In this guide I will talk about relics. This guide is intended for beginners who are still appearing in the game.
Let's start with the fact that there are 4 types of Relics in the game:
Lit Era Meso Era Neo Era Axi Era
To the right of the armory you have a Relic Rack.
To activate it, you need to pass the node between Earth and Mars.
In this stand you can see all the relics that you currently have, and also shows the number of echoes that are needed to improve the Relics.
You can also improve your relics, there are 3 improvement options:
The upgrade option affects the chance of dropping rarer loot.

You can get Relics in 3 ways:
Relics are spent on Void Rifts. Rips appear in random missions. These missions are indicated in a special tab on the map.
Void Rift missions are divided by difficulty: Lit Era->Meso Era->Neo Era->Axi Era. When you start such a mission, you will be given the choice of one of the relics of that era that is located on this planet.
When completing a mission, passages will appear along the entire path Rifts from which enemies will appear and from which they will fall Reagents, necessary to close the Rift and Echoes of the Abyss which are needed to improve Relics.
Abyssal Relics are very ancient artifacts, these ancient relics can be obtained if all the Abyssal Rift missions are completed.
There are four types of unique relics in Warframe: Axi Era, Lit Era, Neo Era and Meso Era. Meanwhile, all artifacts are designated by a number or a letter of the Latin alphabet. Each artifact consists of six main items, parts, blueprints, and a mold. The contents of the relics are divided into certain values, two unusual items, one rare item and three common items.
Few Warframe players know, but in fact there are only four types of unique relics, distributed by era. Relics can be farmed and opened only by completing various tasks on any of the planets; as such, there is simply no mission to collect relics. It is also worth noting that each individual relic has its own unique features:
- The player will receive such relics as Meso and Lit only when he completes one of the tasks from the first to the twentieth level. When the twenty-first level is reached, such relics will drop out much more often than usual; the more difficult the mission, the greater the chance of receiving one or another relic.
- In survival mode, the player can receive relics every twenty minutes.
- In survival mode, upon reaching the Orokin ruins, the player will be able to obtain Meso and Lith artifacts; relics will drop out after a certain period of time.
- While completing the mission to defend the cause, the player will also drop certain types of relics, just like in the Orokin Ruins.
- During missions, relics also sometimes appear, but in certain rounds.
- You can also get several relics from excavations, namely in rounds 3, 7, 11.
- During the espionage mission, the player will have to hack two vaults, and at the end will receive one relic.
In order to successfully complete all Warframe challenges that are included in the Abyss Rip quest, you can use one of the unique relics. But you can complete all the tests without the relic, only at the end of the tasks you will not receive a reward, instead you will receive echoes of the abyss. Among other things, if the player does not open the path to the mission tree, then it will not be possible to complete the task of breaking the Abyss, since the road will be closed. But the player can bypass this restrictive part only if his character has access to complete the task.
The main goal of the task is to collect the reagent from the enslaved, eventually the gap will close, and then you can safely proceed to the evacuation point. Players who complete tasks with relics, then at the end of successful completion of the task, they will be able to choose one of four offered rewards. When the reward is selected, all relics from the inventory will be permanently removed and cleared.
When the player finds a suitable relic, at the beginning he will not be able to use it; first, he will have to go through a special task, namely breaking the abyss. In order to complete this task, you will first need to make sure that it is already available for completion. If it turns out that this task is not available to you, then you will need to find a friend from your team who has access to the task.
When all conditions are met, the relics can be used. To begin, the player will have to select a suitable artifact and place it in his inventory. When completing an abyss rip mission, the player's main goal is to close the rip and get to the extraction point as quickly as possible.
When all the conditions are met, the player will unlock a new improvement, namely a relic stand. Here you can improve the artifacts you find. During upgrades, there is a very high chance of receiving very rare items. To summarize, we can say that if a player for some reason does not want to farm relics, then he can purchase them from the in-game store.
Relic Stand
When the monorail condition is successfully completed, the player will receive an Abyssal Relic, thanks to which the armory rack can be opened. When the stand opens, the player will have access to a unique opportunity to improve his relics, and some items, for improvements he will have to spend echoes that he will receive for the task of echoes of the abyss.
Warframe - three options for upgrading relics
- The first is unusual (you will need to spend twenty-five echoes);
- The second is incomparable (for this you will have to spend fifty echoes);
- The third improvement is shining (you will need to spend one hundred echoes).
