THESE Warframe Mistakes DOOM your entire Account!... 

I spent hundreds of Plat on stupid Rivens What was YOUR most painful mistake?

"or if you're a veteran with over 1000 hours" bud... I'm a beginner with over 1000 hours

Blacky, I wasted my starting platinum on colors. Best purchase. I’ve got this sweet color scheme where my Mag is a clean crisp white, and her helmet face and her trim is this dark red. It’s gorgeous. I’m missing out on power, but baby, my ass is getting kicked in STYLE. MMMM MMMM MMMMM no regrets.

I sold my harrow chassis by accident 😭😭😭 now i only have 245 left

I have spent unreal amounts of platinum on cosmetics, including the starting platinum, and i regret nothing.

-Spent it on a syandana -My account got deleted, so I started over -Spent it on a syandana again

I'm the one in the thumbnail, yes i sold xoris 🤡

"Warframe is no race" Yeah, tell that to my best friend. Dude joined in like a few months ago and went from MR1 to MR30.

I started playing warframe since 2013, we had no lore, no quests, no pets, no Sentinels, no open world locations, almost no bosses, warframe abilities was mods, for mods upgrade there were fusion cores, and most importantly - void was a place to farm prime parts. I'm still miss towers 🥺

About Warframe being not a race: I would argue it is not a sprint but a marathon. Many players just stop playing altogether because they "just wanted to take a break". Try do small things like get your daily bonus, open a relic or play a Steel Path Incursion. More than entirely burning out, I saw accounts die because of a "small break". So keep at it, but keep at it a slow pace.

one of the things that peeves me the most are bundles that don't reduce their platinum price if you already have one of the items.

Let me just point this out, your mistake is letting me pilot your railjack. Most players that find me piloting their railjack will get the Mandela Effect thinking they've seen certain areas but something seems VERY WRONG. Your sense of direction will immediately get turned on it's head when you realize I fly all those missions UPSIDE-DOWN, as direction in space is relative, and enemies are forced to fly in certain ways to attack and escape an upside-down railjack.

I remeber seeing MR 25s and thinking, "wow, those guys must be great at the game" Now I'm MR 26 and think, "wow I suck at this game"

something to consider, the broken war you get from the quest already has a catalyst installed, so dont use it as part of the actual completed war sword blueprint, youre better off farming a new broken war from shadow stalker.

The guy saying he sold his Xoris for a weapon slot really hurt my soul. That thing carried me through the star chart.

Me, a hoarder: selling my stuff ... ARE YOU INSANE? xD

My cousin dissolved his Primed Vigor. That's a permanent loss, since you can only get one of those.

I wasted all my plat on fireworks

I remember when I first played Warframe, I sold the broken war to make room For other weapons so I can get more mr. I got a friend that also played Warframe but he was a much higher mr then me. We got on the topic of what some great weapons are in Warframe. He mentioned the broken war. And my heart kinda broke a little bit

My worst mistake was selling something to some guy for plat and being new to trading. I wasn’t ripped off. Rather, I didn’t know wtf I was doing and essentially had him teach me how to open up the bartering screen and use it with him. Kudos to him wherever he is lol

“DONT SPEND YOUR STARTING PLAT!!” I bought fluffy bunny ears with my 50 starting plat (I started like 2 days ago lol)

With the starting 50 plat you should buy complete starter slot bundle which gives you 2x warframe 2x companion and 2x weapon slots. Whole bundle is 50 plat

"Don't use the 50 plat as a new player." Haha! Jokes on you! I already broke out the wallet!

About platinum usage, and I am saying this knowing it is the unpopular opinion: I have tried getting into Warframe more than a few times and every time I gave up because I could not find that "immersion" feeling into the starter frames, nor did found the motivation to grind one which I liked, which would have been the Nekros in my case. Long story short, I eventually bought one from the start (with a small purchase of platinum on discount) and guess what, I have more than 600 hours now in the game. I guess it is about a personal choice, but I do believe you can spend platinum in the beginning into whatever you desire, as long as it gets you that motivation to immerse yourself into the game. Other than that, a great video that will help newbies avoiding certain mistakes which are tempting to do indeed :)

"Now, this is not a problem for new players because you won't have access to rivens quite some hours into the game" Me: 160h into the game, don't know what a riven is

"A veteran with 1000 hours" Me over here with my 4000 hours like 😶

Oh no, I just accidentally sold one of my 9264 harrow chassis. So sad, now i've got to play a single mission to get it back. Damm this game is hard.

