Earth

"A desolate, ruined world. Home of the oppressive Grineer Empire."

- In-game description

 is a planet under Grineer control, and is the first planet players can access, before Mercury after completion of the Vor's Prize Quest.

The Assassination Target for Earth is Councilor Vay Hek, located in the mission Oro. Vay Hek drops the blueprints for the parts of the Hydroid Warframe. A Mastery Rank of 5 or higher is required to access the boss mission.

Earth is the only planet to feature the Grineer Forest Tileset, as well as the new Orokin Moon tileset after completion of The Second Dream.

Every four hours, the forest tileset will change from day to night, mimicking the day cycles in real life. The change will feature different vegetation that can be scanned for extracts that are used to craft Antitoxins, with Sunlight variants during the day and Moonlight variants at night.

As of, some new nodes on Earth use the Orokin Moon tileset, those nodes can only be accessed if the player has completed the quest The Second Dream.

Enemies
''Invasion Missions: The Infested will always appear as an "Opposing" faction during Invasion missions.  Sentient enemies exclusively appear on the Orokin Moon tileset.''

Tips

 * Earth is the easiest place to farm Neurodes, with a large amount of low leveled enemies, excellent for longer farming runs.
 * This in addition to having Battalysts and Conculysts, who have a higher than average chance to drop neurodes.
 * Excavation on Lua is a good place to farm Tower II and Tower III Void Keys, finishing 3 excavations, leaving, and repeating.

Trivia
