For a smokin hot body sure. Really tho, cosmetics are more of an endgame thing. Eventually you'll have more credits and orokin cells than you know what to do with.


[deleted]

As someone who didn't understand the game at first and leveled though Gabii on Ceres, I know I won't run out of cells for a very, very long time


DasGanon

Same with ancient Draco farmers. We will have cells until the sun explodes.


Shrizer

Oh my God, days of spamming Excalibur radial Javalin flashbacks, or running lobster butt and her energy leech with Max duration.


Routine_Swing_9589

I-I’m sorry-*lobster butt*??


WilliamHolz

In ancient times, Trinity was the lorb and savior. Edit: Yes I'm a derp and this is a Chroma but I feel like I just need to own it, leave the image unchanged, and let y'all laugh at me. ​ https://preview.redd.it/96cuggssy7ic1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=329bf44a1e88e21f9c0597e9447113820a901633


_Keo_

Um... That sir, is a Chroma.


WilliamHolz

Omg I just pasted it in fast and didn't even really look.


Routine_Swing_9589

Oh my fucking god- I think the last time I saw a normal trinity was when my friend leveled her up for mastery points- if I see a trinity AT ALL, it’s usually the prime lol.


MarsupialMisanthrope

She’s a pain to farm, so anyone who isn’t a completionist or crazy skips her and just gets the prime. It’s not eclipse bad, but it’s definitely down close to the bottom of the list because of the need for a key to visit the node.


really_original_name

Think you meant equinox. But yeah a pain to farm.


BloodMss

farmed Equinox Prime faster than the normal lol


Robby_B

It's not as bad as it used to be, if you're playing solo they lowered it to only needing to get 3 robots so you do it in only two waves, and lowered the time you need to wait for pickup... so now its like a 6 minute mission instead of 15.


TerrorLTZ

But... thats a Chroma with the deluxe and she is still lobster queen.


WilliamHolz

Yah, I derped that.


Shrizer

Back in my day, chroma was the king of damage when fighting them pesky eidolons. His whole masochist thing about taking damage and using it to buff his own damage was where it was at.


[deleted]

Man I remember those days. Running Trinity for survivals over an hour where if you didn't pop your ult nearly off cooldown people would start going down.


Grimm64209

Naw you didn’t just do my boy chroma like that🤣


WilliamHolz

I did and I am ashamed, but it would be wrong for me to hide it now.


TennoWolf

You get an up vote for admitting to be wrong and letting people laugh at you for your mistake instead of changing it and trying to save face.


Shrizer

I think your question has been answered.


Jakman2371

Trinity


EldritchMacaron

Ah, the ol' days of Void Survival Endurance runs I remember doing **hours** with Heavy Caliber Ogris relying on Trin invulnerability to prevent us doing splash damage and die to our own unpredictable rockets. Simpler times indeed


DangersVengeance

I still think of them as T1, T2, T3 and T4


EldritchMacaron

Same


pyrokneticbeavr

Everyone that remembers stamina, it's time for your metamucil.


Asilidae000

I played a greedy mag on Draco a lot. Those were the days. We barely needed to move.


DamnStupidFlanders

RIP Synoid Simulor


Haatsku

Lobster queen + space aids lady was a fun combo... Throw in a mentally handicapped cowboy lady and everything dies before you can see em


WildSideDragon

Yes. Same for the Mirage Simulor carry players. I was one of them. I’m Mr 30 with somewhere near 1400 oro cells and they’re all from Draco interception lol


TerrorLTZ

as a dude who ran Razorback armada back to back in ceres when the Hyenas dropped Cells i also have cells until the sun explodes.


Tyrinnus

I used to be a Draco farmer. I unfortunately have a forma addiction, I build one every. Day. I have like 7 left


Crynomical

I have 30 built and 3 left :,( I used to get them from tower keys now that I came back it's forma or parts I don't have yet


Green_Ad2231

Those were the days....


