Hello and welcome back to my blog!
There are a lot of things to do in Warframe. The Orbiter (or the Starship), which is like a home to us, has many hidden secrets. There are many sections which need to be unlocked manually. Right from the start, you install a segment to unlock the Mod and a foundry Section to unlock the Personal Quarter of the Operator.
The latest installement in this list is the 'Helminth' room. This kind of entity is responsible for the biological functions of the warframe. There is a big, gross mouth in which you can digest anything you give.
Let me tell you something about these Warframes (or simply Frames). These Frames are some high-tech suits controlled by the orbiter and they possess unique abilities. There are over 50 Warframes each with unique playstyle and abilities. But what if you want to use two different abilities from two separate Warframes? That's exactly when this Helminth comes to help. You can infuse a new ability into your Warframe but you have to sacrifice one of the four base abilities.
Also, to get an ability from another Warframe, this Helminth has to Subsume (eat) it. That was the exact reason I collected another copy of my Rhino. I wanted one of his abilities in another Warframe. This ability is called Roar and it increases the damage of both the Warframe and the allies within proximity. So, it helps a lot, especially in the squad.
But it had to be fed a lot of things before I could subsume a warframe. Subsuming a Warframe would just delete it from the inventory. I fed this thing, a lot of random junk and it didn't complain at all. But it took a lot of resources.
Now, I can see why it doesn't say Consume but Subsume. The cutscene showed it getting absorbed by the Helminth.
After Subsuming it I could now 'Infuse' the Roar ability to my favorite Warframe in the game. Zephyr has some good abilities but her second ability is not used that often by me and I am thinking of replacing that with Roar so its damage will be increased.
I wanted to 'infuse' that ability right away but looks like I have to wait a bit. I can wait for a day, no big deal.
This system to subsume a warframe and infuse its ability into another Frame is quite a genius move. This alone gives a lot of unique build opportunities and some abilities synergy with others well too.
Just opposite this room is the 'Personal Quarters' which you unlock by doing a quest too. This is a small room to display your trophies. It has an aquarium (mine is still empty though, I need to catch more fish and not cut them up for parts...lol).
There is a Somachord device and a music player. But the tracks need to be found which are spread across the system and have to be scanned from the Codex or Synthesis Scanner. I am close to unlocking two tunes, just need one more fragment for each of them.
I have been collecting a lot of stuff lately, specifically some Prime Parts so I can make more Prime weapons and Warframe in the game.
You need to farm Void relics which contain these Prime Parts. Each Prime Warframe or Weapon needs separate parts (3 or 4 usually). These parts need to be collected by opening these Relics which gives a reward from a set of items after a successful Fissure mission.
Also, these are good sources of earning Platinum, the premium currency of the game. I have been grinding a lot lately to get these prime parts. I plan to sell the extra parts for Premium.
Of course, some are rarer than others and completed sets sell for higher prices too. So, I might wait and try to collect enough so I can sell sets, not individual items.
In any case, there is still a lot to be done. Still, many side quests remain. There is no Mastery Rank update to report for today. I am still at the early MR 15 level and am not pushing too hard to get to the next level.
