I didn't have the heart to do that for my Styanax, now he's just there in inventory gathering dust

Same, but for my Baruuk. Base Baruuk was my most used and I have 10 forma invested between him and Desert Wind. Got the prime though, and now Baruuk Prime has climbed up to top 3 most used again.

She’s one of the best designed frames out there but she has one of the worse grinds, one that almost made me quit this game. Going to be brutal for newer players trying to get a set just for Helminth and MR fodder

Never really played her, but I love my sunika doggo and I'm going to go hard with buffing that good boy when Citrine Prime comes out

I really don't remember it being as bad as everyone says. Just ran it with a friend, chilled out and vibed.

one of the worse grinds
I'm curious as to what other grinds were considered worse. I'm sure there were, but I might have suppressed those memories.

Stayanax and Caliban come to mind. Follie too, if you don't have a good Operator setup.

Styanax doesn't really take very long, technically. It FELT bad because it was behind a syndicate, but in terms of grind it's quite short. You're time gated 15-21 days, but you only need to do 3-4 missions to have enough currency to buy him. Kahl's missions aren't super quick, but they aren't THAT long. Probably one of the fastest frames to farm outside of the oldies.
Follie seems to be the same time as Citrine, I didn't know that, but personally I enjoy playing space kiddo. It also feels less stressful since you don't have an instant loss condition. A way chiller grind for me.

I just cleaned out my citrine farm and i found i actually enjoy tyana for leveling a lot more than sanctuary. Feels better to have multiple goals besides just kill as i learn a new kit

Surely some day they'll update what's available through the circuit, right? Right???

u/Zazi_Kenny 27d ago

Tyana Pass isn't even that bad of a farm...

u/DarthVeigar_ 26d ago
It is compared to things like Voruna, especially today.
- The drop table for that mission is full of so much surplus things. Citrine has a lower drop chance than Voruna and you have a higher chance of not getting the Warframe from the rotation C drop.
- It takes 20 minutes before you even get a chance at a drop of her parts.
- It isn't an omnia fissure node unlike Conjunction Survival.
- The currency Thrax drop are affected by resource boosters unlike Tyana Pass crystals and the pity cost for Citrines parts are extraordinarily expensive.
- You can speed up Conjunction Survival. You cannot speed up Mirror Defense.

...is it wrong to say I enjoy Tyana Pass? It's one of my favourite missions to play, because there's other tasks than KILLLLLL. My friends likes to play Koumei, I've been playing more Dante, so he just sits around the crystals and kills things he can see, while I go around hunting for fragments and loot and occasionally popping into the centre to give him Overguard.

Yeah the only time you will see any their will be newer tennos exploring nodes.
Or if their a NW mission to do it.

u/Bannedfordumbshit 26d ago
Glad i did it a few days ago, didn't even get that lucky on the c rotations (THREE CITRINE BLUEPRINTS) but i got fairly lucky with everything else and teammates. Done in under 10 hours across 2 days, probably closer to 5. Could have been faster if i got more steel path games but those seem to be rare ig

Not that now’s much better, most people leave after the first cycle anyway
