Optimal Approach:
- Go for the Blueprint first. It has the lowest item drop rate in the Nekros Prime set and will be the hardest to farm, when comparing to other parts.
- Best relic to focus: Lith N3 (currently vaulted - trade with a player for the relic or wait for Prime Resurgence access).
- In full radiant relic squad, you have a 34.39% chance per run vs 10.00% when running solo.
- After that: Systems Blueprint from Lith N2 (10.00% per-player for Radiant).
Refinement Tips:
- Use Radiant (100 Traces) on Lith N3 while going for the Blueprint; always run radshares in groups.
- At current rates, you can expect roughly 2 Radshare runs for 50% odds for the required prime part, compared with about 7 solo runs.
- Run Intact/Exceptional Relics only when farming for common or uncommon primes (these are great for ducat farming), use Void Traces for the relics with hard to farm parts. Especially Axi Relics.