Misspending Nightwave hurt my soul in parts I didn't know existed 😭

eeeh... I don't think goofing off on an open world in your early game would particularly doom your account by any stretch.

10:32 never buy potatoes from nightwave, instead buy the aura mods to sell and then buy the potatoes from the market

I disagree with point 5, the open worlds thing. you should start leveling up the entrati standing as soon as possible, so you dont struggle to get the ores to craft a necramech when you need it. I was stunlocked for a whole week because of the daily standing limit. I could make 0 progress in the story for a whole week because the ores are locked so far in to the entrati.

Legendary rank 4 here: I would argue I do need a riven... so I can bring my MK-1 Braton into level 400+ Archimedea missions.

I saw the thumbnail and laughed at myself... I sold my xoris, and replaced it with the falcor. I was like MR13... I didn't replace until MR24 lmfao.

The thumbnail haunts me constantly

You absolutely can get through the new war quest with unranked unmodded necramech and railjack you just have to go all in on completing the railjack part as fast as you can and you can outpace the ship dying. The necramech part wasn't bad with no mods.

I bought bunny ears from the 50 plarinum

I sold the broken war by mistake. Thankfully i realized my mistake early and customer support was nice enough to return it to my inventory.

painful mistake was using 36 plat on revives when i started

I started the New War Quest with a rank 0 unmodded Railjack. I had no crew members and had to travel like thousand of metres, killing enemies and surviving this shit. I always died, again and again and thought about quitting the game because I was stuck in that mission for more than two weeks. With some luck I finally completed it even without any upgrades and it was painful besides the fact that my PC is really really bad and I had to play this Railjack mission with lags

Xoris < broken war < zaw The best weapon a fresh player could get is a zaw until it only needs reputation and ressources from eidolon plaines (with some help ofc)

I played new war with 1 level 0 mods necromech. Still won. You just need to turn off warframe mindset, and turn on dark souls one

Not sure if it was mentioned but DO NOT TURN BROKEN WAR INTO WAR UNTIL YOU HAVE A SECOND BROKEN WAR.

One of my pieces of advice is don't use your relics until you know what you're farming for. Relics can be hard to come by, especially vaulted relics. Only farm relics when you want a prime or forma. Saw a new player today opening them to open them, something I did early on and I'm kicking myself because a lot of those are vaulted. SAVE YOUR RELICS!!!!!

3:44 speaking from personal experience, this also includes crafting it into the complete war

buying mods for nightwave credits and selling them to other players is better value than going straight for the orokin catalysts

Years ago I had hate, despair, and dread, I was lucky enough to get a new hate blueprint but I want the despair incarnon so bad and stalker is a cruel beast

The fact your still saying broken war is the best sword in the game still tells me ur stuck in the past. Information not super realiable

bruh i remember starting the kuva lich way too early, i had to restart

Never even seen this channel but when I saw that thumbnail appear on my recommended it caused intense flashbacks of the freaking grind to get that goddamn circle back from Simaris. Congrats, your video has given me PTSD without me even seeing it.

"Cosmetics are not a good investment." Stopped watching right there, fashion frame is the most important investment in the game.

