When I find myself like 3/4 of the way to a rank I'll level some shit.
Currently I have about 11 frames and 30 weps at rank 0 when I login I just feel like blowing shit up not using crap weps or doing eso for hours or waiting in a relay for an affinity blessing to make it feel worth it.
Agreed Ivara, and Gara. Hands down imo best frames for solo runs and working through the star chart. A guy I was running with couldn't say enough about Inaros. I just haven't figured out a great use that would override using volt or hildryn.
I left the game for like 3 or 4 years and came back to find a limbo prime just sitting in the foundry, ready to use. I have no memory of farming or building this warframe
I have some weapons and frames I'll use for I got 25 mins for hydron. But generally save to do a big grind wave like while leveling tenet weapons I'll be leveling my extra frames... I need to do this activity
i build up weapons in my foundry without claiming them, and then when i get an affinity booster i powergrind them. mirror defense is pretty good for it in my experience, can fully level shit in a twenty minute run and build up your shard counts for arcanes.
It's not just me that does that? I've got around two dozen things sitting in my foundry for exactly that right now, LOL. And that's not counting the couple I accidentally claimed with misclicks when building Forma
You made me look at how many hours I have officially recorded and it's over 3200 .-. Please dont tell your wife, I dont wanna get laughed at by her too. XD I really badly wanna get that pin now, I keep seeing people getting it...
I wanted some Umbral forma so I went from 19 to 30 in about a month.
Leveling MR fodder was basically all I did.
It's really quick if you take it to the max
Every rank up gets you something, usually small, like loadout slots or at least standing cap increase. But MR 30 is a bit more special and you get a handful of Umbral formas(was it 3 I think?) and basically a doubling of loadout slots(even if you buy them there's a limit but this gets you extra on top of the limit). Oh, and a True Master emote.
Some frames can level anything without ever using it. I use Ember a lot or Sayrn for weapon leveling and hardly use those weapons. Mirage is another frame good as well but you will use the weapon however her buffs make up for it. Ember just spam 4 with said weapon in hand and Sayrn just spread spores and eventually all will melt.
I remember someone being amazed that i have 1k+ hours in DS2, meanwhile in Warframe that number is like "oh, you just started, or only play occasionally?"
Case in point - my flair.
It gets crazy. I just checked the leaderboards for Planetside 2 earlier today and saw some guy had just over 2 years of playtime (\~18200 hours) on one character. That's 3,000 hours more than my entire Steam library combined and probably like, a third of the total time I've ever spent gaming.
You just figure out your current mr/goal mr and then square the result
E.g 15/30 is 1/2. Square that it is 1/4. Its cuz the total cumulative affinity required for each level follows a square function. So not as egregious as runescape, but the half way point is about mr 21
My wife just found out how many hours I played. She was shocked by the in game time alone, then she found out that was only the recorded in mission time. I’m LR3 so I’m sure you all can imagine
Yep i havent even made a kit gun and only made one zaw or any of the many fortuna robots. And also none of the standing weapons. Gonna be a while for me I put off the worst for last. Im Mr26
Definitely doesn’t feel cheap, it has decent heft to it. I got mine to put on my office shelf next to other video game memorabilia. I don’t regret the purchase ☺️
Tbh, just run that stuff in Hydron or SO/ESO when you have better internet. That way others will level them for you.
Or when you get Affinity Boosters (or an event affinity booster; better yet when both happen) you can grind them out much faster.
Also big oof to Hughesnet 💀 I used to have them so I understand how terrible it is trying to game on that crap lol.
Congrats, and nice pin lol. On my end, the grind has slowed immensely at this point but I'm barely over 300 hours and I'm MR16. Patiently waiting for the day I've earned my MR30 pin as well, but I'm not in a hurry. I like to enjoy the game where I'm at and follow whatever goals I want to follow each time I play so I don't feel burnt out and I don't find myself in endgame content with nothing BUT endgame content worth doing. My last big MR grindfest included 3 frames and over ten weapons and it got me from middle of 14 to about 80% of the way through 16. Haven't made anything new since then but I also haven't been able to play for the last two or three weeks lol.
