So apparently I used the 75% off to buy Hildryn last night. An issue I have with this is that I don't have any arcanes, and it seems like Hildryn lives and dies based on her arcanes.

SU is very likely the easiest open world faction to max because of this. Vallis hunting makes everything else look like molasses.

They do not.

The fact that there's no way to break the daily rep cap at all for Cetus and Fortuna is a big part of why those grinds suck.

Animal tags don't give rep. What's being referred to is that animal captures give rep at the time of capture, but it's subject to the normal daily cap.

Which is pretty great when still climbing Cetus ranks, because you don't even have to go find conservation points on the Plains of Eidolon. Just run aimlessly around and tranq the random condrocs and kuakas that show up.

* Got an Oberon? Go solo some Teralysts with him. His carpet negates the mag procs and Rage/Hunter Adrenaline keeps your energy up. His regen is more than enough for keeping lures up on Terry, where healing isn't that important. After you've soloed a few of these you'll click into when/where to shoot and learn the location of lures. It's a lot easier after that because the other two are the same fight with two more weakpoints and a ton of random damage. I cribbed from this video initially.

Any advice for Trinity in a group? Just collect the lures and keep spamming bless to keep them healed, or is there something else?

It's largely just spamming bless when appropriate and really getting down a route to pick up lures quickly. If you're just doing one run then most of the pressure is just on keeping the lures alive or grabbing new ones as needed.

Depends on where you're at really. At 300 hours from a year and a half ago I assume you still have spoiler mode unlocked. There are a few new quests that are kind of neat, you might want to do a little bit of Cetus and Fortuna stuff if you feel hardy at all, giving you access to zaws and kitguns and spoiler weapon parts. The current Nightwave intermission started very recently and has some good rewards in it, some stuff you definitely missed from the first two nightwaves too. Other than that, quests, planet junctions if you haven't done all that yet, chasing new frames and such.

You're coming back a little too early for all the super rad tennocon stuff to be in yet, but the first iteration of that is probably coming very soon. Next week or two, many thought we were getting the mainline update this week but DE said that's definitely got pushed back at least a little bit.

Is there a good companion I should aim for next? I've maxed my dog and I'm close to maxing my sentinel (or whatever that first companion is called). I don't have any other blueprints and I think all the ones on the market cost plat.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Market is weird, if you look at stuff in there you may find they have blueptints for credits. Hit the "blueprint only" option to filter out stuff that can only be plat bought. That said, if you want another animal a smeeta kavat is really good since they have a mod that gives random buffs including a reaource/xp doubler. For sentinels Carrier gives ammo and Helios (from lab) scans things for you

Awesome!

ive never cast anything but 4 as trinity for eidolons. any extra time spent in frame casting stuff is time that you are vulnerable to damage and also not charging void strike.

terry: get 2 lures. tell the chroma you are dropping them off at the eidolon and he should grab them (chroma should get 1 lure himself and charge it). help with the first shield. go get 5 more lures. stand away from the eidolon until all 3 of chroma's lures are charged, then get your 5 in there to suck up more voms. you dont really have to bless at all on terry unless something is going terribly wrong.

garry: life is now easy since you have all your lures and havent let any of them die. hit 4 every time the lasers come out.

harry: even easier than garry. hit 4 like every other limb and you will be fine.

There’s a way to get every non-prime sentinel without spending plat. Most are in the market, Helios and Djinn are in the dojo, and Oxylus is in Fortuna.

Carrier is a sentinel that will help make sure you don’t run out of ammo. Pretty good, big quality of life boost for a number of weapons that have issues with ammo efficiency. The blueprint costs 100k credits on the market.

Helios is a sentinel that will scan enemies for you, adding them to the ship’s codex. Kind of handy when you’re starting out, if you care to work on the codex. Helios is also the only sentinel that can equip the Deconstructor weapon, which is a really effective sentinel weapon that chucks glaives at enemies. 15k from a clan dojo’s energy lab, but the blueprint does require a forma. You’ll get forma from running void fissures, it’s a pretty common reward in a lot of the relics.

Dethcube is the “meta” sentinel due to the Energy Generator precept, available from Cephalon Simaris. It’s kind of pricey and not something I reccomend you work on right now, as Simaris rep is kind of a grind and you should spend what you have on scanner upgrades right now, I’m just including this part because if we’re talking sentinels it’s real dumb not to mention Dethcube. Anyway, the blueprint is on the market for 100k credits.

