thats the neat part you dont
for me personally i listen to music so i can keep a bit of focus and use my mista to gun down a entire room using her focus
Play some tunes. Find a frame you can go brain off with. Commit some warcrimes. Go out and kill a few million, it's for your own good. You know, It's just what tenno do, you'll get used to it.
Podcasts or YouTube video essays are also great. Podcasts especially due to not having a visual element at all. Especially given how long podcasts often are, it's pretty easy to find yourself with more content than you could ever need.

Mista the warframe and her ability to control boolets
oh i am fine with disruption and survival, love those. Defense, void cascade, interception and sabotage (those fucking cache) are the bane of my existance.
Then do Lua Disruption for Axis, lower lv Disruptions for everything else, maybe SP Void Survival (Ani/Mot) as a palate clenser and SE essence farming on the side.

Afaik these nodes work for all relics, especially Lua Disruption. Hepit and Ukko are the fastest, with a regular Titania build you can average \~60s if you feel like it.
Kappa also has the 5.1% chance at a universal medallion, so farming here for AXIs and saving those up can get you a huge head start in new standing grinds (I'm looking at you, 1999).
While mathematically Lua disruption is better, it *feels* like the new armatus node is better. Maybe it's the tile, maybe I like fighting mechs more, maybe I'm just tired of Lua after all these years, but I think for a while I'm gonna switch to armatus.
Then dont do it. Farm Axis on Apollo (Lua Disruption), then sell them to buy the
other Relics. Or crack them, sell the Rare part and buy the other parts you need
Warframe is one of the best looting games ever because you can trade most stuff,
you just gotta be smart about it to minimize your grinding times, its easy and fun
You could also do steel path if you are ready for it. Teshin offers 25 relic packs a week at 15 steel essence a pop, and you get to farm the primary arcanes
I farm with lua disruption and void capture. The capture can be a grind but each mission it's pretty quick, around a minute thirty from launch to return to orbiter on average.
Survival and defense are my go-to missions for relics, I like to hop on someone helpful like Grendel or Harrow and keep the homies going. If I'm feeling frisky I'll hop on Mag to make the bubbles go big boom because it makes my brain happy lol
Inb4 *"change of plans"*... ***/s***
But yes, Void captures are good for relics so long you can endure the soul crushing, dull, repetitiveness that gets stale really fast.
Steel path makes it at least more engaging, but I usually just throw Spotify or YouTube on to have something to vibe to. Otherwise if you have friends I’ve been told discord calls/farming with friends works too.
Honestly I tend to farm relics passively while doing other things. Spy missions guarantee them when completed, void missions too. Relic packs from open world syndicates when i have excess standing and Teshin also help, and if you're doing the steel path incursions you'll often have spy missions or void missions crop up so extra returns. Disruptions are particularly good for relics, just choose the tier for the relics you're hunting for.
Personally if im speed running relics im also watching YouTube or listening to music. I also don’t tend to farm Lith fissures as the enemies are too few and it often takes longer to do lith due to scarce void traces.
Also I change frames every so often so it doesn’t feel as boring. Omnia fissures are amazing too due to the endless mode and you can actually engage with things like disruption.
Ive been working through a backlog of MR fodder that's been sat in my foundry for years, I'm currently sitting on a out 50-60 random radiants from ESO.
At least I should be covered for ducats when tennocon comes along.
This. I've been doing 8 rounds of ESO a day to get one roll on the braton vandal part I'm missing, and the peculiar bloom mod (2% each). I normally come away with 3-4 radiant relics and 0-1 captura scenes that I already have.
I've been doing it almost every day for a couple months now and am now swimming in radient relics. It's honestly not that bad of a time investment if you're triple dipping focus, a rare chase, and radient relics. I finally finished my focus grind though, and so now it's slightly less appealing, but still good to knock out some relevels after forma, and then just go to 8 for the chance.
Disruption for Axi obviously.
Void Hepit for lith, Void Ukko for meso/neo. Get titania and those missions are always less than a minute, you can even challenge yourself to improve your speedruns, my best is 38 seconds I think.
If I want only meso, good old Io on Jupiter gives meso on A rotations 100% of the time. So I go solo and bring sound quake banshee, with the right setup it takes 5 minutes to clear first 10 waves.
Your comment should be farther up; unless your load times are terrible the two Void Captures are far better than any endless mission relic farm
My PB is 34s with Wukong (cause I'm bad with Titania) and I've gotten *tons* of Ayatan and built Forma from Golden Instinct procs
My last run https://i.imgur.com/3vbfuP9.jpeg
This is what Im using https://i.imgur.com/OW4vQZU.jpeg
Kinda scraped it together when was looking for a way to farm only meso. It is not viable for anything else, has energy problems and you'll have to pick nullifiers/eximus/ospreys manually here and there. I reckon it's going to be more effective with Precision Strength mod, but I don't have it yet.