Thanks to the improvement, the player will be able to select rare items from his relics. Relics that have been upgraded cannot be upgraded again. The upgraded relic will automatically be disconnected from the main upgraded relic.
Drop Chances
The influence of the type of relic on the chance of dropping a rare item:
| Type | Regular reward | Unusual reward | Rare reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Untouched | 76% | 22% | 2% |
| Unusual | 70% | 26% | 4% |
| Peerless | 60% | 34% | 6% |
| Shining | 50% | 40% | 10% |
A group of four players with relics of the same level has the following chances of receiving rare items:
In a new update from the Warframe developers, Abyssal Keys have been replaced with Abyssal Relics.
When the rift is successfully closed, at the end the player will be able to choose one of two rewards, the number of rewards themselves will directly depend on the number of equipped relics. It is worth noting that one reward is directly one item from your relics, the rest of the rewards are unique relics of other players.
The player, in turn, can choose one of the proposed options, and no more than one available reward. If during the mission the player has at least one relic in his inventory, he will not receive any available reward. The allied reward will also not be available for selection.
If players choose the same relic after completing a Warframe mission, they will receive it at the end.
If another player chooses your relic, you will be able to receive one wonderful bonus as a reward; one echo of the abyss will be available to you.
Each relic has its own unique name; if a relic has the name of a letter, then it is most likely a rare drawing. The name of the number is very often used if in the past the relic was named after a letter. The rarest relics are, of course, the relics of the abyss, unique artifacts of their kind.
Having acquired such a unique item, the player will be able to use it to purchase unique items that are very expensive. But only few of today’s gamers know how and where they can farm these unique relics, and how to use them.
The Warframe game does not stand still and is constantly evolving. Updates come out frequently, fix various errors and bugs, and periodically improve optimization. But there are also more global updates that add something new to the game or radically change something old. Thus, the latest update, which arrived on the servers a few days ago, was 4 gigabytes in size, and added many different changes to the game.
The first thing that caught my eye was the visual component. The appearance of the store and the global map has changed. More beautiful, yes, but the design is a little awkward. But, once they get used to it, users will be able to navigate them faster and better than before. But there were some incidents: due to the rebalancing of locations, the Warframe game becomes even more like a typical grind.
Now you will have to spend more time on other locations in order to subsequently knock out a relic, with which you can complete a special task and receive a reward. This is exactly the reward that players are hunting for. Yes, the update affected mainly the most important locations, such as the Abyss and the Orokin Tower. Warframe, no matter how strange it may sound, has become more like Korean games.
What did they do to her?
Previously, in order to open new missions in the “Abyss”, which differed not only in difficulty level but also in rewards, you had to buy a key in the store or get it on one of the missions, or buy a drawing in the store and make it yourself. Now everything is different: new missions in the “Abyss” open as you complete old ones, but there are no special rewards for which players completed these missions. Yes, the developers have completely removed the prime parts.
What are relics?
Relics are special items that are needed to receive expensive rewards for completing missions. They come in different types, and each individual relic has its own items and drop rate. Naturally, the more expensive and difficult the relic is to obtain, the more valuable the “clothes” that can be knocked out will be.
To use a relic, you need to click the “rift” button on the global map, then select the desired relic (after seeing what things it can bring) and go on a mission with it. Well, the tasks themselves, oddly enough, take place in scenery very reminiscent of the Orokin Tower location. Warframe, by the way, is suitable for almost any one.
Doesn't it make sense to go to the Abyss?
Previously, it was the “Abyss” that was the main source of the most valuable items. By completing missions, players earned prime parts for warframes or weapons, necessary resources for crafting, Abyss keys for other missions, and so on. "Form" - an important component that is necessary in many industries - could only be obtained in the "Abyss".
On "Survival" you will have to sweat a little. But the player has complete freedom, all he needs is to kill his opponents in droves. And since in “Orokin Ruins” the enemies are infected, which are stronger than usual, the reward comes every five minutes, which is very profitable and fast. Yes, and you can get hold of some good mods.
With “Defense” things are a little different. Every fifth wave there is a high chance of a relic dropping, but the intruders are useless here, and crowds of infected will try to destroy the object, which will have to be diligently defended. The difficulty and level of enemies increases and without a well-equipped warframe it will be too difficult.
As a last resort, a set of 3 relics can be bought for 20,000 syndicate points, but there is no point in this, because points are better spent on rare fashions and items.
But “Orokin Tower - Defense” and “Orokin Tower - Survival”, unfortunately, were not included in this list, although before the update they were in the top among farming players.
