He provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to access and complete the quest via the official website, which involves logging in, choosing a 'vessel,' and completing a series of simple in-game missions.

Transcript

New Warframe side best just dropped. With all the excitement from the dev stream yesterday, you may have missed that Warframe put out a little mini side quest on their website to get us excited about the Taobao event that we're gonna be getting in October. Head over to the Warframe website. Make sure that you're logged in on the account that you play on. You'll go to warframe.com/en/cowbound. And once you're here, you're gonna pick a vessel. It doesn't matter which vessel you pick. And then once you do, you'll be given a task to complete in the game. The first one up is no kill boar. And once you've done that, come back and hit refresh. It'll mark it as completed and move on to the next one. These are super easy missions that you can do on the normal star chart. It doesn't take much time at all. I think I did this whole thing in about ten minutes. And once you've completed every single mission and you've gone back to the website and hit finish, you'll be taken to the Tau page on Warframe. So if you haven't gotten caught up on Tau and missed some updates, you can scroll down and get all the information that you need to make sure you're all caught up by the time we hit October 15. And then a message will be delivered to your inbox in game, and you open it up, and you best yourself an Anoria. I know this isn't the most flashy reward, but if you're newer to Warframe, they do these kind of side quests every so often with the release of updates like this. So make sure you keep an eye out for this because sometimes there's cool things like boosters, color palettes, or like this, an anoria that you can wear on your profile. And Taobao is a new sentient themed event that will be dropping October 15 that they just announced at the dev stream, and I hope that you're looking forward to it as much as I am.
