Is it possible to trigger the tutorial/new player experience on an old account?

Go to the quest section in the codex and select Vor's Prize, which is the game's tutorial questline. There should be a "replay" button that lets you start over and replay the tutorial from the beginning. Or at least I think it does that. I've never hit the button myself.

That one's pretty hilarious when you're coming back to it with an overleveled minmaxed gun and farming for warframe parts. If you oneshot the Ravens just as they rise out of their tubes, the bombs will fall right onto the goal without you doing anything.

Alright! Here (https://tinyurl.com/BaconPoE) is the first version of my PoE guide.

Keep in mind this is not intended to be a guide to the very basics. I leave that to the Wiki, along with exact descriptions of the mechanics, etc. The Wiki for Warframe is really good, use it! This is more a guide to how I think it's to best spend your time on the Plains and how I go about doing things. It also includes my guide to Zaws and will include a guide to Amps as well. I'll probably have it all done by this weekend.

I've enabled commenting (a terrible mistake?) so please leave comments and corrections, I'm sure I'll get some stuff wrong but I think in general it's all pretty accurate and reflects my experience. You can also just PM me or respond in the thread, I'll see it. In addition to the section on Amps it also needs the sections on Mining and Eidolon Hunting, expect those in the next couple days as well.

Wisp farming route.

BEARD OF HAVOC

Wisps are easy, just tedious. They spawn on shorelines, right at the water's edge. They show up on loot radar, but do not have a special icon. Slap on Thief's Wit and go bouncing around, it shouldn't take very long to learn where they're likely to show up (potential spawn locations are fixed, whether or not a wisp will show up in a given spot is not). I usually run a quick circuit from the geyser pond up to the river, then down to the lake and follow it toward the sea, then up and back to Cetus to reset the instance for another run (basically the map above). If you're lucky, you can get half a dozen wisps in a run this way, but realistically it's more like 3-4 depending on how thorough you feel like being. Resource boosters help if you luck into one from a login/sortie reward or feel like spending some plat.

If you're just starting Poe, I'd highly suggest a resource booster. Double the ore, fish, wisps, and Poe specific drops will greatly help you along. I doubt I'd ever fish or mine without a doubler (gently caress sentirum!). Selling glappids has paid for my doublers on their own and I'll probably throw some plat Down on another 30day booster tomorrow

Yeah I'll definitely add a wisp guide, I've refined that farm a fair bit because I have brain problems and needed to make a full set of "perfect" Amps despite having two made already. And of course the ones I wanted to make took mostly tier 3 parts. Not to mention the arcanes....

Sybaris is kind of a slow-firing semi-auto weapon that aims to kill in only a few shots, so it's not too hot with corrosive procs which you kind of want a lot of. So with the build you're using, status chance doesn't really matter. I'd either ditch one of the 60% mods for HM or switch the status mods from corrosive to viral and then drop both 90% mods for hunter munitions + vigilante armaments.
But even though corrosive status isn't doing too much work, the damage type is still really good against ferrite armor. So i'm not sure exactly where the tradeoff point is when swapping from corrosive 90% mods to viral 60% mods becomes worthwhile. Or it might be worth swapping from corrosive to radiation damage, if you can kill the chumps in one burst but need more oomph against bombards etc.

edit: And the viral + munitions build is equally good against high level corpus as against grineer, since both viral and slash status bypass shields. Magnetic is for nerds.

Never, EVER mod for magnetic, it is so garbage. The elements I'd suggest for a semi/slow firing weapon like the sybaris would be Radiation for the type effectiveness against everything that matters(the tougher grineer like bombard and heavy gunner), or Viral for the debuff.

Never mod for magnetic, ever. If you need to wear down corpus, use toxic. Toxic bypasses shields and goes straight to their health pool.

In the ideal world I would probably run something along the lines of this:



With Hunter Munitions you want to build as much damage and crit chance as possible and then land headshots. Most enemies have a 2x damage multiplier on their head, and if a headshot is a critical hit, then there's another 2x damage multiplier. That's on top of the weapon's existing crit damage multiplier (4.4 in this case), so you're looking at a 17.6x increase in damage on a headshot, and since the gun would have just over a 1.0 crit chance, you would occasionally get orange crits for twice that amount. That's a lot of damage on its own, but the real appeal is that a 100% crit chance on a gun that shoots 3-4 bullets every time you pull the trigger means that you're going to be proccing Hunter Munitions a decent amount, which with this build should cause around 70k damage over six seconds that bypasses all shields and armor each time it activates.

This is loving fantastic! Zaw section is everything I'd ever wanted from a guide.

As an avid fisher I like to fish for Norgs in the lake at night simply because when one hotspot runs out, there is always another within sight and bullet jump, so there is no need to go traveling around to other ponds. Also a nice trick with Norgs on the Lake is to bait and illuminate two different hotspots that are some distance but not too far away and hop between the two when you catch all the norgs that have spawned in one place. The fish will have despawned if the distance is long enough, so you dont have to worry about getting rid of eels so more norgs can spawn. Really speeds up catching.

Also for fishing murkrays I'd go to the south-east sea shore at night. The hotspots are close together and at night you don't have to worry about traloks getting in the way. A problem if you go fishing without volt (like I do).

This build is perfect except I'm just going to assume you misclicked and put Heat instead of Toxic because Viral is what you want with a Hunter Munitions build. Other than that it's basically the top end of HM builds for Sybaris Prime.

Yeah Norg are definitely good I just feel like Cuthol have a better spawn rate and Lungfish are better than Charc Eels from a max-Standing point of view, but it's pretty nitpicky. As you mention, Norg are way easier if you don't want to futz around with Archwing because the hotspots are all over the goddamn place. Norg are also god tier fish for your fish tank so there is that. If you don't mind I may just quote you in the guide since I think it's good to give folks options.

Fair. I will note (because I can't help myself) that Blast damage is anti-synergistic with a headshot focused weapon and the Viral proc is about infinity times better for what a Hunter Munitions build wants to do. However, Blast damage is funny and for the vast majority of the starchart it's not going to fuckin matter so go nuts.

The little infested are weak to gas, while the big ancients etc are weak to corrosive and to a lesser degree blast. But really, infested are all so squishy compared to the other factions that you don't have to really care about damage types.

For infested small-fry Heat or Gas. For the larger dudes, Corrosive. Always prioritize ancient healers because they have a damage resist aura that at higher levels can make everything very durable until it's dealt with.

If you are focus farming with sleepquinox the generally used node is Sedna - Adaro. It's a decently high level Grineer exterminate so the most bullshit thing you will encounter is a Bombard and any melee weapon capable of doing the farm correctly should one-shot those with a finisher if not just a regular slide attack.