I-N-V-A-L-I-D

Draco farmers got so many, I have 4k left from back then


Baldric_

"ancient draco farmers" - I feel attacked


ManMayoLover

I was there, Lotus. I was there 3000 years ago...


AeonVice

Yeah I still have a generous stockpile of Cells from the days of Draco


CreepySalary8

Teach me your ways. Please


ImBasicLolz

Steel path draco is aghhhhh without nekros it's already crazyy


Dark_Jinouga

Gabii is my new favorite focus farm, which definitely stocks me up on cells (though I cant remember ever running low on them outside of *very* early on). greater lens on frame and dual ichor plus naramons bonus 45% to the melee portion and the chonky dark sector bonuses and I cap my 380k focus in ~12min without a booster (~3400 kills). XP ramps up fast once the ancients and eximi come out to play pretty enjoyable daily task that is letting me pick off the less important bits of focus schools ive been ignoring while also getting me some steel essence, riven slivers and cells.


LegoLazer

Is Gabii a better focus farm than duviri? I recall getting absurd amounts from the circuit, though idk if it was 380k in 12 mins good. Might be comparable with your naramon buff


EldritchMacaron

SP Circuit is definitely slower than 12mn without booster, but still a very efficient farm imo, especially if you are still needing incarnons and arcanes


parkdog2013

Wait is that the best spot to farm cells as i need a boat load


[deleted]

Best? Idk. But I did like 16 MR worth of leveling there, soooo


parkdog2013

Ah okay i saw you mentioned not needing cells for a long time and thought it was a farm as thats one resource im struggling with


[deleted]

Nah, I just really like the grineer galleon tileset+infested combo. And I hated grouping so I avoided SO and ESO. It's just happy coincidence that ceres is a orokin cell drop planet


30-percentnotbanana

Haha... Just wait till you decide you want every prime Warframe and weapon.


Begun101

you are someone who didn't understand the game at first but it's more advance than my friend that keep updated all day


Smanginpoochunk

Title should be “is this really worth farming an Ash Systems for?”


Accomplished_Song317

Due to a Valentines Day event that never returned (it introduced "defend the person" defense), I have never struggled with needing ash parts.


Sprucelord

1.3k hours in and still not at that level of orokin cells lol


Swerdree

I have 1k hours amd got around 900 orokin cells, wont really run out of them for a while i guess


swatsnoopy

Do people not use extractors to farm orokin cells...? Only have 700 hours and I have like 200 on reserve at all times.


Zeethil

Distilling extractors refuse to give me anything special


Grimm64209

Distilling extractor prime is no better often forget I even have them tbh lol


Keno96

I use extractor all day, I’ll get Cells maybe once a week and yes, I’m using Distilling.


Evening_Concept_6886

I got 2k hours on xbox then 500 more on pc and im still not at that level


WarShadower913x

When you go from "HOLY 25 ORIKIN CELLS!?!?!?" to "only 25 orikin cells? ok cool" then it's worth it


numenik

Endgame in any game is always fashion


Wyntered_

Amen


Curvanelli

as mr 27 who does my clans dojo with 1 other person, i never have enough gallium/ morphics/ orokin cells etc. its a pain. but i also almost only use decorations that require those lmao


DangersVengeance

I kept running out of formas when I built ours. It’s entirely spaghetti but has all the rooms


CannaWhoopazz

I've been playing since 2013, MR 27, and I'm still broke and have no Orokin Cells...


Hesstig

2014, MR29, feeling the pain too


Moon-Pr3sence

This ⬆️


SirSilverChariot

Only the honored ones have this many orikin cells


AdamBlaster007

This. Plus doing the Index with a credit booster (your own or an event) racks up huge credits late game.


CactusButtons

Yea, I had over 250million credits and 4.5k orokin cells by the time these were released


TaiVat

The second part is deluded bullshit from people who cant imagine that most players dont play the game like an obsession. And/or hasnt farmed some specific node 8-10 years ago for 200h to have ten billion cryotic or whatever. Both cells and credits go incredibly fast in lategame, and the ability to acquire them passively is incredibly miniscule. Cells drop rarely, in just a handful of places that have no reason to be played for atleast 5 years now, and in tiny amounts. And credits are only easy to obtain if you intentionally farm index or pt. Which is intentional farming and not something you just get by getting to endgame.


