Warframe Void Fissure Guide: Prime Relic Farming

Cracking the Code: Your Ultimate Guide to Warframe Void Fissures and Prime Part Farming

So, you’ve seen fellow Tenno flashing their glorious, gleaming Prime warframes and weapons in your missions. You’ve wondered how to get your hands on that coveted Prime set without spending a fortune of Platinum. The answer, my friend, lies in the chaotic, rewarding, and absolutely core system of Void Fissures.

If you've ever felt a little lost about how to efficiently farm Prime parts, you're in the right place. This guide is designed to be your one-stop resource, breaking down everything from the absolute basics to advanced strategies for maximizing your Void Fissure rewards. Let's dive into the Void and crack open some treasures.

What Exactly is a Void Fissure?

In simple terms, a Void Fissure is a temporary tear in reality that spills the chaotic energy of the Void into a normal mission. Your job, as a Tenno, is to enter that mission, collect Reactant dropped by Corrupted enemies, and use it to "crack open" or refine a special item you carry: a Void Relic.

Think of it like this: The mission is the lock, the Reactant is the key, and the Relic is the treasure chest. You need all three to get the prize inside. This process is the primary method for obtaining Prime parts, the shiniest and most powerful variants of your favorite gear.

The Heart of the Hunt: Understanding Void Relics

Before you even step into a Fissure, you need to understand what you're carrying. Void Relics are containers that hold a specific set of potential rewards, primarily Prime Blueprints and components. They come in four tiers, reflecting their rarity and the era of Prime gear they contain:

• Lith (Tier 1): Often contains parts for newer or more common Prime items.
• Meso (Tier 2): A mix of common and rarer parts.
• Neo (Tier 3): Typically houses parts for more sought-after gear.
• Axi (Tier 4): The home of the rarest and most valuable Prime components.

Each Relic also has a rarity level: Intact, Exceptional, Flawless, or Radiant. This is where the real strategy begins. By using Void Traces (a resource you collect from completed Fissure missions), you can refine your Relics. Refining a Relic improves the drop chances for the rare items inside it.

• Intact: The default state. Highest common, low rare chance.
• Exceptional: Slightly improves uncommon and rare chances.
• Flawless: Further boosts uncommon and rare chances.
• Radiant: The gold standard. Drastically increases the chance for the rarest (Gold) item.

This leads us to a crucial Prime farming strategy: if you're hunting for a specific rare part, always use a Radiant Relic to maximize your odds.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Running a Void Fissure Mission

Let's walk through the entire process from start to finish.

1. Acquire Relics: You can't crack what you don't have. Relics are earned from various activities across the Star Chart. Common sources include defense missions, survival missions, excavation, and bounties in Cetus, Fortuna, and the Necralisk. Check the Codex for specific Relic drop locations.

2. Select Your Fissure: Navigate to the Void Fissures menu in your Orbiter's navigation console. You'll see a list of available Fissures, each indicating the mission type (Exterminate, Survival, etc.), the enemy level, and the Relic era it accepts (e.g., "Lith Fissure"). Choose one that matches the Relics you want to crack.

3. Choose Your Relic: Before launching, the game will prompt you to select one Relic from your inventory that matches the Fissure's era. This is a critical step! Don't forget to pick one. Forgetting to select a Relic is the most common new player mistake – you'll still get the Void Traces, but you won't get a Prime part.

4. The Mission Itself:

   • The Goal: Your primary objective shifts slightly. You must collect 10 Reactant. These are glowing, golden pickups dropped by enemies that have been "Corrupted" by the Fissure. You'll see them transform before your eyes!
   • Stay Together: In a squad, it's vital to stick relatively close to your teammates. Reactant drops are shared within a certain radius. If you're scattered across the map, you'll slow down the collection process for everyone.
   • Kill Corrupted: Focus on killing the golden, Corrupted enemies. They are your main source of Reactant.
   • The "Cracking" Moment: Once every player in the squad has collected 10 Reactant, your Relic is instantly cracked open. A message will appear on screen, and the mission's main objective is complete. You can now finish the mission as normal (extract, complete rounds, etc.).

5. The Reward Screen - The Best Part!: After mission completion, you'll see the reward screen. This is where the magic happens. You will see the reward from your Relic, plus you get to choose one of the rewards from every other squad member's Relic. This is the single most important feature for efficient Prime part farming.

Mastering the System: Advanced Prime Farming Strategies

Now that you know the basics, let's talk about how to become a Void Fissure farming expert.

• The Power of Squads and "Radshares": Remember the reward selection screen? This is the foundation of high-efficiency farming. If four players all bring the same Radiant Relic, you have four chances at that coveted rare part in a single mission. This is known as a "Radshare" (Radiant Share). You can organize these squads in the Recruiting Chat by typing something like "H [Relic Name] Radshare". Similarly, "Intactshare" or "Radiant Solo" are other common terms.

• Choosing the Right Mission Type: Not all Fissures are created equal. For speed, Exterminate and Capture are king. You can complete them quickly, crack your Relic, and get out. For farming resources like Void Traces alongside your Relics, endless missions like Survival and Defense are excellent, as they allow you to open a new Relic every 5 minutes or 5 waves.

• Void Traces Management: You need Void Traces to make your Relics Radiant. The fastest way to farm them is by running quick Fissures like Capture or Exterminate. A Smeeta Kavat companion is a huge boon here, as its "Charm" ability can occasionally double your resource pickups, including your Traces at the end of a mission.

• The Vault: Ducats and Baro Ki'Teer: Not every Prime part you get will be one you need. Instead of selling them for small amounts of Credits, take your unwanted Prime parts to a Relay and visit the Ducat Kiosk. You can trade them for a special currency called Ducats. Every two weeks, the mysterious vendor Baro Ki'Teer arrives at a Relay, bringing with him exclusive, powerful, and often rare mods, weapons, and cosmetics that can only be purchased with Ducats. This turns your "junk" Prime parts into incredible opportunities.

• Patience and the Law of Averages: Prime Relic farming is a game of probability. Sometimes you'll get the rare part on your first try; other times it might take ten Radiant runs. Don't get discouraged. The system is designed to reward consistent play. Use tools like the community-driven "tenno.zone" website to plan your farming and see the exact drop chances for your Relics.

Final Words of Encouragement

The path to a full Prime loadout is a marathon, not a sprint. Void Fissures are the vibrant, chaotic, and social heart of Warframe's loot cycle. Embrace the grind, collaborate with your fellow Tenno in Recruiting Chat, and celebrate when that golden item finally pops up on your screen.

Remember the core loop: Gather Relics, refine them with Traces, squad up for efficiency, and convert your duplicates into Ducats for Baro's goodies. Now, go forth, Tenno. The Void awaits, and its treasures are yours for the taking. Happy hunting