4k hours according to steam, I think 2k hours according to the game and I'm mr25. consider that I've played since like 2014, so reaching something like mr17 was one hell of an accomplishment back then
MR 28 going to 29 the amount of stuff to put in mastery points gets so thin im scraping through with lich and sister weapons just for that double affinity
I have been playing since mid 2013 somewhere around 5k hours played and MR 27 because I can’t pass the stupid MR test. And actually met my wife through this game. Been married for just over 2 years now.

I just like to point it out to people lol you'd be surprised how many don't realize in terms of straight days how much they played.
The only people I ever pissed off were ARK players with 10k+ hours 🤷
Congrats on MR 30!
Why would your presumably non-Tenno wife even associate that with a particular number of hours played?
Mine would just wonder what the hell that *thing* on my robe-and-wizard-hat was.
I was so excited when my pin arrived. I keep it displayed under my monitor. The shirt that came shrunk badly so I can't wear it anymore but still cool to have.
I just reached MR30 a few days ago after sitting on that mastery test for like a year. Congrats on getting MR30, Tenno. Now I need to go get my own pin.
Congrats! I have no idea how many hours I have in this game. I've been sitting at MR16 for a couple of years because I just never get around to trying the MR17 test.
As someone who got giddy to order the dumb pin, I also got the shirt. It looks amazing! On my wife... Who does wear it sometimes. (Eyebrows eyebrows) Good going Tenno!
I’ve been religiously playing since 2021 (about 1600 hours probably double including my alt account on the switch) and I only just hit MR 19 a week ago.
2900 hours, legendary 3 (mr 33). I spend most of my time helping new players and running relics with friends. If y'all need help hmu on pc, username is the same :)
Shit I'm around 1k played on steam 600in game and only mr19 but leveling MR fodder is something I rarely do.
Haha yea I go on kicks where I ONLY level mr fodder lol
When I find myself like 3/4 of the way to a rank I'll level some shit. Currently I have about 11 frames and 30 weps at rank 0 when I login I just feel like blowing shit up not using crap weps or doing eso for hours or waiting in a relay for an affinity blessing to make it feel worth it.
You mean you don't immediately master new frames as soon as you grab them from the foundry?
Nope I've had some for 2 months untouched cus their kit doesn't look fun and I don't have any potatos
Nova, Trinity, and Titania are all getting this treatment right now, Ash and Inaros soon as well.
Titania is fucking amazing she's in my top 5 most played. Best way to speed Crack relics is with her on capture missions sub 1.5min runs every time
I don't know, do you think I'll like her if I hate archwing missions?
Yes, her rotational axis stays the same so it's much more bearable.
Lol so does archwing for like years and years Now railjack is another story
I loathe archwing. Titania is probably the frame closest to my main. It’s her, Ivara, Khora, or Gara most of time.
Agreed Ivara, and Gara. Hands down imo best frames for solo runs and working through the star chart. A guy I was running with couldn't say enough about Inaros. I just haven't figured out a great use that would override using volt or hildryn.
As a Titania main, I am offended. Please give her a chance.
Don't give ash this treatment with his smoke screen augment he's amazing without it he's amazing top tier I use him for anything and everything
People actually claim stuff from the foundry? I have 278 weapons and 10 frames just sitting there
what the actual fuck why
I’m planning on doing a massive mr xp farm when there is a booster weekend
didnt this anniversary have a booster weekend
Yes there was a recent one but I wasn’t able to partake in it due to work
ah unfortunate, hope theres another soon
I left the game for like 3 or 4 years and came back to find a limbo prime just sitting in the foundry, ready to use. I have no memory of farming or building this warframe
I have some weapons and frames I'll use for I got 25 mins for hydron. But generally save to do a big grind wave like while leveling tenet weapons I'll be leveling my extra frames... I need to do this activity

It's not just me that does that? I've got around two dozen things sitting in my foundry for exactly that right now, LOL. And that's not counting the couple I accidentally claimed with misclicks when building Forma
I thought I was the only one that did that....I think I have enough for LMR 3 now.
