Like in the title I’m a new player and just looking for some advice. Back in 2018 when discord offered game I played then but really on started the fortuna quest and ofc the earth dungeons to get there. I just did the fortuna quest where thursby becomes legs and then a few dungeon quests. I also let the impulsive thoughts win and bought the gauss warframe and have been having fun with it :). I also got 3 relics from defending a cryopod, look like mossy orbs but I opened them when a mission had this swooshy icon over it (idk how to describe it) and I collected 10 rift thingys each to open them. I have no idea what I did but I got blueprints so I’m assuming I did something right

But any friendly tips? Is there any particular area (like free roam vs dungeons) I should be focusing on. Is there more than one story quest line per planet In free roam like the one with the iron rose in the box on earth or the aforementioned fortuna quest

I’m just kinda going from place to place progressing though dungeons but I lost and just feel like I’m kinda stumbling forward in the dark with no goal other than just go here and give em the ol swish swish stab stab bow l chicka bow wow

Edit: forgot to mention back when I briefly played in 2018 through discord I played Sayrin to Sayron, the disease or fungus idk one simply because poison damage seemed nice among other obvious reasons, but is she any good to play compared to gauss prime

    Ok thanks for the advice

    So using the same weapons and frame (like my gauss prime) is generally bad

    But my focus should just be progressing across a planet

    And as for this

    For a while, you should try to make sure every mission you do is in service to at least one of getting new warframes, weapons or companions, progressing your star chart by completing new missions (especially those which lead to a junction to a new planet) or progressing a quest. Additionally, during each mission you do, you should try to be leveling new warframes, weapons and companions, as many as you can while still completing the missions.

    Wdym like getting Warframe blueprints or what

      At the core I mean don’t run a mission to just run a mission, have a reason. Ask yourself “why am I running this mission?” If you can’t answer with something related to a quest, progressing your star chart or building a new frame or weapon (blueprint or materials), that mission might not be a good use of your time at the moment.

        Well yes and no, in the end they will have to clear every star chart node to progress so that is also an option as the reason, even if there is no specific progress towards a frame or weapon.

          Ah makes sense

          So is there anything that will let me progress towards getting new weapons or is it like getting new Warframes (and their parts) where it will be obvious

            A good tip for weapons is to check out the market tab in game, go to the weapons section and sort by only show with blueprint available. It will show a good number of weapons where you can get the blueprint for credits and you can check if you have the necessary resources to build it in advance.

            Otherwise, you will unlock blueprints for weapons during missions and quests. Also look on YouTube how the relic system works, that will explain how you get prime warframes and weapons.

              Alright. Thanks. So basically just like I’ve gotten frame blueprints from those free roam missions o can do the same with weapons right. Or I could just buy the blueprints from the market is what your saying

                As a new player you will mostly get new weapons blueprints from the market because they are generally cheap to craft and you won’t have to worry about grinding blueprints/parts drops.

                You can also get some weapons as drops but just like with Warframes, there is usually one part that you will basically not get by accident because of its low drop rates.

      No it’s not necessarily bad, it’s a game after all and you should enjoy playing it. However, to progress and unlock all content you will need to level a decent amount of weapons and frames for the mastery. So try to get new frames/weapons as you’re progressing through the blinking nodes & the story quests. If you enjoy the new frame or weapon, continue using them, if not then just go back to one you enjoy, but try to always max the frames/weapons level before moving on.
