Daily and weekly routine: what to do regularly

After your first weeks you notice it quickly: many good rewards cannot be farmed without limit. Standing has a daily cap, Sorties come once a day, and the Archon Hunt only once a week. If you pick these up regularly, you progress much faster with little effort. You do not have to do everything. Pick the parts that fit where you are in the game.

The key terms in short:

Daily reset

Every day at 00:00 UTC a new day starts in Warframe. You get a new login reward and your standing cap is full again.

Weekly reset

Every Monday at 00:00 UTC a new week starts. Weekly missions and weekly vendor offers are available again.

Daily standing cap

How much Syndicate standing you can earn per day. It grows with your Mastery Rank.

Sorties

Three hard missions in a row, new every day. At the end you get a random, often valuable reward.

Archon Hunt

Three hard missions that stay the same for a week, with an Archon as the final boss. It always gives you an Archon Shard.

Nightwave

A seasonal system with daily and weekly tasks. They rank you up and give you rewards.

Foundry

Where you build items from blueprints. Many builds take almost a full day, so it pays to start something daily.

At the daily reset, among other things, the login reward, the Syndicate standing cap, the Focus cap, your trade limit and the Steel Path Incursions reset. At the weekly reset you get a new Archon Hunt, new Netracells, Circuit, Nightwave weekly tasks and many vendor offers.

What	Unlock	Reward	Time (rough)
Login reward	right away	Random: credits, Endo, resources, boosters, relics, sometimes a platinum discount	1 min
Daily First Win	right away	Double credits from your first mission	on the side
Syndicate standing	MR 3 (Orbiter console) or Relay	Standing up to the daily cap	10–30 min

Steel Path Incursions	How to unlock and master the Steel Path unlocked	5 Steel Essence per mission, 6 missions a day	3–8 min each
Foundry	right away	e.g. 1 Forma per day	1 min

Syndicate standing: The daily cap is 16,000 plus 500 per Mastery Rank. At MR 10 that is 21,000, at MR 20 already 26,000 and at MR 30 exactly 31,000. Standing you do not earn today is lost. More in Syndicates, open worlds and standing.

Sorties: You play three missions in a row, each harder than the last. The first gives 20,000, the second 30,000 and the third 50,000 credits. After the third you get a reward from a fixed list. Common ones are an Ayatan Anasa Sculpture, a Riven, 4,000 Endo or 6,000 Kuva. Rarer ones are boosters, Forma, an Exilus Warframe Adapter or blueprints for an Orokin Catalyst or Orokin Reactor.

Nightwave: Each daily task stays open for 3 days. So you do not have to play every day to avoid missing any. Every 10,000 standing gives you a rank, with 30 ranks in total and rewards such as Forma, weapon slots and Arcane Adapters. As of November 2026 the season “Amir’s Shockwave” is running.

Foundry: A Forma takes 23 hours and costs 35,000 credits plus 1 each of Morphics, Neurodes, Neural Sensors and Orokin Hücresi. Start a new one every day once you have blueprints. Forma blueprints often come from Void Relics. If you own the reusable Orokin Hücresi blueprint (Market, 100 platinum), you can build one Orokin Cell from common resources in 1 hour.

If you have time left, these missions make good fillers. They have no daily limit:

• Void Fissures: Here you open Void Relics for Prime parts and Forma blueprints. They rotate all the time and you can play them as often as you like. More in Void Relics: farming Prime parts.
• Kuva Siphons: On the two planets next to the Kuva Fortress there are up to 6 Kuva missions. A Siphon gives about 550 to 700 Kuva, the harder Kuva Flood about twice as much. You need “The War Within” for them.
• Arbitrations: Every hour there is a new endless mission for Vitus Essence. More in Arbitrations: rules, Vitus Essence and rewards.
• Open world Bounties: They give extra standing with the Syndicates there, for example the Ostron in Cetus.

Archon Hunt: Three missions against Narmer, with an Archon at the end. The Archon changes every week: Boreal (blue shard), Amar (red shard), Nira (yellow shard). Enemies are level 130 to 150 and you cannot revive yourself. The extra reward is similar to Sorties, but with twice the Endo (8,000) and Kuva (12,000) and 3 Forma instead of one. How to use the shards is explained in Archon Shards: unlock, farm and socket them.

Netracells and Archimedea: Every Monday you get 5 Search Pulses. A Netracell costs 1, Deep and Temporal Archimedea cost 2 each to unlock. Unused Pulses are lost at the reset. The best split is explained in Netracells and Archimedea: weekly endgame loot.

The Circuit: In the normal Circuit you pick one of 3 Warframes each week and earn its parts step by step. On the Steel Path you get an Incarnon Genesis adapter at tier 5 and tier 10 of the reward track. Everything about it in Duviri and the Circuit.

Teshin: His weekly offer changes every Monday in an 8-week cycle: Umbra Forma blueprint (150 Steel Essence), 50,000 Kuva (55), 3 Forma (75), 30,000 Endo (150) and four different Rivens (75 each). On top of that you can buy one Veiled Riven Cipher every week.

• Maroo gives you a parkour mission full of traps once a week. At the end waits an Ayatan Sculpture that changes every week. You can also find the mission in the Alerts window.
• Clem needs help once a week in a 10-minute Survival mission. You get a Clem Clone blueprint for it.
• Kahl-175 waits in the Drifter’s Camp after “Veilbreaker”. His missions give Stock, which you spend at Chipper, for example on Styanax blueprints.
• Bird 3 in the Sanctum Anatomica sells one Archon Shard per week for 30,000 Cavia standing once you reach Cavia rank 5.
• The Descendia is a tower with 21 floors in the Dark Refractory on Deimos. Its challenges and rewards change every Monday.

Baro Ki’Teer is a vendor who only shows up every two weeks. He arrives at a Relay on Friday and stays for 48 hours. He sells rare mods, cosmetics and more for credits and Orokin Ducats. You get Ducats for spare Prime parts. Every Ducat kiosk in the Relays shows which Relay he will visit. More in Baro Ki’Teer and Ducats.

Short on time? With this plan you get the most out of every day:

1. 01

   Log in and check the Foundry (2 min)

   Claim the login reward. Collect finished builds from the Foundry and start the next Forma right away.

2. 02

   Check Nightwave (1 min)

   Look at the open daily tasks. You finish many of them on the side once you know them. They stay open for 3 days.

3. 03

   One short mission that counts (10 min)

   Play two Steel Path Incursions for 10 Steel Essence. Without the Steel Path, do a Bounty or a mission for your main Syndicate instead.

4. 04

   Spend standing (2 min)

   Buy something useful from your Syndicate or rank up before you hit the standing maximum of your rank.

For the week, a simple order works when time is short:

• 1. Archon Hunt: the only guaranteed shard every week.
• 2. Teshin’s weekly offer, Palladino and Bird 3: only takes a minute.
• 3. Steel Path Circuit, if an Incarnon adapter you want is on offer.
• 4. Netracells and Archimedea, once you are strong enough.
• 5. Everything else as you like.
