100% recommend farming Ivara as a new player to make ALL fishing/hunting trivial to do. Go invis, set up a suspension line over fishing spot, and easily fish without them running away. Her sleep arrow is perfect for hunting as well. The only thing she isn’t amazing for is mining because the laser deactivates her invis.

[@Prophes0r]

Dashwires break fishing a lot. I used to use this method, and still do to move from 1 side of the lake to another, but this year I have noticed fish failing to spawn, or even despawning when I get on a dashwire that the game decides is "wrong" for fishing. Ivara with the stealth drill addon is the ONLY way to mine IMO.

[@legit.peasant]

One important note about the Deimos Mining: Namalon can be a little hard to get. When Deimos first dropped, Namalon and Thaumica were a similar rarity, however in November of 2020, a patch for the Deimos update came out; and Thaumica's drop chance was doubled and the drop chance of Namalon was lowered significantly. Sometimes it drops really easily like it does here, but in my experience it can be as rare as Rocking Horse Dung. Patience is a virtue when mining for Namalon, and maybe a bit of swearing and nashing of teeth if you can get away with it. Best of luck to those on the quest to build a Necramech.

[@Prophes0r]

I ran into this problem recently. I needed ~250 Devolved Namalon for some crafts and it took me HOURS of mining to get it. I got over a thousand Thaumica by the time I had the 200ish Namalon I needed.

[@wtfman2049]

i used a mining laser of lower quality somehow that did the trick for me

[@Prophes0r]

@@wtfman2049 That was disproven years ago. And there was a dev post on it a few years ago too. (2017?) Lower quality lasers DO NOT change your drops in any way. It is a simple drop table assigned to each group of nodes.

I’m a new-ish player and this grind has really taken the wind out of my sails. Everything felt pretty smooth up until Deimos and now I have to do a bunch of stuff that doesn’t seem very fun.

[@Mmmm_tea]

this was a quitting point for a friend I got into warframe, DE really should give a loaner mech for the story like they did with snake, I actually hate the finished mechs, they have very little relevance and you can use them almost nowhere and places you can use them outside of open world have meainignless time restrictions!

[@Thalanox]

Treating a marathon like a sprint tends to have that effect. Are you treating this like some annoyance you have to endure in order to unlock features you think you should have had access to when you first started the game? For longer grinds, I recommend working out ways you can grind for this while also getting other stuff done that you want to do. Optimizing for the fastest possible grind or the most possible amount of resources in order to get something is the best way to destroy your enjoyment.

[@rotationalbox588]

@ it’s more so the specific activities that I don’t like. I like using my Warframe and its abilities. Mining and fishing don’t have much appeal to me

[@glimmereyes9089]

Small optimization for breaking boxes while mining, if you use quick melee you can tap Zoom to bring the laser back out rather than the gear wheel. Practice/comfort will likely dwarf any gains, but for a new player it might be worth practicing. You can also set up a keybind for the laser, but less useful for controller players.

[@Emptylord]

I often use the Exploiter Cave for mining on Fortuna. It's a great cave by itself (usually) - but entering and exiting the boss room at the bottom reloads all the other nodes on the map (like extracting). So you get to do the cave twice in quick succession. Your spot and actually reloading looks like it'd probably faster. Thank you for a good mining location on Deimos, too!

[@nschilk]

This was extremely helpful. Thank you. I've been procrastinating on the Nercamech bc of how tedious it is, but this made it short sweet and to the point. Much appreciated 👍

[@umbradraconis88]

You came recommended by a streamer I watch and I’m not disappointed. This was VERY well explained and easy to follow along. I’ve watched a few of your vids and they all have helped me tremendously. Keep up the great work and guides my dude 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@slopedforehead]

It's a good thing they don't require trapezium xenorhast. I still think it's insane DE makes us play through all 13 games of the Kingdom Hearts trilogy to farm them.

