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

    If you’re interested, I can invite you to my clan and help you progress ingame. The best goal for new players to have is to unlock more planets. The planets are connected with junctions that each have a list of challenges to complete before you unlock the next planet. The challenges teach you how each planet works, teach you important game mechanics in the order you should learn them, and make sure you’re keeping up on the main story.

    If you’re happy in Fortuna, you could also just hang out there and increase your rep with Solaris United, but open worlds are gonna start getting a bit hard compared to regular missions unless you have a great build. If you progress the star chart, you’ll be introduced to all the ways of making your gear stronger at a good pace. Plus, the main story starts getting really interesting around Uranus and eventually you’ll get far enough in the plot to learn what Warframe is actually about.

      Ok glad to know there is an over arching story.

      As for clans, coming from planetside, do they lean more towards a glorified friends list or actually useful. In planetside you could do things like call in orbital strikes or vehicles discount, basically is there a bonus for being in a clan?

        A lot of weapons and some warframes, plus most archwings, you can only get the blueprints from clan research. My clan has done most of the research but not all. We also have a drydock for your railjack, a crimson branch for trading kuva liches, and a bash lab for your k-drive. Don’t worry, you’re not supposed to know what railjacks and kuva liches are yet, and you won’t be able to get one of either for quite a while. But once you get an archwing, I’d be happy to take you on my railjack.

                  Ooo

                  Also when doing the archwing quest I went to a void portal, some void bomb during the infested bomb part (lotus said stripping all organic life) and the O-something kin and I’m so confused

                  Is there a part I missed or is this stuff just dropped out of nowhere

                    The Orokin were a powerful and opulent empire thousands of years ago. You’re actually from the Orokin era, and so are your warframes, but you’ve lost your memory from all that time in cryosleep and you don’t know much about them anymore. You know more than an average joe, but that’s not saying much because the average joe knows next to nothing except that they left behind a bunch of ruins. Ordis is in the same boat as you, he’s an Orokin era cephalon, but most of his memory is corrupted. If you keep going on the main quest, you might just learn some of the secrets of the Orokin, and what the hell happened that caused their empire to fall. It had something to do with a great war, you know that much, but you don’t know who the war was against. Nobody does, except maybe the Lotus.
