Honestly this series is gonna be a godsend not just for new players, but for people like me that stopped playing 2 years ago and have completely forgotten everything about it.
Yeah I came back a few months ago after a long hiatus and even though I already know most of the content in these videos, I still find new tips here and there and the videos are also helping a friend of mine get through a lot of early game.
I know the balance between "quest walkthrough" and "aw hell, lost the plot" is hard to strike, but I'm enjoying the way you're doing it right now. If I was new, I would not know what exactly is going on in the story, but to me it feels like "soft spoilers" enough to get people intrigued. We get to see the fun bits, we get the occasional goofy moment (the meek little "understood :(" killed me- oh I typed this before "Helloo, I am 50 Solaris." Wheeze), but things still move along at a nice pace And I like that despite keeping a reasonable pace, you let the characters speak their piece when it's particularly relevant, it comes across as treating the story with respect even when you've seen it all before Also, gosh that Fortuna intro. I had already seen the video of it many times by the time I played the game myself, but seeing and hearing it in the game itself still gave me chills. It still does. I miss good old purple Fortuna And thank you again for the high quality subtitles :)
Smart of them to give you the mods necessary to crwate magnetic just before going to Venus. That junction gives you quite the power boost. First aura mod and first reactor = happy tenno 😃
I'm 5000 hours in and MR 33, but I love this series, so much has changed since 2013 or what most people know the "early days" of Warframe looked like; 2016. And the fact that you explain everything is such a great thing to do! Someone should make a forum post with this and a mod there should pin it imo. It'll be a VERY important source of information if 1999 doesn't change too much. Even I learned something in this Video. I didn't know that enemies have shield gating too, surely they didn't have that 10 years ago and corpus are even with the 95% DR a push over for probably everyone at, or higher then MR8, but it does matter when you nearly don't have any mods! And I'm only 4 minutes in at this point. I love it! Thanks for making this series! ♥
i've seen quite a few 75%, it occurred to me that every time i took a somewhat long of a break and came back i almost always came back to a 50% or higher discount. sort of a welcome back gift to keep me going again.
You know what, I've played this game for 10 years, it's currently running in the background. I'm still watching this, completely glued to the screen. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. A little thing Kengineer doesn't mention about parkour: When you aim-glide hold down crouch/slide button to glide faster.
It depends on things like your activity, region (location), how often you buy platinum with or without a discount, etc. The goal is to keep you paying and paying a lot.
@@عبدالرحمنعبدالله-ز4م Uh yeah, no. I've been playing Warframe for years and never not once ever have I felt like DE is predatory with platinum purchases and I have NO problem supporting the makers of the game I enjoy so much with platinum purchases, especially with the monthly 50% discounts. I think you have Warframe confused with some other games. 🤔
God I love that fortuna intro. It gets me every time. That Baritone voice is just beautiful I was in a party chat and wasn’t aware what was going to happen, so I didn’t silence my friend and he wouldn’t SHUT THE HELL UP. (This is at fortune’s launch)
One thing people should also know is that fortuna drop pods can sometimes have canisters in them as well. So always make sure to fo a double check whenever you do those kind of missions.
Let's go Dan! It's cool to see the new player experience even through the lens of a long time vet like yourself again. I had honestly forgot some of the finer details of the opening of Fortuna and Cetus since I did those on release and that was a while ago now. Fun little trip down memory lane.
8:15 I feel like early game Dark Sectors are decent early game credit farms for new players, which is why I usually tell them to melt down mods for endo. Especially Excavation Dark sectors.
Excavation is a little above a brand new, lonesome Tenno imo. Checking for random trash blueprints is always worthwhile though. Not a fast credit farm, but definitely a good source of credits in a pinch as you accumulate those Harrow parts from relic fissures, or the odd Boar or Gorgon blueprint. And spare frame parts too. And of course, bounties give a pretty large amount of credits and Endo on top of other rewards and standing for other goodies.
