Citrine Prime arrived in Warframe with the Iceblade of Narin update. As with previous Prime frames, her four components come from Void Relics belonging to four separate eras. Two components occupy the rare reward tier, making this a longer farm without any pity mechanic. Prime Access offers a way to bypass the hunt, while Relic cracking lets you craft her through regular play.
Quick answer: Get the Systems from Lith S19, the Blueprint from Meso C11, the Chassis from Neo C11, and the Neuroptics from Axi C12. Since the Meso and Axi rewards are rare, upgrade both Relics to Radiant before opening them.
The four Citrine Prime Relics and their parts
Every component is tied to one specific Relic and one predetermined rarity. That rarity shows the difficulty of obtaining it and helps determine where to use Void Traces. Systems and Chassis usually come early, whereas the Blueprint and Neuroptics are the likely bottlenecks.
| Part | Relic | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Blueprint | Meso C11 | Rare |
| Neuroptics | Axi C12 | Rare |
| Systems | Lith S19 | Uncommon |
| Chassis | Neo C11 | Common |
Refine the rare Relics to Radiant first
Adding Void Traces to a Relic increases its odds of the gold-tier reward. The rare part appears from an Intact Relic only 2 percent of the time, compared with 10 percent for a Radiant Relic. This difference determines what you should prioritize.
- Spend Void Traces on Meso C11 and Axi C12 first, upgrading both to Radiant because their Blueprint and Neuroptics rewards are rare.
- Refine Lith S19 only when Systems is the last part you need.
- Since the Chassis occupies Neo C11’s common reward tier, there is little reason to refine that Relic.
Rare Relics benefit most from a coordinated Radiant Share. Have four players equip one identical Radiant Relic, collect their Reactant, and select from the four rewards available at extraction. One mission then provides the squad with four chances to receive the rare component.
Where to farm each Relic
The four Relics come from different mission pools, so farm the era associated with the component you still lack. After obtaining the Relic you were targeting, switch away instead of continuing to run a node you have already cleared.
Lith S19 (Systems)
For Lith Relics, run Hepit in the Void. This Capture can take less than a minute and gives about a 6.67 percent chance of producing S19 each run. Its quick completion time outweighs the moderate drop rate, particularly when using a fast frame such as Titania.
If you prefer Disruption, Olympus on Mars drops the Lith Relic on rotations A and B at about 14.29 percent, and it rolls a Meso on rotation C. That lets you double-dip in one sitting. Teshub (Void Exterminate) and Taranis (Void Defense) are steadier alternatives, and Earth, Venus, and Mars Excavations pull Lith Relics while you gather Cryotic.
Meso C11 (Blueprint)
Io on Jupiter makes a straightforward Meso route now that Defense missions have shorter runs. Finish two waves, which gives a 12.5 percent chance for Meso C11, then leave and begin again. A crowd-clearing frame helps keep each attempt fast.
Another roughly one-minute Capture is Ukko in the Void. Its reward table contains Meso, Neo, and Aya, offering around a 6.25 percent chance for either needed Meso or Neo. If Olympus is already your Lith route, continue to rotation C for its 14.29 percent Meso chance; alternatively, Kappa on Sedna offers the same rate on rotation A.
Neo C11 (Chassis)
Because the Chassis is common, farming it generally takes the least work. Newer players can use Xini on Eris, an Interception node with Neo Relics in its drops. Kappa on Sedna has a 14.29 percent chance for Neo C11 on B rotation; force that rotation by restarting after every two waves, or allow Conduits to drop beginning with wave three.
Players with stronger builds can use Ur on Uranus, where the Disruption awards Neo Relics from rotations B and C. Berehynia on Sedna is another Interception option, and Ukko in the Void can also supply Neo Relics through its shared reward pool.
Axi C12 (Neuroptics)
Farming Axi Relics poses the greatest challenge, with Apollo on Lua being the dependable choice. Its Disruption table gives an Axi containing the C12 at about 14.29 percent in rotations A and B, while rotation C lowers the rate to 12.42 percent. Staying longer also builds the largest stock of extra Relics to sell afterward.
Xini on Eris works as a lighter alternative if Apollo’s Disruption feels too demanding, with Axi Relics landing on its B and C rotations against Infested enemies.
Buy Relic Packs if you are capped on Standing
Relic Packs provide a quick option when your Syndicate Standing is capped. A pack costs 20,000 Standing and contains three current Relics or Aya; newly released options, including Citrine Prime’s Relics, can be among the results. Most players have at least two Syndicates at maximum, so purchasing one pack from each gives several free rolls before starting a mission.
- The six original Syndicates are New Loka, then Perrin Sequence, with Steel Meridian and Arbiters of Hexis following; Red Veil and Cephalon Suda complete the list.
- After reaching rank 2 with the open-world vendors, use Old Man Sumbaat in Cetus, Smokefinger in Fortuna, or Otak in Necralisk.
- Teshin in any Relay sells packs for 15 Steel Essence each, capped at 25 per week.
Crack the Relics and build Citrine Prime
Unbuilt components can be traded, letting you exchange for a stubborn rare part or sell duplicates to help pay for one. Prime Access launches can cause prices to change quickly, so trying to farm the Relics yourself is generally worthwhile before spending launch-week rates. For a complete shortcut, the Iceblade of Narin Prime Access packs immediately include Citrine Prime and her signature weapons.