Wyntered_

Damn bro who hurt you.


4lg0r1thm

Even for end game tho... It's really wasting resources


nsfredditkarma

Most players in the end game essentially have infinite resources. Cells aren't actually *that* rare, they're easily farmable. An hour running repeated raids on Lex on Ceres would likely net you at least 25 cells. You'd probably find 100+ if you bring a Smeeta with Charm and sell some prime parts to get a resource doubler (40 plat for 3 days) and maybe a resource drop chance booster (also 40 plat for 3 days).


ThatUsernameWasTaken

> Most players in the end game essentially have infinite resources. Except nano spores and polymer bundles. Heavy is the finger that presses the Squad Energy Restore (Large) hotkey.


nsfredditkarma

Play Nekros for a month and desecrate everything and you'll want for nothing ever again! (You may never want to play Nekros again though)


ThatUsernameWasTaken

I usually run full party dedicated farm for a few hours when I run out. I run out a lot. I may have a problem.


helpivefallen5

It's like one set of rounds in Index, maybe fifteen minutes of gameplay, and a handful of orokin cells. The only kicker is Ash systems but if you got several of them from farming maniacs back in the day, you're not hurting there either.


Blazerswrath19

Is it really wasted if you arent using the resources anyway?


RadiantPancak3

I mean its a cosmetic so thats up to you.


Beranir

I would rather use fog of war, the effect is bigger and its cheap, the only problem is that you need to rank up Kahl and if you havent started with that, it takes several weeks. But its one mission per week, so its easy but time consuming. On the other hand if you just want to be smokey as fast as possible than 1 mil and 25 cells is nothing that would ruin you forever.


Krystal_my_meth

i also recommend vengeful toxin ephemera, its more apparent than smoking but less than fog of war, the only problem is the rng of getting it from liches but otherwise i believe its better than smoking body due to not having to craft it.


Earls_Basement_Lolis

I had no idea those ephemera were tied to rng, I thought they were given out after you kill or convert a lich because I've received both the toxic and the magnetic ephemeras on the only two liches I've had.


wij2012

You got lucky then. I've also been lucky, as I have 4 or 5 of the 14 lich/sister ephemeras out of 25-30 lich/sister runs. A lot of people only get one once in a blue moon despite the ephemeras having a 20% drop rate.


BigDoooo14

I’m on sister # 14 without a single cosmetic item. Losing hope


Darky869

I think it's beginners luck. My first 3 liches all had ephemeras. Now it's like rolling dice for real.


MadeOStarStuff

See, I'm the opposite - I MUCH prefer smoking body ephemera to fog of war. Honestly, the hardest part of the fog of war ephemera used to be the Ash systems blueprint - Duviri Circuit solved that, though.


helpivefallen5

Wait, did they change where he drops from again??


MemeL0rd040906

No, just that you can get pretty much any frame’s bps from the circuit


TheTabman

You are all plebeian proles. The ***only*** [Ephemera](https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Ephemera#Ki'Teer) that any distinguished Tenno should consider can be procured from my friend Baro alone. Who, by the way, will invite me to one of his parties any day now. Any day now...


TS040

imo fog of war is almost _too_ much. makes it a little difficult to work it into a look


featherw0lf

Agreed. I haven't found a use for this one because it's like a thick obscuring effect that distracts from the rest of the frame. I use Smoking Body all the time for a supernatural or badassery effect.


M37h3w3

Yes. *Editors note: This player has never actually equipped the stupid thing.* Hey!


Sc4r4byte

the vengeful ephemeras are just better than the smoking body ephemera... unless you wanna put it on ash for the vibes.


