Collecting Relics in Warframe Made Easy
Hey there, fellow Tenno! So, let's talk about one of the most vital aspects of Warframe that can seem as mysterious as a Grineer in a library—relics. If you've ever found yourself swimming in a sea of relics wondering, "Where do I even start?" then pull up a seat. This guide is about to become your best friend on your journey through the stars.
The Role of Relics in Warframe Progression
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's address the big question: Why on Earth—or rather, why in the Origin System—are relics so important? Well, think of relics like a delicious box of chocolates, only with way more lasers and explosions. They’re your golden ticket to unlocking Prime Warframes and weapons, some of the most powerful and prestigious gear you can get in the game. Having a few of these shiny items in your arsenal can significantly elevate your status, not to mention they're just plain cool to collect.
Relics are also a great way to engage with Warframe’s vibrant community. Jumping into a relic mission with friends, or even strangers, opens the door to trading and sharing strategies. I remember one time I joined a random public match and ended up making a friend who taught me the ins and outs of farming. It’s moments like these that make Warframe more than just a game—it’s a welcoming space buzzing with camaraderie and knowledge exchange.
Top Relic Farming Locations and Missions
Alright, let’s talk about the best places to farm those lucrative relics. I promise you, finding relics doesn’t have to feel like you’re trying to locate your keys in a black hole.
1. Void Missions
The Void is like Disneyland for relic hunters. Defense and survival missions, in particular, are the gift that keeps on giving. Pop into a Void Survival and settle in with friends for a cozy hour of slashing and smashing. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the relics pile up.
2. Sanctuary Onslaught
Head over to the Sanctuary Onslaught if you're feeling adventurous and want to test your endurance. This mode is not only fun but fast-paced, keeping you on your toes and, best of all, showering you with relics and rewards for your efforts. My first run here was an adrenaline rush, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Plus, you never know when you’ll hit the jackpot!
3. Bounties
The open world zones on Earth, Venus, and Deimos offer bounties that contain relics as rewards. Each bounty has stages, and your relic will typically drop after certain stages. Perfect for mixing up the traditional grind with a bit of outdoor exploration.
Tips for Efficient Relic Management and Opening
Once you've got a pile of relics, managing and opening them is a whole other ball game. Here are some tried-and-true tips to keep your relic game on point:
Organization is Key
Use the in-game menu to sort relics by Era—Lith, Meso, Neo, and Axi. This will help you quickly find which relics you've got stockpiled. If you start your session knowing what needs farming, you're already winning half the battle.
Refinement and Rewards
Get into the habit of using Void Traces to refine your relics. The more refined, the better your chances at landing that rare loot you’ve been eyeing. It’s a bit of a gamble—more than once, after using all my traces on a relic, I ended up with bronze rewards. But hey, that's just RNG gods flexing their muscles.
Know When to Open
You know what they say: Timing is everything. Use mobile apps or community resources to keep tabs on what's being vaulted and what's hot in the market. Sometimes it’s better to save your relics for when items become more valuable.
Team Up for Success
Join public squads when cracking open relics. This not only gets you extra rewards by sharing but also increases your network of Warframe enthusiast pals. Hey, I met some of my longest-standing Warframe friends in these squads, sharing tips and giggles as we crack open our precious loot.
Final Thoughts
Relic farming can be one heck of a ride! It might seem like a monstrous task at first, but once you get into the rhythm, it's like riding a bicycle—only here, the wheels are made of relics and the path is paved with cabbages… I mean, credits. Stick with it, embrace the experience, and enjoy the vibrant community that comes along the way. Happy hunting, Tenno! May all your drops be gold and all your squads legendary.
In the vast universe of Warframe, relics are more than just items—they’re the stepping stones of your adventure. So grab that mouse, boot up your favorite mission, and start your own epic relic journey. Who knows, maybe I'll see you in the Void, slicing through those pesky infested, with a relic (or six) in hand.
