Citrine Prime arrived with the Iceblade of Narin update, and her parts are spread across four Void Relics from four different eras. You can buy her instantly through Prime Access, but cracking Relics lets you build her through normal play. The catch is that two of her four parts sit in the rare reward slot, so the farm leans grind-heavy with no pity system to soften it.
Quick answer: Farm Lith S19 (Systems), Meso C11 (Blueprint), Neo C11 (Chassis) and Axi C12 (Neuroptics). The Meso and Axi parts are rare, so refine those Relics to Radiant first.
Citrine Prime parts and their Relics
Each component lives in one Relic at a fixed rarity. Knowing the rarity tells you how hard the part is to pull and where to spend Void Traces.
| Part | Relic | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
| Blueprint | Meso C11 | Rare |
| Neuroptics | Axi C12 | Rare |
| Systems | Lith S19 | Uncommon |
| Chassis | Neo C11 | Common |
Two rare targets make this a longer grind than most Prime frames. The Blueprint on Meso C11 and the Neuroptics on Axi C12 are the pieces that will hold you up, while the Systems (uncommon) and Chassis (common) tend to fall out quickly.
Best farms for each Relic era
No single mission drops all four Relics, so you farm the era tied to whichever part you still need. Once a Relic drops, move on rather than staying on a node you have already cleared.
Lith S19 (Systems)
Hepit in the Void is the go-to Lith farm. It is a Capture mission you can finish in under a minute, and it has roughly a 6.67 percent chance of dropping the S19 each run. The speed more than makes up for the modest rate.
If you prefer a 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, so you can double-dip in a single sitting.
Meso C11 (Blueprint)
Because Defense missions are shorter now, Io on Jupiter offers a particularly clean Meso farm. Complete two waves to get a 12.5 percent chance of receiving a Meso C11; leave afterward and restart. A frame built for mobbing makes every cycle quick.
Ukko in the Void is another minute-long Capture whose pool mixes Meso, Neo and Aya, giving about a 6.25 percent shot at either the Meso or Neo you need. Olympus on Mars (rotation C) and Kappa on Sedna (rotation A) both add a 14.29 percent Meso chance if you are already running them.
Neo C11 (Chassis)
The Chassis is common, so it usually needs the least effort. Xini on Eris is an Interception that drops Neo Relics and works well for newer players, while Kappa on Sedna gives a 14.29 percent Neo C11 chance on rotation B. On Kappa you can target the B rotation by resetting every two waves or letting Conduits fall from wave three onward.
Higher-level players can also run Ur on Uranus, a Disruption that awards Neo Relics on the B and C rotations. Berehynia on Sedna is an additional Interception option in the same pool.
Axi C12 (Neuroptics)
Axi Relics are the trickiest to farm, and Apollo on Lua is the most reliable source. This Disruption drops an Axi carrying the C12 at about 14.29 percent on rotations A and B, dipping slightly to 12.42 percent on rotation C. Long runs also stack the most Relics for selling leftovers later.
Xini on Eris can serve as a lighter alternative for Axi Relics if Apollo’s Disruption feels too demanding.
Buy Relic Packs from Syndicates
If you are maxed on Syndicate Standing, Relic Packs are a fast shortcut. Each pack costs 20,000 Standing and gives three current Relics or Aya, and newly released Relics like Citrine Prime’s can roll from them.
- The six original Syndicates: New Loka, Perrin Sequence, Steel Meridian, Arbiters of Hexis, Red Veil and Cephalon Suda.
- Open-world factions after rank 2: Old Man Sumbaat in Cetus, Smokefinger in Fortuna and Otak in Necralisk.
- Visit Teshin in any Relay to buy packs: each costs 15 Steel Essence, and the weekly limit is 25.
Because most players are maxed with at least two Syndicates, buying a pack from each gives you several free rolls at a Citrine Prime Relic before you ever touch a mission.
Which Relics to refine with Void Traces
Refining a Relic raises its chance at the gold-tier reward. An Intact Relic drops its rare part at just 2 percent, while a Radiant Relic pushes that to 10 percent. Spend your Void Traces where it matters most.
- Refine Meso C11 and Axi C12 to Radiant first, since the Blueprint and Neuroptics are rare.
- Refine Lith S19 when Systems is your last missing part.
- Leave Neo C11 mostly unrefined, as the Chassis sits in the common slot.
A coordinated Radiant Share helps most on the rare Relics. Four players equip the same Radiant Relic, collect their Reactant, then each picks from the four rewards at extraction, giving the squad four chances at the rare part per run.
Opening the Relics and confirming the part
Once a Relic is in your inventory, open the Navigation screen and pick a Void Fissure that matches its era, then equip the Relic before launch. During the mission, collect ten Reactant from the golden enemies that spawn to make the Relic eligible to crack.
Finish the objective, and at extraction you choose one reward from the pool. You know it worked when the part appears on the reward screen and lands in your inventory as an unbuilt component. Bring the four parts to your Foundry, build each one, then assemble Citrine Prime.
Unbuilt parts are tradeable, so if one rare piece refuses to appear you can trade for it or sell duplicates to fund the buy. During a fresh Prime Access window prices swing fast, which is why farming the Relics yourself is usually worth a try before paying launch-week rates.