[@Yewrenegade]

As a necramech farmer, I'll always do this to help new players get their mechs fully built and ready :3

[@Vaz_G]

Do you sell mech sets for plat?

[@Yewrenegade]

@Vaz_G yep, specifically the built ones. I sold normally for 65 plat, they can also ask for discounts in which I bump it down to 35-45 plat for the fully built set

[@brandonboothroyd240]

As an ex mech farmer, I usually just gave them away but I definitely played like an unhealthy amount and had to take a break around protea prime access lol. Especially if I had enough to make and give away. But im waiting for that 1999 update to suck me right back in. Also the devolved namalon was literally the bane of my existence when I farmed mechs. That was the one resource I got so unlucky with lol

[@the_last_ballad]

I do that to. The mechs suck to farm, so I just craft a set to give away whenever I have enough

[@soulofdarkmoon]

You’re a champion. As a new player coming back and finally getting up to prelude to war getting so excited to start second war then be like wtf is a necromech. I’ve got everything done other than 21 purified heciphron

Neat! Currently helping someone to get ready for the new war, so this is perfect timing, especially with the text guide as reference. Thank you!

[@kosm999]

Necramechs need a serious buff. They’re supposed to be these powerful, hard to get and limited use war machines - but as is they not only can’t compete with Warframes, they can’t even compete with your average primary weapon.

[@canolathra6865]

Arquebex can still kill everything that doesn't have Attenuation, but outside of that one skill they are pretty much useless.

[@Yewrenegade]

Hell I remember one post in the past talking how Steve would like to add more necramechs in the future, but the update and iso vault farms were so bad they basically semi scrapped the idea to add more. Hopefully Rebecca and her new team can add more variety and buff the old mechs

[@davefinfrock3324]

Two things: one is they're powerful enough to do what you need them to do. They're essentially tied to the narrative and they get the job required there done. That same narrative implies they were a not entirely successful technology that was replaced by warframes. Two is no one wanted these things. I didn't come to this game to play mechs. If I wanted to play Mechwarrior, then I'd play Mechwarrior. Having said that, they are somewhat interesting, but there is no practical reason to choose them over warframes.

[@84m30]

I find it weird that the Necramech, maybe the least relevant thing in your arsenal, is the biggest roadblock to progressing the story. They have made the archwing and railjack very reasonable to attain. Why are they so insistent that it stays this way? One measly necramech segment in the new war keeps new players from enjoying the quests?

[@chaosgyro]

Almost all of this stuff comes easily except the Heciphron. Breaking boxes usually gives all of the fish parts before you even realize you're going to need them, and the amounts on Plains/Vallis materials are very low.

[@84m30]

@ true it’s not actually difficult but it’s still strange that something as non essential as the mech is the biggest challenge for new players progressing forward. It just takes so much longer/more than the other build requirements

[@chaosgyro]

@@84m30 I just wouldn't say it's non-essential either. The necramech slots perfectly into making eidolon and orb fights more approachable, and having a Mausolon instantly makes archwing content better as well. I watched both of my kids totally change how much they could engage with multiple systems just because they now had the necramech, mausolon, and arquebex.

[@SirLanik]

New player here and even with no guide it only took me like two or three hours across a few play sessions to build the voidrig. It’s not that bad to get the rep and do a little mining

[@Schatten.mensch]

Having used the guide yesterday to help a friend with the farm I can confirm it is very useful. Thanks again! One thing I'd suggest for future guides of a similar nature is to include a checklist of all the base materials and their amounts, taking their crafting sizes into consideration. Having a central and concise "this is what we need to farm" list would streamline the process a bit more.