@@Joe90h I'm not sure I'd personally recommend Bounties because I feel they can be a bit tedious. You are correct that any duplicate Bps are always nice extra trickle credits, I have had plenty of times where I've forgotten to sell my Harrow Bps and gotten like 250K to nearly 1Mil credits. I only recommend Dark Sectors for credit early game due to the fairly large Bonus Credits you get for completing a Dark Sector(10-20k) on top of mission credits and any credits found in the mission. Given that infested are the weakest faction and early game melee shreds through most enemies they are usually little concern, excluding surprise toxic damage. Excavations are just the most efficient as you can complete the mission in around 2 minutes of less, but any Dark Sector can give decent credits for an early game player.
A note for Sayas Vigil, you MUST be on SOLO PLAY or you cannot progress. This includes Steel Path, even if there's no quest you must go out onto Cetus in SOLO PLAY.
I'm not sure why i had it on but the subtitles for the video are really nice. Also great to see another video part of this series, always fun to watch experienced players start over.
Seeing the original Cetus and Fortuna just make me sad that they're now permanently scarred by the leftover Narmer parts. You'd think the Solaris at least would have cut them apart to sell for scrap by now.
It is funny to think that the only reason Nef Anyo lives and breathes is because he invests a vast quantity of his fortune in stealth technology so a Tenno can't crash into his ship and turn it into a derelict.
Literally the only thing that sucks about this series is the wait for the next episode. 💀 I love these Vets starting over warframe vids. Almost makes me wish we could have separate save files or something just for funsies without having to make a new account (and the potential risk that comes with that). But cheers for the new ep, the wait for the next entry begins....
An alt account should be safe, if you don't interact with your main account with it, like trading or gifting, or playing both at the same time. I've had 2 alt accounts for a while just to experience the fresh start, and the 2nd alt is for a MR0 limit "playthrough".
Watching these reminds of me wondering about maps for quite some time to explore in general (and to find other routes for spy missions). Just wholesome!
Ah fuck. I just spent over an hour thinking about how incredible Cetus was. Then you opened up Fortuna. Take me back. Take me so far back. I spent so much time here. Bring it BAAACK
Honestly, I returned to my old twink account that I used back before steel path existed, so it was very old. The knowledge really matters. I completed every major quest, crafted a great gear (though Nataruk and Xoris are sooo good for new players). One thing I can advice - level up your Railjack a little before doing New War, it really backfired for me.
Yeah, it has been interesting and fun building my own, because now I actually have an idea how Dojo building works. If you always join clans with completed dojos, there likely isn't room for newjoiners to build things. I've noticed that my main limiter for lab research items is Oxium, Cryotic, and Tellurium (and mutagen samples for Hema). Still have a bunch unresearched until I either accumulate all of those as time goes by, or go on a mad farming spree.
I personally would have picked either 2 or 4 points for the continuity (for all of them, really). You are wasting a point of room whe using continuity on a polarity because fractions are rounded up, and space is always tight, and it's especially tight on a warframe that doesn't have a reactor and isn't even fully leveled. I think this is a very useful habit to get into for the early game. Whenver doing a 5 pip mod, pick 2 or 4 pips. It really helps with being able to fit additional mods into the build.
Any new players, GET GARA. She's a very good frame for defense, and also when you hit her big glass wall with her first ability it explodes scaling with range you can nuke with it very easily.
Wow, I didn't know that. But while I play mostly solo, I'll want to run some public fissures or steel path incursions during the session, so I wouldn't want to toggle it entirely. But definitely good to know for truly solo sessions.
I kiiiiinda wish DE would just remove that dumb once-per-day mastery restriction... even though you can practice, it does seem a bit harsh just for failing a mission.
Railjack is an earlier credit farm that's also a great farm for endo and xp and a billion other things for a proper new player. Won't be helpful on Zero to Hero though.
@TheKengineer at 4:43 you see the computer there in a 1993 theme is that in your main account too? If I have that it's hidden under decorations... o.O gna check it out but lmk if it's for new players or whatever pls ;>
I can't buy from players, but I can sell to them - only commodities (eg not rivens) and only at fair market price. I consider it similar to selling to NPCs in a classic MMO, where you can buy basics but not the real equipment everyone farms and trades for usually.
When Eudico says "Here, take this", by gf gasped "REALLY??" because she though Eudico would give her "gun", as it was so visibly in the frame in that shot. But yeah, instead a story item was deposited in the inventory, which doesn't make as much impact.
Honestly this series is gonna be a godsend not just for new players, but for people like me that stopped playing 2 years ago and have completely forgotten everything about it.

