normal resource table). If you've got the gear or the friends for it, survival, defense, and mobile defense missions will throw hundreds of enemies at you, which makes it relatively quick to just get as many resources as possible, picking up a couple rare resources just through sheer volume. You can also check into defense missions, quickly open all the crates (there are only a couple maps and you'll learn all the crate locations after a couple repetitions), clear out five waves, and then claim your reward and exit. Or just do boss runs and collect warframe part blueprints while you're at it.

Play Cyath on Eris, it's a major XP farming spot and you'll usually get 3 or 4 neurodes per missions as well.

Instead of buffing Ember specifically, they reduced the enemy's defenses against her by removing Armor from most things and reducing overall mob HP. They also seem to have greatly reduced the speed of World On Fire's damage ticks.

Fireball is still a single-target waste of energy, Overheat still does nothing worth using, and Fire Blast is still too expensive, but World on Fire now kills Ancients at the cost of not being even remotely as good against hordes.

In short, no, they didn't fix Ember at all.

Mobile Defense on Cyath, drop two Fire Blasts on the aproach lanes to the console and then stand inside one of them doing nothing but trying to take pictures of runners before they immolate themselves.

It goes roughly where you're aiming. It hits in a radius around Excalibur that gets bigger as you power up Slash Dash, and is also effected by power range mods (Stretch and Overextended help, Narrow Minded hurts).

I try to aim slightly next to the closest enemy if it's an ancient or something bigger because if the slashdash isn't powerful enough to kill it, it'll stop you from moving forward.

Cool. Most of the Void stuff we did yesterday was fine, it was just the last wave of Defense I that was ruining us. Also I haven't gotten to Europa or Sedna yet :v:

I might actually make some Derelict keys since I want to get the Bio research going in our Lab and that seems to be the only place to get Mutagen Samples.

Ok, I just cleared the people who hadn't accepted their invites yet from the Warframe clan and invited Antipax, Whynotmakeboth, Drinwalk, Coldforge, and Rewinter.

I tried to invite Phentyn and IRSmurf but it said they were already in a clan.

Also, Davecrazy you're at the top of the list and there's still a spot for you but I couldn't find your PSN name.

Hopefully I can get the cap raised to 100 sometime this weekend and we can get everyone in without having to micromanage like this. It'll mean stuff we build will be more expensive, though, so people will need to chip in so we can get research and building done.

I'm online now and will be for most of the day, probably, so I'm ready to do Void missions or whatever else people want to do whenever.

I'll be home in an hour or so and I'm always down to do more stuff. Though I queued up my Rhino Frame to be built last night so I may start leveling that. What kind of weapons are suggested? I feel like shotguns would be fun since it sounds like a tanky / close range character but I haven't seen many good reviews of them here. I'm still a low rank right now though.

Stick with kunai/boltor until you can get the better shotguns. Strun isn't terrible but it's a lot of cash for mediocre. The higher rank shottys are much better if you want to go that way.

Fun fact, Shotguns seem to proc per-pellet, which means the Hek is great for inflicting statuses now (assuming everything doesn't just die in one shot that is)

Also for some reason criticals seem to get a much bigger headshot multiplier than regular shots, so if you're using an accurate critical weapon (such as the Soma, Snipetron Vandal, Soma, Latron Prime or Soma), line up your shots and go to town. Of course this also means Sniper Rifle damage is even more hilariously inconsistent but whatever.

On top of the Brakk still doing massive damage to all types, at least one pellet is going to proc every shot. It is a beast.

Super noob question: how does one acquire special crafting materials for stuff likes suits and guns? Like, to build a waframe I need the chassis and helm or whatever, or for that first gun blueprint you need two specific gun parts.

How are these items acquired? Do I need to do/go somewhere specific or are they just random drops?

Weapon parts either drop from bosses or are rewards from certain missions. The two pieces of that gun (assuming you're talking about the Seer) drop from the same boss that gave you the blueprint.

The Warframe components have to be crafted. Usually the same boss will drop the blueprints for all 3 parts of a Frame, but there are a couple of exceptions. Then you just build the parts in the foundry and then use the pieces to build the frame.

The warframe Chassis, Systems and Helmet are blueprints dropped by bosses in Assassination missions. Each boss drops a specific warframe's parts. The Seer pistol requires a barrel and receiver. These are dropped fully build by Vor. There are other weapons that have similar requirements and their parts are always fully built. It's just a matter of collecting them.

So how rare are Orokin Cells? We aren't talking SOJ level right? I have a lot of blueprints from the early bosses with minimal grinding.

Secondly, is the Seer pistol any good? Just to know if its worth the two cells.

I like it and used it a whole bunch before crafting Kunai. The zoom is rather annoying; you're either too close to use it or your target is too far away to make use of it because of projectile speed. Fire speed, mag size and damage seem fine and multishot makes everything better.

They gave the Jaw Sword a base 50% proc chance. Is that the highest in the game? Jaw Sword is still a piece of poo poo, but atleast it might be a fun to use piece of poo poo now.

Not sure if it's the highest but it's still a single blade. I'm letting it soak up xp right now and maybe I'll actually try whacking some dudes with it later. Seemed pretty awful last night. well gently caress, it just got hotfixed to 10%

Go to where you got the first piece. Pray to the random number god. http://guidescroll.com/2013/01/warframe-boss-locations-and-drops-list/
Resources drop from the planets they're listed as dropping from.