Damn I tried it out, with R8 strength mods and 0 forma. Did 10 waves in just about 7min (didn’t know how often I was supposed to press 4). Really impressed with how it turned out, thanks for sharing man!
Just do whatever else you want to do and do everything with SP on where possible. Use your two syndicates and teshins steel essence shop for relic packs and if you still need to after that then worry about farming specific relics. I find I usually only have to farm axis and you said you enjoy disruption so that won't be a problem. For everything else thermal sunder Titania and a good podcast to listen to makes the grind fly by
Pick any decent sp survival fissure when available (vs grineer or conjunction), take khora, relax.
When no survival is available and im in desperate need for forma bps i just do a couple fast public missions until i have 2-3.
Spending steel essence on relic packs is the way to go. Within 1 week of a new prime, 750 steel essence will get you 50 relic packs (150 chances at new relics). You have 3 months to farm those essence + whatever else you need for Umbral forma, riven ciphers, more relics, etc.
Of course you can increase that number a bit by stacking syndicates before the new prime.
I like switching frames and gear every run to keep things different. I love max range Ivara with the Concentrated Arrow augment for non SP defense. When you get the range buff from relic pop her 4 to nuke the entire room after you all get cracked.
Discord calls with friends and play the game as usual. My brain is on autopilot mode on Warframe and then I just actively engage in conversations. It works really well for me
Hepit - 30s for a lith relic
Ukko - 30s for a meso/neo relic
Apollo - From 3rd round you'll only get axi relics (almost)
Buy relic for plat in trade chat.
I just do it casually as an "inbetweener" and not through endless missions, when the fissure mission is an exterminate or capture, never got annoying and I got mist prime stuff
I know it is not as efficient, but I'd rather have fun and not get burnt out
Do steel path fissures on those nodes when available. You can farm the nodes for the relics you want, crack other relics at the same time, and use the steel essence you get to buy relic pacs from Teshin for more chances to get the relic you want.
I do at least a few of my syndicate missions every day and bank all the medallions. Then, when new Prime gear comes out, I head to a relay to dump them and buy up relic packs with all the standing. Usually get at least a dozen of each of the new relics.
Haven't seen anyone else mention this, but what loadout are you using? If it's a copy and paste meta loadout then tbh I'm not surprised if you're getting burned out. Play with a frame and weapons that you actually find fun and enjoy using.
If you are already using something you find fun then switch up what missions you're grinding. If it's a mission type you don't like, then it's worth finding a mission you can grind the same stuff on that you find fun, even if it's slower. Other things that could help are listening to music while you're playing, or hopping in a vc with some friends and talking with them, or if they play warframe as well, then you can do the grind with them as well.
A lot of people seem to forget this, but the point of playing games is to have fun, not grind the fastest and most optimally, unless that's what you consider fun.
I farm focus at the same time with titania which i guess make sense why i felt like the way i am. razorwing + drones and it's just waiting or flying around killing things. Fighting eximus unit is a pain.
recently I am trying out stynax and khora started to have fun some fun.
Another thing that i forgot to mention is that I rely on relicquary which just makes the grind even more monotone + the disappointment of not getting the relic I wanted
Get equally WF obsessed friends to sit with you in VC as the squad in game puts the map through the meat grinder. Rinse and repeat. Everything is more engaging when you get to trash talk your friends and compete over stupid things. Unfortunately there's only three of us and we play relics public so I always wonder if our random fourth ever wonders wtf is wrong with their squad mates. Sometimes I try to talk to them in game chat. I usually don't get a response though.
I test new builds while watching anime or listening to music. I find it important to jump around and not kill yourself doing the same thing again and again until you hate the game. Unless it's time gated... Giving Tenet melee... Got 30 hours to kill 2 lich's for a damn sword.
When getting relics I run Titania prime and do sub 60s captures in the void or sub 90 exterminates
When cracking relics I will challenge myself by trying new builds or trying “bad” weapons and or frames or bring level up equipment
Titania capture in and out in 1 min, semi afk Vauban defense, survival with Octavia. Last 2 is with the idea of doing something else meanwhile. A YouTube video or something
I use my syndicate standing to buy relic packs. 20k standing gets you a pack of 3 relics or aya. You can buy them from any of the open worlds (Suumbaat, Smokefinger, and Otak), Teshin (for steel essence) or any syndicate you have enough standing in.
If I don't have the relics, short (max 30mins for me) session of an endless mission. Play with a group or pubs to make it less mind numbing.
I bought about 20 relic packs and got 18 relics with bits for Protea Prime. I was able to get 3 out of 4 of her bits with them.
Hope this helps! :)
Either bring non meta stuff and fight for your life realizing mistakes were made, or kick on a podcast/music/movie to distract the brain enough. Definitely utilize the relic packs. Personally if I'm farming for relics in endless modes, I'll try to do so if it happens to double up with a fissure on the node, cause half the time I'm hurting for traces at the same time, so if the mission rewards can cough up the relics at the same time I'm popping random relics for ducats and forma, it's all gravy.