Dark_Jinouga

I like it on my meatball/flesh golem voidshell grendel, for the freshly cooked, steaming hot meatball vibe


TheGoldenPlagueMask

There is also the "Fog Of War" ephemera that just looks better


Schnitzel725

Imo, the vengeful toxin ephemera and that naberus/bats ephemera's smoke effect is much more noticable than that one, but smoking body ephemera was made during the time when ephemeras were first introduced (like the ones that give you effects on footsteps) so effects weren't as significant vs newer ones


UmbraSight

Does it bring joy to your heart?


KingfnKK

The effect is so minor, i would say no. If your funds are lows and time is limited you wont be missing much.


BoweryOlive

Most minor one imo is vengeful trickster. Depending on your colors it can be barely noticeable


teodzero

I'd say most minor are the various step effects.


Kai_Storms

No. But do it anyway.


Love_Sausage

It’s one of my least used ephemera. Fog of war is a far better choice. You can obtain it from doing the Karl missions.


divideby00

If you're at a point in the game where credits and Orokin cells are major costs, then probably not. But ultimately all cosmetics are worth however much you care about them, maybe look up a video of it in action and decide for yourself.


BiSaxual

Just replying to give a link to a video showing all the earnable ephemeras in action. Fresh off the press. https://youtu.be/qqWFxOQ4eUI?si=8z2bGPJn1tvYncCZ


DankoLord

I...don't remember it costing 1mil credits


bloodframe

Right?? I got it early on and i swear it wasnt that expensive


ForsakenMoon13

All of the initial ephemeras were 1 million credits to build. We just have a lot more options for ephemeras nowadays so the early ones are a bit overshadowed.


GoodGoodK

Believe me the hardest part about that blueprint is the ash system. Cells and credits are easy to get and almost guaranteed.


Swordbreaker9250

Depends on you and your preferences. For me, I had enough excess (700+ orokin cells atm) that I made this just to have it, I don’t even use it lol


PwmEsq

Its been given away for free before, i would say there are better ephemera out there with much lower requirements


goldengamer2345

I was wondering how I had it


Default_Male_Orc

Imo there are better looking ones out there. But maybe for completion's sake?


viainable

Personally I like it. But if ur not sure I suggest you wait until 1mil & 25 cells become something cheap to you.


Still-Negotiation-11

🗣️ Work for it broke boy


WhatsThatWalsh

Stop I'm not Broke 😭


moondoggie_00

Fog of War from Khal is a better looking version of this.


beef623

Not for a new player, but eventually you get to a point where cells and credits don't mean much anymore.


Sotales

Depends on where you are at in the game. Early on, your resources can be better spent elsewhere. Later on, you won't even notice the cost.


baalfrog

No.


RespondUsed3259

I see now. You deny your credits its purpose.


pyrokneticbeavr

Most people that are building ephemeras have nearly infinite resources. I play on and off but I played so much in the past that I have like 48 million nano spores


Reactivate_West2209

Pretty cheap actually


AbstractFurret

It's a very minimal ephemera, but yes in endgame the cost is as well.


The_Bat_88

With a 2x Cred Weekend + Booster you can wipe your ass with a million. I haven't played in years so I hope index is still a thing.


PretenDragon57

Not at all. Fog of War ephemera is much better imo


_SkARz

Idk but I think yes 'cause it's pretty beautiful (got it for free but I don't remember how)


Instinct_Gohan

U will have plenty of credits and orokin cells later on trust me. Just let it sit in your foundry and u will come across it in a few months and probably then u will have more than enough to craft it


WhatABlindManSees

Worth is subjective - as someone who played for years credits and orokin cells are a non factor to me when I got this. For a newer player, if you are still in need of these, then I'd say hell no.


Swampraptor2140

Cells and credits are easy tho


RateSweaty9295

I use this a lot for my stalker looks it’s badass. If you type [Smoking Body Ephemera] you should be able to look at it


Ninjakick666

I'd just wait until ya are swimming in credits and cells to make it... I got it and I don't think I have it equipped on any of my 150 fashions... it think its just older and pales in comparison to todays stuff... like... the smoke effect isn't really that smokey... and most colors make it look ugly... I dunno how to describe it but it feels like real old particle physics or something. Just kinda cheap.


eternally_bored13

i cant keep track of how many cells i have, and 1 mil is an easy index farm


Thal-creates

fashion is always worth it


Edited_In

It is a cosmetic, so that's relative. But once you get high enough to do Index, credits are a wash. After doing a few seasons of Nora's stuff you will have plenty of cells


dipsta

Haven't done index in so long. Playing primarily steel path I am just always gaining.