The other sentinels have some neat stuff going on, but those three are generally considered the best sentinels. Ghost is handy if you’re having trouble with spy missions, as it’ll cloak you when you’re near enemies. Oxylus is handy for fishing but is trapped behind level 5 fortuna rep, which is really something you should not bother with until later, IMO.

Get a Carrier or a Helios. Don't bother trying to bake a kavat yet: you need to build a Kavat Incubator Upgrade Segment, which requires kavat genetic code you have to get by scanning feral kavats, which in turn mostly occur on Orokin Derelict missions you'd need a taxi to visit, outside of one quest you probably haven't done yet. And then after building that you need more genetic code to bake an actual cat.

Besides, you'll want to build a Nutrio Incubator Upgrade Segment (blueprint in the dojo, Tenno Lab) before you mess around too much with cats or dogs. It's just a big convenience to have, especially in the early game, where discounting a big bag of dog food from 75k credits to 5k credits actually really matters.

Would not reccomend trying for kavat scans until you have an upgraded synthesis scanner at the very least. The scan doubler and scan time reducer are critical, as the chance you actually get a kavat genetic code is only 25% and they love to jump around and gently caress up your scan. The scan doubler ends up giving you an additonal 11.25% chance that you’ll get at least one code. The infinite scans upgrade is not critical but it’s extremely nice to have. The other upgrade is not really relevant to kavat scans.

Conservation is fun on PoE as you can just zoom around farming vomas/thumpers/wisps/grok/iradite etc depending on time, and shoot at the dozens of condrocs that will spawn in your flight path.

It's just a personal thing, and I know conservation is the best way for SU rep, but I was bouncing off the poop to footprints to mating call bit. I already told myself I wouldn't play Warframe in a way I didn't enjoy, and I don't enjoy that minigame. It's why I won't get ash for a long time too.

Anyway I bought a resource booster and ran exploiter several times last night and have picked up enough loot to trade in 150k worth of standing which by my calculations just sneaks me into rank 5 (midway rank 3 atm). Worth it to skip the grind imo. I'm only missing familial bonds which I'll buy / bounty with time, and time is what it will take as I'm capped by daily standing anyway. Unfortunately I didn't get all 3 Hildryn pieces... Owned by RNG again.

Being chronically low on argon, oxium, neurodes, and cryotic, this should help with that, too. Plan to take advantage of double traces too to get all my relics I want to crack to rad. I guess I should do toroids as well.

Looking at the boosters, I think resource doubler might be the only one 'worth' plat, actually. Credit you get from daily login and can just run index for 3 hours to get all you need until the next booster drop, but resource booster can meaningfully shorten some of the more tedious grind.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Oh man, molten metal bits splattered over friendly warframes would looks extremely cool. Just slap a metallic texture on the Bloodshed Sigil and you're good to go.

In other news, I dropped some plat on fellow goons to gather 10 Arcane Pistoleers, and ffffuuuuuck I love it. Arcane Velocity was already a top-tier arcane for pistol-centric frames, but Pistoleer makes Titania even more absurd - true, she has regenerating ammo, but when you empty a clip you still have to wait for it to refill - 4 seconds of no ammo consumption is a huge DPS boost, especially since it can be refreshed as long as there are targets available. It's made my Dex Furis absolutely beastly, when previously I'd run out of ammo about 2 minutes into a mission.

The only problem is that there's so much competition for awesome secondary arcanes - Arcane Velocity, Awakening, and to a lesser extent Precision.
Mesa synchronizes TOO well with Velocity since her 4 has no reload or even magazine to speak of so there's absolutely no downside, but I think I'll make a Precision/Pistoleer build just so I can spam my Pyrana Prime endlessly.

Like said above, 300 hours could put you in a lot of different places depending if you bee-lined anything. I would work on Fortuna stuff, check out the Jupiter remaster, do any quests you haven't finished, and work on clearing the new modes for Arbitration unlock. I always recommend casually working on waybounds for spoiler mode on the side too.

If you're not concerned about quest spoilers, the headline notes for the past big patches cover everything you've missed in way more detail. Warframe is still warframe tho.
