Saryn, purely due to how the frames are accessed.
Mirage is acquired through a quest you’ll do at some point anyway, Saryn is from a slightly annoying boss to run in Sedna (requires you to do arena points to gain points which can then be spent to access the fight).
Just generally, if in doubt, pick the one that is hardest to get.
100% as I probably will never need more platinum ever.
I’m sitting on a stockpile of relic parts and I can just… sell some off should I need some.
You are correct.
If you’re not player #1 (as in, the one that gets waypoint #1 when placing a waypoint/marker) and the bounty is done, you can safely extract with the button without fucking over anyone.
I don’t like Reddit, so here I am instead.
No.
Either trade for it (and if you’re worried about received plat being illegitimate, make sure to not spend all your plat for a while) or buy it from DE.
Yeah?
Focus on a couple of things at a time and figure out what stuff you can trade for.
Personally, I made a spreadsheet for tracking all of this and I used the in-game profile and foundry (once I had the BP of something) to keep track of what I was missing.
However many it needs.
If I’m dealing with a weapon with riven, I might go for 5-7 so that I get some flexibility. Usually up to 4 for non-riven.
Frames is a more by-use basis. I generally play mostly with prime frames so I will always consider an aura forma, I have a bunch. Then I just start using the frame and as I notice things I want to change to make the frame better, until I stop noticing what could be better. Typically I end up with forma’ing frames up to 3 times, the most extreme being… 7? I think I made a mistake on that one at some point and ended up undoing it, but I’m not sure.