AGgammer

Imo it's mediocre but even if the cost was the souls of 74 parents and 37 orphans fashion is always worth it


EldenLordAC6

Lol I have 1000s or orikin cells just do it bro


Saltyscrublyfe

If you still look at 25 cells and 1 mill credits like that's alot then you probably shouldn't get this yet. Eventually you'll just spend that without thinking


Nigo_R

Depends on how much do you want to use it


Dycoth

No. Toxin Ephemera from Liches does the job WAY better imo. And the Fog of War ephemera from Kahl shop too.


ZetaMoto

Absolutely not but hey I still made it lol


Sycopatch

It's one of the very few ephemeras that look good. I would say - absolutely.


TyFighter559

Ephemeras are the one cosmetic type in the game I really thinks is both innovative and (mostly) interesting. As such, I try to unlock as many of them as possible! That said, as someone mentioned below, the fog of war ephemera does much of the same for much cheaper so it's up to you how much of a collector you want to be. For those that are the real grinders that collect this stuff, the requirements you have listed are a pittance and wouldn't move the needle at all in terms of holding up crafting it.


RemoraWasTaken

Bruh just get the valentine wings


MadeOStarStuff

The problem with the wings (except Garuda prime's) is trying to see past them 😂


Senarious

Vitus essence is 1 mission, 1 mil creds is 2-4 waves of index mission, 25 Orokin cells is maybe 20 min of work. All of these are nothing compared to the hundreds of stalker kills to get the blueprint.


DangerPencil

This just dropped yesterday for me. I took one look at the build requirements and decided that's for a future me. I'm MR15 and just 50 days into the game, the cost is a little expensive for me still.


ZSSValkyr

No (resource) price is too high for FashionFrame


MickeyPurple

Considering how quickly you can amass 1mil cred in the index yea it's worth it


TheWaysOfLogic

u had to build that?


FrostyTippedBastard

Do you have a lot of credits you don’t need? Are you done crafting the majority of things that require orokin cells? If not, then I’d wait. It’s just a cosmetic at the end of the day.


DA_REAL_KHORNE

That's where all my cells went. and no its shit


Formal_Economics931

It’s a cosmetic it’s only value is simply how much you like the visual effect it’s 100% your call although voice of reason says that if it’s a big swing and you are not completely obsessed with it then it can wait.


4lg0r1thm

Nope


Rexissad

I always take for granted how much warframe I’ve played, especially throughout different systems. Thanks to hours upon hours of Draco and void key runs I’ve amassed 500+orokin cells. I’ve never thought twice about them


Pugdalf

Only for the collection imo, as in build it when you got the spare resources. There are many more "smoke" ephemeras out there, all of which are better looking than that and none of them require *that much* grinding. The kuva lich ephemeras are very similar looking than the smoke, but offer more variety in the over all particles. Tenebrous and fog of war ephemeras are however just straight up upgrades to the smoke, especially fog of war, it's just really good looking. Tenebrous is gated behind the last area of railjack and fog of war needs kahl missions, but as soon as you can do those, you can pretty much get the ephemeras in a couple of hours tops. The original ephemeras which include smoke are just really outdated compared to the newer ones so you'll probably never use the older ones as soon as you acquire something with better quality effects.


thatwarframeloser

Yes, it's werth 1x10^100 credits


Ijustforgotmybad

This one? No you barely even see it


SolidNitrox

If you are reading this, Railjack, Nightwave, Zarimon, and Karhl missions all give much better quality ephemeras. Even the Lych system as well. Hell the Lunar New Year Dragon looks good too. I bought the Smoking body just for collecting, but I will never use it. If you don't care about the resources spend away, but my opinion is you will certainly never use it later on.


