[(n00bs) Me and my friend have hit a wall in terms of progression.]

I consider myself new to Warframe environment and I have pocketed over 400 hours of playtime in the past 2 months. Warframe has a myriad of things to focus on. When I started I have the exact thought as you, just focus on one frame and one gun. 

But as you progress, you will notice there are certain things you can't do if you haven't done some quests. Take something like Eidolon hunting, it requires you to do a series of quest before actually being able to at least wear down Eidolon's shield. Have you done the quests? 

Warframe also has one section of gameplay that is all about min/max your weapon. The mods you mentioned are the basic ones and there are so much more and trust me you'll need them. As you're modding your weapon you'll notice you'll ran out of mod capacity. At this point, you'd want to apply an Orokin Catalyst on a weapon or an Orokin Reactor on a warframe to double the mod capacity. Even so, sometimes you can't slap all the mods on to make your frame as powerful as you'd like and at this point you'd want to Forma your weapon/warframe. You might want to look into this in the wiki for more details.

Let's say you want to increase the rank of mods, you'll of course need endo. Yes you can farm it with Excalibur or Ivara but there are other much better frames for farming resources. Take Nidus and Nekros combo, endo will flow like river to you in certain places.

Acquiring Nidus and Nekros parts are time-consuming, especially Nidus. You'd want a frame that could speed up these processes, or if you're very patient you can also use Excalibur or any other frame. But a frame like Nova can speed up the process and something like Trinity to provide energy and healing. Every frame has a field where they excel, granted one frame can do everything but some frame are better than the other for something and sometimes the difference is gigantic. Explore them.

If you're bored with how normal warframe looks, there are Prime version of those warframes even though not all warframe have prime version. Prime version of warframe or weapons generally have better stats. You'll need to acquire the parts like when you're building your Ivara from opening Relics or through Trading. People offer parts or even one full set of prime warframes/weapons at the cost of platinum. Platinum can be purchased with money but you don't have to, Warframe is the real Free to Play game. You can acquire platinums real fast from selling Rivens. Rivens are mods with unique stat that works only for one weapon and won't work on any other weapon. You notice you can't put 2 serration on one weapon right? With Riven mods, you can add these stats alongside with other mods. The way you acquire riven is through Sortie or Trading, or trasmuting Rivens to a new, Veiled Riven. Look it up.

Sorties are a set of high level missions and I don't think you can do much with basic Excalibur or Ivara. You'll need more mods and higher rank of the mods to survive. The rewards for completing Sortie are quite generous. Also, you need to complete quests to be able to play Sortie missions.

These are just a glimpse of what is currently offered by Warframe, there are an insane amount of content inside that you'd want to look into. Things like Cephalon Fragments, Somachord, Syndicate, Acolytes and many others are a thing of its own.

It's a waste to just use one or two frames on this game, the full potential of this game is revealed when things started to get complicated. Which is I think why a lot of newcomers stepped back and never return. I might miss some explanations here so please do ask and correct me.

Spend your time and I hope you find something interesting.
