Tips & Next Steps

Level everything to rank 30 before deciding what to sell. MR XP is only earned once per item. Build a habit of leveling new things in low-level missions before keeping or selling.

Scanning enemies fills their Codex entry, revealing drop tables. Scan enemies with a Synthesis Scanner (bought from Cephalon Simaris) to earn Standing with Simaris — a useful late-game resource.

Platinum is extremely valuable and limited unless you trade. Only spend it on things you can't earn through play — primarily weapon/Warframe slots and cosmetics.

An unmodded weapon feels terrible. Even basic mods like Serration on rifles make an enormous difference. Visit your Arsenal and fill every mod slot with something as soon as you start collecting mods.

Clans give access to a Dojo with research stations that unlock exclusive weapons and items not available anywhere else. The trading system also requires a Dojo or Maroo's Bazaar. Find a good clan early.

Ayatan Sculptures are golden ornaments found hidden in missions. Grab them whenever you see them — they can be traded to Maroo on Mars for large amounts of Endo, which is always in demand.

Most Warframes can be farmed for free by running boss missions. Save Platinum for slots and cosmetics. The crafting grind is part of the game experience.

Warframe is a long journey. Don't rush quests out of order. Don't farm Steel Path (the endgame difficulty modifier) before you have proper builds. Build naturally and the game stays fun longer.