You’re completely right, I played for just over 2 years and then quit as it was too confusing. That was 5 years ago and now Im trying to get back in.
Fortuna's intro is easily one of the best things to have ever happened in gaming history.
Blue Fortuna, my beloved. You are as beautiful as the day I lost you.
I really wish we could get it back somehow

I was hooked the moment you uploaded the first episode. Really excited to see where this goes!

Wait, watched a bit more of the video. No magnetic yet

I love it! Thanks for making this series! ♥
This series has the feel of a classical Let's Play. Absolutely love it.
21:30 - I'm not crying, you're crying.
Yes, and singing along too.
One of the coolest changes for beginners and mods is no more flawed mods anymore.
3:12 - Ken was in such fear of the Corpus displaying an aura of dominance that he missed his first shot. Exactly as planned.
Uploaded 9 seconds ago is crazy xD Love the series as a veteran
i've seen quite a few 75%, it occurred to me that every time i took a somewhat long of a break and came back i almost always came back to a 50% or higher discount. sort of a welcome back gift to keep me going again.
The Saya's Vigil quest is the only time you'll see your orbiter on the plains.

A little thing Kengineer doesn't mention about parkour: When you aim-glide hold down crouch/slide button to glide faster.
I actually never knew the little fact about the unused mod capacity giving more starting energy! I guess you learn something new every day :D
I love the Zero to Hero concept and I'm so happy someone made one for Warframe! Looking forward to more! ♥
I have over 2000 hours in the game and I have NEVER seen that 70% off Platinum sale. I keep waiting. Congratulations to you.
It depends on things like your activity, region (location), how often you buy platinum with or without a discount, etc. The goal is to keep you paying and paying a lot.
@@عبدالرحمنعبدالله-ز4مive gotten them twice without ever spending outside of those 3 discounts
I only buy plat when I get a 75% off and I got that 4-5 times in total i'd say. (I have about 1k hours)
@@عبدالرحمنعبدالله-ز4م Uh yeah, no.

@@ajwalker4416 I’m not making a value judgement.
OK, but did Dan get shivers when witnessing the greatness that is the Fortuna intro? We need to know!
God I love that fortuna intro. It gets me every time. That Baritone voice is just beautiful
I was in a party chat and wasn’t aware what was going to happen, so I didn’t silence my friend and he wouldn’t SHUT THE HELL UP. (This is at fortune’s launch)
I had no idea that extra unused capacity meant more starting energy…. Love this series!!!
18:44 "With the middle mouse button we can select the entire stack at once" IVE BEEN PLAYING FOR HOW MANY YEARS AND DIDNT KNOW THAT?????
One thing people should also know is that fortuna drop pods can sometimes have canisters in them as well. So always make sure to fo a double check whenever you do those kind of missions.
"If I fail this Mastery 1 quest, I might as well delete my channel"
Everyone collectively holding their breath for the unthinkable to happen...
More casual Kengineer content like this is AWESOME. You're my favorite Warframe channel so I welcome any content you can come up with!
Let's go Dan! It's cool to see the new player experience even through the lens of a long time vet like yourself again. I had honestly forgot some of the finer details of the opening of Fortuna and Cetus since I did those on release and that was a while ago now. Fun little trip down memory lane.
Damn, hearing the We all lift together all over again, it brought chills

@shadowofaion7950 As a joke, how dare you cash in your bank of Harrow! It is eternal, it is the Void!
First mission of the day has a credit bonus too, so doing a dark sector as first mission of the day is a really good source, if you do it regularly
Not to mention for people who loathe touching the Index later on.
Everyday is a school day, I didn’t even know there is a fast travel mechanic in the orbiter.
I'm really enjoying this series! What happens for Dan next???
18:45 YOU CAN SELECT ALL WITH THE MIDDLE MPOUSE CLICK?????????? AFTER THOUSANDS OF HOURS HOW HAVE I NOT KNOWN!
A note for Sayas Vigil, you MUST be on SOLO PLAY or you cannot progress. This includes Steel Path, even if there's no quest you must go out onto Cetus in SOLO PLAY.
I honestly didn't dislike the visual bug while it lasted, the T posing was funny as heck.
The greatest login day thats ever lived
I'm not sure why i had it on but the subtitles for the video are really nice. Also great to see another video part of this series, always fun to watch experienced players start over.
Loving this series, it's great to follow along with your progress.
I have over 10k hours in but i have not played for over 2years. This channel keeps me in the loop! Thanks dude!
Please keep these coming! Loving the idea and format
Man it's been forever since I saw that version of Fortuna. Forgot how nice it is.
I love this series 😅 was waiting nonstop for a video lol
I may have to recommend this series to my Warframe fledglings, itt could teach them a lot.
Seeing the original Cetus and Fortuna just make me sad that they're now permanently scarred by the leftover Narmer parts. You'd think the Solaris at least would have cut them apart to sell for scrap by now.
Even after playing the game for a while and know most of the things about the game i still enjoy the series
Very much enjoying this series; it would be a great introductory series for any new Tenno... The power of those log-in rewards!
Man I am LOVING this series! I remember being a wee baby Tenno and this brings back memories (We all lift together is the best song in WF)
It is funny to think that the only reason Nef Anyo lives and breathes is because he invests a vast quantity of his fortune in stealth technology so a Tenno can't crash into his ship and turn it into a derelict.

