do i disolve duplicate card things into endo?

[frog]

or do i keep them, im not sure how this system works :D

Keep at least one copy of each and get endo from the duplicate mods, yeah.
Unless you have a mod that is hard to farm and you have a copy to sell in the trade chat, for example "dual rounds" which not many people have this mods cuz everyone is lazy to do Archwing missions.

so when you say keep one copy of each, i have 3 separate organ shatter mods for example each one has the star thing at the bottom to be upgraded further. do i dissolve those cards that cant be upgraded as high?

Warframe aura mods: Only need 1 copy to rank as high as you can afford. Duplicates with rank serve no actual purpose. Just sell them, unless they're worth plat to players.

Melee weapon stance mods: Same as aura mods.

All other mods: Depends on your own mastery rank (MR) and preference. Having a few duplicates with increasing rank can be useful for swapping them as the warframe or weapon gains rank, especially for low MR new players.

What should you do with unneeded duplicates? A new player might sell them for creds, since that's a limited resource in early game. Later you'll just sell them for endo, unless they're worth trading.

You can safely dissolve anything that's common or uncommon until you have only 1 copy.

In case of Rare mods you can dissolve like 99% of them but there will be some you could potentially sell to another player, or in case of Corrupted Mods (they have 1 positive and 1 negative) you might want several copies with different levels of upgrades to min-max your builds

Anything higher than that you keep. Either for sale or for other uses I won't be going into.

I dissolve everything and keep two copies. One to level, one empty so I can replace it when I use forma... So I don't forget the build I had.

It can be worthwhile to have the most useful mod duplicates with fewer points in them to squeeze into new gear. One common issue is that polarized slots half the cost, but odd costs are rounded up, so having a second copy 1 point short of max for the ones that max out at odd numbers helps with new gear esp to new players. Consider say the heat mod for a rifle, costs 11 maxed out, so in a polarized slot, it costs 6. If you had it at rank 10, it only costs 5. Not a big deal for endgame players, but again, its often useful for new players to stretch that last point.

you can do several things with your duplicates. Besides trading with others, I think you can sell them for a small amount of money, you can turn them into endo, and you can combine them to gamble on new mods that you don't have (high risk, low reward, can be helpful to fill in gaps late game). A new player is going to want to turn into endo, as you need tons of it to get a useful working set of mods for your frames, pets {robotic, animal}, weapons{rifle, shotgun, pistol, melee} not to mention alternative stuff (archwing, etc). Working up your mods is 75% of the game.

Dissolve bronze and silver mods for endo, don't bother with credits unless you are desperate, because there are so many easy ways to get credits

Keep your golds for transmutations, because there's always a small chance of getting mods that are near impossible to grind for, and Simaris sells cores to remove the credit cost

I typically keep one unlevelled mod of each kind, because there are occasions where you'd want a lower level mod to fit into a build. That also makes sure I don't accidentally get rid of a mod I don't have a levelled version of. Other than that though, most all duplicates are free game for endo conversion.
