Citrine

Congrats you had good rng

All of that math assumes as you state you ignore the drop chances for any parts. That is grossly overstating an improbability. I have nowhere near that much time or even runs on that mission, and not only have all gear, arcanes, and scene, I have multiple copies of the weapons, managed 3 copies of citrine (I play with others as well to help them get theirs), all in a fraction of that stated time. I would still rather having a secondary resource to purchase missing parts than to have it like older frames where grinding and rng are all you have (Khora and Equinox anyone?) Some of you bitch just to bitch and don't have any real reason to when you're given easy ways out.

Citrine definitely FEELS grindier, which is interesting. Though I have yet to have a frame give me as much trouble as Wisp. I ran Ropalolyst so much I could solo it in under 5 minutes and it took me well over 50 runs before I managed to get her last part. I think the issue with Citrine is that it's easy to look at the costs and just assume that the shards are the only way to get them, and if they were it would be a very intimidating grind.

The other issue, is that a lot of players don't play the mission very well. I've only run it a few times and I've already started to get a bad taste of players simply.... not trying to get the shards. It might be that they don't know what they're doing, but it certainly makes the mission feel like a lot more of a grind.

The worst part of all is joining in as a random, and everybody leaves after wave 3, or rotation b, because they don't understand the rotation system. It's especially bad on weeks like this last one, where you have to do three waves specifically for the nightwave challenge, making trying to get a free bp is like pulling teeth from a pissed of crocodile. Finally at 700~ of each shard, with no bp drops besides a couple of the weapon parts that I don't want. The grind wouldn't be anywhere near as bad if they would just double fragment rewards to counter shit rng.

I remember the days when people said Mesa was hard to farm lmao.

Bit Weirdge to assume that someone is unintelligent because they don't like something; they didn't even specify what made it the worst to them

I've farmed Ash (before they buffed the Railjack loot tables), Baruuk + Hildryn, Caliban, Equinox, and Sevagoth

I would sooner do every single one of those farms over again than play defense (mirror or otherwise) for more than a 5 wave alert

Not because it's hard but because defense is the least enjoyable mode in the game by far for me

Still better than Grendel though, those missions were the worst things I've seen in the entirety of Warframe (again, not about difficulty)

Every frame I have has been legit farmed. Atlas was annoying, old Ash sucked because of the rng of grineer manics (before railjack was even a thing). Equinox can go die in a pit (not just for the farm, but the build time too). Vauban was pure rng on if you were online and paying attention when his alerts came up as well as alerts for nitain. Khora just kind of happened while doing my daily ESO for focus, but the genetic code farming to actually build her made me want to pull my own teeth with rusty pliers.

I still don't have Citrine because I don't like sitting in a 20 minute defense mission for a tiny chance to acquire the bps. Heck, I went and solo farmed Grendel and would rather do that again than waste that much time hoping and praying for Citrine parts to drop. The pity mechanic is definitely needed on her, same for Dante, I just wish Gauss had a pity mechanic too, because I actually did that farm and hated it.

Many of you are comparing missions that can be fun or really usefull for other things.

• You can get Khora while leveling your equipment and dealing different factions in different tilesets.

• There's no comparison between Hildryn and Citrine. Facing Exploiter Orb is more fun than doing a boring mission again and again, without any posibility to do the rounds faster. You have more chance to have the set on Hildryn than this Warframe.

• With Harrow you have more variety of missions, the grind is more enjoyable than this and you get a variety of resources.

• Equinox... it depends of your luck sadly, but it can be faster than this sh*t

• Protea... huh? there are a LARGE of number of missions to do while farming this warframe!

• Voruna: uhm... relics, prime parts? you can literally open any type of relic while grinding her or her weapons. But would be good having more missions, instead of 2 with only level difference.

• Caliban: the grind can be horrible, but at least the missions and enemies can vary. Between Fortuna & Cetus. But it can be comparable tbh

• Sevagoth: You open relics while farming him, but the mission can get longer depending on the mission.

Grinding this warframe and Jade is horrible, because the drop chance is so low that you have to repeat the mission many times. Waiting 25 minutes to reach rotation C, hoping to receive a part you need of her. The lack of fragments you get doesnt worth the time you spent on a SINGLE mission.