[@SirLanik]

An easy way to supplement this farm I found accidentally as a new player who built his rig just yesterday without this guide- the isolation bounties, even level 1, can give you the Biotic Filters/Spines and the parts you buy from Father, plus rep. So you can do one or two of those for rep before buying/farming and see what you still need after. (I only had to fish up two spines and didn’t even know about the bait, I got my filters from the isolation bounty)

[@niteus4907]

Glad to see that getting a mech is way less of a slog that it was at launch

[@underatededm93]

please do an updated profit taker build/guide plz

[@Prophes0r]

Minor critique: Mining nodes are not randomized. They appear only at specific designated locations. They each have an associated loot table, which they roll when you use it. Ore/gems are not distributed evenly on these loot tables. What this means is that some areas of the map have very low, or zero chance to drop certain things, while other areas have a different weighting. The spot on The Plains is a great example of this. This cave is the best place for Auron, not just because there are many nodes, but also because Auron is more heavily weighted on the loot table. Many other areas on The Plains have a very low, or even zero chance to drop Auron. The areas you show might be able to drop every resource you need to build a Mech, which is fine because it is the subject of this video. But you sort-of frames your statements like those are the best/only spots you will need for "all" mining. Players need to understand that when target farming something specific, they might need to go somewhere else(treating it a lot more like fishing.) Your preferred spot on Venus might be a good spot for these particular resources, but it can't drop all of the stuff you will need. Otherwise? Great new player guide. I'll deffo be pointing people here when I help them out. Cheers!

[@luckyjohnson1767]

Man. I watched just because I was curious. I did a bunch of this open world shit for other stuff, but never did the Voidrig. And this video let me know that there was no fuckin way Im doing it AGAIN. But I was curious just how far along I was. I checked and its just enough to not be enough. But enough that I in fact will be doing this shit AGAIN. Im still gonna bitch about it though.

[@Technomolee]

Use quick melee to break resource crates/pods then aim down sight to quickly go back to the mining laser

[@Dlark17]

A refresh on the Box Breaker Xaku build wouldnt be bad!

[@whogivesaxxxx2594]

I think taking a mag or zephyr for "box breaking" while on the open worlds is pretty helpful as well. I get a lot of fish parts and ores from the boxes, so that may help speed up the farm. Xaku is also really good, but mag and zephyr are easier to acquire. Edit: love your videos, Zime. Still hoping you will do a velocipod farming video

[@MrEvan1932]

I wish this came out last week when I was farming the resources for the parts 🙃

[@Thalanox]

For Rep, I thought it was generally the goal to make and spend Grandmother tokens, since you get more rep out of it than what you need to put into the Grandmother tokens.

[@canolathra6865]

If you want to rank up the syndicate and get the weapons/arcanes/etc., yes. But if your intention is to simply make a mech as fast as possible, farming mother tokens will be faster than farming all of the other tokens and getting Grandma tokens. So buy any Grandma tokens that cost only Mother tokens (which is typically maybe 1 every few hours), but otherwise spamming bounties will be faster.

[@Thalanox]

@@canolathra6865 Thanks for the information. Optimizing for fastest possible obsessive grind kills fun faster than anything else for me, so I prefer taking the slower route. I'm currently working on getting more arcanes and levelling them up. They're making trying Steel Path stuff and arbitrations a lot easier.

[@SineFineInanis]

All of my buddies really hate fishing and mining so I normally tell them to just do side objectives, like thumpers, that give the same materials

I bought my mech from the market with a discount, once i got it from the login i started farming and cracking relics to get full sets to sell.

@vost2916 Oh boy, where to begin? There wete a few nightmares along the journey. I'll share some of the worse. - K-Drives: Oh my, they were a PAIN when Fortuna first came out. - Railjack Intrinsics (before Rework): That was just not a good time. Glad DE learned their lesson from that. - Kuva and Tenet Weapons: Not as bad because I took the 5 Forma as an excuse to just build all of them but still pretty bad. I kinda leveled them up passively (just forma'ing them and playing the game normally). Had I focused solely on doing this, I think I would've physically died. - AMPs: Back when Operators were ass, AMPs were pretty annoying to level up, especially considering how you had to level them up twoce due to guilding and there was no Sanctuary Onslaught, meaning you had to run Hydron exclusively.

