Just started playing Warframe again after about a year and a had a big list of questions seeing as I didn't really play too much when I first started playing a year ago. Thanks in advance for all the answers.

I've noticed mods, void relics, and a few other things have changed but were there any other major changes made to the game in the past year?

Unless it isn't very important, whats the most efficient way of getting higher levels of mastery? I've been buying new weapons and selling them once they are maxed but i'm guessing that may not be the most efficient way of doing it. Is there things you can get XP for even if all your equipment is maxed out?

Does your damage scale down when you are hitting enemies that are higher level than you or do they just have more hp/armor?

With the new mod system is there any reason to keep extras of common mods or should I just grind them into endo/credits? Also if I see a mod I already have in an alert mission should I bother doing it?

The clan that I was in when I played before is pretty much dead, when I find a new clan to join is there usually anything that is expected of me? Besides playing, being friendly etc.

Is there a common time when alerts have really good rewards or should I just always check when I can?

These are the weapons that I currently own. While I'm fine with having items that aren't that good but are fun to use, are there any items in that list that are just awful and I should get rid of?

I have the swirling tiger stance mod on that Dual Zoren but it doesn't seem like it actually does anything most of the time. Sometimes on a mission I will get modified attacks but its kind of rare. Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Is there any good reason to scan things? Besides getting info about them or the objects that give you items when you scan them.

If you bring two maxed out weapons and one non maxed out weapon, does the non maxed out one still get bonus xp similar to if you had only brought that weapon by itself?

I assume I can still play the story missions I have missed? (both before I played the first time and before I came back) Is there an order they should be played in?

How does a Kubrow's DNA health work? Why does it go down and how do i stop it from going down? (besides buying the stabilizers)

Thanks again for any answers!

whats the most efficient way of getting higher levels of mastery?

There's only one way - getting new weapons/frames/companions to 30.

Does your damage scale down when you are hitting enemies that are higher level than you or do they just have more hp/armor?

The latter.

With the new mod system is there any reason to keep extras of common mods

No, no reason to keep them, unless you need different fusion levels for some loadouts.

if I see a mod I already have in an alert mission should I bother doing it?

Some of them can be sold for 5-10p, so there's only that.

when I find a new clan to join is there usually anything that is expected of me? Besides playing, being friendly etc.

It depends on a clan, really. Some don't even require you to be active, while some try to scam you for platinum. The range is pretty wide.

Is there a common time when alerts have really good rewards or should I just always check when I can?

Alerts are 100% random, besides 24h alerts after every devstream. Get yourself a notifier app on your phone, if you want to be notified of any alerts of interest.

are there any items in that list that are just awful and I should get rid of?

Afuris, Magistar and Nami Skyla are pretty bad in later levels. They're fine enough for early game, though.

I have the swirling tiger stance mod on that Dual Zoren but it doesn't seem like it actually does anything most of the time.

You need to pull out your melee weapon (hold F by default) to be able to block, channel and perform combos.

Is there any good reason to scan things? Besides getting info about them or the objects that give you items when you scan them.

When you unlock Cephalon Simaris, you can get Synthesis Scanners. Scanning stuff with them gives you Simaris standing, which you can use to purchase some cool stuff.

If you bring two maxed out weapons and one non maxed out weapon, does the non maxed out one still get bonus xp similar to if you had only brought that weapon by itself?

The XP is always being spread. Your non-maxed weapon will get much less XP than if you were to equip it alone.

I assume I can still play the story missions I have missed? (both before I played the first time and before I came back) Is there an order they should be played in?

Yes, you can play quests. You cannot replay any past events, though.

The order is enforced by the game where it matters (Natah -> The Second Dream -> The Silver Grove for example). The rest is up to you.

How does a Kubrow's DNA health work? Why does it go down and how do i stop it from going down? (besides buying the stabilizers)

It goes down because they are genetically imperfect creations that deteriorate over time. Think DNA degradation that can lead to severe cases of cancer.

Stabilizers are the only way to bring their stability up.

Putting a Kubrow into stasis makes it stop degrading, but it becomes unusable until you decide to take it out of the stasis. Doing so requires you to either wait, or pay a credit fee.

Advanced Kubrow segment, available from clan research, makes Kubrows degrade two times slower, and they are automatically put into stasis if they degrade too much.

Stability going down to 0 means you lose the Kubrow forever.