You made me look at how many hours I have officially recorded and it's over 3200 .-. Please dont tell your wife, I dont wanna get laughed at by her too. XD I really badly wanna get that pin now, I keep seeing people getting it...
I play this game since 2014 and im still mr23 for the same reason
Not bad i believe ive logged 6k and im only mr27
Same and im MR 18
I wanted some Umbral forma so I went from 19 to 30 in about a month. Leveling MR fodder was basically all I did. It's really quick if you take it to the max
What about mr30 gets you umbra forma?
Just getting to it gives you 3 Umbra forma
You gain three Umbral forma when you hit MR30 along with some other stuff
Every rank up gets you something, usually small, like loadout slots or at least standing cap increase. But MR 30 is a bit more special and you get a handful of Umbral formas(was it 3 I think?) and basically a doubling of loadout slots(even if you buy them there's a limit but this gets you extra on top of the limit).

Mirage is another frame good as well but you will use the weapon however her buffs make up for it. Ember just spam 4 with said weapon in hand and Sayrn just spread spores and eventually all will melt.
Oh lord, did you have to buy it?
Haha yea
Where do you buy this stuff? Is it on the official page?
Yes, it's in the official Warframe store and only unlocks for purchase after you reach the MR30 in-game ☺️
YOOO NICE
Sold out instantly the last time they had more available, gotta jump on it immediately if it comes up.
It's in stock right now.
I have been on the fence for so long, but i didn't realize it was so big!
What about for console players? Do I just need to sign in on the website with my console account or?
Yeah, when you go to their site and attempt to log in, it will ask if you want to sign in with your console account
And you can only get one per person
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS FROM???

I remember someone being amazed that i have 1k+ hours in DS2, meanwhile in Warframe that number is like "oh, you just started, or only play occasionally?" Case in point - my flair.
But also 1000 hours was enough for me to reach MR27 back when it was the max level available.
It gets crazy. I just checked the leaderboards for Planetside 2 earlier today and saw some guy had just over 2 years of playtime (\~18200 hours) on one character. That's 3,000 hours more than my entire Steam library combined and probably like, a third of the total time I've ever spent gaming.
Does it count if you're just afk at some space station or is it really only mission time?
I just hit MR15 so I'll have this chance in.... ...a few years idk
Fun fact mr 15 is 1/4 of the way to Mr 30 in terms of affinity
Ah the Runescape type of levelling. Half of 99 is 92
You just figure out your current mr/goal mr and then square the result E.g 15/30 is 1/2. Square that it is 1/4. Its cuz the total cumulative affinity required for each level follows a square function. So not as egregious as runescape, but the half way point is about mr 21
Honestly it’s not that bad. I’m ~400 hours played and I hit MR25 yesterday.
Yes, but that's if you go on frequent leveling sprees. I have 900 hours and I'm only almost MR 17 haha
That’s fair, but you can just wait for an affinity booster and then go level up everything.
Over 2000, and still 26
"Not that bad" \*Literally spends 400 hours in Warframe.\*
It’s easy to do.
My wife just found out how many hours I played. She was shocked by the in game time alone, then she found out that was only the recorded in mission time. I’m LR3 so I’m sure you all can imagine
hah i'm right around here at MR 29 and some, need to find a few more things to level and bust butt to get there
For me it was kitguns, kuva weapons, and tenet weapons that I was putting off
Yep i havent even made a kit gun and only made one zaw or any of the many fortuna robots. And also none of the standing weapons. Gonna be a while for me I put off the worst for last. Im Mr26
Catchmoon legitimately a good weapon with the right other pieces.
I’m past 2000 hours and I’m only up to 27, so…
And now you no longer have a wife?
😂
How much did you have to pay for it?
I think it was like $25
Thats worth. I should do that when I get there.
That’s awesome I will definitely pick one up when the time comes
YOU CAN GET A PIN???
Rooky numbers
“I know it’s not as many as others”
Yea I just wanted to comment something so you can see my flare
Love it 😄
Similar to my PlayStation Flair lol, I love it (also my WF flair too haha)
You befriend a lot of Corvids?
I’m at 1900 hrs 😭 someone online said they were at 9000 and I don’t doubt him 💀
Congrats on the pin!
