Level 30 Nightwave: What Happens Next in Warframe’s Pirate Radio
Reaching level 30 in Warframe’s Nightwave is a significant milestone! Congratulations, Tenno, you’ve powered through the challenges set forth by the enigmatic Nora Night. But what happens once you hit that max rank? Simple: instead of unlocking new ranks, you’ll start earning Nora’s Creds with each subsequent 10,000 XP gained. These Creds are a special currency you can exchange for valuable rewards in the Nightwave Cred Offerings store.
Digging Deeper: Life Beyond Rank 30
Think of reaching Rank 30 as less of an end and more of a turning point. You’ve demonstrated your dedication and skill, and Nora appreciates that. Now, it’s time to reap the rewards of your efforts.
The primary purpose of earning Nora’s Creds after Rank 30 is to acquire sought-after items that enhance your Warframe experience. These items range from essential resources like Nitain Extract to powerful Aura Mods and even Orokin Catalysts and Reactors that can drastically improve your gear.
Consider it an ongoing reward system – the more you play and complete Nightwave Acts (challenges), the more Creds you earn, and the more you can acquire from Nora’s store. It’s a continuous cycle of progression and reward, ensuring that your efforts within the Nightwave system are always worthwhile.
Maximizing Your Post-Rank 30 Rewards
To make the most of your Nora’s Creds, it’s important to understand the value of different offerings. Here’s a quick breakdown of what to prioritize:
- Aura Mods: These are game-changers. Corrosive Projection, Steel Charge, and Energy Siphon are particularly valuable and can significantly impact your team’s effectiveness. Get these first.
- Nitain Extract: A resource needed for many crafting recipes. This is an evergreen offering.
- Orokin Catalysts/Reactors: Essential for doubling the mod capacity of your Warframes and weapons. If you don’t have enough, these are excellent choices.
- Cosmetics: New armor sets and special sigils make a great addition to show off to the team.
- Kuva: This is typically a later choice once other things are acquired since Kuva is available elsewhere.
Remember to keep an eye on the Nightwave Cred Offerings each week, as the available items can change, providing fresh opportunities to acquire the resources and mods you need.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Nightwave
Here are some frequently asked questions, designed to equip you with more knowledge about Nightwave:
How do I claim my Nightwave rewards?
Rewards for reaching new ranks are automatically added to your inventory upon reaching a rank. However, to spend your Nora’s Creds, you need to access the Nightwave Cred Offerings store, located within the Nightwave screen in your Orbiter. Then, just purchase the items you want from the store.
Can I do old Nightwave Acts?
Yes, recovered Acts are possible. Once you have fewer than three active weekly Acts to complete, Nora will make older missed Acts available. You can recover three missed Acts at a time. Once you have completed all of them, they will no longer appear until the next week.
How do I increase my Nightwave rank?
You increase your Nightwave rank by completing Acts (challenges) set by Nora Night. These Acts reward you with Standing, and every 10,000 Standing earns you a rank.
Can you buy Nightwave levels?
No, you cannot buy Nightwave levels. Progress is earned through gameplay by completing the Acts set by Nora. This ensures a fair and engaging experience for all players.
How often does Nightwave reset?
Nightwave Weekly and Elite Weekly Acts change on Monday 0:00 UTC. Nightwave Cred Offerings also change on Monday 0:00 UTC. This keeps the challenges fresh and provides new opportunities for progression.
Can you only get Nitain Extract from Nightwave?
While Nightwave is the most reliable and readily available source of Nitain Extract, it can also be found in certain alerts and bounties, though at a much lower drop rate. Nightwave is generally the fastest way to acquire it.
What are Nightwave Acts?
Acts are the challenges that Nora Night sets for you each week. These can range from simple tasks like completing a certain number of missions to more complex objectives like defeating specific enemies. Completing Acts earns you Standing, which progresses your Nightwave rank.
What should I use Nightwave Cred Offerings on?
As mentioned before, prioritize Aura Mods, Nitain Extract, and Orokin Catalysts/Reactors. Once you have those covered, you can consider cosmetics, weapon blueprints, and other useful items.
How do you get Nora’s mix cred?
You earn Nora’s Creds by ranking up in the Nightwave system. Initially, you receive 150 Creds upon reaching your first rank. After reaching Rank 30, every subsequent 10,000 Standing earned grants you a further amount of Creds.
What does tuning in to Nightwave do?
Tuning into Nightwave, through the Orbiter’s radio or the main menu, allows you to view your current rank, available Acts, and the Cred Offerings store. It’s your hub for everything Nightwave.
Where to start Nightwave?
You can access Nightwave from your Orbiter’s Navigation console, the main menu, or by interacting with the radio scanner to the right of the ramp.
Does Conjunction Survival count for Nightwave?
Conjunction Survival does NOT count as survival for completing Nightwave Acts. Make sure you are on a survival that states survival.
What happens when you reach level 30 Nightwave?
You stop ranking up and start earning Nora’s Creds upon achieving Standing in the Nightwave system. You can use these Creds to buy various things.
How many Nightwave missions can you recover?
Once the player has fewer than 3 current weekly Acts left to complete, any missed Acts from previous weeks will be available and marked as Recovered, three at a time. Once all missed Acts have been completed, they will no longer appear, and any further Acts can be recovered in the future week rotations.
How rare is Nitain Extract?
Nitain Extract is most easily available through Nightwave. Ghoul Purge bounties will sometimes offer Nitain Extract as a reward with a more than four percent drop rate.
