Idk how people get up to speed with warframe. I played it during beta for a bit, then for a couple years until they introduced Rivens. Coming back after a long break to Plains, Eidolons, Arcanes, Venus, Deimos, Duviri, Sorties, Arena, Conclave, Index, etc. I'm so lost these days lol
Try to prioritize unlocking steel path and finding a load out that works there so you can start accumulating resources faster.
Imo SP isn't that important. If you just play the game normally you'll have a massive surplus of most resources excluding edge-cases like tellurium, hexenon, and mutagen samples (if going for hema). Faster faction rep is nice, but you're also capped anyway, and ime the SP bounties in the open worlds are so much slower until you really take off that it's not even usually worth it (disregarding entirely that randos in public lobbies will generally do a much worse job). Acolyte arcanes and more arcane adaptors are nice, as are incarnon adapters, but you can easily get by even late-game with more easily accessible ones like the Laetum.
true, the SP bounties aren't worth it (except in 1999 i think). still best to SP everything else you can just because having tons of steel essence and duplicate arcanes to melt is never going to be something you regret.
Yeaaaaaaaaaah I can see it, I quit shortly after Fortuna came out so none of the modes were too far out there from what I knew at the time. I mostly just went through the quests and looked up where to get the new warframes on the wiki, then would engage with that content until I got the frame which was usually enough to become passably familiar with it. In a way, it's nice that the content drops are so siloed off because it means you can go do all of the eg Railjack content and can just focus on that until you're done.
On the other hand, if you wanted to get caught up so you could actually play the newest event that was active until like a week ago, it meant doing like 20 hours of narrative quests in a row.
