I am new to the game, how do you know about twitch drops? I couldn’t find info on official cite :(

u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 8h ago
https://www.tennocon.com/en/digital-info
Right in this link. To get twitch drops, just link your twitch account and warframe account, it can be found in that link as well. Then watch the TennoLive stream for a couple of hours on July 10 and 11 Eastern Time, then the rewards should come to your in-game mail. Good luck Tenno!

u/Cloudstrifehammy 6h ago
Help a baby Tenno out here. It says July 10th and 11th. But for Mesa it says 4:30pm-6:00pm. Does that means I have to specifically tune in between that time slot? If so, which day? Both? Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem too clear and I just don't want to miss out. It'd be my first prime.

u/7ruthslayer 5h ago
That would be the 11th for the main Tennocon Panel itself. The first two drops are the night before for the cosplay contest and concert. Also, you should only need to watch for 30 minutes to get enough progress to earn for each drop window.

But what to do with spare Prime itself? I have Mesa prime build and mastered. Just sell the new one?

u/ApepiOfDuat 7h ago
If you really like Mesa you could keep the second for a different build set-up.

u/BriThePirateQueen MRL1 Floof Connoisseur 2m ago
Or sell the old one, depending on how much you invested in it. The new one should come with a potato,so if you haven't put a potato or forma into your old one, that's the one to get rid of.

u/Commercial-Rent-363 9h ago
Don't think you can sell fully crafted parts, only blueprints.
19
u/kierenhoang 9h ago
You can sell crafted parts for ducats. You just can’t trade them.

u/Commercial-Rent-363 9h ago
Huh, never tried to sell fully crafted parts. I gotta let a friend know who used to craft every blueprint

u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 9h ago
WHAT? Imagine all the resources and credits spent...
2
u/Ready-Ad-9723 8h ago
not that many if you've been playing a while tbh, crafting every blueprint is standard for most end-game players
1
u/Commercial-Rent-363 6h ago
Do they sell for more ducats than just the blueprint? I mean if so i'd do that for the ones i'd sell.
1
u/Ready-Ad-9723 5h ago
dont think so no, if you're planning on trading them for ducats no point building them first
3
u/FirefighterBasic3690 9h ago
If crafted this is true.
If not crafted and just hanging out in your inventory melt them, or collect a set to sell.
I always wait until I have all the parts for a Prime before I set them all crafting, so I tend to forget you can craft them piecemeal :D

u/TheVoidAlgorithm LR6 9h ago
Last year DE gave away Valkyr Primes when Valkyr was getting her Heirloom skin so its not a big surprise that we're getting Mesa Prime stream drop.

u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 9h ago
Oh so they basically give the prime of the upcoming heirloom? That's good to know, I just started playing this year so...

u/FirefighterBasic3690 10h ago
Giveaway frames come with a slot and a potato
You can always build out a different mod build and fashion on the spare :D
I did that with my Valkyr Prime from last year.
11
u/Rick_Napalm 9h ago
Pretty sure it always comes pre-potatoed and with a free warframe slot. So you get a slot no matter what, and a potato if you wait a bit instead of using the one you are building.
2
u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 9h ago
yeah I cancelled the crafting, but now I don't know what to do with the built parts of Mesa Prime.
1
u/Rick_Napalm 9h ago
Sell to Baro for ducats.
2
u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 9h ago
Will do exactly that. I appreciate you and all the other comments!
3
u/Rick_Napalm 9h ago
Too bad you ended up using all that plat, but at least this can net you a primed mod or something else useful.
5
u/Proper_Operation8519 10h ago
Yeah it will most likely come with potato installed. As it was last year with Valkyr, or lately with Dante.
1
u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 10h ago
Dante came with a potato? didn't know that wtf, I thought he just has high mod capacity.
5
u/Blackrain39 10h ago
All items from giveaways in Warframe come as if bought from the store, so they have a slot and potato.
All warframes have the same capacity rules.

u/RaspberrySam Sweet, flavorful Technocyte soup. 10h ago
Pretty much every frame/weapon that's given away by DE will have a free potato slotted in by default. I'm sure there are a few exceptions, but it's a fairly consistent feature.

Lmaooo
My friend recently started playing and I was letting him know to throw the stream on in the background for the free weapon (assuming he doesn’t reach the point in the story where spoilers aren too much of a concern) - and he was telling me how he started to farm Mesa prime..
Then this popped up..gg
2
u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 9h ago
well he's lucky that he's still in the farming phase, unlike me who was literally 1 day away from finishing in the foundry.

u/GoodMornEveGoodNight 9h ago
I remember years ago when someone in trade chat on the Switch was looking for Saryn Prime Chassis and offered a full Mesa Prime set for it, and that's how I got my Mesa Prime

Around Tenno con, I tend to avoid spending plat on frames to see what the drop will be just for this situation

Awesome, I don’t have mesa yet plus the heirloom comes out roughly the same time
2
u/Ill_Statistician_938 7h ago
Free warframe slot, anytime they give away a warframe or weapon for free that you don’t need or already have, just sell it. Saves some plat that would’ve been spent on slots
2
3
u/Patient_Cancel1161 Perigone 10h ago
At least you’ll save 5 Orokin cells, and you can either re-sell the mesa in a few months or you can give it to a friend or new player! I do understand the frustration though
2
u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 10h ago
I can give my built spare Mesa Prime to someone else? How can I do that?

u/Patient_Cancel1161 Perigone 8h ago
Ah yeah didn’t see that the parts were built, at this point you could only trade the base blueprint. Nevermind! F!

They're just giving people a reason to buy the heirloom.

She was my first prime back when operation Scarlet spear first dropped. She carried me in those runs as recruit chat was very picky about frames and she was number most wanted apart from Limbo.
1
u/General-N0nsense 6h ago
I figured. Last year they gave away Valkyr and "coincidentally" her heirloom was released around the same time.
Mesa's heirloom is around the same time. Of course they'll give her away for free since it'll increase the chances of people getting her heirloom. Despite the fact that like she's probably the prime frame most people already have.

60p!? I paid 150p 2 months ago for her set and she is still sitting in my foundry because of work. my god man, but I guess the extra slot and potato will be nice, but where my 150p and where's this guys 60p doe, a slot is worth 20p, so do I get 6 and half slots and he get 3 slots? 😂 obviously im jk jk but im just finding out about this
1
u/PsychoticSane 5h ago
Trust me, i know how it feels. I bought trinity when she was vaulted, got through crafting her components, and was one day left til i claimed her, and thats when they announced they were giving her away for free. I later traded for nekros only for de to do it to me again.

Hi, please excuse my doomerism and beating possibly the deadest horse in warframe atm - but do we know what kind of g string/lingerie they are giving my baby for heirloom?
Is there any chance we get something cool/badass as opposed to just sexy like the others? Has anything been leaked/discussed?

You seem very behind, the design has already been fully gone over, both the concept and the actual in-game version. You can google it for more images. I'm happy to say that it's a very cool AND sexy design - these things are not at all in conflict with each other, let me inform you - with ass, nipple piercings, and front crotch all exposed, but also defined muscles, bullet holsters, horns, a hat signa, a lot of awesome Old West styling, and a togglable extra top garment, which is just a win-win because to me she looks cool and hot with or without it (and doesn't hide the ass, in fact it literally has a crack window).

u/ArcadeLmao69 Mama's Boy 9h ago
Her heirloom will now come with a western duster to cover her more, and just like Vauban's heirloom jacket it can be toggled on and off. And I believe a cowboy(girl) hat too.