19:42 man I'm a returning Player and I did those railjack missions without anything just the base stuff and it took my hours and I'm actually surprised that I got through it , it was hell , but with all vids online telling you to complete these mission without warning you about the lvl is the dev mistake, they should have away to restart the mission or abandon it somehow after failing a certain times

If they didn't want me to sell xoris, it'd look cooler

nahhh use that 50 starting plat for a syandana, fashion is the real game after all

Sells Xoris early game Starts wanting to hunt sister liches Remembered that you sold xoris Agonize for a while Found out that you can re buy it from simaris Happy Its 145k standing You have none coz you accidentally bought too much charges Dies Love you DE

I sold my ivara prime to get more space for normal loki to this day its one of the things i regret the most :(

> veteran > 1000 hours My dude, I'm 3000 hours in and still don't know what's going on most of the time 😂

When im missing a couple hundred credits i just sell horrow chassis lol

Besides 04, the mistake that would Doom your account is actually watching this video, because if you would try to play LIKE THIS, you will Meta your fun away. You can play at least till 50 lvl enemys without MODS, and then you can get to lategame with ~10 000 endo. Platinum, at least was, easily tradable, with 10 plat per requiem mod, So 50 platinum are fine to lose, Losing a lot of endo on one ultra mod... Well its about 258k for fully upgraded usuall mod, so its actually relativly on the nose in price department. If you already getting PRIME damage somehow,then you are already past endgame damagewise, There is nothing that you cant refarm, and that will not be that hard, you can beat the game, just without oneshoting everyone.

Me: Played long time ago, before the "strong stalker" was a thing, leveled the Broken War, and after that, I sold it since I didn't really had an use for it, a bit later, surprise, new stalker, and blueprint for the war needs the broken war as material, good luck farming the blueprint for that one.

I'm a veteran player that has completed nearly everything this game has to offer and I still thoroughly enjoyed watching. And yes, I made every mistake listed, this an absolute gem of a video. One last mistake is picking Excalibur as my starting frame, since you get "you know who" later on. Volt is probably the best pick since he's useful for most scenarios including "you know what" hunts.

I spent more than 3k platinum.... On cats.... Now I have 28 cats....

i sold my umbra mods... because "oh its just the same as the normal ones but more expensive"

I like helping new players alot. I've added a few of these videos to my "Essential Warframe Guides" playlist, then link it to them. As a veteran player myself, I can give the info here a massive thumbs up.

i spent my first 75 plat on a color set but i still don't regret it, being able to look metal as fuck while brutalizing the Grineer on mars enhanced my experience to a worthwhile degree, i likely wouldn't have stuck with warframe otherwise, and here i am nowadays doing casual trading and making heat only pyro builds lol

Having not started The New War yet because I don't have a necramech, so glad I watched this vid

I sold my Xoris and contacted support to get it back, and to my surprise they actually gave it back.

Spent my first 50 plat on a roomba, oh wait that wasn't a mistake.

these aren't account dooming mistakes lmao. you can 100% play the game with friends and don't need to think of it as a solo game just because your forced to do most of the quests solo. also I will gladly hold onto my mountain of misc. prime parts since weapons and frames get vaulted when new primes drop. not to mention you need every weapon/ prime for mastery. don't just get rid of your prime parts unless you know you don't need them or already have them

Counterpoint yo the open world one: If you enjoy playing in the open world, play in the open world! As long as you know you're not really gonna get any progression done, and are okay with that, have no shame in just messing around in these massive maps doing just about whatever the hell you want

I can tell you de forgot about one weapon. The opticor vandal. You get it from the first time maxing the thermia fractures and simaris doesn't have its dupe.

The least destructive way to get credits is to sell Harrow chassis for 5k a piece.

I tell noobies that max ranking the Mods 2 last points is not a necessity but a luxury.

I think the thing that hurt my Warframe goals a lot..... is that I focused on story progression too much and when I actually started getting frames, I didn't have enough resources for some frames or other essential stuff (ciphers, launchers, etc.)

I really don't understand why DE can't make an ingame Auction house. Wow did it almost 20 years ago ... I just want to put my items in a box, forget about it and it will sell eventually. Not check another website, have to link up with a player, meet and physically trade an item. My biggest annoyance for long term play.

I sold the xoris and broken war in an act of desperation and stupidity.😔

About the broken war, i was devastated when it was gone. Come later to cross save and i connected my switch account to my pc account, and i got it back now. It's my primary weapon of choice.

