How To START Warframe The RIGHT WAY!

The Core Principle: Mods Equal Power
📌 In Warframe, mods are the primary source of power; even Prime gear is ineffective without properly equipped or upgraded mods.
🛡️ For Warframes, focus on mods that increase ability stats (strength, range, duration, efficiency) and defensive stats (health, shields, armor).
🔋 Mods that boost energy capacity or sustain are also crucial for frequent ability usage.

Mod Capacity and Upgrades
⚙️ Every mod has a cost, and Warframe capacity is increased by leveling up the Warframe (max level 30).
🌟 Bonus capacity is gained by equipping the Dreamer's Bond mod in the Aura slot (obtained after the Venus Junction).
💥 Capacity can be doubled by installing an Orokin Reactor (for Warframes) or an Orokin Catalyst (for weapons).
🔱 Forma can be used to reset a Rank 30 item to zero, granting an extra polarity slot, which reduces mod cost when matched.

Weapon Modding Priorities
🔫 Essential weapon mods focus on increasing damage, multi-shot, critical chance, critical damage, and elemental damage.
🔪 Melee weapons also benefit from mods for attack speed and range.
🔥 For general Star Chart content, the best elemental combinations are Corrosive (Electric + Toxin) and Viral (Toxin + Cold), often augmented with Heat.

The Wukong Strategy for Early Game Progression
🔑 Join a Clan to gain access to the Tenno Lab and Orokin Lab; purchase Dragon Keys for credits from the Orokin Lab.
🐒 Acquire the Wukong Warframe blueprints from the Tenno Lab for crafting later.
🐾 After the Venus Junction, craft the Taxon sentinel and equip the Vacuum mod to automatically collect resources.
💰 Use Nightwave Credits (not Platinum) to purchase Neurodes needed for Wukong components.

Resource Farming and Key Progression Points
🚀 Follow the star chart progression: Earth $\rightarrow$ Venus $\rightarrow$ Mercury $\rightarrow$ Mars $\rightarrow$ Deimos $\rightarrow$ Jupiter (required to craft Wukong).
🔗 Resources like Morphics, Fite, and Rubido are farmed by completing nodes on Earth/Mercury/Mars; Neural Sensors drop on Jupiter.
✨ Argon Crystals for the Neuroptics blueprint are obtained from the Void.

Farming Corrupted Mods via the Void & Wukong
💀 Dragon Keys are used in Orokin Vaults (Horend missions on Deimos) to obtain powerful Corrupted Mods.
☁️ Wukong's Cloud Walker ability is ideal for this as it provides invulnerability and fast movement to locate and open vaults.
💪 Corrupted Mods significantly amplify power; Wukong's passive (Undying) and his exalted weapon (Iron Staff with a pre-installed Orokin Catalyst) make him highly efficient for early farming.

Early Game Endo Farming
🎯 The fastest early-game source of Endo is running Bounties from Mother in the Cambion Drift using Wukong.
🛠️ These bounties drop crucial mods like Blood Rush, Weeping Wounds, and Condition Overload** that drastically improve the Iron Staff.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Prioritize Endo investment early into quality-of-life mods like Streamline, Flow, and Equilibrium to increase ability usage frequency.
➡️ Always open Relics in public lobbies (Void Fissure missions) to maximize reward choices and farm Prime parts concurrently.
➡️ Do NOT spend Nightwave Credits on Orokin Reactors/Catalysts initially; save them exclusively for the Neurode needed for Wukong crafting.
➡️ To deal with specific enemy resistances, analyze the suggested damage types on the mission node and tailor your weapon's elemental mods accordingly (e.g., Corrosive + Blast for Cambion Drift enemies if Viral is resisted).
