I got excited for a second but it's Mag Prime I have 3/4 of the parts for. I also have all but one part of Boar Prime, but dang, I want it.

I'm upset that I missed the free Dex Sybaris.

Magic hats, specifically Excalibur Pendragon, Mag Coil, Trinity Aura, Loki Essence, and Rhino Vanguard hats are all pretty valuable. Check warframe.market for pricing.

After half a dozen Void Fissure runs tonight, I have gone from 80% to 90% certainty that using void traces to refine relics does absolutely jack poo poo. One goon in the group kept bringing Radiant poo poo, I brought nothing but Intact stuff, and I kept grabbing Uncommons while the RNG shat on him with nothing but commons or Formas. Or, in the case of the Galatine Prime Blade, every common *but* the one he wanted.

This has been your daily reminder that fully upgraded relics still have a 50% chance of giving you common poo poo. :eng101: It's a 50/40/10 spread.

Wiki says the un-upgraded chances are 76/22/2, so yeah, I can definitely see that happening.

It definitely beats sitting in trade chat for 4 hours, that's for sure. I got my sarynP and trinP off of there for a decent price, and I spent about 5 minutes doing so.

Look for me online I probably have at least 3 out of four parts collecting dust. Or it's like my latron prime collection and I have all of them. Steam is same as here ign is also same.

Ok so I am on the moon looking for flowers to take pictures of because that is a ninja thing to do. Over 4 missions and zero god drat flowers I did find that nyx makes the sentients delightfully easy. The first pack I ran into I forgot what they were then I remembered the last time I saw one of these it dumpstered me hard. So I say gently caress it and charge them and hit 4 once I was there. A few seconds later I ran out if energy and they were vapor. Did this each time I saw them and it worked. I really love when dumb things work in this game.

Also gently caress those flowers.

There's a fairly high level planet you get access to after the Second Dream quest (beware spoilers) which has a defense that quite reliably spits out 2-4 neurodes in a 15 minute run, which you can double with a boost if you really need some neurodes *right now*, but i recommend toughing it out til then.
Fastest way to get neurodes is to run Ivara on exterminates in the Spoiler Zone. Stack power strength and as much damage on your primary weapon as you can, Sleep Arrow the floating disco knives, go Prowl to double-loot them, then use Artemis Bow to mulch them.

That's not "low-level" but it is really fast.

I think neural sensors are the annoying one. They only drop on one planet, and it's all Corpus.

Where does one go to get Tellurium and/or level up Archwing stuff? There's only one Archwing mission every two or three planets. Do you just run the low-level missions over and over again until you can run the higher ones? It doesn't look like there are any endless mission types until Uranus.

Tulip
Jun 3, 2008

yeah thats pretty good


I found that Salacia (Neptune, Mobile Defense) was the least painful way to level archstuff, but the king of tellurium is Ophelia (Uranus, Survival). All submersible maps have tellurium on the drop table, regardless of whether or not you're in your archwing at any point during the mission.

Question:. Does elemental damage do anything extra unless it inflicts a status? Like, say I had a sword with 10% status chance with corrosive damage, would 9/10 of my hits be normal and the tenth be corrosive?

No it always does more damage and occasionally does a corrosive status effect which reduces their armor.

Magnetic is a bad damage type, just go toxic to bypass shields completely.

By the way, for those of you who are grinding the new aura mods:

Specters are guaranteed to drop 1 of their mods
Hydroid with Pilfering Swarm will drop an extra mod.
Nekros Desecrate works.
Apothic sharing is a very good idea.

Only for people who don't understand how the damage system works (which, in fairness, is most people).

Without going into effortpost and spreadsheet territory, you use cold because it pulls double duty against corpus shields and alloy armor. The latter is important because Bombards and Napalms are A Thing, and cold does more damage against enemies with alloy armor than fire does.

There's a case to be made with going pure viral against corrputed/grineer if you're running a full group with corrosive projection and thus don't have to worry about armor at all, but that's getting into min-max territory and the whole point of this is laziness.

A Synoid Simulor modded for gas damage will utterly wreck Corpus at the sortie level. Then again, the Synoid Simulor is a pretty ridiculous weapon in general.

Tulip

Corrosive-Fire does maximal damage against Heavy Gunners and erodes the armor of Bombards if you don't have full CP, which made it the go-to damage setup for fighting in the void since those were the two dangerous enemies. I still think it's the best damage type for no-braining, since Heat and Corrosive only have damage penalties against the relatively rare P Shield type (Tech, Nullifier, Sniper, Corpus Bosses, and Stalker).

Magnetic is good on status weapons against Corpus, but I have to reiterate that a max toxin Vulkar Wraith will one shot a good chunk of level 100 corpus.

They're placed to look like they grow in moon dust, so look around outdoors, and when indoors, look for broken up areas where the dust has spilled in, and also in the various orokin plant pots, especially ones that have giant but unscannable versions of the pitcher plants.

Corrosive/Fire is mostly just a thing on shotguns because of Blaze. You're basically stuck with Fire and something or a Fire combo element and something else, like Radiation/Toxic.
