Efficient Resource Farming
Efficiently gather resources in Warframe by understanding mission types and scanning objects. Focus on missions that yield specific materials, and always use your scanner to identify valuable items. Knowing where to find key resources like those from Storage Containers or Resource Caches is crucial for progression.
Resource farming in Warframe often involves completing specific mission types and interacting with objects in the environment. Many static or miscellaneous objects can be scanned with a Codex Scanner or have object-based health, and are categorized as Objects in the Codex. These include:
- Storage Container: Often contain various resources.
- Resource Cache: Provides valuable materials.
- Kuva Siphon: A source of Kuva.
- Kuria: Collectible objects.
- Thousand-Year Fish: Another type of collectible.
- Domestik Drone: Can be found in certain areas.
- Turret: Environmental objects.
- Infested Hive: Found in Infested missions.
For example, to find lore related to Grineer mining operations and leadership, you can scan fragments on Mercury. These fragments detail the Grineer's genetic degradation and their use of cybernetic augmentations. Each fragment on Mercury requires 5 scans to complete.
| Planet/Region | Scans Required | Fragment Lore |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury | 5 | Galleon fleets keep watch over Grineer mining operations that penetrate Mercury's asteroid field. Cavernous rooms and twisting metal corridors mark where labourers have stripped the region for natural resources, transforming the natural landscape to support Grineer occupancy. |
| Mercury | 5 | Grineer are all clones from a genetic pool of 'Originals'. They are able to extend their lifespans with recycled cloned parts, but their genetic material has degraded over time, and haphazard repairs have made many of them look oddly deformed and susceptible to skin diseases. Through decades of service, many of the Grineer elite can cover the expense to have flawed organic parts replaced with cybernetic augmentations. |
