What are Primes?

Prime weapons and warframes are enhanced versions of their standard counterparts. They offer higher stats, additional polarities for better modding, and a more stylish appearance. Obtaining prime items in Warframe allows players to amplify their power and collection, making them highly sought after.

How to Obtain Prime Weapons and Warframes

To acquire prime weapons and warframes, players need to follow a step-by-step process. Firstly, they must Gather blueprints for the three components of a warframe or the main blueprint for a weapon. Then, these components need to be built in the Foundry. Once completed, players can manufacture the prime warframe with the three built components. Additionally, prime weapons require prime manufacturing components, which come pre-built. Players should prioritize obtaining prime items over their non-prime counterparts for the added benefits they offer.

Introduction to Void Relics

Void relics are mysterious artifacts in Warframe that contain prime blueprints or prime components. Each relic can yield one of six prime items, with different drop chances. Void relics are visualized as spherical containers that players can inspect in their orbiter's console. Understanding how void relics work is crucial in obtaining the desired prime items.

Opening Relics and Obtaining Prime Items

To open a relic and acquire a prime item, players should go to the Void Fissures tab on the star Chart and select a mission. After selecting a relic, players need to Collect ten reactants by defeating enemies during the mission. Upon completing the mission, players will receive one prime item from the relic. It's important to note that not all relics are equal and they come in four rarity types (Meso, Neo, Axi). The mission level and relic refinement affect the chance of obtaining rarer items.

Obtaining The Right Relics

Finding the correct relics to obtain specific prime items involves a few steps. Players should use the Relic console in their orbiter to search for relics containing the desired parts. Typing in the item name will display a list of corresponding relics, including both the main blueprints and crafting component blueprints. The next step involves using external resources like the Warframe Wiki to discover the missions where these relics drop with detailed drop chances. By playing these missions and farming relics, players can progress towards acquiring their desired prime items.

Vaulted and Unvaulted Items

Certain prime items and their corresponding relics can become vaulted or unvaulted in Warframe. Vaulted items are temporarily removed from the game, while unvaulted items are reintroduced. Unvaulted relics can be farmed through the regular relic opening process. However, vaulted items can only be obtained by purchasing them from other players using in-game currency called platinum. Staying updated on the Current vaulted and unvaulted items is essential for players looking to obtain specific prime items.

Tips for Obtaining Prime Items

1. Relic Sharing: Opening relics in a team allows players to choose items from their teammates' relics, increasing everyone's chances of obtaining desirable prime items.
2. Redshare Groups: Participating in redshare groups involves running the same refined relic as a group. This increases the likelihood of obtaining the rarest prime item from the relic.
3. Platinum Exchange: Buying platinum and using it to purchase prime item pieces from other players is often more cost-effective than purchasing pre-manufactured prime items from the Warframe Website.

By following these tips, players can optimize their chances of obtaining prime weapons and warframes, enhancing their Warframe experience.
