Both routes are fair. 48p gets Cernos Prime now, or farming all 5 parts takes about 27 runs solo on average (9 runs in a four-player radshare), plus the missions to collect the relics.
Here are part specific prices:
| Part | Price | Farm (average runs) | Best move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blueprint | 5p | 5 solo · 2 radshare (Neo V9) | Buy |
| Grip | 8p | 4 solo · 1 radshare (Axi S8) | Either |
| Lower Limb | 20p | 10 solo · 3 radshare (Lith C7) | Either |
| String | 7p | 4 solo · 1 radshare (Axi V10) | Either |
| Upper Limb | 8p | 4 solo · 1 radshare (Meso N11) | Either |

How To Farm Cernos Prime
Optimal approach
- Go for the Lower Limb first. Getting the required prime part takes the most runs at the given refinement making it the hardest to farm. Even then the part is not guaranteed (Pray to RNGesus!).
- Best Relic to focus on is Lith C7.
- With all four players opening Lith C7 at Radiant, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo. So opening the same relic as a squad is always better.
- After that: Blueprint from Neo V9 (20.00% per-player at Radiant). Repeat farming and opening the relic until you have everything you need.
Refinement and radshares
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Lith C7 while going for the Lower Limb. For squad odds, all four players must open that relic at Radiant. This increases your chances of getting the part.
- As per the game odds, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds of getting the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Keep relics Intact for Common rewards. Radiant gives the highest chance for Uncommon and Rare rewards; use the refinement listed for each part in the farming plan. Never open Axi relics for rare parts solo, it's not worth it.