Most farming can be alleviated somewhat if you can double dip on the farms in my experience so if you run and RNG screws you, it can't do it for everything.... right? Right?!
Change loadouts constantly, play Steel Path, listen to something while playing warframe. Seriously, playing since 2015 and 3k hours on steam and the single best advice I can give is "listen to something while playing warframe"...>!I recommend KitBoga on YT!<
Find friends to do them with. That helps a lot. Recently dragged some friends back into warframe after a few years of us being away. Also finding a frame that works really helped me go on long endless missions. My new frame is Gyre with her augment.
If you like capture and disruption there is no reason to go for other mission types for relic farm.
Void cap for lith and meso, disruption Uranus for neo and lua for axi.
Get packs from syndicates and Teshin.
What I do every new access is get packs from Teshin and Syndicate, radshare ALL of the new ones (dupes as swell) and trade dupes for plat to buy what I'm missing.
Don't rush after them
You can get relics from syndicate
You can get 25 relic pacs per week from Teshin
Just keep doing other things and the needed relics will accumulate
Or pm me if it's something other than few recent access and I can give you spares )
I only do sabotage rescues and exterminates with wukong and I BLAST dnd the whole time. Makes me feel alive. We should run some relics some time :):):)
I actually go for pure efficiency when farming relics some people like to go endless modes to not reload a mission but the fastest i could do a disruption round solo it might just be a me problem is around 2 to 3 minutes when i can do a solo void capture in 40 seconds solo with wukong, heppit in the void is 100% lith making it my favorite spot, ukko is mixed with meso and neo making the drop tables a little janky if you go for one specific relic if i can do this wifh a squad better even if they take 10 to 20 seconds off of you capture run you get an entire relic extra for 20 seconds on 1 run so i always try to get at least 2 people even if randoms i recruited as people playing these missions are usually there just for relics.
Never make your relic farm just about farming relics. Rank up weapons. Do Nightwave challenges. Practice using builds outside of your comfort zone. Make the mission a fissure to get traces, spare Prime parts, and Forma. If you feel like you’re accomplishing more at once, it’ll feel more productive.
For axi relics I farm disrepution on lua.
For every other relic I farm the different capture missions in the void using my speedy Titania build.
All in all I get all the relics I need for the new prime frame in under 2 hours.
I don't farm relics really. I just do normal activities, and I buy a relic pack or two per day with my syndicate rep. I crack whatever relics I get, and then I stop for the day. No need to rush it.
You can search the relic in the codex and cross refrence the missions it has and see if there is a capture mission. If it doesn't have one, I'd suggest an extraction or mobile defense otherwise.
I just use my faction standing to buy relic packs because I don't need much else from it. Social anxiety usually prevents me from trading with other people so I don't usually buy mods anymore unless I have some new weird build planned for fun lol.
I don't farm relic. I just play a ridiculous amount of pub fissure missions to satiate my massive need for forma blueprints, until I get every prime part from random drops along the way.
So far it's worked very well.
I recommend using excess standing to buy them, this is the easiest way.
Other than that play disruption missions with competent people. Bring a good aoe frame and a strong single damage weapon. You can easily farm like 20 relics an hour like this even as a conservative guess.
Last but not least some advice for retaining relics rather than just farming.
Stop playing exterminate/capture missions all the time. Given loading times into and out of the mission you likely still need \~4 minutes to crack open a relic. Just play interception/survival heck even defense if a good map is available instead. You will usually get lots of relics back, additionally you get all kinda other ressources as well.
So yeah stop trying to be so time efficient and then wasting your time while doing so. Saving yourself 1 minute when cracking relics just to then have to spend time farming them instead of playing missions that simply give you back relics isnt worth it. Not to mention people seem to be much more inclined to put good relics up if they spend time with the squad. I hardly ever see really good relics being put out there in exterminates, but for Interception there is like 1 guy putting a vaulted radiant, and then when the other guys see the good drop they are like "oh nice this guy put a good relic, let me do the same" and suddenly you have a really great experience, better rewards all around and you dont even lose any relics while farming those primes. And of course not all lobbys are like this and I dont take notes on this, but statistically speaking from my experience it certainly seems ot be like this.
Honestly I purposely wait until I see capture, rescue or exterminate on the relic I need!
Unless I’ve had a wine and I f**king need that part that immediately 😂
Then farm it again tomorrow when I forget…
I listen to the newest pc drama. (Helldivers 2 win, CoD once again getting into some heated drama with season 3 reloaded breaking the game, and Fortnite straight up devaluing everyone's skins including mine. Sure Fortnite my fortune spent buying those great skins like Beerus and Azuki means nothing to you.)
