How to Prime Farm 101
By Sumire Violets
Welcome, if you're a Warframe Veteran who is confused with the new relic system or a new Warframe player who just jumped in after the Specters of the Rails update, surely you must be asking yourself "What are relics and what do i do with them?"
Well my fellow Tenno, you came to the right guide

"What is a Prime?"
(If you are familiar with prime stuff, please skip to the second section)

If you've put a couple of hours into Warframe, you might have some questions, one of your first is "What is a Prime?"




A Prime Warframe or weapon is essentially the better version of a Warframe or weapon, Prime Warframes aren't as big of a deal as they are minor buffs to shield, armor, energy or health aswell as additional polarity slots when upgrading.
























However, Prime weapons are a much bigger deal, most deal higher damage and have either increased critical chance and critical damage, or higher status chance, as with Prime Warframes, they also come with altered polarity slots which allow for deeper customization.
"What are Void Relics?"
Void Relics are relics that contain certain blueprints or items inside them, each reward with their own drop chance, however, Void Traces can reduce the chance of common stuff appearing and more rare stuff appearing

Relics are split into 4 different categories:

Lith

Neo

Meso

Axi

Void Relics could be obtained in the following mission types:

Spy: complete all vaults

Excavation: Rotation B

Survival
"How do I open Void Relics?"
When you open your navigation system, there will be a bar at the top-right corner of the screen, the second to last icon to the right are missions with Void Fissures in them

When you begin a mission, Lotus will inform you that there is a Void fissure, as you go along the mission, Void fissures will begin to corrupt enemies, after certain amounts of enemies are killed, they will drop reactant, collect 10 reactant to open your relic and earn Void Traces
FIN
I hope you learnt some useful information, now go out there and get your prime gear!

Edit: Guide has been updated to the new fissure system

For anybody else who's reading this basic analysis on how void relics work;
if you're interested in going more in-depth over how void relics work, how opening them works and how farming void traces work - Go look on the Warframe wiki.
So much information on there $ 3$~

"you must fill the fissure up with 10 relics" should read "you must fill the fissure up with 10 Void Reactants"
