Hello everyone,
It’s occurred to me that I have a problem getting prime gear and never asked about it: I have a hard time picking an item, figuring out which relics to crack to get its pieces, and actually doing it.
So, to that end how to you sort what you should be doing in order to acquire new prime gear? I’ve managed to reach MR28 and I seriously doubt I’ll be getting any further without being able to effectively hunt and acquire Prime gear.
I prioritized whatever was in the prime vault at the time because those things always took a while to come back into rotation. Once you’re done collecting anything vaulted, you can try to collect the older primes still in rotation. They will have multiple relics available making it a lot easier to get the parts you need.
It’s not efficient, but I would always collect the main bp for a part so I could look up what I was still missing at a glance in the foundry.
Profit Taker is a pretty good farm if the radiant relic you want is in the drop table, it saves a huge amount of time trying to collect void traces. There was one other bounty (Phase 2) in there where you assassinate corpus researchers which was also very fast after getting through all of the dialog.
Sell junk and buy the parts you need on https://warframe.market/. Popular primes like Wukong usually sell pretty fast for a reasonable amount, depending on how long you’ve been playing you might have a decent stash of relics to burn to complete sets and sell him. Reworked primes like Nyx also tend to sell fairly fast after an update too.
