Warframe: Top 10 Rare Resources

The Hunt for Rare Resources in Warframe: A Comedic Adventure!

Welcome, fellow Tenno, to the fast-paced world of Warframe, where we shoot, slash, and defy gravity like nobody’s business. Today, we embark on a quest to uncover the most elusive and sought-after resources in the game. So grab your Orokin popcorn, sit back, and prepare for an emotionally rich, humorous, and positive journey!

10. Oxium

Ah, Oxium, the resource that puts the “rare” in rarity. Only dropping from variants of the mischievous Oxium Osprey enemy, this resource is like a rare jewel lost in the vastness of space. Picture this: you’re fighting the Corpus faction, desperately hoping an Oxium Osprey doesn’t self-destruct on you. Why? Because if it does, you miss out on 7-12 Oxium! Talk about rude.

But fear not! Oxium can also be found lurking in lockers and sneaky storage containers. And let’s not forget about the generous 3rd supply cache on Uranus’ Sealab Sabotage mission. So keep on fighting, brave Tenno, and watch as your Oxium stash grows over time. Just beware the kamikaze Ospreys!

9. Neural Sensors

Ah, Neural Sensors, the brain power behind new Warframe creations. These rare gems are as elusive as mastering Warframe’s fluid parkour system (which, let’s be honest, we’re all still trying to figure out). Only found in the Jupiter and Kuva Fortress tile sets, these sensors love playing hard to get.

New players, take note: you’ll have to embark on a daring journey through the treacherous gas cities of Jupiter to farm these precious sensors. But hey, what’s a few deadly gases between friends, right? So gear up, practice your parkour, and get those Neural Sensors before they slip through your fingers like a sneaky robot.

8. Orokin Cells

Move over Oscars, Orokin Cells are the real stars here! These rare resources can be found on Ceres, Saturn, and Deimos, adding a splash of shiny goodness to those planets. And hey, the best part? They drop from enemies, loot containers, and precious Orokin Cell Arrays scattered throughout missions. Talk about versatile!

But hold your K-Drives, Tenno. Orokin Cells aren’t exactly lining the walls like an Orokin Cell vending machine. You’ll need a hefty amount of these bad boys to craft your beloved Warframes and weapons. It’s a bit of a grind, but trust me, it’s worth the effort. So get out there and show those enemies who’s boss to stock up on Orokin Cells!

7. Hexenon

Welcome to a tale of three birds, my fellow Tenno! Hexenon, the resource introduced alongside the mysterious Wisp Warframe, is a rare treasure. This sneaky substance only drops on the Jupiter tile set, limiting our farming adventures to that space-bound playground. But fear not, for Hexenon can be an overachiever!

While it mostly drops from Amalgam enemies, our dear friend Hexenon can also occasionally surprise us by hiding in loot containers. And here’s the best part: Jupiter is also home to Oxium and Neural Sensors! It’s like a cosmic deal, a two-for-one special. So grab your trusty guns, hack through the Corpus forces, and gather those precious resources!

6. Cryotic

Ah, Cryotic, the ancient resource buried beneath our feet. This icy wonder can only be found in a single game mode called Excavation. While defending those excavators like a true hero, you’ll unearth Cryotic in bundles of 100. Boom, baby!

But don’t expect Cryotic speed-dating. The excavators have a set pace, and there’s no “Cryotic Tinder” to swipe right on these bad boys. So buckle up, prepare for a thrilling excavation experience, and watch as the Cryotic flows into your pockets. And remember: 30,000 Cryotic is nothing when you’re forging the mighty Sibear melee weapon. Easy peasy, right?

5. Kuva

Ah, Kuva, the lifeblood of the Grineer Queens. This precious resource is not only required for certain Foundry blueprints, but it’s also the key ingredient for rerolling Rivens—the mightiest mods in the game. Kuva is like the celebrity of resources, with a VIP status that makes everyone crave a piece of it.

To earn Kuva, you can dive into Kuva Siphon missions, tackle special bounties, survive on the Kuva Fortress, and even conquer challenging endgame content. And hey, if you have Riven slivers or vitus essence lying around, you can trade them in for bundles of Kuva. So flex those Warframe muscles, face epic challenges, and let the Kuva flow!

4. Argon Crystals

Enter the Void, the realm of Argon Crystals, where rare resources decay like a loaf of Orokin bread in the Tenno’s fridge. These crystals drop from enemies and the enigmatic Argon Pegmatite outcroppings, adding a touch of mysterious beauty to the game. But beware, for these crystals have an expiration date!

With a mechanic unlike any other resource, Argon Crystals decay after a day. Poof! Gone! It’s like a magic trick performed by mischievous space wizards. So, when you need these shimmering delights to craft your dream blueprint, summon your Void powers, venture into the abyss, and collect them before they crumble away like digital stardust.

3. Tellurium

Ah, Tellurium, the resource that loves to play hide-and-seek. Unlike your ordinary resource drop, Tellurium only reveals itself during specific mission types—Archwing missions and underwater adventures on Uranus. It’s like the game saying, “Hey, change of scenery! Let’s spice things up!”

Now, picture yourself diving through the depths of Uranus, fighting alongside your trusty Archwing. The thrill! The excitement! And the best part? You won’t be grinding these mission types every day, making the hunt for Tellurium an adventurous feat. Brace yourself, fellow adventurers, and prepare for an epic underwater quest!

2. Entrati Lanthorns

Ready for something new, my fellow Tenno? Hold on to your Gravimag, because we’re diving into the world of Entrati Lanthorns—a rare resource introduced in the depths of the Zariman Ten Zero. But hold your K-Drive tricks, as you’ll need a Railjack, a Necramech, and a jaw-dropping arsenal to get there!

Once you’ve made GameTopicificant progress and unlocked the Zariman, the Entrati Lanthorns await like glimmering treasures. But beware, for they are quite rare, matching the caliber of resources like Orokin Cells, Neural Sensors, and Argon Crystals. So gear up, brave adventurers, and take on the challenge of obtaining these elusive beauties!

And finally, drumroll, please…

1. Nitain Extract

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner—or should I say, a nightmare? Nitain Extract takes the crown for being the most frustrating resource to grind for. It scoffs at enemies and loot containers, refusing to drop like a stubborn kid avoiding chores. Instead, you’ll have to rely on finding all three caches in certain sabotage missions and praying for that precious 2% chance.

Now, in true Warframe fashion, we have a twist! Have no fear, Nightwave is here! You can spend your hard-earned Nightwave credits to snag some Nitain Extract from the rewards pool. It’s like a black-market Nitain deal, but without all the shady back-alley negotiations. So take a deep breath, summon your inner Zen, and brace yourself for the ultimate Nitain adventure!

Ah, what an epic and humorous journey through the wild world of rare resources in Warframe! From the sneaky Ospreys of Oxium to the elusive Nitain Extract, these treasures make our Warframe lives thrilling, challenging, and downright hilarious. So gear up, Tenno, embrace the grind, and show those resources who’s boss! May your inventories be full and your adventures be endless. Happy hunting! ✨