It doesn't cost any slots to keep the frame or weapon in the foundry so you can build a lot's of stuff if you don't have slots get one by one out of a foundry level them up for mastery rank then sell them or feed frames to helmith.

Back in the day when the archwing quest first came out, i accidentally sold an odanata part so locked myself out of the quest. Thankfully after raising a ticket DE sorted it for me and put the item in my inventory

I sold Despair after mastering it, not realizing it was super rare...Haven't seen one since.

thanks! I am not a new player just I haven't played since like 2014-2015 and it has changed so much!

I was completely unaware you could get archon shards from netracells and kahl missions, I've only had new war finished for like two weeks so fortunately I ddin't miss much but that's huge, ty

I love the point you made about Warframe not being a race! My mistake was definitely not chilling out and grinding really hard trying to catch up with so much stuff 😅

Never sell your "prime junk" turn it into ducats and wait for baro to come. What I've found is that the max primed mods end up being more valuable.

As someone who hoards prime parts, its great for when baro rolls around and for giving people entire prime sets if I get a good vibe from new players

Use warframe market. Knew a guy who made an account, blew 3k cuz he wanted to be “overpowered”, got scammed over basic mods and lost 3k worth of platinum. Tried reporting the scammer for a week straight then lost his account.

Something I was surprised was NOT in this list, that was a HUGE pain in the ass for me, and was honestly just supremely unlucky- I sold all the non-Primed variants of Warframes that I DID have the Primes for, like a month before they announced the Helminth system. BOY DID THAT SUCK. I still haven't farmed up the all of the normal frames, because I only bother when I actually want to install the relevant ability... but damn. Hold onto those non-prime frames until you get the prime version, then SUBSUME, don't SELL.

doing the 3rd party thing I hated myself after I did that I got 2 warnings and I had to pay the plat back to my account to get it back. 2 times. one thing i would say is to never do that. 1 it ruins the player exeprince. 2 it just makes things more ez for the users to do. my advice to all you tenno out thare wait for a 25% or a 75%. to buy platnum

Goddamn Xoris. I sold it, saw that I needed it to farm protea, farmed it from Simaris, tried to farm protea, god not a single piece of her for like 3-4 days, got mad and just farmed platinum to buy her off the market lol

Pretty sure simaris sells all quest items

Spent my starting platinum on revives back in the day. Good times

Cliff notes of things NOT to do in Warframe: 0:38 *"Maxing mods early"* Don't use too much endo ranking high level mods up too much; only level them to 7 or 8 out of 10 2:14 Don't sell mods for credits ever. Instead disolve them for endo. Don't sell unique blueprints and weapons like "Xoris", "War", "Broken War", "Dread", "Hate", "Despair". MH says if you don't know, don't sell it. 4:04 *"Wasting starting plat"* Don't waste the 50 plat your account comes with on anything other than slots, reactors and catalysts. MH says don't get colors/cosmetics/rushing foundry items/anything at the Darvo deal 5:32 *"3rd party services"* Don't use 3rd party softwares for macros and such & don't share your account with ANYONE 6:33 *"Open worlds"* Don't spend much time on open worlds early in the game. if you do ensure you know WHY you are doing it, have a particular goal or reward in mind. MH recommends the Helminth Segment from Deimos, Bond mods from Cetus and set mos from Cetus 8:11 *"Warframe is not a race"* don't feel bad about not having something unlocked yet. MH recommends playing solo and at your own pace; just have fun with the game and not worry about all the systems in the game all at once and early on. 9:18 *"Misusing Nightwave Cred"* MH recommends only getting nitain extract, reactors/catalysts and aura mods. 10:56 *"Catalysts wasted"* catalysts are often difficult to get early on so don't use them on junk weapons, only good weapons 12:15 *"Bad market deals"* don't buy resources or credits from the in-game market. don't use in-game trade chat with other players as a newer player. use warframe.market website instead which acts as an auction house of the game. 14:01 *"Buying rivens"* don't spend a lot of plat on rivens. MH recommends focusing on arcanes or other things instead 15:14 *"Solo Relics"* Don't run relics solo run them public instead as you have a guarantee to get other options as rewards. 16:14 *"You can build teams"* If you want a certain reward from a certain relic you can go to the in-game recruiting chat and look for a someone saying something like _"H [Axi L1] radshare 2/4"_ | _"H"_ = hosting , _"[Axi L1]"_ = the relic they are running , _"radshare"_ or _"rad"_ = running specifically radiant relics , _"2/4"_ = 2 out of 4 squad slots are currently taken up | 16:30 *"Keeping prime junk"* MH recommends against what most players do which is keep a prime part/blueprint for a long time and not use them when you could sell those parts/blueprints instead and buy helpful things like slots or catalysts/reactors. "Look at what you got, think 'do I really need this anytime soon?', if you don't and they make a good buck on Warframe.market then sell them and get those important power boosting items." 18:07 *"Quest locked!"* Don't go into a specific quests that lock you from going back into the main part of the game without being properly geared up. These quests are "The War Within" this one is less of an issue. "The New War" is much more problematic with this, if you have a low power Necramech or Railjack you can softlock your account by not being able to finish the quest you are stuck in due to being too weak on the parts of those quests. For railjack MH recommends getting level 3 guns and getting 2 crew mates 20:05 *"Archon shards"* get archon shards as often as you can as they are becoming more relevant for current builds and for the future of the game. They can be obtained from weekly Archon hunts (after "The New War" quest), from Chipper at Kahl's Garrison in the drifter's camp on Earth (after "Veilbreaker" quest), and Netracells (after "Whispers in the Walls" quest)

