Narin is an ice-based sword dancer introduced in Update 44: Iceblade of Narin. She can freeze foes, inflict Cold Damage Vulnerability, and create Overguard to stay alive before delivering powerful burst damage with her sword-dancing ultimate. You have two free acquisition methods, and both involve the same Zariman missions, so choosing between them is rarely necessary.
Quick answer: Complete Angels of the Zariman and Whispers in the Walls, then run Zariman missions to farm Entropic Kuva from Entropic Eximus and buy Narin’s parts from Cephalon Melica for 790 Entropic Kuva, or wait for the component blueprints to drop.
Quests you must finish first
Two story quests must be completed before Narin becomes available. They open the Zariman nodes and the Earth hub containing her parts, meaning farming cannot begin until both quests are finished.
- Angels of the Zariman — Completing this quest opens the Zariman Ten Zero tileset and makes its mission nodes available.
- Whispers in the Walls — causes the inbox invitation for the new hub to arrive.
Once both are cleared, an inbox message from Melica invites you to Yuvan Peak, a social Relay on the dark side of Earth. Travel there, speak with Cephalon Melica, and open the Classroom Supplies menu to see Narin’s blueprints listed for purchase. You can confirm your account is ready by logging in on the official Iceblade of Narin page, which shows how far you are through the main questline.
How to farm Entropic Kuva from Entropic Eximus
Entropic Eximus are the sole source of Entropic Kuva, and these new enemies roam the Zariman tileset. At least one appears in every Zariman mission, even outside bounty missions. A kill awards 1–3 Entropic Kuva, with a Resource Booster doubling the payout. Nekros’s re-loot ability cannot raise this amount.
The Entropic Eximus appears at range as a dark red sphere resembling a nullifier field. Its barrier stops projectiles fired from outside, much like Frost’s Ice Globe protects allies, so enter the sphere before attacking. Since these enemies have high durability, a powerful melee weapon dispatches them fastest. Operator attacks are also effective, but deal reduced damage.
Steel Path Void Cascade gives the best farming results. Activating Exolizers in several rooms at the same time causes several Entropic Eximi to appear, and an hour-long run has produced about 250–300 Entropic Kuva. With a Resource Booster running, roughly four hours of Cascade can purchase the entire Narin set. The mode may also award the Neuroptics blueprint through rotation rewards, potentially shortening the farm.
Entropic Kuva only buys frame blueprints and other Melica rewards. Narin’s signature weapon parts are not part of this pool, so those come from the vendor or the Market bundle instead of mission drops.
Buy Narin’s parts from Cephalon Melica
Buying from the vendor gives a guaranteed path: use your currency on whichever exact part remains missing. Narin follows the standard Warframe recipe of Neuroptics, Chassis, and Systems, along with a main blueprint that combines them. Purchasing the complete set from Melica requires 790 Entropic Kuva.
| Part | Entropic Kuva cost |
|---|---|
| Main blueprint | 400 |
| Chassis | 130 |
| Systems | 130 |
| Neuroptics | 130 |
Melica appears in the Chrysalith on the Zariman as well as at Yuvan Peak on Earth, so you can trade with her from either hub after Angels of the Zariman is complete.
Farm Narin blueprints from Zariman missions
Players who want to avoid the currency farm can obtain every Narin blueprint as a direct Zariman mission reward. The blueprints come from end-of-mission or rotation rewards, not bounties, allowing you to launch each node directly from the Orbiter. A particular mission type and node provide each component.
| Part | Mission and node | Rot A / B / C |
|---|---|---|
| Neuroptics | Void Cascade — Tuvul Commons | 4.23% / 4.6% / 8.33% |
| Chassis | Void Flood — Everview Arc | 4.23% / 4.6% / 8.33% |
| Systems | Void Armageddon — Oro Works | 4.23% / 4.6% / 8.33% |
| Main blueprint | Exterminate (Halako Perimeter) or Mobile Defense (The Greenway) | 4.65% end-of-mission |
Because the drop chances are low, most players mix both routes: keep killing Entropic Eximus for currency while you run the mission types that can also hand you a blueprint outright.
Crafting requirements in the Foundry
Once you own the three component blueprints, build each part in the Foundry and then use the main blueprint to assemble Narin. The full material list is below.
| Blueprint | Materials |
|---|---|
| Neuroptics | 15,000 Credits, 2,900 Plastids, 4 Neural Sensors, 6 Entrati Lanthorn, 400 Thrax Plasm |
| Chassis | 15,000 Credits, 3,300 Alloy Plate, 1,200 Polymer Bundle, 800 Cryotic, 10 Morphics |
| Systems | 15,000 Credits, 55 Voidgel Orb, 2 Argon Crystal, 2,100 Circuits, 10 Control Module |
| Main (Narin) | 25,000 Credits, 1 Neuroptics, 1 Chassis, 1 Systems, 1 Orokin Cell |
Argon Crystals decay over time, so gather them shortly before you build the Systems part to avoid losing them.
Skip the farm: buy the Market bundle
If you would rather not farm at all, the Narin bundle is available directly from the in-game Market for 990 Platinum. It grants the fully built frame and her signature weapon without any parts to gather or craft.
How to know it worked
After each component finishes in the Foundry, claim it and start the main Narin blueprint, which takes the standard 72-hour build time. When Narin is ready, you will get an inbox notification and can claim her from the Foundry, after which she appears in your Arsenal at Rank 0. Buying the Market bundle delivers her instantly, already built, so she shows up in the Arsenal right away.