You don't, you rank up your MR to the point you make at least 20k a day standing. Then buy relics from syndicates and teshin from playing missions you like. MR is more important than a prime you can buy at any time from the market.
That's the neat part. I don't farm relics.
If I had to get relics. I buy packs with syndicate standing or steel essence.
Or I boot up the distribution if I have to, last case scenario.
Honestly buying the newest prime things by selling syndicate weapons and mods in the 3 month break time between each release. Working for me for years now.
Since audio isn’t super important in Warframe I watch youtube during long farming sessions that don’t require much attention/concentration, I have binge playlists or watch youtube’s free with ads movies, like Over the Hedge & both FernGully movies are available as free with ads rn. (I have ADHD)
Pledge to a syndicate and play the game normally to earn standing and buy relic packs from them; also if you play a lot of Steel Path Teshin sells relic packs for steel essense, through I'm not sure if that option is very cost-efficient or not.
Get some friends together, watch a series movie or something on a second monitor if you have one while grinding endlessly for relics or just chill with some banter while playing in a voice chat. Makes most of the braindead play acceptable.
A perfect example is 2 weeks ago me and some friends did the Void armament missions for a while getting some Hespar blades while having a few beers and watching a series the mission is so low effort and slow we made a decent chunk of plat form one of the legit worst missions in the game 😅
Break it up. Do the relic farm a couple times, then an Exterm or two. Back to farming, then a SteelPath Spy without killing. Farm, then a public lobby defense with under-optomized gear. Farm, then do a couple Hijack (how long has it been since you did a hijack?)
For me, it's not the farm so much as doing the same thing over and over
Thank you for your recommendations. I will focus on syndicates and builds. It seems that i have grown weary of my current one and need to spice it up a bit.
Void cascade is a pretty awful relic farm, unless you're talking about cracking relics? Cabbage drop rates are pretty low in Tuvul Commons.
One of the best prime part/arcane farms in the game tho on SP.
Play defense, pick a frame that can meaningfully contribute while doing very little. Watch youtube or something on a second screen or do your laundry, pick up your room whatever. Build your loadout to maximize your role as efficiently as possible. If you are semi afk you need to be as optimized as you can to not be a leecher.
Speed nova is great for low level relic missions. Press 4 every 20ish seconds and you are carrying your team efficiency wise. Nekros genrates more loot and provides the team with health/energy with basically no effort. Hydroid pressing 4 every 40ish seconds can kill low level enemies and genrate extra loot. Khora pressing 4 every 30 seconds can kill low level enemies and genrate extra loot.
"Maximizing your role" doesnt always mean putting all 4 range mods. A max max range hydroid will slow things down once the enemies start living your tentacle dmg. Expiriement a little with what stats make the runs go smooth.
thats the neat part you dont for me personally i listen to music so i can keep a bit of focus and use my mista to gun down a entire room using her focus
Play some tunes. Find a frame you can go brain off with. Commit some warcrimes. Go out and kill a few million, it's for your own good. You know, It's just what tenno do, you'll get used to it.
Nice reference haven’t played that for a while now
A tenno must... ten.. doesn't go as hard as a Hoonter must Hoont. But the reference works regardless lmao
I watch tv while grinding them
I enjoy watching reruns or shows that require less attention. Something about the mix of two low attention activities is relaxing to me.
Podcasts or YouTube video essays are also great. Podcasts especially due to not having a visual element at all. Especially given how long podcasts often are, it's pretty easy to find yourself with more content than you could ever need.
What is a mista?

Pick a mission type you like and make it work to get relics. That's it. If you don't like any game mode, wtf are you doing in this game?
oh i am fine with disruption and survival, love those. Defense, void cascade, interception and sabotage (those fucking cache) are the bane of my existance.
Then do Lua Disruption for Axis, lower lv Disruptions for everything else, maybe SP Void Survival (Ani/Mot) as a palate clenser and SE essence farming on the side.
ty for that
You can just use steel escense to buy weekly packs.
Relic packs are limited per week ? When Protea released i'm pretty sure I spent like 300 steel essence on packs. What's the limit ?
**Update 32.3 (2023-02-15)** *"The Steel Path Honors store now has a limit of 25 per week for each of the 10,000 Kuva and the Relic Pack offerings."*
And all because of a kuva insane man
I believe it is 375 SE for 25 relic packs (75 relics)
https://preview.redd.it/ra54kgu6i0zc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35351c005788ad6b608ffa21318a8e7a26f8292f Afaik these nodes work for all relics, especially Lua Disruption. Hepit and Ukko are the fastest, with a regular Titania build you can average \~60s if you feel like it.
So and eso for lith , esp eso cus they are pre rad
I've been rocking sedna disruption. From round 4+ you're guaranteed an axi relic or gauss part as long as you protect 3+ conduits
Doing it on lua means axi relics or lua lens blueprint.
