To level up in Warframe, you need to master different weapons, Warframes, Archwings, and even a spaceship; it’s a rather unique leveling and progression system. However, as with most leveling systems, Warframe also has some unofficial XP farms. There, you can get more for your effort. You will want to know these ideal places to level up in Warframe, especially once you learn about mod and gear Polarity. It also goes without saying that it’s better to level up in Warframe in co-op with a full squad of four.
Hydron, Sedna For Leveling Warframes & Companions
This one is the most common spot for leveling up in Warframe. It’s not just for warframes and companions themselves; it’s also viable for weapons. The place would be none other than good old Hydron, Sedna.
It’s a Defense mission with heavy Grineer congestion. For the best effort-to-reward ratio, stay for 10 waves (two rounds), leave, and then restart the mission.
Sanctuary Onslaught For Leveling Weapons
Hydron, Sedna is also a decent XP farm for weapons, but the regular Sanctuary Onslaught (level 20-30) is faster.
Make sure you use the weapons you’re leveling to kill enemies; otherwise, the XP might go to the Warframe or spread throughout all your equipment.
Salacia, Neptune For Leveling Archwings
For Archwings, it’s a different plight since their missions are more limited. However, the Mobile Defense mission in Salacia, Neptune, is an ideal place.
Enemies spawn almost instantly, and Mobile Defense means there will be droves of them. Do be careful in straying too far from your squad, as that’s an easy mistake to make in Archwing missions.
Veil Proxima For Railjack Intrinsics
Leveling the Railjack means gaining Intrinsic points, as it doesn’t “level up” in the conventional sense. For that matter, Flexa in the Veil Proxima is a good spot, though the level range is a little too high. Make sure to bring a squad or join a good Railjack config.
Calabash is another Veil Proxima location that’s decent and has a lower level range, though it has a higher fighter range, so you need a good Railjack.
Orb Vallis, Venus For Leveling Necramechs
Leveling up Necramechs can be a pain, but you can take advantage of open-world mission types in Orb Vallis for this process. The Thermia Fracture Event is a good XP farm for Necramechs; just make sure to drop your Necramech during the Coolant Defense phase.
Otherwise, just perform some Orb Vallis bounties and take advantage of bounty mission types where you keep killing enemies to look for keys. Get to grinding, Tenno. Make Mommy Lotus proud.
To recap, here are the best XP farming locations in Warframe:
- Hydron, Sedna — Warframes & Companions
- Sanctuary Onslaught — Weapons
- Salacia, Neptune — Archwings
- Veil Proxima — Railjack Intrinsics
- Orb Vallis, Venus — Necramechs