[@TheM0dernPatri0t]

Same here

[@rodrigopinto9804]

@@Ninja_Pro As far as i can make out, it was part of either "long term investment on your weapons" or, and this is the most likely, artificially extending grinding times. Warframe wasn't always as big as it is now. I have no doubt that Lich Weapons reaching Rank 40 was made for the sole purpose of pushing Forma purchases which in turn, pushes Platinum Pack Purchases. Now I think the Mechanic has just stuck around. For the Technocyte Weapons (from the upcoming Technocyte Coda), Rebb straight up asked if the players wanted them to be Rank 30 or Rank 40 and it seems it'll be Rank 40 per the Stream's comments. I hope they give out some buffs to justify the 5 Forma investment and get that "long term weapon investment" feeling these Weapons should have.

[@georgeavocado6251]

I don't know if there's any truth to this, but I've heard that the advanced nosam cutter that you get from cetus is better at gathering heciphron due to the mining chances being bugged for the sunpoint drill

[@Brozime]

It’s not better at getting it but some of the lower drills can’t get rare gems making it technically more common to get everything else. Sadly you can’t use multiple drills together making that a not worth it pain to do

[@chaosgyro]

​@Brozime I don't know. With as rarely as heciphron dropped for my sons recently I think it might be just worth the extra pain to have even a placebo effect while trying to get the golden nuggets. For reference: I got most of my Heciphron from box breaking and a love of doing all the extra Vault rooms. I wound up trading at least 50-60 of the 80 heciphron needed for two voidrigs because several hours of mining didn't yield nearly enough for them.

[@nohbodhi1120]

I haven't played Warframe in a WHILE. And the grind to build the necramech accounts almost entirely for that. I did it all on my own, without help, and it took so incredibly long. Then after I finished I grinded for every single necramech mod...every single one. It was for the new war, I thought it'd be needed, it was not. And that right there made me fall out of love with the game tbh

[@dubborino979]

On an incredibly really weird note, Heciphron is easier to obtain with the Focused Nosam Laser you get on Cetus. I do not understand why but I spent an hour or 2 with the Sunpoint and barely got Heciphron but then I used the Focused Nosam and got all the Heciphron I needed in under 30mins. Last I remember there is a hidden "tier" system to the drills with the nosam at 1, focused nosam at 2, and the Sunpoint at 3 which would end up giving you "rarer" materials.

[@Prophes0r]

Absolutely untrue. The whole "Quality" of ores/gems has always been a myth. It is a simple drop table like a crate. An ore node in that location will always roll on that exact drop table, with NOTHING modifying the roll. If it is an 80%/20% split, it will always be that. PLEASE stop spreading this myth.

[@Violetawa]

DE pls put this video in the codex ingame lol

[@Mmmm_tea]

TIP:don't use the sunpoint mining tool, use the second best one from cetus mining vendor *focused nosam cutter*, why? because it can't find rare gems and will making farming the regular ores faster since mining nodes can't be rare gems anymore

[@Brozime]

Unfortunately getting the ranks necessary for that isn’t faster than just mining more and you lose features that make mining easier from the sun point so that advice only really works for people who understand how the mining nodes spawn which doesn’t apply to newer players and is too much of a hassle anyway imo

[@Apaclypse]

Great guide but Good enough reason to quit.. lol

[@KumaBones]

Now how to level a necramech, and your archwing shit

[@Prophes0r]

And not just level it. Level it 6 times. Mechs work like Kuva/Tenet weapons where you get 2 extra levels and more affinity for the first 5 forma. Leveling Archwing is trivial though. Step 1. Go to Salacia, the mobile defense on Neptune. Step 2. repeat. 2-3 runs will fully level stuff. It's very fast and without much challenge. Mechs? Level them in Railjack endless missions or Conjunction Survival on Lua.