Man Dan is such a resourfull Tenno he manages he's mods waaayyy better than I do 😂
@5:56 nice plug~ well played sir, very well played
12:46 "If you fall asleep, On Top, I shall be very annoyed" IYKYK
15:09 "well that's ominous" WAS THAT A TEAM FOUR STAR REFERENCE?!
Ah fuck. I just spent over an hour thinking about how incredible Cetus was.
Then you opened up Fortuna.
Take me back.
Take me so far back. I spent so much time here. Bring it BAAACK
Loving this series, hope you keep it going.
Over 3000 hours and I had no idea about that platform on the Corpus tileset.
Dan isn't quite as lonely now.
Honestly, I returned to my old twink account that I used back before steel path existed, so it was very old.
The knowledge really matters. I completed every major quest, crafted a great gear (though Nataruk and Xoris are sooo good for new players).
One thing I can advice - level up your Railjack a little before doing New War, it really backfired for me.
Yay more Dan!
this series inspired me to make my own clan. not too expensive actually!
Yeah, it has been interesting and fun building my own, because now I actually have an idea how Dojo building works. If you always join clans with completed dojos, there likely isn't room for newjoiners to build things. I've noticed that my main limiter for lab research items is Oxium, Cryotic, and Tellurium (and mutagen samples for Hema). Still have a bunch unresearched until I either accumulate all of those as time goes by, or go on a mad farming spree.
Definitely underrated if you enjoy the grind, I love having my own place to manage. And the research/crafting cost remains low for small clans.
Great job! So much nostalgia 😊
frame 1 koumei jumpscare
“50 Solaris in a Yellow Trenchcoat starting saughong about ‘someone set you up the bomb.”’
I *know* this was recent because I recognize those Nightwave quests

Kengineer is playing the long con in that a lot of us are going to send our beginners here
this give me warframe from scratch vibes and i'm all for it
this will be a peak serie, a little bit too many cuts for my taste but still good
Dan Da Dan the man is back at it again!
Any new players, GET GARA.
She's a very good frame for defense, and also when you hit her big glass wall with her first ability it explodes scaling with range you can nuke with it very easily.
Wait hold up! There is a platform over there on that tileset!? I've got over 1500 hours and i never knew!
Can't wait for the next episode!
Why am I staying up to date on this series when i have 1500+ hours
Absulately love that!
Can't wait for episode 3!
Man, this Garuda frame looks interesting, wonder what the lore behind her is.
Bless my soul! Dan was on a roll. 🎶
bruh that blue koumei at the start throw me off for a sec
"hmmm, yes named NPCs."
I'm legendary 4 and I legit had no idea unused warframe mod capacity turns unto extra starting energy what
I can't wait for Dan to get the QTCC rewards!
That traditional stripey effect shader is having major problems right now. Consistent T-posing.
Love this series
I just did a new play through! Free caliban was huuuuge!
that 70 percent is so rare im 100 days in and still dont see it
Hey I'm pretty sure from the launcher you can set up a custom server or session. That way you won't have anyone else showing up in your solo game!
Wow, I didn't know that. But while I play mostly solo, I'll want to run some public fissures or steel path incursions during the session, so I wouldn't want to toggle it entirely. But definitely good to know for truly solo sessions.
im subbing cant wait for ep 3
can't wait for Lavos any% run
Love your videos
I kiiiiinda wish DE would just remove that dumb once-per-day mastery restriction... even though you can practice, it does seem a bit harsh just for failing a mission.
I disagree, the test should have some weight to it, with at least a small fear of failure. There is more time on a later day.
Railjack is an earlier credit farm that's also a great farm for endo and xp and a billion other things for a proper new player. Won't be helpful on Zero to Hero though.
How'd you get equilibrium so soon? Usually comes from Lephantis' heads.
All new players get it now from Vor's Prize.
@@TheKengineer That's huge. What a time to be a new player.
I have >1500 hours in this game. I did not realize you can roll in-air
wish instead of enemy highlighting it was like wow outlined mode
@TheKengineer at 4:43 you see the computer there in a 1993 theme is that in your main account too?
If I have that it's hidden under decorations... o.O gna check it out but lmk if it's for new players or whatever pls ;>
It is for initiating the 1999 demo.
damn. nice one. what am i doing here xD
Will weapon and warframe slots become an issue as you cant trade?
I can't buy from players, but I can sell to them - only commodities (eg not rivens) and only at fair market price.
I consider it similar to selling to NPCs in a classic MMO, where you can buy basics but not the real equipment everyone farms and trades for usually.
I said the same thing with the PoE extraction, like come on DE lol
When will DE give us that wicked gun that Eudico is holding at @26:10 ! Think thing is so cool looking.
Theyll probably say its a welding gun or something
When Eudico says "Here, take this", by gf gasped "REALLY??" because she though Eudico would give her "gun", as it was so visibly in the frame in that shot. But yeah, instead a story item was deposited in the inventory, which doesn't make as much impact.
Is it just my hoarding instincts? Or is it considered kind of wasteful using an orikin reactor on a non-prime warframe?
That's your hoarding instincts. They're 20 plat and otherwise obtainable in a few ways. The boost to power now is better.
JackSonitos ahh video
Regardless nice video!