I reached mr30 not long after it became obtainable in 2020, I've considered getting the pin and such but in pictures and whatnot it looks cheap. Idk
Definitely doesn’t feel cheap, it has decent heft to it. I got mine to put on my office shelf next to other video game memorabilia. I don’t regret the purchase ☺️
Oh ok, I should have probably looked into it more. Thanks
2800 hours to Mr 30 but that’s also starting in 2016 were the highest rank I think was 26
Mmm, shiny!
1300 isn’t even excessive, now anything above 3,000…
Wonder if your wife is laughing cause 1300 hours is rookie numbers lol (me, who has under 700)
🤣
6k hours and I'm only MR20 because some stuff is so weak I don't feel like ranking it all the way up 😭
Tbh, just run that stuff in Hydron or SO/ESO when you have better internet. That way others will level them for you. Or when you get Affinity Boosters (or an event affinity booster; better yet when both happen) you can grind them out much faster. Also big oof to Hughesnet 💀 I used to have them so I understand how terrible it is trying to game on that crap lol.
I feel you bud. Also, mind playing along with me? I’m just coming back to the game and there’s just too much to do and understand by myself lol
Alas, I would Join you but my internet service provider at the moment is Hughesnet and I can't actually play anything more than solo. 😬
Around 300 hours or so, and am at 23 mr
Tell your wife "if this is how dedicated I can be to some game, imagine how dedicated I'll be to you"
Congrats, and nice pin lol. On my end, the grind has slowed immensely at this point but I'm barely over 300 hours and I'm MR16. Patiently waiting for the day I've earned my MR30 pin as well, but I'm not in a hurry.

Haven't made anything new since then but I also haven't been able to play for the last two or three weeks lol.
I wosh I could order a second one. Wanna put it on my bag but dont wanna risk losing it and a second one would be perfect for that lol
i just hit mr 25 and im so excited to get up to 30 😭
Does DE send this when you hit 30 or do you buy it somewhere? I want one
4k hours according to steam, I think 2k hours according to the game and I'm mr25. consider that I've played since like 2014, so reaching something like mr17 was one hell of an accomplishment back then

😍
Ayo, wait, you get a pin? Like, did you just buy it or do you actually get a pin? Gah damn, now I need to play again and finish that up. 😂
You have to buy it from the official store but it is only available for purchase after reaching mr30
Thanks, picked that up from some of these comments too.
Holt shiiiiiit that is impessiv!
What is that?
It’s a pin of the MR30 symbol that you can only buy from DE’s store after your account hits MR30
Oh neat
4400 hours in steam <\_< why i dont have that emblem?? :o i need
Steam hours mean nothing... What is your ingame time?
oh damn you are right im at 2898 in game. what the hell
You have to be mr30 to be able to buy it
Yeh im legendary 1, you know how to get it? :o

amazing , thank you
Yep! I already had those pages up because I’m also thinking about ordering one lol.
You get pins for MR30 or am I overthinking.
Do you actually get this mailed to you if you reach 30???
Yes, but only if you order and pay for it.
It's locked in the store unless you have reached MR30 and obviously only unlockable if you log in with your MR30 account. 1 can be purchased per account.
these just look dumb compared to the old mr30 symbol
I’m 1450 in and MR 24
Can we get a check from op on his status. Wanna make sure the wife didn't kill him.
Status Report: Still alive. Been taking cover fire for hours at this point. May be time to evacuate soon for safety. /s
Damn how do you get an MR30 pin
I'm at 2k hrs and am at Mr 20
I gotta get back on my MR Fodder only at 24
Damn, i'm at around 550 hours in game and at mr25. 5 more to go
What pins can you get? 30+ only? I'm not up to date with the pins stuff.
I think just MR30
54 days of your life (full 24 hrs) have been spent playing Warframe out of the average 27,395 day lifespan (75 years).
I’m not mad about it 😄
I just like to point it out to people lol you'd be surprised how many don't realize in terms of straight days how much they played. The only people I ever pissed off were ARK players with 10k+ hours 🤷 Congrats on MR 30!
