Void Relics: farming Prime parts

Void Relics are small Orokin containers. Each holds one of six possible rewards, mostly Prime parts or a Forma blueprint. You open a relic in a Void Fissure mission. Bit by bit you collect all the parts for a Prime Warframe or Prime weapon.

The key terms in short:

Void Relic

A container with six possible rewards: three common, two uncommon and one rare.

Era

The tier of a relic: Lith, Meso, Neo or Axi. Each era is opened in matching fissures.

Void Fissure

A normal mission with rifts that spawn Corrupted enemies. Only here can you open relics.

Reactant

Glowing drops from Corrupted enemies. Collect 10 to open your relic.

Void Traces

A resource from fissures. You use it to refine relics so the rare reward shows up more often.

Vaulted

Relics that drop nowhere right now. You only get them through trading or Prime Resurgence.

Ducats

Baro Ki’Teer’s currency. You get them by turning in leftover Prime parts.

The Requiem Eterna Relic is a special case. It comes from Kuva Siphons and Kuva Floods and cannot be refined.

1. 01

   Pick a fissure

   Open the Void Fissure overview in navigation. Each fissure belongs to an era and runs on a normal Star Chart node.

2. 02

   Choose a relic

   Before the mission starts, pick a relic of the matching era. Omnia fissures accept any era except Requiem.

3. 03

   Collect 10 Reactant

   Rifts open during the mission. The Corrupted enemies drop Reactant. With 10 of it, your relic is open.

4. 04

   Finish and choose

   At the end you see every squad member’s reward and pick one of them, even from someone else’s relic.

• If you do not open your relic, you keep it. It is only used up once it has been opened.
• Opening your relic gives a short buff: weapons need no ammo and deal more damage, Warframes get more strength and range.
• In endless fissures you pick a new relic after each round. Now and then you also get pre-refined relics as a bonus there.
• In How to unlock and master the Steel Path fissures you also get 1 Steel Essence for every relic you open yourself.

Every time you collect 10 Reactant you get 6 to 30 Void Traces at the end. Use them to refine a relic on your Orbiter or right in the selection screen before a mission. The higher the tier, the better the chance of the rare reward.

• Endless missions such as Survival, Defense, Interception or Disruption give relics as rotation rewards.
• Every mission in the Void guarantees a relic or Aya.
• Syndicates sell packs of 3 relics for 20,000 standing.
• Teshin sells relics for 15 Steel Essence, up to 25 per week.
• Elite Sanctuary Onslaught with Cephalon Simaris can give relics that are already Radiant.

Older Prime items eventually go into the Prime Vault. Their relics then stop dropping. Relics you already own can still be opened or traded with other players.

With Prime Resurgence, Varzia on Mars brings selected Prime items back. Her stock changes every 28 days. You buy vaulted relics from her with Aya, which you find in Void missions among other places.

You do not have to sell duplicate Prime parts for credits. Turn them in at the Ducat kiosks in a Relay instead and get Orokin Ducats. As a rule: common parts give 15, uncommon 45 and rare 100 Ducats.

The trader Baro Ki’Teer visits a Relay every two weeks for 48 hours. For Ducats and credits he sells rare mods, such as Primed mods, plus weapons and cosmetics. The countdown on the Ducat kiosks shows when and where he will show up.
