Of course there's going to be a moment where a DE programmer has one too many drinks while working and makes a riven challenge where you have to get 15 finishers on demolysts without taking damage with a dragon key equipped or something. It would be removed a few days later of course but I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. Welcome to the Forum Archive! Years of conversation fill a ton of digital pages, and we've kept all of it accessible to browse or copy over. Whether you're looking for reveal articles for older champions, or the first time that Rammus rolled into an 'OK' thread, or anything in between, you can find it here.

1. The 'I'm a noob and don't know anything about riven mods' guide to riven mods V 1.1 By つ ◕_◕ ༽つ.
2. PART I What is a Riven Mod?
3. Read This : http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Riven_Mods
4. TL;DR Riven mods are mods with random stats, up to 4
5. Where do you get rivens?
6. -Trades
7. -Harrow/Gara/Octavia 's quest gives a meelee/Shotgun/Rifle mod on completion if you bought the respective frames before finishing the quest
8. PART II 'Opening' a riven mod
9. At first, riven mods are locked behind challenges which you need to unlock to obtain the riven stats. most of them are simple but there are also challenges which seems hard at first, but are easily cheeseable. Here are some tips:
10. -Kill [x] with headshots while gliding => Use Limbo, Cata/Stasis, aim the head and shoot with projectile weapons (Bows comes to mind). Aim Glide and release Stasis. Do keep in mind you might miss even when you aim right, so just to be sure shoot at more than 3 targets. No Limbo? Use other frames with CC abilities ( slow, root, sleep, etc.) and use high fire rate weapons or weapons that has high piercing capabilities.
11. -Complete a solo interception mission with level 30 or higher enemies with a Hobbled Dragon Key equipped. => this is a tricky one. movement speed is reduced but other than that (titania's razorwing, glide, jumping,etc.) still works. Doing an infested interception (Xini, Eris) is the best IMO, but do wherever you want
12. -Complete a defense mission with level 30 or higher enemies without the defense objective taking any damage. => Frost or limbo if you're feeling insecure.
13. -Complete an extermination mission with level 30 or higher enemies without being detected. => you can finish this by having a friend and let them finish the exterminate while you go hide, else just go use invisible frames.
14. -Get [10-20] kills in a row while wall dashing or wall clinging without touching the floor. => frame abilities works too, you know what to do
15. -Complete a survival mission with level 30 or higher enemies without killing anyone. => using Ivara and prowl is the best pacifist solution to this one.
16. -Synthesize a Simaris target without using traps or abilities while having a Hobbled Dragon Key equipped. => the hardest of them all. Additional challenges includes not taking damage, not using any abilities, or being alone. being alone and not taking damage is cheeseable with invisible frames or Limbo. On the other hand, Not using any abilities is troublesome so you're better off using tanky frames (inaros,nidus, etc.) or Nezha for the increased mobility.
17. -Catch one Fish, Mine one gem or metal, and kill one enemy in 30 seconds. => The Grineer Camp at Er-Phryah's Vigil is a solid choice. Lots of ores to mine, there's a pond for fishes and being a Grineer base means lots of Grineer.
18. -Kill X wild animals with a fishing spear. => Might take a while on the plains due to the spawn rate of animals. Feral Kubrows and Kavats counts as wild animals if you are having a hard time on the plains. Just bring volt and charge your damage to max. If you insist on clearing this one on the plains, i suggest using harrow as his Condemn (1st skill) locks the animals in place without damaging them. Fishes doesn't count so don't get your hopes up.
19. -Land X consecutive headshots while in Archwing mode in the Plains of Eidolon. => Using Amesha or Itzal is recommended as Tusk Hellions or Vruush Turrets can force you out of Archwing mode because of the missiles.
20. -Kill X Dargyn Pilots before they hit the ground. => Mesa's Peacemaker is preferred here because of her auto-hit mechanic. Other frames like Ember and Mag is less effective because of their range.
21. -Destroy X Dargyns with a bow. => The Dargyns in kuva fortress counts but not the ones on Archwing missions. Simply go to Koro (Assault) in Kuva Fortress, there will be several Dargyns shooting at you at the start of the mission.
22. -Kill 3 Airborne Condrocs within 5 seconds. => A bit tricky. Having an Archwing helps in finding a flock, especially Itzal.
23. Do note there are other challenges not listed here, such as killing enemies that are on a dropship, due to the reason that they are straightforward and easily completed.
24. PART III Stats
25. And we have arrived at the most important part, stats. A riven mod consists of 2-4 Mods, with a possible combination of 2-3 stats being positive and 1 stats being negative. The numbers on the riven depends on the disposition of the weapon, the more the better the numbers. You can see the full list here : http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Riven_Mods/AllWeapons
26. As for the list of status on the rivens themselves:
27. Mods Tier Notes