I Sold My Achwing Part after crafting it. I couldn't redo the excavation mission again and I just couldn't progress the main story for two years until one day I get a piece of mail with my part I was Like no way.

Selling some weapons that were used in other weapon blueprints.

Giving my Zarr riven to my son, before it became my main weapon for 2 years. I unveiled a Nataruk riven later and held into like Gollum with his precious 😊

One other thing I'll say is that you should NEVER spend plat on warframes through the in game market, with very few exceptions. You can buy several prime frame sets for the price of one normal frame. I do a lot of trading, and recently got a Mesa Prime set for 80P, a Saryn Prime set for 90P, and a Mirage Prime set for 65P. That's less than the price of one frame through the market. The default market is a scam. Don't do it.

The biggest mistake for me was "not scanning kavats" (for genetic codes) in Inaros quest. There were A LOT of them there and you can't replay the quest.

Additional note on opening relics: You might have something someone else is looking for. And every time someone else choosed your relic item, you get some extra void traces from the end of mission results. Some squads, if no one is getting what everyone's looking for, will all select someone else's relic, so that each person in the squad is getting the end of mission bonuses. Or, if you mention in squad chat that you're low on void traces, a few kind squad mates might choose your stuff to help you out. While it won't wreck your account, as you can do so any time, you might be face palming if you don't so so fairly early on: Join a good clan. You can get some good advice, people who may trade stuff to you for non-plat stuff (especially good for trading relics, prime bps, mods), and people that you can pre-form squads with. Plus, access to all the stuff that needs a clan dojo to obtain and craft. This could save you tons of plat and frustration. The clan I belong to has their own discord server, so it's even easier to communicate and share info, plan for trades/events, and generally get to know other players better.

I spend my 50 start plat on bunny ears and I don’t regret it😂😅

I returned to warframe after almost 10 years, and it's so horribly overwhelming now. Do you have guides for returning veterans on how to get back into the game?

This is coming from someone who has thousands of hours in warframe: None of these will doom your account, play the game the way you want to, but also just have common sense. Like Make sure you know your market prices before you buy things. Just dont let this guy tell you "OH if you SELL YOUR MODS FOR CREDITS INSTEAD OF ENDO YOUR ACCOUNT IS DOOMED" While yes its better in the long run, you will be completely fine. My advice to you is to just play the game how you please. Theres so many different builds and ways to kill people please experiment as much as possible. If you follow this guide you will never have fun, apparently any wrong step (Most of the points arent even close to wrong steps btw) according to this guy and your account is useless.
