Warframe's Mods Priority List | 2023 Guide

Cosmic Hermit Crab's Warframe's Mods Priority List 2023. This is a guide for especially newer players than advanced players, but I can see some advanced players benefiting from this guide, too. The list is relevant for which mods to obtain first and which to invest in upgrading.
I forgot to mention Equilibrium and Life Strike for healing/sustainability for the early game, but you don't want to depend on these mods forever for most loadouts because you will replace their roles with arcanes later on.
Also, I forgot about Adaptation and Rolling Guard mods (from arbitration shop). Never run these two survivability mods together, but you can run Adaptation with Vitality and sometimes Steel Fiber (if high base armor on Warframe) if you wanna be tanky. For Rolling Guard, it should be the only survivability mod in your Warframe loadout.
This mod list is also listed similarly to the release dates of these mod categories too, kinda funny.
Let me know in this comment section if I missed anything or if you recommend any good mods to obtain early on too!

As someone thats only been playing 70 something days, first thing i noticed was the top right. holy cow man pass some of that endo my way! But will come back to say something once i watch the video, just had to mention it because my mind was blown 5 seconds in lmao
---Alright Ive now watched the video and it was actually pretty informative. Especially the part where you mentioned that its better to have 2 primed mods at rank 9 rather than 1 at 10. good job man

Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, I just remembered I forgot to mention Hunter Munitions and Critical Delay, but there are so many mods it's hard to keep track. However, the order of this list is how I used to prioritize mods as a newer player.

My biggest issue is getting enough Endo, how would I go about that seeing how much you have yourself?

[@CosmicHermitCrab]

The best way imo is to farm the time-gated missions associated with rewarding decent endo; which are daily sorties (commonly rewards an ayatan sculpture or 4k of endo), Maroo Bazaar's weekly for one random weekly ayatan sculpture, and hourly Arbitrations (rotates type of mission hourly). Arbitrations require clearing the entire star chart to unlock access, so if you haven't done that already I highly I advise you do. Arbitrations are supposed to be harder missions (a bit easier than Steel Path), but commonly rewards endo and/or ayatan sculptures. Since they rotate hourly you just have to last about an hour in each Arbitration to ideally farm them efficiently and continuously, this can be easily done either solo or with randoms.
There is another popular method of farming endo to use 1 nidus and 3 nekroes (maybe replace 1 nekroes with 1 khora with ult augment) on a specific Sedna arena mission node to farm endo there with a squad from recruit chat, but I feel like Arbitrations are way more rewarding than this method. Personally I don't use this method because you need a really good premade squad (time-efficient and maxed out loadouts) to make this more efficient than Arbitrations, in terms of endo rewards. However, it doesn't require unlocking the entire star chart, but newbies generally farm endo via this method, so their loadouts usually aren't 100% optimal.

[@CosmicHermitCrab]

Also, if you still need endo, don't transfer mod duplicates into credits. Instead convert them into endo because farming Index for credits is a lot easier than Arbitrations and is unlocked a lot sooner. Farming for credits in this game is way easier than endo, too. Also, Railjack missions can supply a decent amount of endo and credits too, but I'm not sure if they are time efficient versus Arbitrations and most newbies are uncomfortable with RJ missions, atm.