28. Ammo Maximum 5 Useless on every weapon , unless you want to use primed chamber or doesn't use Vacuum
29. Channeling Efficiency 5
30. Finisher Damage 5 Finisher damage is usually too high you don't need a mod for it
31. Zoom 5 Avoid positive at all cost
32. Damage vs. Corpus 4 You're better off using other damage boosts unless you're using a certain faction build
33. Damage vs. Grineer 4 You're better off using other damage boosts unless you're using a certain faction build
34. Damage vs. Infested 4 You're better off using other damage boosts unless you're using a certain faction build
35. Status Duration 4
36. Flight Speed 4 Only available on projectile type weapons
37. Impact Damage 3
38. Puncture Damage 3
39. Electric Damage 2
40. Fire Rate / Attack Speed 2
41. Critical Chance (CC) 1 Works best on critical weapons (>=20% critical chance)
42. Critical Chance on Slide Attack 1 Basically maiming strike
43. Critical Damage (CD) 1 Works best on critical weapons (>=20% critical chance)
44. Status Chance 1 Works best on status weapons and an elemental mod (>=20% status chance)
45. Base Damage 0
46. Range 0
47. Legend:
48. 4 => A specific situational mod. Okay to get minus.
49. 3 => Situational but powerful on specific weapons. For IPS you can get a minus on the lowest damage type to avoid a big loss of DPS
50. or go for the highest one to change the primary damage type.
51. 2 => Powerful mods and a nice addition to every weapon.
52. 1 => A Situational and recommended mod. Always get if possible
53. Do note that these points are from my POV. Feel free to adjust to your liking. The lower the point the better for it to be negative
54. You can also choose to reroll your riven mod if it's not to your liking, witha fixed cost of kuvas, depending on how many times you have rerolled (you can see on the lower right of your riven), with the costs as follows:
55. 1 900
56. 3 1200
57. 5 1700
58. 7 2350
59. 9 3150
60. The price is fixed at 3500 once you have rerolled 10+
61. PART IV Builds
62. Due to the nature of rivens, there are some possible builds that could work only with rivens. An example of this is a critical Ignis Wraith with a +CC mod. How this works is that rivens are more effective than normal mods like point strike and argon scope, and stackable with them, allowing you to use weapons with build that are impossible without rivens.
63. There are several conditions to consider when making a certain build with a riven :
64. -Critical-based builds : At least 15% critical chance not including a +cc riven (20-25% without critical chance on your riven) to easily proc criticals and at least 2x critical damage without a riven
65. -Status-based weapons : At least 15% Status chance (20-25% without status chance on your riven) not including a +sc riven to consistently proc status chance.
66. -Pure elemental only weapons : No physical (IPS/Impact Puncture Slash) damage on riven. Global damage is fine.
67. -Melee : +Range is preferrable on
68. PART V Prices
69. So you're opening the trade chat tab, wanting to sell your riven, but don't know about the price? You've come to the right place!
70. But first, read this https://forums.warframe.com/topic/754592-a-guide-to-riven-value/
71. Done? Good.
72. Didn't read it? you should. If you still haven't read it, basically what you do is you list a riven and just ask for offers. From there you can get a general sense of things. If you're still confused :
73. - Shit mods (+zoom, -Base damage and so on) goes for <100p
74. - Unveiled mod goes for roughly 40/40/80/40 (rifle/secondary/shotgun/melee)as of this guide
75. - Good mods (low tier weapon but good mods and the opposite) goes for 200-400p
76. - perfect mods goes for +600p
77. Will be updated as needed
78. Version Date Description
79. V 1.1 03/04/2018 Guide updated with Plains of Eidolon challenges,a few tweaks, and a build section.

Aura mods:

NOTE:Aura mods increase amount of total mod-slots available to mod with on your warframe if the Polarity is matching the polarity your warframe have (can be changed by forma) – it actually doubles the capacity of the aura mod so if you have say 7 capacity on your aura mod, you GAIN 14 extra mod capacity for your warframe – hence the importance of matching polarities on aura mod slot.

Also note that Aura mods such as Corrosive Projection as well as Shield Disrupt and Energy Siphon are auras that stack within a group – if all have it they all stack with each other!

Corrosive Projection is a must-have for all missions vs. higher-level enemies that you need to kill – if all in team has it basically removes all their armor making them so much easier to kill.

Energy Siphon is useful for Passive energy regeneration – I personally think its useful for Spy missions when I go Loki and don’t want to run out so easily of energy.

Augmentation mods:

NOTE:All augmentation mods platinum prices on warframe.market seem to be around 15 plat on the day of writing the article, and all augmentation mods cost 25k standing with syndicates.

There probably are a lot more useful augmentation mods – but these are the ones we have used quite a lot ourselves so far – feel free to give us suggestions to our email however if you wish us to extend this list :) Keep in mind that the mods you suggest should preferably serve a useful purpose – all but chromatic blade above help groups to farm in one way or another.
