I might finally be caught up on my Nightwaves!
And now I know which three caused me to stop doing them for so long:
Day Trader, the one where you complete a 3-round shutout on The Index (Glast Gambit quest if you haven't done that already). Index is fine if you're doing it normally, good Credit rewards... but trying to do the shutout is insanely annoying especially if you get the wrong map.
Then there's the one where you need to complete 4 Halls of Ascension on Lua. They're special rooms with puzzles that reward the Drift mods. Drift mods can go in your Warframe's Exilus slot and... they're useful for minmaxing stats but that's all I use them for.
I still have these two left, they're tedious but not the worst. And not exactly profitable for me right now aside from Nightwave, but if you ever need Credits then The Index is one of the better ways to get them. (There's a better way in Orb Vallis but you'll need max rank with Solaris United to get there - I would still advise doing that as the missions that unlock from maxing that syndicate give you a massive perk.)
No, I also had to deal with something called Archimedea. At some point you'll unlock the Steel Path, which jacks enemy levels up into 100+. Archimedea... puts them at 250 and the Elite version well into the 300s. Everything is so tanky that you need very specific builds just to clear it... but there's also modifiers you need to consider that will get you better rewards from it. Using specific 'Frames and weapons, or taking fairly steep penalties.
It's essentially true endgame content (one of the possible rewards is a special type of Forma that makes any one mod slot a wild card) so don't worry about it right now. I... only engage with that stuff minimally. I've got a lot of other minor tasks I can still do with Warframe.
EDIT: Now I'm fully caught up.
Honestly, the most likely candidate that caused me to stop Nightwave was the Halls of Ascension. It is EXTREMELY tedious getting just four, and even worse if you're trying to find all seven of the Halls to get one of each Drift mod. You may be better off trading for some of them.