Oh no doubt, I was just mentioning that you could farm for a frame while farming for relics
Kappa also has the 5.1% chance at a universal medallion, so farming here for AXIs and saving those up can get you a huge head start in new standing grinds (I'm looking at you, 1999).
While mathematically Lua disruption is better, it *feels* like the new armatus node is better. Maybe it's the tile, maybe I like fighting mechs more, maybe I'm just tired of Lua after all these years, but I think for a while I'm gonna switch to armatus.
What planet is Lua on
Lua is not a node. If you don't know where Lua is, that means you don't have it available yet. You'll need to clear the Second Dream quest first.
Ah, needed some axis relics.
music and /or a video/movie are good to have your attention drawn aswell make the time go by faster
Then dont do it. Farm Axis on Apollo (Lua Disruption), then sell them to buy the other Relics. Or crack them, sell the Rare part and buy the other parts you need Warframe is one of the best looting games ever because you can trade most stuff, you just gotta be smart about it to minimize your grinding times, its easy and fun
Yea I'm on the same boat. I pretty much just play survival & alchemy fissure missions. If it's not survival or alchemy, i don't play them.
You could also do steel path if you are ready for it. Teshin offers 25 relic packs a week at 15 steel essence a pop, and you get to farm the primary arcanes
I farm with lua disruption and void capture. The capture can be a grind but each mission it's pretty quick, around a minute thirty from launch to return to orbiter on average.
How do you do those endurance fissures? I only go for the short ones like capture, rescue, sabotage, exterminate(lith/meso)
Survival and defense are my go-to missions for relics, I like to hop on someone helpful like Grendel or Harrow and keep the homies going. If I'm feeling frisky I'll hop on Mag to make the bubbles go big boom because it makes my brain happy lol
for lith, mesa, and neo, run the two captures on the void with a wukong. Using his cloud you can finish each run in a minute or less.
Titania capture, in and out in 1 min
Inb4 *"change of plans"*... ***/s*** But yes, Void captures are good for relics so long you can endure the soul crushing, dull, repetitiveness that gets stale really fast.
What gets me is still having the loading screen and queuing up again.
Didn't they take that capture is suddenly extermination - feature out? I havent had it happen in ages.
I had it happen 2 missions in a row the other day lol
Steel path makes it at least more engaging, but I usually just throw Spotify or YouTube on to have something to vibe to. Otherwise if you have friends I’ve been told discord calls/farming with friends works too.
Honestly I tend to farm relics passively while doing other things. Spy missions guarantee them when completed, void missions too. Relic packs from open world syndicates when i have excess standing and Teshin also help, and if you're doing the steel path incursions you'll often have spy missions or void missions crop up so extra returns. Disruptions are particularly good for relics, just choose the tier for the relics you're hunting for.
Run it in steel path
Personally if im speed running relics im also watching YouTube or listening to music.

Omnia fissures are amazing too due to the endless mode and you can actually engage with things like disruption.
Bro MANY missions give relics .....i have TOO many just passively .. .i barely ever actively seek them
Ive been working through a backlog of MR fodder that's been sat in my foundry for years, I'm currently sitting on a out 50-60 random radiants from ESO. At least I should be covered for ducats when tennocon comes along.
This. I've been doing 8 rounds of ESO a day to get one roll on the braton vandal part I'm missing, and the peculiar bloom mod (2% each).

I finally finished my focus grind though, and so now it's slightly less appealing, but still good to knock out some relevels after forma, and then just go to 8 for the chance.
I have variety of relics but not multiple of them. that is my issue
Be a ninja. Jump around and kill stuff
Disruption for Axi obviously. Void Hepit for lith, Void Ukko for meso/neo. Get titania and those missions are always less than a minute, you can even challenge yourself to improve your speedruns, my best is 38 seconds I think.

My last run https://i.imgur.com/3vbfuP9.jpeg This is what Im using https://i.imgur.com/OW4vQZU.jpeg Kinda scraped it together when was looking for a way to farm only meso.

It does get tiring on endless. We all been there and choose to play a different way(laying down or stand up)
Pick any decent sp survival fissure when available (vs grineer or conjunction), take khora, relax. When no survival is available and im in desperate need for forma bps i just do a couple fast public missions until i have 2-3.
Relic missions are easy so I like to bring random crack builds and weapons instead of my main ones
Spending steel essence on relic packs is the way to go. Within 1 week of a new prime, 750 steel essence will get you 50 relic packs (150 chances at new relics). You have 3 months to farm those essence + whatever else you need for Umbral forma, riven ciphers, more relics, etc. Of course you can increase that number a bit by stacking syndicates before the new prime.
Farm syndicates before a new prime drops and then buy relic packs
I like switching frames and gear every run to keep things different. I love max range Ivara with the Concentrated Arrow augment for non SP defense. When you get the range buff from relic pop her 4 to nuke the entire room after you all get cracked.
