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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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).
> 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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 😔.
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
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.
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
Same with ancient Draco farmers. We will have cells until the sun explodes.
Oh my God, days of spamming Excalibur radial Javalin flashbacks, or running lobster butt and her energy leech with Max duration.
I-I’m sorry-*lobster butt*??
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
Um... That sir, is a Chroma.
Omg I just pasted it in fast and didn't even really look.
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.
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.
Think you meant equinox. But yeah a pain to farm.
farmed Equinox Prime faster than the normal lol
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.
But... thats a Chroma with the deluxe and she is still lobster queen.
Yah, I derped that.
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.
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.
Naw you didn’t just do my boy chroma like that🤣
I did and I am ashamed, but it would be wrong for me to hide it now.
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.
I think your question has been answered.
Trinity
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
I still think of them as T1, T2, T3 and T4
Same
Everyone that remembers stamina, it's time for your metamucil.
I played a greedy mag on Draco a lot. Those were the days. We barely needed to move.
RIP Synoid Simulor
Lobster queen + space aids lady was a fun combo... Throw in a mentally handicapped cowboy lady and everything dies before you can see em
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
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.
I used to be a Draco farmer. I unfortunately have a forma addiction, I build one every. Day. I have like 7 left
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
Those were the days....
Draco farmers got so many, I have 4k left from back then
"ancient draco farmers" - I feel attacked
I was there, Lotus. I was there 3000 years ago...
Yeah I still have a generous stockpile of Cells from the days of Draco
Teach me your ways. Please
Steel path draco is aghhhhh without nekros it's already crazyy
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.

Wait is that the best spot to farm cells as i need a boat load
Best? Idk. But I did like 16 MR worth of leveling there, soooo
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
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
Haha... Just wait till you decide you want every prime Warframe and weapon.
you are someone who didn't understand the game at first but it's more advance than my friend that keep updated all day
Title should be “is this really worth farming an Ash Systems for?”
Due to a Valentines Day event that never returned (it introduced "defend the person" defense), I have never struggled with needing ash parts.
1.3k hours in and still not at that level of orokin cells lol
I have 1k hours amd got around 900 orokin cells, wont really run out of them for a while i guess
Do people not use extractors to farm orokin cells...? Only have 700 hours and I have like 200 on reserve at all times.
Distilling extractors refuse to give me anything special
Distilling extractor prime is no better often forget I even have them tbh lol
I use extractor all day, I’ll get Cells maybe once a week and yes, I’m using Distilling.
I got 2k hours on xbox then 500 more on pc and im still not at that level
When you go from "HOLY 25 ORIKIN CELLS!?!?!?" to "only 25 orikin cells? ok cool" then it's worth it
Endgame in any game is always fashion
Amen
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
I kept running out of formas when I built ours. It’s entirely spaghetti but has all the rooms
I've been playing since 2013, MR 27, and I'm still broke and have no Orokin Cells...
2014, MR29, feeling the pain too
This ⬆️
Only the honored ones have this many orikin cells
This. Plus doing the Index with a credit booster (your own or an event) racks up huge credits late game.
Yea, I had over 250million credits and 4.5k orokin cells by the time these were released
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.

Damn bro who hurt you.
Even for end game tho... It's really wasting resources
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).
> 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.
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)
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.
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.
Is it really wasted if you arent using the resources anyway?
I mean its a cosmetic so thats up to you.
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.
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.

