While not technically a new player, I might as well be. I played back when Loki was my starter frame, and I don’t remember the planets being locked on the star chart. I have started over on a fresh account to try to learn the game, but holy cow there’s so much going on I am completely overwhelmed.
Do I need to really learn the following systems? Can I ignore any of these until later on, or do I need to focus on some now?
Railjack
Archwing
Void Keys
Fishing
Mining
Building my own weapons/pets/robot companions
Levelling up my Tenno powers
Conclave PVP
Riven mods
Trying to figure all this out while getting mastery ranks to unlock more trades and new weapons is a lot of mental overhead. Also, will there be stuff in the lategame that is more challenging and requires me to actually upgrade stuff? It’s pretty easy so far.
The most important thing to learn early on is that EVERYTHING you need in this game can be gotten without platinum. Perhaps not right when you need it, but you can get it.
Also: spend ALL your starting platinum on slots. A warframe slot and weapon slots.
And Void Keys are no longer a thing
Many times the best way to “farm” an item is to farm the plat itself and buy it from another player. I would learn to use tools like warframe.market and AlecaFrame to help.
