Warframe - Planets Warframe Guide & Walkthrough
Last update: 09 May 2018
This section will introduce you to planets, their sectors and the available resources found in Warframe. In all, the game contains 17 worlds. You'll have to unlock at least a part of the sectors found on every planet, otherwise you won't be able to respond to alarms that happen in the locked sectors. Each planet has a certain amount of sectors, a Boss mission, and a connection node - 3 planets have relays that enable you to trade with other players or contact syndicates.
Each sector is marked by a set of symbols that can be viewed in two screenshots (above and at the bottom of the text). Black squares mark unavailable sectors - you need to complete missions found in the previous sectors in order to unlock them. White squares mark completed missions, while light blue depicts the available missions that are not yet completed and were unlocked through completing the previous square.

Junctions
Junctions are places that enable you to travel to other planets. You need to get past them to gain access to the other worlds of Warframe. Junctions are a type of solo missions - they are guarded by Warframe specters. If you manage to complete a node, you'll receive 1 000 mastery points and a few other rewards (typically, additional missions and weapon blueprints). Node missions can only be completed once. To unlock a node, you need to complete a few prerequisites. The missions are rather easy, especially when you are in possession of a Loki and a modified weapon - there isn't an enemy that can survive an attack from an invisible Warframe with a charged melee weapon.

Relays
Tenno Relay serve as hubs for the Tenno people - a place for meetings, interactions, as well as encountering syndicates. You can travel around them freely or press ESC on your keyboard and teleport to the individual locations. There are 7 relays present (their choice depends on the platform)
Planet | Name | PC | PS4 | XB1 | Mastery Rank | Guides of the Lotus |
Mercury | Larunda | Yes | No | No | 0 | Yes |
Venus | Vesper | No | No | Yes | 0 | Yes |
Earth | Strata | No | Yes | No | 0 | Yes |
Saturn | Kronia | Yes | Yes | No | 4 | |
Europa | Leonov | No | No | Yes | 4 | |
Eris | Kuiper | No | Yes | No | 8 | |
Pluto | Orcus | Yes | No | Yes | 8 |
Note - Guides of the Lotus are handpicked players chosen by the developers who are tasked with helping other players. They offer advice and help during missions. Such players often have 800~ spent hours in Warframe, extensive knowledge about the game and have no more than one warning on their profiles. Currently, there are 152 active Guides of the Lotus on PC, 62 on PS4 and 66 on Xbox One.
Baro Ki'Teer - Void Trader
Void Trader is a special merchant that appears randomly on various relays. He offers rare mods and weaponry that can be bought for credits and Orokin Ducats. The trader appears every two weeks and is available for 48 hours. You'll receive an information regarding his arrival 24 hours before his appearance on one of the relays - you'll also be notified by mail. Void Trader offers following wares: Prime versions of mods, exotic weapons, cosmetic stuff, boosters, Orokin catalysts. Make sure to prepare some Prime parts and a lot of credits for his arrival (Prime parts can be exchanged for Orokin Ducats).
Conclave, Darvo, Clem, Syndicates
The relays also contain the syndicate enclaves - here you can sell the medallions found during the syndicate missions for a reward of reputation points (these points are not counted towards the daily reputation limit)
You can access the PvP features (Conclave) directly from the relay. This will allow you to skip having to teleport to your ship in order to take part in the Conclave. More information about Conclave can be found in "Syndicate" -> "Conclave".
The relays contain two additional characters that can be interacted with. One of them is Darvo - a merchant offering various items with bargain prices (even up to 90% discount on platinum). His stock changes daily, and the amount of items is limited. The second character is Clem. You can find him next to Darvo. He is a former Grineer soldier. You can complete missions for him once a week. He becomes available after completing the mission "Man of few words" The missions are rewarded with Clem's clone that can be deployed during missions.