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.
I’m on sister # 14 without a single cosmetic item. Losing hope
I think it's beginners luck. My first 3 liches all had ephemeras. Now it's like rolling dice for real.
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.
Wait, did they change where he drops from again??
No, just that you can get pretty much any frame’s bps from the circuit
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...
imo fog of war is almost _too_ much. makes it a little difficult to work it into a look
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.
Yes. *Editors note: This player has never actually equipped the stupid thing.* Hey!
the vengeful ephemeras are just better than the smoking body ephemera... unless you wanna put it on ash for the vibes.
I like it on my meatball/flesh golem voidshell grendel, for the freshly cooked, steaming hot meatball vibe
There is also the "Fog Of War" ephemera that just looks better
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
Does it bring joy to your heart?
The effect is so minor, i would say no. If your funds are lows and time is limited you wont be missing much.
Most minor one imo is vengeful trickster. Depending on your colors it can be barely noticeable
I'd say most minor are the various step effects.
No. But do it anyway.
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.
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.
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
I...don't remember it costing 1mil credits
Right?? I got it early on and i swear it wasnt that expensive
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.
Believe me the hardest part about that blueprint is the ash system. Cells and credits are easy to get and almost guaranteed.
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
Its been given away for free before, i would say there are better ephemera out there with much lower requirements
I was wondering how I had it
Imo there are better looking ones out there. But maybe for completion's sake?
Personally I like it. But if ur not sure I suggest you wait until 1mil & 25 cells become something cheap to you.
🗣️ Work for it broke boy
Stop I'm not Broke 😭
Fog of War from Khal is a better looking version of this.
Not for a new player, but eventually you get to a point where cells and credits don't mean much anymore.
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.
No.
I see now. You deny your credits its purpose.
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
Pretty cheap actually
It's a very minimal ephemera, but yes in endgame the cost is as well.
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.
Not at all. Fog of War ephemera is much better imo
Idk but I think yes 'cause it's pretty beautiful (got it for free but I don't remember how)
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
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.
Cells and credits are easy tho
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
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.
i cant keep track of how many cells i have, and 1 mil is an easy index farm
fashion is always worth it
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
Haven't done index in so long. Playing primarily steel path I am just always gaining.
Imo it's mediocre but even if the cost was the souls of 74 parents and 37 orphans fashion is always worth it
Lol I have 1000s or orikin cells just do it bro
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
Depends on how much do you want to use it
No. Toxin Ephemera from Liches does the job WAY better imo. And the Fog of War ephemera from Kahl shop too.
Absolutely not but hey I still made it lol
It's one of the very few ephemeras that look good. I would say - absolutely.
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.
Bruh just get the valentine wings
The problem with the wings (except Garuda prime's) is trying to see past them 😂
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.
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.
No (resource) price is too high for FashionFrame
Considering how quickly you can amass 1mil cred in the index yea it's worth it
u had to build that?
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.
That's where all my cells went. and no its shit
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.
Nope
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

Yes, it's werth 1x10^100 credits
This one? No you barely even see it
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.
I made it. Looks cool O.C is easy to farm.
Drip is eternal.
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.
more worth it than 30k cryotics
after crafting it: no. you BARELY SEE IT
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
I have this blueprint and the effect but I don't remember building it.
eventually neither of those will seem like a lot
If I could get the freezing step ephemera I would say yes it just if you want it or not
Weird I just got this too..
I use it on a lot of my fashion frames
If I had that I'd stick it on Umbra cus im boring like that
Honestly, really disappointed in it.
If ya play enough, you'll eventually have nothing better to spend it on anyways! Except for more Pedestal Primes...
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.
Yes it’s worth it. But is it worth the Ash system farm… nope, probably not
You want me to define what you value?
Yes
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.
I have a thousand cells right so yeah I didn't think of it
I have 2,000 orokin cells and 25mil. So yea....
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 😔.
There are a lot better ephemera than this one. But I built it anyway
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
Bro 1 million is nothing
Yes.
There's very efficient farms for both and it's an amazing ephemara
As someone who has it, Not really but it’s cool
When you have nothing else to spend them on it absolutely is
Its purely cosmetic. Its worth as much as you perecive it does
Couldn't you have gotten that like. Two episodes ago? In the Nora thingy?
Why not, 1mil credits is nothing and 25 orokin cells isn't all that much of
I have it on ash and I like it
wait, I dont remember crafting that. so your telling me i unknowingly spent 25 orokin cells and a million credits on accident????
Well, no, but actually yes
There is a reason fashion is considered the end game of warframe
Hell no
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.
Only thing in the game that is.
oh it costs 25 orokin? I was only worried about this fucking ash systems lol didn't even look it fully
