As you play relics will be a thing you get often. These contain primed parts. They are used in Void Fissures that match their name. These relics are able to be improved by using void essence you get by doing void fissures. The way they relics start is the following ranks

Intact

Flawless

Radiant

Each time you upgrade the lowest % chance items will increase while the rest of common items decrease in chance. So there is some value to all the relics depending on what you want. However if you get a relic that drops as a Flawless relic you can not upgrade it to radiant. Further, with the instruction of Sanctuary Onslaught, Elite Sanctuary Onslaught can drop fully Radiant relics very often. This website will allow you to look at all the relics and get a idea on what relic you want to find that will give you the warframe parts you want. Some relics may be vaulted as well. Once you find your relic you need you can look up on the warframe wiki for the location they drop.

Zaws can be made for most available melee weapon types and generally tend to be some of the most powerful in their weapon class with the right combinations. Some Zaw pieces are only available through special event operations such as the Plague Kripath and Plague Keewar strikes and the Bokwin grip.

Love them, hate them, they are here and not going anywhere anytime soon. Every single weapon in the game that is not exalted has a riven. Along with that they have a riven disposition. The rivens can provide bonuses of any stat available to melee weapons and guns. They can be INSANELY powerful or laughably bad. Rivens can come with a combination of of stats through RNG however there is a few constants. Rivens will always work in the parameters of how many positives and negatives they can have.

2 positives and no negative

3 positives and no negative

2 positives and 1 negative

3 positives and 1 negative

Negatives will raise the stats of said positives however the negatives can be devastating rendering all positives useless. The price range for these things is extremely wild depending on your roll. Many people will try and take advantage of you when you are new which can cost you thousands of platinum in one way or another. These following website and discord link can help you prepare the best you can for this market. Highly recommended is the Discord channel. Upon entering this discord it is highly advised to read how the bot works.

General

Our lovely red liquid. Upon finishing The War Within and getting your very first riven you will also gain access to the Kuva fortress, Kuva Siphons and Kuva Flood. This resource will either be your favorite farm or most hated. Rivens as stated above can come with potentially powerful stats or laughable. However if you have a bad riven or even just want a better roll Kuva is how you will do this. Upon getting your riven you gain the option to reroll them at the mod station. Each roll costs Kuva and increases each time maxing out at 3500 kuva at 10 rolls. You can roll your mod as many times as need with some people foolishly rolling into the several hundreds of roles. When you roll your riven you are given the option of keeping your previous roll or keeping the new one.

Farming

The way you farm Kuva is to look for the Kuva Fortress on your star chart. It moves around constantly however whatever planet/moon it is closest to will have red tear drops on them(Infest maps SUCK!). When selected you will have the option of selecting the normal mission or the Kuva Siphon. Floods are indicated by a trinity of red tear drops. The survival mission on the fortress itself has a unique survival mode that drops kuva as well. This mode is done simply by not using the life support towers and instead bringing a red canister that drops from special enemies near the tower to the tower then defending it for a short period of time. This is less efficient than doing floods but more efficient than doing basic kuva missions.

Kuva missions

Upon entering the missions it will seem as a standard mission, however somewhere on the map is a Kuva Siphon. When you get close to it you will see the Grineer Queen pop up and talk some shit and it will become marked on your map when close enough. When you find the Siphon it will be immune to all damage and have Kuva Guardians around it. You need to pay attention to the Siphons themselves cause the 4 tubes on it will help you indicate where the Kuva Cloud you must intercept is coming from. A tube will lift up sucking up air and pointing in the direction the Kuva is coming from. You will visually see a Kuva Cloud coming towards the Siphon in the direction the tube is pointing. To intercept this cloud you must go into operator mode and void dash THROUGH the cloud. When done properly it will destroy a tube. You must repeat this 4 times. Upon destruction of a tube the Grineer Queen will talk shit to you and when the Siphon itself is destroyed she will talk even more shit. Once destroyed you must finish the mission objective(if its not already done) and extract. If the Charm buff is active when the Siphon dies you will receive the double resource buff. This is particularly sexy during a rare double resource weekend.

Endo is arguably the most important resource in the game. You use it to increase the ranks of your mods thus increasing the stat bonuses. Some mods however such as Primed Mods and other mods with 10 ranks cost large sums of Endo going all the way up to 39,000 Endo. Along with this is a Credits fee however Credit farming is not very hard and will be covered further down.

While doing missions you will find Endo Orbs and also receive Endo rewards from missions/bounties/sorties.

You will also find Ayatan Stars that are worth Endo. Along with this you can find Ayatan Statues that have slots for the stars increasing the value of Endo that can be extracted from them. The stars themselves have 2 raritys being Cyan as Common and Amber as Rare.

Along with this there is several different statues with different amounts given. These statues are a bit harder to find however you can trade for them and you can also get one from Maroo's Weekly quest. Or like most of us get them from daily Sortie Missions

If you are new it is highly recommended you avoid trade chat for a while until you get a good grasp of the game and the value of what you are getting from missions/bounties/sorties. This website is super simple. You type in the item/mod/prime piece/relic/sealed riven/arcanes and hit enter and it will pull up a list of players selling and also shows their online status. You are capable of listing items yourself to sell. Each player has a karma rating showing how many positive and negative reviews they have. Players with bad reviews usually get filtered out quickly making this website as safe as it gets. To put it short this is the auction house of the game. UTILIZE THIS WEBSITE!