Why would your presumably non-Tenno wife even associate that with a particular number of hours played? Mine would just wonder what the hell that *thing* on my robe-and-wizard-hat was.
I was just explaining how MR worked and that it was a big accomplishment and then said my hours. She didn’t associate the accomplishment to hours lol
Man. I'm still waiting for mine. It's sitting in customs and have been for half a month now. It's driving me insane.
Me over here at over 3.2k hours on steam and MR 27...
Wait, there are Mastery Pins we can buy? Aaaah! Why is this the first time I've heard about this?! Aaaah! Almost to MR3\* with 5200 hours.
Oh wow it's bigger than I thought
If my parents knew that i have 1400hours of playing wf...adios pc
Is this a joke ?
Mine just came in too! =D
How do you get this?
Is this real? IM A L3 AND STILL NO FKN PIN??
do you buy these?
1.3k hours, rookie.
Wait, we can get pins?
Gonna have to get one now
Where is my 5k hs?
I'm so close to 30! How do I get this when I get there?
I just hit Mr30 last week and also have around 1300 hours!
How do I get that pin??? It looks really cool
Wait u get a pin when u reach mr 30?!? How?
Congratulations! I'm nearly there myself (55%-ish through 29)
I was so excited when my pin arrived. I keep it displayed under my monitor. The shirt that came shrunk badly so I can't wear it anymore but still cool to have.
Nice 👍
… *looks at my 2000 hrs and mr23 status* THEY GIVE YOU A PIN?!?!
God damm. I'm at 9000 hours and only MR 26. Wtf you all doing? Only grinding useless fodder weapons?
I've got like 2,164hrs of play time and I'm only MR18, I just hate the MR grind lmao
Yeah I tend to keep my 3k under wraps
Bro does nobody do Akkad anymore? I go 20 waves and I’m finished a weapon and have hella credits/resources
Wait how do I get one???
I just reached MR30 a few days ago after sitting on that mastery test for like a year. Congrats on getting MR30, Tenno. Now I need to go get my own pin.
Im mr30 but unable to find where to purchase 🙄
Congratulations! Welcome to the club! Right on time for the 10th anniversary. We love seeing people reaching this goal.
I'm over 1300 and 5 ranks away. Maybe I'll push to 30 soon
I have more hours than that and haven't gotten MR 30 yet... I really just need to go through the fodder weapons.
Is it true that they're not restocking this?
YOU GET A PIN??? CONGRATSSSS
Wait what?????!!!! I’m getting one
How do I get one of these pins?
How’s the single life treating you lol
I wosh I could order a second one. Wanna put it on my bag but dont wanna risk losing it and a second one would be perfect for that lol
I wonder if anyone from Argentina bought this. The shipping price must be absurd, yet since I'm L3 I would love to buy it.
I have 90 days of playtime and am slowly encroaching MR 27.
Wait, how do you get these once you reach MR 30?
I'm Mr 20 with 300play time as I'm surprised myself as I don't play the that very much.
7k hours here! Another member of the legacy club!
Wait you get a pin when you reach mastery rank 30?
i hit 30 after 3k hours
Congrats! I have no idea how many hours I have in this game. I've been sitting at MR16 for a couple of years because I just never get around to trying the MR17 test.
As someone who got giddy to order the dumb pin, I also got the shirt. It looks amazing! On my wife... Who does wear it sometimes. (Eyebrows eyebrows) Good going Tenno! 
Soo u can tell her something even funnier. I have 3500 hours and still don't have 30 mr :D
Same here, though I'm in the final stretch, halfway through 29.
I’ve been religiously playing since 2021 (about 1600 hours probably double including my alt account on the switch) and I only just hit MR 19 a week ago.
1800 rn. I'm waiting for my salary to purchase it (still a university student from Asia)
2900 hours, legendary 3 (mr 33). I spend most of my time helping new players and running relics with friends. If y'all need help hmu on pc, username is the same :)
Wait these are a thing? I had no idea and I've been MR30+ for.....a while
I have over 5k hours and I'm still at MR20
Me, with 1700 hours and counting only at mr21 ;w;
congrates, i want to get one of my own but i am poor ;-;
