I want to play the new games I got but I’m too tired after work to learn so I just keep playing Warframe instead. I am shocked I haven’t burned out yet, I guess the weekly content is enough to keep me going for now.
What’s there to do if you filled your account’s capacity to carry characters? I maxed out those I have, with a couple ready but kept in a forge due to the lack of space. It seems without any option to buy more space I’m stuck. Is it possible to get over it grinding/selling in-game stuff?
Yeah, you can buy more frame slots for 20 platinum each, and you can trade things to other players for platinum. The main things people trade are prime parts (from void relics, typically go from between 2-10p), rare mods (like those from orokin derelict vaults, nightmare mode missions, or just rare or inconvenient mods, like Bite (1/15,000 chance to drop from any animal enemy, goes for 65p) or Rime Rounds (a reward from Spy missions, which most people don’t like, goes for 30p)), and riven mods.
Riven mods are total random chance, in that most of them are near-worthless unless you roll really good stats, but for certain popular weapons, even absolute garbo rivens can be worth 100+ platinum. A few weeks ago I sold a Furis riven for 150p, for instance.
The website almost everybody uses to coordinate trading is warframe.market. It’s 3rd party and a little annoying to make an account, but I’ve made several thousand plat trading through it. You can also always go to trading hubs like Maroo’s Bazaar in-game or try to sell stuff in trade chat, but there are a lot of scammers who’ll try to rip you off there.
Also, if you do the weekly Nightwave battlepass objectives, there’s always 1 free warframe slot (and 2 free weapon slots) somewhere in the reward progression.
Idk how people get up to speed with warframe. I played it during beta for a bit, then for a couple years until they introduced Rivens. Coming back after a long break to Plains, Eidolons, Arcanes, Venus, Deimos, Duviri, Sorties, Arena, Conclave, Index, etc. I’m so lost these days lol
Plains, Fortuna, Deimos - max out faction rep then buy their equipment if it looks fun.
Eidolons - don’t bother
Arcanes - worry about them later, when you get to Cavia you can buy booster packs by melting dupes. And sometimes you can get them easily during events
Duviri - get incarnon adapters in steel path or warframe parts without RNG in normal
Sorties - skip if spy or radiation
Arena, conclave - don’t bother
Index - if you need credits
Try to prioritize unlocking steel path and finding a load out that works there so you can start accumulating resources faster.
Imo SP isn’t that important. If you just play the game normally you’ll have a massive surplus of most resources excluding edge-cases like tellurium, hexenon, and mutagen samples (if going for hema). Faster faction rep is nice, but you’re also capped anyway, and ime the SP bounties in the open worlds are so much slower until you really take off that it’s not even usually worth it (disregarding entirely that randos in public lobbies will generally do a much worse job). Acolyte arcanes and more arcane adaptors are nice, as are incarnon adapters, but you can easily get by even late-game with more easily accessible ones like the Laetum.
true, the SP bounties aren’t worth it (except in 1999 i think). still best to SP everything else you can just because having tons of steel essence and duplicate arcanes to melt is never going to be something you regret.
Yeaaaaaaaaaah I can see it, I quit shortly after Fortuna came out so none of the modes were too far out there from what I knew at the time. I mostly just went through the quests and looked up where to get the new warframes on the wiki, then would engage with that content until I got the frame which was usually enough to become passably familiar with it. In a way, it’s nice that the content drops are so siloed off because it means you can go do all of the eg Railjack content and can just focus on that until you’re done.
On the other hand, if you wanted to get caught up so you could actually play the newest event that was active until like a week ago, it meant doing like 20 hours of narrative quests in a row.

Thank you, I’m saving that.