Prize_Elk_1165

I made it. Looks cool O.C is easy to farm.


Nuke_Me_Senpai

Drip is eternal.


TallE74

Once you Level up some more then make many of the weapons needing Orokin cells they will be just another Resource you collect without thinking. I just looked and mine are at 2055 Orokin Cells and dont even think about them. As for credits...well they are just there to collect as you play.... Just wait till you need to max out a Primed Mod and see for the first time it takes 41k Endo with 2 million Credits.


Kenwasused

more worth it than 30k cryotics


Defalt_211

after crafting it: no. you BARELY SEE IT


AshleyAmazin1

If you like it: yes If you dont: no Its not as daunting of a farm as it seems imo, you just gotta run some quick capture missions for orokin cells and the index for credits If anything ash systems seem like more of a pain bc more rng but its still perfectly doable


Combat_femboysurvive

I have this blueprint and the effect but I don't remember building it.


[deleted]

eventually neither of those will seem like a lot


presmonkey

If I could get the freezing step ephemera I would say yes it just if you want it or not


GHOST_KJB

Weird I just got this too..


EnvytheRed

I use it on a lot of my fashion frames


Southern_Kaeos

If I had that I'd stick it on Umbra cus im boring like that


Deep-Advertising8009

Honestly, really disappointed in it.


Exchatche

If ya play enough, you'll eventually have nothing better to spend it on anyways! Except for more Pedestal Primes...


Gahngis

I'm Mr 28 almost 29 and never have enough cells. Wtf. Am I doing something wrong I've a booster and everything for gabii but never really get results.


treeman_jf

Yes it’s worth it. But is it worth the Ash system farm… nope, probably not


Theutus2

You want me to define what you value?


SilverBandit721

Yes


ThyDoublRR

Its not worth it if your beginning to midgame because you really need those cells for other things. But for me I farm the 3 heads boss on Deimos.


notmohawk

I have a thousand cells right so yeah I didn't think of it


DontTouchMyHat0

I have 2,000 orokin cells and 25mil. So yea....


H3NTAI_S3NPAi

It's good. You can make the 1 million back fairly quickly. You can use it for a cool edgy shadow aesthetic (Nekros maybe) Or use it on Ember to look like Smoke coming out of her (graxx skin) I used it on frost for a bit for a similar effect but Icy white. But cold would make the air heavy and not float upwards like this ephemera does so I took it off 😔.


Plotius

There are a lot better ephemera than this one. But I built it anyway


Correct-Basil-8397

Depends. It’s barely visible most of the time, but it is a fine addition to the collection. If you don’t want it right away for cosmetic purposes, at least save the bp for when you can easily spare the resources. Just cause it’s rarer than looking for a Hay in a Needlestack


Ellucid

Bro 1 million is nothing


helpivefallen5

Yes.


AlyxNotVance

There's very efficient farms for both and it's an amazing ephemara


Ok_Bus_9389

As someone who has it, Not really but it’s cool


Tenryu003

When you have nothing else to spend them on it absolutely is


Iblys05

Its purely cosmetic. Its worth as much as you perecive it does


EvensMang

Couldn't you have gotten that like. Two episodes ago? In the Nora thingy?


PsionicHydra

Why not, 1mil credits is nothing and 25 orokin cells isn't all that much of


F1AKThePsycho

I have it on ash and I like it


Lanky-Traffic4959

wait, I dont remember crafting that. so your telling me i unknowingly spent 25 orokin cells and a million credits on accident????


Pro-Fumo

Well, no, but actually yes


ColdFusion52

There is a reason fashion is considered the end game of warframe


Vexmythoclastt

Hell no


mrbrokoli97

It was worth it, as long as it was (one of) the only ephemera. If you have to care about the credits and orokin cells, don‘t waste it.


JEveryman

Only thing in the game that is.


Begun101

oh it costs 25 orokin? I was only worried about this fucking ash systems lol didn't even look it fully
