People dont just simply buy the plat. One of your daily login reward is discount for buying plats, people wait till they get the 75% discount login reward before buying. And also once you figure out what item people like its easy to make free platinums anyway. If you have the time to farm them  .

no LYN clans?

Huih not the Prime Access one, that one no discount at all. Most of the items are farmable anyway except for the ones in the Prime accessories. I have most of the warframe from farming, 2 of them I buy from players because not available in the drop table anymore.

If you want to buy plat wait till you get the 75% login reward, then it would be cheap, otherwise dont, resist that shopping urge. Oh and dont spend your free starter 50p on skin, you only buy weapon and frame slot for starting up.

50 usd is more then enough,

i only spend USD 15 to keep up with the game,
yeah the is the 300 + plat,  yup just that, with 75% discount that about  RM 18 or RM 20 now, depend on the USD rate exchange

DO NOT buy the MOD pack!!!!!      as this is a total rip off
go to trade chat instead

with that plat,
Find all them MOD that you need to get in the game, they are pretty cheap around 5 to 15p, unless you want to farm it, then say hello ro RNG for me

Buy all the potato for weapons and Frame,  20p each! or you can wait for give of lotus on weekend

OR

support the grineer or the Corpus during invasion event, this invasion changes daily so be sure to check the invasion when you log in,
but beware !!! when you support any of this faction there will be a bounty on you head, 

if you support corpus : The G3 will hunt you down
if you support Grineer : The harvester  will hunt you down,

trust me you dont want any of this guys hunt you down when you are alone, 

back to potato, use them at the weapond that you love or for end game,
on warframe for maximum mod potential

If you really new, Focus modding you Primary weapons
then go for frame MOD,

do not get the kubrow as it will consume your credit flow,
Kubrow is OP when you mod it but not for starter, so ignore it first,
Get the carrier sentinel as it will help you with your resource,

hope it helps

You are clearing map nodes? Then that's the reason why you dont get a squad to join you. Not many people are doing that because most are done with them anyway. Plus those are solo stuffs, just a waste to wait for a full squad before going anyway. I'm playing on the Asia server, no problem in getting squads in the active nodes.

I suggest you ignore the star chart or planet nods for now. As they will overhaul it

Go to recruiting chat. And look for taxi when there is a mod or resources alert.

in order to unlock planet you need to defeat curtain boss in a specific planet.  Soo reaching one will take to long and down right impossible if solo.

Seach for a party that want to farm a warframe. As this guy will literally take you to the boss and you will unlock that planet by doing so.

The warframe community are preety good. Someone will help.

If you below MR2 spend some 60 plat to buy boltor prime from trade chat!!
As this is good for end game run too... after you put 4 or 5 forma on it. So its a good newbie investment

up to you what is your aim? if you want perfect game go explore every each node..else taxi people and farm void..easier way to unlock planet is taxi peoplewho farming normal warframe in other word they aim for boss on the planet..u kill boss u unlock new planet..it doesnt have any sequence which one u should do it first..but if u want easy path clear everything la..later can go for invasion mission or alert mission.

if u aim for prime item go to recruit tab and taxi viod

void divide into 4 tower

tower 1 or called t1 (easy mode)

t2 (medium)

t3 (hard)

t4 (very Hard)

Oh u need key to host a void mission (have to farm it usually either def mission or drilling mission)

the prime part is scatter into diff tower u may refer here for the location

when i start i only using loki (normal) as starter (i register early but play later on) then got my first prime which is rhino prime then move on to farm other item (my clanmate give free paris prime)

my favorite weapon is soma prime + orthos prime + lex prime

one of reason why i love this game is because almost everything can be obtain even as free user..what u have to do is farm

2 of the crucial part that was not mentioned in details if you somehow have fail stealth kill scenario;
i) killing X enemy while Y enemy very close to X and if Y is still alive... he will be alerted (indicated by him going into combat stance).
ii) if (i) happened, ignore the Y enemy & move on to kill other enemy . If you didn't move on & proceed to kill that Y enemy, stealth combo will be broken & you have to chain the combo all over again.

iii) Failing to stealth kill your target will put him into alert (aka managed to only down 2/4 or 3/4 of your target's HP)... it does happen with shitty rank & modded gear so in this scenario, i'm not sure the combo gets broken or not as I did not test this one thoroughly & haven't check wiki in details yet

if you really need fast credits, do yourself a favor and buy the credit booster and spam any fast Void run like capture/extermination along with LoR raid runs. I got about 8 million from a 3 day booster and I didn't even play much during that time

as for that stealth experience run, it's totally legit. But know that you must have SUPER MAXED gear to do this

Lol you havent tried the shotguns in this game yet do you? I thought boltor p was great as well, till i try the shotguns. Normal variant hek is on par with the syndicate variant for lower mr players. But the best would be sancti tigris for shotguns in terms of pure damage. And there's no mesa prime yet.