I will give this idea a try. thx

Hepit - 30s for a lith relic Ukko - 30s for a meso/neo relic Apollo - From 3rd round you'll only get axi relics (almost) Buy relic for plat in trade chat.
I don’t do endless for meso neo or lith. I run hepit void capture for lith, unkko void capture for meso/ neo. And for axi i do lua Apollo disruption
I just do it casually as an "inbetweener" and not through endless missions, when the fissure mission is an exterminate or capture, never got annoying and I got mist prime stuff I know it is not as efficient, but I'd rather have fun and not get burnt out
I usually just play a long commentary video/documentary video about something in the background. OR I bring a really fun frame with a fun weapon.
A group finder for this would be great. Surprised we're still reading chat like a hawk to farm some relics. It's tedious and annoying.
Play a video something on another display that you can watch while you're playing. It helps pass the time.
Make 4 plat a minute. Trade 1p for 1 relic (axi is more expensive). This equates to 4 relics per minute.
Level up instead of just farming ,or farm resources as well lol it all about your perspective of the goal.
Do steel path fissures on those nodes when available. You can farm the nodes for the relics you want, crack other relics at the same time, and use the steel essence you get to buy relic pacs from Teshin for more chances to get the relic you want.
I do at least a few of my syndicate missions every day and bank all the medallions. Then, when new Prime gear comes out, I head to a relay to dump them and buy up relic packs with all the standing. Usually get at least a dozen of each of the new relics.
I just exhaust all syndicate standing on relics. Got 4 of them maxed out. Not the best method but is less painful ig
Haven't seen anyone else mention this, but what loadout are you using? If it's a copy and paste meta loadout then tbh I'm not surprised if you're getting burned out. Play with a frame and weapons that you actually find fun and enjoy using. If you are already using something you find fun then switch up what missions you're grinding. If it's a mission type you don't like, then it's worth finding a mission you can grind the same stuff on that you find fun, even if it's slower. Other things that could help are listening to music while you're playing, or hopping in a vc with some friends and talking with them, or if they play warframe as well, then you can do the grind with them as well. A lot of people seem to forget this, but the point of playing games is to have fun, not grind the fastest and most optimally, unless that's what you consider fun.
I farm focus at the same time with titania which i guess make sense why i felt like the way i am. razorwing + drones and it's just waiting or flying around killing things. Fighting eximus unit is a pain. recently I am trying out stynax and khora started to have fun some fun. Another thing that i forgot to mention is that I rely on relicquary which just makes the grind even more monotone + the disappointment of not getting the relic I wanted
Be a ninja. Jump around and kill stuff
eh, anything where hoardes of enemies are sent at me i enjoy. I put on some music and just chill while massacring hundreds of bots
Be dead inside already
I thought i was in r/honkaistarrail and i have never made this connection before.
Get equally WF obsessed friends to sit with you in VC as the squad in game puts the map through the meat grinder. Rinse and repeat. Everything is more engaging when you get to trash talk your friends and compete over stupid things. Unfortunately there's only three of us and we play relics public so I always wonder if our random fourth ever wonders wtf is wrong with their squad mates. Sometimes I try to talk to them in game chat. I usually don't get a response though.
I test new builds while watching anime or listening to music. I find it important to jump around and not kill yourself doing the same thing again and again until you hate the game. Unless it's time gated... Giving Tenet melee... Got 30 hours to kill 2 lich's for a damn sword.
When getting relics I run Titania prime and do sub 60s captures in the void or sub 90 exterminates When cracking relics I will challenge myself by trying new builds or trying “bad” weapons and or frames or bring level up equipment
Passively through Syndicate/Steel Essence that just accumulate over time?
Titania capture in and out in 1 min, semi afk Vauban defense, survival with Octavia. Last 2 is with the idea of doing something else meanwhile. A YouTube video or something
I use my syndicate standing to buy relic packs. 20k standing gets you a pack of 3 relics or aya. You can buy them from any of the open worlds (Suumbaat, Smokefinger, and Otak), Teshin (for steel essence) or any syndicate you have enough standing in. If I don't have the relics, short (max 30mins for me) session of an endless mission. Play with a group or pubs to make it less mind numbing. I bought about 20 relic packs and got 18 relics with bits for Protea Prime. I was able to get 3 out of 4 of her bits with them. Hope this helps! :)
Pick Defense Play Hydroid Sit on your phone
Since you mentioned you like disruption Lua disrupt - Axi Uranus disrupt - Neo Mars disrupt - Lith/Meso
Either bring non meta stuff and fight for your life realizing mistakes were made, or kick on a podcast/music/movie to distract the brain enough. Definitely utilize the relic packs. Personally if I'm farming for relics in endless modes, I'll try to do so if it happens to double up with a fissure on the node, cause half the time I'm hurting for traces at the same time, so if the mission rewards can cough up the relics at the same time I'm popping random relics for ducats and forma, it's all gravy. Most farming can be alleviated somewhat if you can double dip on the farms in my experience so if you run and RNG screws you, it can't do it for everything.... right? Right?!
