Dante: No Grind? (dormi.zone)
submitted 7 months ago by Halasham@dormi.zone to c/warframe@dormi.zone

Am I lucky for once in my life or is Dante a really eazy grind? I just got half of Dante and ~130 pity points in one run then finished off the pps on a single C rotation. So with less than an hour of work I've got the new frame under construction.

Seems like they're experimenting with acquisition this time around. After the slog that is Protea, Citrine etc, I'm all for it.

Hopefully they stick with this, or figure out more interesting ways of making acquisition feel more meaningful.

At least the game mode (Disruption) is actually pretty fun and a very decent arcane grind to boot.

Best small update in a long time, imo.

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 3 points 7 months ago

I agree however I have noticed that Disruption is a very tile-dependand gamemode, or at least use to be (I think they've made QoL changes to it with Dante). Disruption of the Kuva Fortress is a PITA.

The demolisher necramechs not disabling abilities like the normal disruption enemies made it so painless, as a Valkyr main who needs to stay in hysteria forever. Plus the game mode is so fast anyway, versus any of the game modes that basically force you into sitting on your butt for 5 minutes at a time. I got my Dante crafting and both weapons already picked up, though I guess at some point I should go back for more capillaries so I can get the captura scenes for sale too.

I hate the normal disruption demolisher nullifier pulses, that alone made me hate the game mode.

Wow. I've seen zero blueprints so far. I'll soon have enough capillaries to just buy them, so that's nice

[-] Kaldo@dormi.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Yep, it's been really painless! I even got all other weapons after a few hours of grinding (onos and ruvox). As a thanks to DE I then spent 50 plat to rush the foundry which I usually never do😁

[-] Grunslik@dormi.zone 4 points 7 months ago

It took me less than an hour as well. I did the Steel Path version, and got one main Dante bp and more than enough pity points to buy the rest. In fact, I got pretty far into building all of the new stuff. I bought the hand cannon bp and two or three of the pieces of the melee as well. It's really quite painless, comparatively.

[-] 0x0@social.rocketsfall.net 3 points 7 months ago

All parts in 1hr15m-ish. Got 3 of the parts right in a row and bought the missing one after.

The Lanthorns are the tricky bit

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

Doing netracells has only topped off my already useless pile of lanthorns.

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

How difficult are netracells? I haven't tried them yet but I keep meaning to. On a scale of "easy" to "find a four man and everyone has to sweat" where's it at?

[-] Mesa@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's designed for a full squad, but you can solo it if you bring the right build.

TL;DR: Don't expect to run solo if you don't have a maxed Unairu/Madurai tree, fully unlocked Waybound focus skills, and a high DPS tank build.

Difficulty doesn't scale down if you run it solo, you have no revives, and progression relies on kills; so you can't exactly AFK it, but running solo isn't impossible.

It won't be hard to queue into a full squad, but running it solo is, on average, faster for me because I don't have to worry about squad mates screwing around and doing everything else but the Netracell.

I usually bring Grendel and I have a pretty high success rate in solo. Meatball is the perfect mix of speed, tank, and sustainability for quickly finding the Netracell and being able to ward off the enemies. If I fail, it's usually because there was a perfect storm of being bombarded by eximus units, a rogue Voidrig taking me out, and then there not being enough standard enemies to get the requisite kills in Last Gasp.

[-] SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Cool. Sounds like I should be able to carry my own weight then. I didn't really want to solo it, I just didn't wanna be that guy in pubs that drags the whole team down.

Maybe I work towards soloing them, though, it sounds fun.

Thanks for the helpful response!

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 3 points 7 months ago

I ground out enough Focus for Unbinding all Way-Bound Operator/Drifter abilities via killing Thrax in the Zariman. I've got a decent little supply of them off doing it. :)

[-] exocrinous@startrek.website 3 points 7 months ago

Do Thrax drop lanthorns at a higher rate than regular enemies?

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 2 points 7 months ago

I don't think so but it was still like a week and a half of grinding, mowing down everything not just Thrax.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Got 2/3 prints in one disruption. Before that I was considering plonking 750 plat down for the set.

[-] Keekles@dormi.zone 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Your experience is the complete opposite of mine. I farmed out the pity points for both weapons, and 2 copies of dante before I had a set of dante bps dropped.
