Corrosive Projection should be the highest priority to level up once you get it (620 endo).

The straight elemental mods like Infected Clip should be maxed (620 total endo x12).

I recommend getting Hornet Strike and Serration up to at least rank 6 ASAP (1260 endo x2).

Max Pressure Point and Point Blank (310 x2)

Level 6 Vitality & Redirection are good benchmarks (630 endo x2).

Intensify and continuity are worth maxing (930 endo x2).

Stretch & Streamline are also worth maxing (620 x2).

Seeker is worth getting to rank 3 (210 endo).

A stance is also a good idea (140-210 endo).

That's without any nightmare or corrupted mods. Totals up to 15,910-15,980 endo, which seems a little daunting at first but actually turns out to be quite a bit of endo. Near half of that is the elemental mods however, and they're probably the most skimpable. If you are unbearably, unbelievably lucky (literally getting 400 endo on every single A rotation and leaving at 10 minutes), you can get that much endo in 6 hours 40 minutes of high level survival. The actual drop rate is 25% for 400 endo, so it's more like 27 hours. Much faster if you're doing Excavations, but still going to take a while.


You are making this way more daunting than it should be. You will get 4000 endo and 100k credits for sortie rewards, so get carried doing some of those and this grind becomes cake. Just have patience and get carried in sorties and everything is fine. Don't go grind the poo poo out of survival anyway just get carried for goon groups to Hieracon, 4 rotations of that are super easy and fast since infested are poo poo, and with frost it's even more cake.

I forgot about sortie, though it does require TWW so talking about it as an early game thing to do is a little weird to me.

I only used survival because it produced round numbers. I even mention that Excavations should be faster (because they will be).

I guess 4k. Endo is still pretty decent considering how much you get out of melting mods.

Kurbow eggs can sometimes be quest rewards, right? I started the Kurbow chain but if it is a pain in the rear end I can just do other stuff.

I know I can get it for 10 plat but I don't terribly want one right at the moment.

Use someone's referral code for a 7 day affinity (experience) booster. Unless you already made an account in which case welcome to Warframe.

Guess how I feel about minmaxing my free to play experience. I find it tiring because you go through the hoops to get your bonuses or you don't and feel penalized because you didn't. That being said I completely neglected to check for a referral even though I know better. Now excuse me I got to run multiple twitch streams for all the fireworks.

Yes, it very much does.

My highlights so far include 2 3-day affinity boosters, 4 or 5 forma BPs, half a dozen or so nitain, a massive pile of fireworks and Latron BPs, and a bandwidth warning from Comcast.

Neogaf is claiming that you can get drops just by idling streamer chats (add /chat to the stream address).

Eidolon hunters: how do you hunt the teralyst? So far I've managed to break one part solo, and I know that 4 players is basically necessary, and if you want to kill the big guy entirely you'll want to use lures.

How important is madurai? I'm vazarin and it seems like madurai would break the Shields so much faster.

What weapons are good for the joint breaking phase?I had good luck with akstilleto prime, but secura penta feels basically pointless and opticor just didn't do the DPS that I could with the machine pistols. Is peacemaker the way to go?

Doesn't work for me. I opened 24 chats and went on a 10-round defense mission, no drops. Went back to 24 streams, did an extermination, and got five drops.

Always solo spy missions. If you get a corpus excavation for the third mission just skip sorties that day. You can do it but it's not worth it.

Also have at least one assault rifle, sniper rifle, bow, shotgun, and melee weapon that you consider good. They sometimes have weapon restrictions as a mission modifier.

Shotgun and pistol too. What's with the corpus excavations, nullifiers? I don't remember running into one.

Speaking of Corpus Sortie 3's, what works for Level 100 Raptor Assassination besides flying above his head with Titania? Someone said Magnetize doesn't work well at that level?

Last time I did one it was the scrambus and combas that were the problem. The rollerblading corpus guys with funny hats. They can disable your powers with no indication before it happens. Then you get one shot by a bursa because your defensive powers got turned off before you even noticed.

I always wondered what powers those idiots turned off and apparently it's incredibly obtuse where they turn off "classes" of abilities based on what shape their helmet is and it doesn't correspond to 1234.

Goddamn that's an esoteric design choice.