DE should deffinetly change the way of adding new content, because we only get one single node for every new mission mode. Making the grind horrible!!! Geez! Its like "oh, you want new modes to try? well, have this, a new mode in one mission. Now suffer while we're adding more modes in the near future"

Meanwhile I got 3bps but not the other parts and had to buy them with gems

TRUE

GEMUSSy

GEMUSSY

IN WHAT WORLD IS SHE UGLY?

I knew this would be here in the comments, but the first one? fml.

You commented this after she already had a helmet out though?

He said skin not helmet

"Or anything"

Pretty much nobody cares about helmets, most people want entirely different skins not some reshape of the same head

Bro baruuk has 2 augments

And are pretty neat! the status adaptation thing make him strong brrrrr its like revenant 4th but much stronnger

Except baruuk's desert wind punchthrough does not contribute to combo multiplier ;-;

I don't run the DPS setup for Netracells. I use my regular support tank build, with kit intact.

Good choice, not everything has to be boring, tired shield gating meta. Her kit is fantastic the way it is.

Bro said her "useless 2".... I'm sorry, but citrine is one of the VERY FEW frames where her whole kit is good.

"useless 2" is some advanced youtuber shield gate brain rot

I mean....If you're only pressing 2 you'd be better off with the Mesmir Shield augment. I'm pretty sure Revenant is used because he has an immortal button that takes little to no maintenance, and Citrine is pretty much the opposite of that.(it doesn't make her immortal and it takes some work to maintain). When it comes to a frame with infinite scaling survivability while keeping minimum maintenance in doing so revenant is still basically the top of the list on that department...for better or worse.

.... takes some work to maintain..... You just need to get kills or assists, how is that work to do the thing you are already doing?

You have to refresh the skill every 30-40 seconds. You only have to refresh mesmer skin when your teammates stacks go down. If they dont get hit often those 5 stacks can last

Oh no, I have to spend energy and refresh a skill by pressing a button...... I swear people just want the game to play itself now. Why play or make new frames that take some form of skill or knowledge to play when revenant exists? Why play any other frame when revenant exists?

Citrine is far worse than Equinox bros, Equinox is a quick 3min mission while citrine takes 20mins per part. If you dont have any luck than it takes multiple hours to buy all the parts.

I like mirror defense but no specifically going for Citrine sucks, use mirror defense to level your weapons or something

Dude what are you smoking, "3 minutes" maybe if Tyl Regor and his manic goons actually decide to stop playing hide and seek. Was more like a 8 minute mission in my experience, and the fact that equinox requires 8 parts without a pity system means you have no other options if you get shitty rng on the final piece. The Citrine farm is just a slog, but made painful by the fact that the pity system needs two types of currency that you get a few crumbs at a time every 5 minutes (which realistically would have been double the cost if it was just 1 currency, purely an emotional issue there), but the fact that it has an actual end goal in the worst case scenario makes it infinitely better than the equinox farm. No joke I have probably fought Regor more than 150 times at this point just farming for that last damned night aspect component, it would have been way worse if I needed to do it a second time for helminth.

Turbo is an afk asshole

RE: Equinox

Yeah the farm is cringe but I farmed Equinox yesterday and averaged around 2:30 runs

In terms of time/run sounds like a skill issue

Just hit them ?XD

Yes

False, it does not. Her passive is 50m, which matches base affinity range, but DOES NOT equal affinity radius. Simply reading the passive info block would have told you this, but for the lazy:

"Passive radius matches Affinity Range distance, but is separate from it therefore Fosfor and Mending Unity do not affect Geoluminesence."

She also released on my birthday, happy late birthday

Bc frick us- DE mostlikely

I got the assembly blueprint on the final farming run I needed to go on. Thanks, Warframe.

Because she has a pity system (Talk to Otak). Have a Titania on your team or play Titania while your team defends crystal.

Having at least one of her part is basically a discount.

^ I dropped two part already but still pain in my [Ash] to farm a bit of crystal for hour -_-

Her ussy? More like her, the ussy.

You know you're alive when phallic\clitoral symbols make you laugh

????

She is literally one of the best supports??

Average warframe wiki user. Absolutely degenerate take.
