I was making good progress in the main storyline of Warframe until I was restricted from starting the next quest called "The New War". This was because the game wanted me to have a "Necramech". These are bipedal machines which you encounter in Demios. "Father" gave me a blueprint for one back when I was in Demios doing missions but the resources needed for it to be built were too many so I never farmed those resources from the open world.

But now to progress in the story, I had to go back to Demios' open world and mine many resources.

---

As I said, "Father" gave me the blueprint for Voidrig and this thing required four separate parts to build, each of those parts requiring further resources and some of those resources requiring additional resources. I knew this was a big grind. But how could I stop? I had to collect all the stuff and build this machine.

---

It involved hours and hours of mining in the caves of Cambian Drift, the open-world section of Demios. Mining is mostly RNG and there was no guarantee of dropping minerals which I needed. One of them was so rare that it took me hundreds of veins before dropping a good amount of it.

---

I fished too when I got bored and went back to mining. But not all resources be gained from mining alone. I had to do some bounties as well. Fortunately, there were always people online who would help me with the Isolation Vault bounties and other missions. You can get rewarded handsomely for those missions.

I would switch to normal star chart missions when those mining sessions become boring. I killed a sentinel beast called Ropalolyst with my weak amp gun. It took almost half an hour...lol.

---

Apart from doing those star chart missions, I have been completing some side quests as well. There are still a lot of them left, especially the ones under the 'warframe' category.

I have been stalling the Limbo Theorem Quest for a long time. But yesterday I completed it.

---

It was quite repetitive, go on a planet and do an Excavation mission, find a new part and build it in the Foundry. Repeat for the other parts until you have all of them.

I have also been grinding for some resources in Open World to level up my rank with the syndicates. There are a lot of them in this game, each having a lot of useful items including rare mods, weapons, warframe blueprints and relic packs.

---

I am trying to collect more Eidolon Shards to rank up for the Quills. These shards are dropped by Eidolon who spawns only at night in The Plains of Eidolon.

I have hunted some with a squad but my weapons are not too strong. Thankfully, you can hunt them in public lobbies and they drop some shards.

Another interesting weekly event is the Ayatan Treasure Hunt from Maroo. She tells us the location of an Ayatan Treasure every week, these missions are not hard and give you the treasure which you can sell for a rare resource, Endo. These Endo are used to upgrade your mods which increases their stats.

I run these missions with Volt because he is fast and these missions are timed base.

---

I am still MR 10 and got very close to the next Mastery Rank. I have slowed down the buying of weapons and ranking them up to gain more mastery rank. I was getting short on Credits and resources. But now I have a lot more and I should go more aggressively on getting those mastery points.

Thanks for reading.
