Citrine Prime, one of Warframe‘s most beloved supports, got her Prime variant alongside the Iceblades of Narin update. As usual, her parts are spread out across different Relics, so get your Void Traces ready.
If you’re a veteran, you’re probably aware of the meta for Relic hunting, but the changes to Defense made some options more viable than they used to be. Here’s where you can grab the Relics for Citrine Prime in Warframe, based on the official drop tables.
All Citrine Prime Relics in Warframe and how to get them
- Lith S19: Systems (Uncommon)
- Meso C11: Blueprint (Rare)
- Neo C11: Chassis (Common)
- Axi C12: Neuroptics (Rare)
Hunting Citrine Prime’s Relics has a bit of an extra challenge: both the Meso and the Axi parts are Rare, so it might take a little bit more time to grab her than usual. Radiant Relics have a 10 percent chance of dropping the gold-tier reward, while those odds drop to just two percent if you haven’t refined your Relic.
If you’re already maxed out on Syndicate Standing, don’t forget to grab a Relic Pack with your two main factions. They cost 20,000 Standing each and give you three of any current Relic or Aya, and they can also drop Citrine Prime Relics. We got a free Meso C11 and Neo C11 like that, so maybe you’ll have even better luck.
Digital Extremes can always change these Relics and add more sources for Citrine Prime, but the methods listed here work for any Relic of the same type.
Best Citrine Prime Relic farms in Warframe
| Relic | Location | Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Lith S19: Systems (Uncommon) | Hepit, Void (Capture) Olympus, Mars (Disruption) | |
| Meso C11: Blueprint (Rare) | Ukko, Void (Capture) Io, Jupiter (Defense) | Olympus, Mars (Disruption) Kappa, Sedna (Disruption) |
| Neo C11: Chassis (Common) | Xini, Eris (Interception) | Ukko, Void (Capture) Kappa, Sedna (Disruption) Berehynia, Sedna (Interception) |
| Axi C12: Neuroptics (Rare) | Apollo, Lua (Disruption) | Xini, Eris (Interception) |
Our favorite mindless farm for Lith Relics is Hepit in the Void, which is an incredibly easy Capture mission that can be done in a minute or so. You have a 6.67 percent chance of getting an S19, but with how fast it is, you can get through it in no time. Alternatively, Olympus on Mars has a 14.29 percent chance of dropping it on rotations A and B, with the same chance at a Meso for Rotation C.

Meso Relics have a few more drop sources, but with the shortened Defense mission length, Io on Jupiter became an even more viable pick. Do two waves for a 12.5 percent chance of a Meso C11 each, then bail. Ukko in the Void‘s reward pool is split between Meso, Neo, and Aya, so that’s also a possible destination to spice things up. If you’re running Olympus for Lith Relics, you can also stick around for a 14.29 percent chance of a Meso Relic on rotation C, or do Kappa on Sedna for the same chance on Rotation A.
Neo has a couple of sources that double-dip with other Relics, such as Xini on Eris and Kappa on Sedna. The latter has a 14.29 percent chance of a Neo C11 on Rotation B, so you can target-farm that a bit by either resetting the mission every two waves or letting Conduits die starting on wave three. Ukko on the Void has a 6.25 percent chance of getting either the Meso or the Neo Relic you need, too—and as another minute-long mission, this might be worth a few stops.
Axi Relics are generally the trickiest, but Apollo on Lua (Disruption) is the most surefire way to get it. You have a 14.29 percent chance of getting a relic with Citrine Prime’s Neuroptics on rotations A and B, with a slight drop to 12.42 percent on rotation C.
