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. I’m currently working on the mercury junction (or whatever comes after Venus) is this something I should be expecting to see soon or later down the line

      Yes. Basically, don’t worry about them too much, because I think you’re still supposed to primarily get orokin catalyst and reactors (what I called cells earlier, but orokin cells are actually just a component for those) from the shop (although there are a few ways to get them for free nowadays IIRC). But if you see an alert with one of these as a reward, you should definitely get on it. If you don’t know what to do with them you can just stockpile them

        Alright I’m definitely gonna take a look at the wiki tho so I can decipher what the items are and how to stock pile them like you said lol

            Oh thanks for the link. Alerts are like events like those void relic opener things. Or am I getting them mixed up with something else

            Also on that not sometimes I get nothing other than the normal crafting components like on a normal mission when I equip a relic to open, is that something I’m doing wrong or just poor rng

              The void relic thing are void fissures, I think there’s always one going on somewhere in the star chart, but I think they can also pop up as alerts.

              If you have equipped a relic and it didn’t open, don’t worry because it’s not lost. You only lose the relic when you actually open it. If it didn’t work it’s because you didn’t collect enough reactant to open it before the end of the timer/mission. There should be a mission objective tracking this on the left of the screen during the mission, that says “reactant collected x/10”.