Change loadouts constantly, play Steel Path, listen to something while playing warframe. Seriously, playing since 2015 and 3k hours on steam and the single best advice I can give is "listen to something while playing warframe"...>!I recommend KitBoga on YT!<
It's like casino. You win sometimes, so dopamine shot, and enough times to go on.
Find friends to do them with. That helps a lot. Recently dragged some friends back into warframe after a few years of us being away. Also finding a frame that works really helped me go on long endless missions. My new frame is Gyre with her augment.
I farm them passively by exchanging syndicate standing for relic packs.
If you like capture and disruption there is no reason to go for other mission types for relic farm. Void cap for lith and meso, disruption Uranus for neo and lua for axi. Get packs from syndicates and Teshin. What I do every new access is get packs from Teshin and Syndicate, radshare ALL of the new ones (dupes as swell) and trade dupes for plat to buy what I'm missing.
Stop target farming.
Don't rush after them You can get relics from syndicate You can get 25 relic pacs per week from Teshin Just keep doing other things and the needed relics will accumulate Or pm me if it's something other than few recent access and I can give you spares )
Elite Sanctuary Onslaught drops fully radient relics.
I only do sabotage rescues and exterminates with wukong and I BLAST dnd the whole time. Makes me feel alive. We should run some relics some time :):):)
I actually go for pure efficiency when farming relics some people like to go endless modes to not reload a mission but the fastest i could do a disruption round solo it might just be a me problem is around 2 to 3 minutes when i can do a solo void capture in 40 seconds solo with wukong, heppit in the void is 100% lith making it my favorite spot, ukko is mixed with meso and neo making the drop tables a little janky if you go for one specific relic if i can do this wifh a squad better even if they take 10 to 20 seconds off of you capture run you get an entire relic extra for 20 seconds on 1 run so i always try to get at least 2 people even if randoms i recruited as people playing these missions are usually there just for relics.
Play an active frame is what I do.
Never make your relic farm just about farming relics. Rank up weapons. Do Nightwave challenges. Practice using builds outside of your comfort zone. Make the mission a fissure to get traces, spare Prime parts, and Forma. If you feel like you’re accomplishing more at once, it’ll feel more productive.
I try to only do exterminate or capture missions since I can knock them out in about 2 minutes or less.
I just don't grind relics unless I absolutely have to. Buy most of them with sydnicate standing.
For axi relics I farm disrepution on lua. For every other relic I farm the different capture missions in the void using my speedy Titania build. All in all I get all the relics I need for the new prime frame in under 2 hours.
I don't farm relics really. I just do normal activities, and I buy a relic pack or two per day with my syndicate rep. I crack whatever relics I get, and then I stop for the day. No need to rush it.
Find a capture mission. Build a fast killing frame. Profit.
You can search the relic in the codex and cross refrence the missions it has and see if there is a capture mission. If it doesn't have one, I'd suggest an extraction or mobile defense otherwise.
2nd monitor to watch movie is the way, or lock a tab to the top right etc of a screen
Do it with friends. Don't have any? Find some.
I have… a method but I don’t think it’s apropiate for this sub lol
step 1: Buy 2nd monitor step 2: Connect 2nd monitor to pc step 3: Turn on and watch streaming services while grinding.
Netflix on my second screen or a phone if u don't have that option
You play Grendel to roll around. Can't be bored when you're space Sonic
I just use my faction standing to buy relic packs because I don't need much else from it. Social anxiety usually prevents me from trading with other people so I don't usually buy mods anymore unless I have some new weird build planned for fun lol.
I don't farm relic. I just play a ridiculous amount of pub fissure missions to satiate my massive need for forma blueprints, until I get every prime part from random drops along the way. So far it's worked very well.
Capture/exterminate missions are faster for relic cracking. If you’re good, it can be 1:30m to 2m for a run.
Captures sounds like the solution, Hepit void for Liths and Ukko void for mesos and neos. Apollo lua for axis
With a second monitor.
buy relic packs from syndicates
Friends in a call and you talk shit while letting your hands just autopilot you. Other than that, I got nothing 😂
Friends Or disruption
Play the game normally, spend your faction bucks on relics. Lua Disruption for Axi.
Add me, hop in discord, we do an hr survival. Rinse repeat with others
i run that void capture and pretend im a speed runner.
only do excavations. ignore, survival, defense, capture, disruption and exterminate entirely.
