Best place to get Quickening in Warframe
The best place to get or farm for Quickening in Warframe is to play the Defection node, Memphis, on Phobos. It has the highest percent chance of granting you the mod. The mission level is also 15 to 25 (115 to 125 on Steel Path).
If you don’t like the Defection mode, then the next place to farm for Quickening would be any of the Dark Sector Survival missions which are the following:
- Ceres – Gabii
- Jupiter – Cameria
- Mars – Wahiba
- Phobos – Zeugma
- Saturn – Piscinas
- Venus – Malva
These are all C-rotation rewards, meaning you have to survive in intervals of 20 minutes to have an 11.28% chance of getting the mod.
How much does Quickening cost?
If farming for this is too much of a hassle for you, this mod can be purchased from other players in the trade chat. Quickening will cost you around 15 platinum from other players. That number can fluctuate depending on who you talk to, but 15 is the average price it goes for in the market.
What does Quickening do?
Quickening is a dual-stat mod that increases your melee attack speed by 40% and gives you a 20% combo count chance. This is really strong, since it can replace your attack speed mod like Fury or Berserker Fury and increases the lethality of your melee at a fast rate.
With the 20% combo count chance, it ramps up bonuses to mods like Weeping Wounds and Blood Rush a lot quicker. As previously mentioned about the Deep Archimedea modes, this can help take on the level 250+ enemies with ease with the right setup.
