Contents
1. Can I have the list of all acronyms / glossary / terms / short names in the game?
These are the glossary or terms used in trading and recruiting:
• H: Host
• LF: Looking For
• WTB: Want To Buy
• WTS: Want To Sell
• WTT: Want To Trade

And these are short names for mission types or game modes:
• Hj: Hijack
• Res: Rescue
• Cap: Capture
• Sab: Sabotage
• Int: Interception
• S / Sur: Survival
• Def / D: Defense
• Exca: Excavation
• As / A: Assassinate
• MD: Mobile Defense
• AW / Arch: Archwing
• Ex / Ext: Exterminate

Other glossary and acronyms:
• Dmg = Damage
• DS = Dark Sector
• PC = Price Check
• AoE = Area of Effect

2. How do I apply those glossary, acronyms or terms in the game?
"W" is the least using term of all, so you can just ignore it. You can apply "H" and "LF" in the Recruit channel, for example:

H > Def missions (I'm hosting defense missions)
LF > Void missions (I'm looking for void missions)

You can also change the mission type to fit your need. For trade, apply the same with "WTB", "WTS" and "WTT" in Trade channel, for example:

WTB > Frost P Chasis (I want to buy Frost Prime Chasis)
WTS > Forst P Sys (I want to sell Frost Prime System)
WTT > Braton P for Boltor P (I want to trade Braton Prime for Boltor Prime)

3. What is ODD, ODE, ODA, Void, Dojo?
• ODD/E/A: Is an acronyms for Orokin Derelict Defense / Exterminate / Assassinate. It's named Orokin Derelict (OD) or sometimes just Derelict and the word after OD is just the mission type. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

• Void: Is the same thing as Orokin Derelict - the complete name is Orokin Void or Orokin Towers, the only difference between this and Derelict is that it doesn't have Infested plague all over the place. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

• Dojo Is the clan house, family house or whatever you'd call it. Dojo is just the place where people in the clan hanging out, meeting each other, entertain themselves, contribute, research and buy exclusive clan stuffs. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].[/list]

4. What's the difference among Clan, Alliance, Syndicate, Faction?
I will just describe this in a simpler way for you to understand. Since it kinda complicated if you think about it.

• Clan: Is another term for family (household to be correct) in our modern day words. As the name suggest, if you have friends and other want to live with you under the same house, you would call it a household or a clan to be specific. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com]

• Alliance: If multiple clan agree to a specific terms, then later they will form into a bigger group and become an Alliance. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

• Syndicate: Is complicated, it's kinda like a group of nomads doesn't obey or follow any rule of their own faction, they wasn't an alliance nor a faction themselves. They have their own agenda and purposes, they're just like a company - simply making money and profit themselves. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

• Faction: or you could call it "nations" that dominate our solar system, we have 5 difference faction from Tenno, Grineer, Corpus, Infested to Orokin. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

5. What is Keyshare?
It's basically does exactly what it sound like, sharing your voids, bosses or other key with others but in a more "advanced way" than just hosting. To be specific, 4 player in the team must have the same key in order to do this keyshare and also to do the mission.

The explanation is simple, instead of hosting only 1 game with your own key and carry the risk that your mission may fail and you lost your key for nothing or just looking for them and offer keyshare in the first place so all of you can do it 4 times and benefits everyone.

6. What is mod, build, craft, foundry?
• Mod: Is actually a different term for "upgrade" in the game. Upgrade your warframes and weapons by adding upgrade-cards (mods). Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

• Build: Is mean the way you mod or upgrade your items. Like what mod you add, what mod you remove, build a stealthy style warframe or build a tanky style warframe. You can build many style of combat in one warframe by using different mods.

• Foundry: Is a section in your ship, where you can craft and built your stuffs. Click for more[warframe.wikia.com].

• Craft: Or crafting or built is one of the feature in the game, you use rescources you collect from missions and bosses and then a blueprint of the item you wanted to have in order to craft it.

7. What is fast Nova or slow Nova?
Nova is a warframe (character) in game. The term "fast" and "slow" is use to describes the Nova mods or build.

• Slow Nova: is just a pretty standard / normal Nova build. With buff from mod that makes enemy go really really slow if it get caught in the AoE of the skill.

• Fast Nova: is use in most Infested defense missions because a negative mod that will make Infested units run faster than their normal speed to the cargo / cryopod / objective so players can wipe them out faster and easier with their AoEs weapon or skill.

This is really good guide, but I would like to see "What is potato?" and "What is Prime?"

BTW I know what prime and potato is.

@Blueraid: It weren't missing. I did not include it because... it just the same thing as I already explain how it call and the mission type behind the glossary and other stuff in #3 and I also linked a article from Warframe wiki for the people (like you for example) who want to know more.

ODS and ODSab were missing.. yet I hardly see request for those (even tho most do ODS for keys or that burston prime part.) and ODSabotage is more or less painful (some might find caches rewarding. you know what I mean? :Excalibur:) thanks to already high difficulty level (30 ish)

@ALL: This is bad, I don't know what happen to the code, I remove all code and rewrite but still bug, I don't know what happen. Everything is just fucked up and out of order.

Well, it just seemed that it would be helpful for any new players who see this guide. But I understand your view. Thanks for the response!

you miss PC = price check, for asking the price of something

@Jeffedhuang, @Shade: Sorry to disappoint you guys but this wasn't a gameplay guide or any close to that. If the contents you looking for wasn't here, I'm sure you can find it in other places for example in Warframe forum.

This guide only about knowledges in the game, not gameplay or tips.

Maybe include the basic elemental combos that help against factions (ex: radiation and viral= GOOD vs Grineer)?