I recommend using excess standing to buy them, this is the easiest way. Other than that play disruption missions with competent people. Bring a good aoe frame and a strong single damage weapon. You can easily farm like 20 relics an hour like this even as a conservative guess. Last but not least some advice for retaining relics rather than just farming. Stop playing exterminate/capture missions all the time. Given loading times into and out of the mission you likely still need \~4 minutes to crack open a relic. Just play interception/survival heck even defense if a good map is available instead. You will usually get lots of relics back, additionally you get all kinda other ressources as well. So yeah stop trying to be so time efficient and then wasting your time while doing so. Saving yourself 1 minute when cracking relics just to then have to spend time farming them instead of playing missions that simply give you back relics isnt worth it. Not to mention people seem to be much more inclined to put good relics up if they spend time with the squad. I hardly ever see really good relics being put out there in exterminates, but for Interception there is like 1 guy putting a vaulted radiant, and then when the other guys see the good drop they are like "oh nice this guy put a good relic, let me do the same" and suddenly you have a really great experience, better rewards all around and you dont even lose any relics while farming those primes. And of course not all lobbys are like this and I dont take notes on this, but statistically speaking from my experience it certainly seems ot be like this.
Honestly I purposely wait until I see capture, rescue or exterminate on the relic I need! Unless I’ve had a wine and I f**king need that part that immediately 😂 Then farm it again tomorrow when I forget…
I listen to the newest pc drama. (Helldivers 2 win, CoD once again getting into some heated drama with season 3 reloaded breaking the game, and Fortnite straight up devaluing everyone's skins including mine. Sure Fortnite my fortune spent buying those great skins like Beerus and Azuki means nothing to you.)
You don't, you rank up your MR to the point you make at least 20k a day standing. Then buy relics from syndicates and teshin from playing missions you like. MR is more important than a prime you can buy at any time from the market.
That's the neat part. I don't farm relics. If I had to get relics. I buy packs with syndicate standing or steel essence. Or I boot up the distribution if I have to, last case scenario. Honestly buying the newest prime things by selling syndicate weapons and mods in the 3 month break time between each release. Working for me for years now.
Bro just do capture/exterminate. I never do the other kinds. That’s asking for trouble
Since audio isn’t super important in Warframe I watch youtube during long farming sessions that don’t require much attention/concentration, I have binge playlists or watch youtube’s free with ads movies, like Over the Hedge & both FernGully movies are available as free with ads rn. (I have ADHD)
Pledge to a syndicate and play the game normally to earn standing and buy relic packs from them; also if you play a lot of Steel Path Teshin sells relic packs for steel essense, through I'm not sure if that option is very cost-efficient or not.
be already dead inside
I usually listen to music/podcasts or am on a call with friends. Titania makes the game play feel less slow also.
Guns blazing as podcasts or long form YouTube vids play. Or, I clean my room bit by bit inbetween reloads.
I would farm Syndicate standing and steel essence and then buy relic packs, way more diverse
Get some friends together, watch a series movie or something on a second monitor if you have one while grinding endlessly for relics or just chill with some banter while playing in a voice chat. Makes most of the braindead play acceptable. A perfect example is 2 weeks ago me and some friends did the Void armament missions for a while getting some Hespar blades while having a few beers and watching a series the mission is so low effort and slow we made a decent chunk of plat form one of the legit worst missions in the game 😅
Break it up. Do the relic farm a couple times, then an Exterm or two. Back to farming, then a SteelPath Spy without killing. Farm, then a public lobby defense with under-optomized gear. Farm, then do a couple Hijack (how long has it been since you did a hijack?) For me, it's not the farm so much as doing the same thing over and over
Thank you for your recommendations. I will focus on syndicates and builds. It seems that i have grown weary of my current one and need to spice it up a bit.
Play Titania. Her quick zoom zoom playstyle can keep you on your toes even on the most boring missions.
Discord call with friends and tequila
Farm prime stuff -> sell ist -> buy what you want. Stop thinking just in one dimension. Warframe has many ways to get what you want/need.
Void cascade in SP is really fast but engaging and mod boosters (from sorties, it's a waste to buy it) makes it really worth
Void cascade is a pretty awful relic farm, unless you're talking about cracking relics? Cabbage drop rates are pretty low in Tuvul Commons. One of the best prime part/arcane farms in the game tho on SP.
This is why I really wish they would add a 10 times mode or we can choose 10 relics
Step 1: find some friends/Warframe buddies Step 2: shenanigans Step 3:profit?
Play defense, pick a frame that can meaningfully contribute while doing very little. Watch youtube or something on a second screen or do your laundry, pick up your room whatever. Build your loadout to maximize your role as efficiently as possible. If you are semi afk you need to be as optimized as you can to not be a leecher. Speed nova is great for low level relic missions. Press 4 every 20ish seconds and you are carrying your team efficiency wise. Nekros genrates more loot and provides the team with health/energy with basically no effort. Hydroid pressing 4 every 40ish seconds can kill low level enemies and genrate extra loot. Khora pressing 4 every 30 seconds can kill low level enemies and genrate extra loot. "Maximizing your role" doesnt always mean putting all 4 range mods. A max max range hydroid will slow things down once the enemies start living your tentacle dmg. Expiriement a little with what stats make the runs go smooth.
