I’m fairly new to Warframe, only MR 6 with a few weapons maxed (and sold) and just now making Rhino as my first new frame. I have been working through the star chart and completing quests as I got them.
In my adventures I have encountered some opportunities to grind for certain things. Reputations with the syndicates, rewards from Fortuna or the the happy family in Deimos, or that frame you can buy from Duviri wyrm kills etcetera. But how do I know what is worth going for?
I don’t necessarily want to rush to end game ASAP, but I also don’t want to spend time grinding for something that I would very quickly replace anyway
Anything passive is an instant yes. Just because… why not?
Syndicates, for example. There’s pretty much no reason to not choose a syndicate and rank them- and their ally- up.
If you’re intending to do all the main quests, eventually you’ll either need Entrati and Cetus standing unless you buy a Necramech either via market or player trading. You’ll also want Quill standing- which you may or may not even have unlocked depending on the quests you’ve done- though it’s not really necessary until you’re pretty much endgame. It’ll make life a lot easier long before that.
